“America the safe haven is now long gone. Political violence, once the exclusive domain of ‘less developed’ places”
I’d argue this is incorrect. Political violence has always been a part of the left’s lexicon.
Have you forgotten Lincoln’s assassination? The Weatherman. The KKK. Mob lynchings. It’s an endless list. And 98% of it comes from the left. The 2% that remains is likely the deep state.
You are correct that there have been acts of political violence before, and that's not what we're arguing. It's that there is now a 'climate' of politically aggravated actions that, in our estimation, hasn't existed in the United States at least for a few decades.
Today, there maybe be a climate of politically aggravated actions in the US that hadn't existed before but maybe it's just as Malcolm x once said "The chickens coming home to roost". Look at the violence the US has used since WW2 to overthrow uncooperative governments. Iran, Guatemala, Brazil, Nicaragua, Chile, Libya, Iraq, Syria, etc. All the while singing "It can't happen here" in this beacon of democracy.
Evidently the system did not like my comment so I will try again:
I believe one day, possibly sooner than we realize, people in general will say, "You know, I think it started with the murder of Charlie Kirk." But for it started much sooner. It started on January 6, 2021 when a young USAF veteran by the name of Ashli Babbit, was shot in the face for trespassing on public property, property owned by the PEOPLE of these united states of America. Yes, I saw JFK killed and RFK senior and Dr. Martin Luther King but America was a different place then. Now, America has morphed into something, being in my 70's, I do not recognize any longer. Perhaps the comparison to Ireland is appropriate. Whatever the case it is not a good sign.

This isn't something surprising. This type of violence has been encouraged for years now.
We have had DAs funded for years that actively release violent offenders. Both our prior President and Vice-President were involved in raising funds to keep releasing violent "protesters".
The mainstream media coverage paints these actors as righteous and just and blames the victims as having incited them.
Words that people don't want spoken are equated with violence and justify violence in return.
The reporting of crime has been skewed to hide the increase in violence.
If we speak up about the actors, we are labeled as intolerant or just gaslit that it is happening at all. If we defend ourselves we are systematically punished.
Any time we vote for people that go against this narrative, they are labeled as "far right extremists".
This isn't limited to the US. It is happening in many other countries as well and spreading.
You must’ve typed that little tirade with one hand on your artisan oat milk latte and the other clutching your moral superiority complex. Calling Charlie Kirk a Nazi while wishing him to "rot in piss"? Darling, your creativity’s about as sharp as a participation trophy. Maybe take a break from the rage-posting and try a history book—might help you aim those insults with a bit more precision next time.
Folks would do well to review their history and understand Operation Gladio which is the collective name for a notorious Cold War-era program whereby Anglo-American intelligence services and NATO, in conjunction with mafia elements and fascist paramilitaries, constructed a pan-European nexus of clandestine “stay behind” armed resistance units.
Eliminating political enemies while keeping the domestic population in a state of constant agitation and uncertainty is the goal.
He was not a just a “political commentator”, although he touched on this topic.
He was a “worldview commentator”, a very broad and foundational conversation that forces people to reflect why they believe what they believe to be “True” and “Good” vs what they believe to be a lie, and evil.
This is the conversation we all desperately need.
Mark 10:17-18
The Rich Young Man
“And as he was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and knelt before him and asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.”
The killing appeared to be targeted but questions remain. Was the shooter psychotic and deluded, acting on their own or a paid assassin hired by a hidden manipulator with a hidden agenda? I never heard of Kirk until this happened but it shocked the hell out of me. I find it difficult to grasp how anyone could do this just because of ideology they didn't like, somehow justifying murder and possible consequences in Utah where the death penalty exists. When Kennedy was shot there was a deeper agenda that was buried and I wonder if this is the case here.
But I also think the erosion of morality and ethics is driving us toward a violent and unpredictable future. Too many systems of support are breaking down, too much corruption is ongoing and killing and maiming has been legalized and normalized along with relentless propaganda, as we saw with the ongoing mrna bioweapon assault. It's a perfect storm for the collapse of civil society. We can't allow some to murder with impunity, while punishing others, but that's what's happening. We see it on the news daily.

Charlie Kirk was a Nazi. May he rot in piss.

My money is on Mossad.
Look no further than the blood drunk celebrations in leftist social media to find your answer. He was hated intensely for what he stood for.
Thanks for your thoughtful comments.
