Charlie Kirk was not executed for a “difference of opinion,” as many commentators have framed it. He was executed because he made arguments. Persuasive arguments. Arguments that were shifting the culture. Arguments that were planting seeds of hope in a famously nihilistic generation.
The Democratic left has rarely been forced to wrestle with real debate. They have been conditioned to shout down opponents rather than reason with them. Their policy arguments fit on a poster board.
Charlie introduced critical thinking and persuasion to a generation raised by coercion and groupthink. He asked young people brave enough to attend his events whether their life choices – like racking up “body counts,” disappearing into gaming and porn, casual abortions, numbing themselves with drugs and alcohol, and even going to college – were truly serving them.
Were these behaviors and habits and decisions, promoted hard by the culture, moving their lives forward, bringing them meaning and purpose, helping them achieve their goals?
Is what the culture is serving up to you, serving you?
He didn’t force anyone to change. He didn’t demand allegiance. He simply made arguments. And it was working. His words were shifting the culture.
The Bolsheviks murdered those who opposed their revolution, calling it “Revolutionary Justice.”
Where have we heard such euphemistic language more recently?
Social Justice.
Climate Justice.
Reproductive Justice.
Economic Justice.
Restorative Justice.
Racial Justice.
A neo-Bolshevik Revolution swarmed America’s culture decades ago. Oh yes, they have been here the whole time, hiding in plain sight.They were patient. They worked incrementally, methodically, but mercilessly.
Charlie Kirk threatened to unravel decades of hard work of quietly infiltrating the institutions, manipulating the culture, manipulating the capitalist markets, manipulating the children. In euphemistic terms, one might say that Charlie interfered with “securing cultural transformation” and “consolidating revolutionary authority.”
America has always been the prize for the communists. Control America and you control the world.
Trump’s ascension in 2016 took them by surprise and shook them to the core. But American culture was not yet ready for acceleration, for true Revolutionary Justice. It would backfire if done too soon, too abruptly. They would have to be more subtle.
Instead of using a bullet, they would:
Destroy his name and reputation. Resist his agenda. Protest him. Spread lies about him. Overwhelm him. Keep him on defense. Spy on him. Spy on his associates. Spy on his family. Turn them against each other. Infiltrate his circle. Impeach him. Steal his election victory. Impeach him again. De-bank him. Weaponize the law. Censor him. Weaponize law enforcement. Weaponize a virus. Weaponize a vaccine. Bankrupt him. Raid his home. Imprison him. Destroy his lawyers. Scare them away. Disbar them. Destroy his supporters. Censor them. Lie to them. Lie to them some more. Repeat the lies. Repeat the lies more. Demoralize them. Harass them in public. Harass them at home. Harass them at work. Keep them on defense. Shun them. Overwhelm them. Burn down their cities. Hold no one accountable. Set them up. Frame them. Cancel them. Make them cover their faces. Keep them six feet apart. Worship criminals. Revoke their professional credentials. Make them fear their government. Shout them down. Make them distrust each other. Make them paranoid. Neuter the authorities. Discredit the authorities. Replace the authorities. Criminalize their speech. Get them fired. Dox them. Raid their homes. Terrorize their children. Create a spectacle. Ridicule them. Isolate them. Force them to denounce their leaders. Force them to denounce their beliefs. Keep the pressure on. Protest their businesses. Audit them. Boycott them. Prosecute them. Smother their political groups in the crib. Spread lies about them. Silence them. Gaslight them. Gaslight them again. Discredit their lying eyes. De-bank them. Bankrupt them. Lock them down. Lock their children out of school. Force them out of business. Traumatize them. Traumatize them again. Traumatize them some more. Force language on them. Punish them if they refuse to use the new words. Force them to suppress their own judgment. Flood their towns with criminals and strangers from other lands. Don’t tell them. Make them pay for it. Let the strangers rape their girls. Let them be killed. Call them names. Demonize them. Call them Nazis so you can punch them, or worse. Imprison them. Torture them. Rewrite history. Distort history. Delete history. Indoctrinate the youth. Turn friends and family against each other. Turn children against parents. Turn communities against each other. Start a race war. Start a war of the sexes. Confuse the kids. Mutilate the kids. Force them to pay for it. Make them question their sanity.
Trump’s resurrection in 2024 was a likely extinction event for the neo-Bolsheviks. Subtlety was no longer enough. They would have to expose themselves.
A new era of Revolution has begun.
The first bullet was fired on July 13, 2024. The second on September 10, 2025. More bullets are coming.
The Revolution doesn’t sleep – and it doesn’t forgive.
