Well down in the pits of Gehenna, where the clueless gematria and other manufactured evidence propagates dwell, Charlie Kirk was big. For that first day especially. I caught a livestream where a YouTube channel moderator pushed for donations because the Jesuits murdered Charlie (allegedly). And yeah, there’s naturally a video from someone who might have beaten Trump to the punch on publicly stating that it was obviously a radical leftist. Because Alexandria Ocasio Cortez was <GASP!> wearing purple during her commentary to reporters on the assassination.
<sarcasm font>Because yeah, sure. That makes all kinds of fucking sense.</sarcasm font>
Overall, the full spectrum of thoughts and prayers are on display. From full mockery for the irony of Kirk’s clear lack of empathy and obvious grift down to the right wing patriots who should seek revenge. And that was before we were even sure Kirk had died. Well, Charlie would have been proud to know that the gematria grifters took it to task to grift and fake debate their way through an exceptional day in their otherwise tepid lives. Doing what Charlie was really good at. Stirring up trouble and getting paid for it.
Oh yeah, there’s no doubt in my mind from what I’ve seen that Charlie cared more about the money than an actual consistent message. Unlike Charlie I don’t view empathy as a weakness; a target painted on oneself to be ridiculed and bullied. Empathy doesn’t necessarily mean donating to a Go Fund Me or sending thoughts and prayers. It’s recognizing how, based on pattern recognition and past experiences you can expect others to feel. So don’t expect me to mourn Charlie. And god no don’t force me to.
No, my empathy is reserved for what the near future holds as political violence has predictably been ramping up based on all sorts of sociological and financial pressure. People get crazier when things are going bad, and we’re spiraling towards rock bottom, fast. It’s all fun and games calling out someone for wearing the wrong color until you realize that your bag of Doritos is out of stock because the whole food supply chain is screwed up by massive unemployment and inflation.
I’m scared immigrants may decide to arm themselves to strike back at the deportation raids. I’m scared there are National Guard troops not realizing they’re in over their head and suffering from someone else’s bad decision. I’m worried about political leaders on both sides of the aisle, unable to function knowing what’s right, ok, and wrong to do and say changes within days if not hours. I’m really fucking terrified of the people I interact daily who refuse to admit there’s the slightest thing wrong going on. And I empathize with them. Thanks to the Charlie Kirk’s of the world, violence is normalized. And that’s why, although not specifically Charlie it was completely foreseeable that something like this would happen to…someone. And it’s easily foreseeable that we’re a long way from being done. Generations of propaganda fueled indoctrination don’t disappear by a couple of thoughts and prayers. (Which were bypassed on the school shooting that happened on the 10th, bigger stuff going on. That was far too normal.)
Yeah the world is a big place, and you can play the mental gymnastics projection game (which gematria helps with) and claim everyone is jealous of the great U.S. of A. But the actual fact is we’re a laughing stock. And you can only play the bully card so many times before the other side just doesn’t want to deal with you anymore.
I do wish Charlie hadn’t been killed. A lot, like I said was from the expected overcompensating reaction. But also it won’t solve anything. No amount of deaths on one side or the other of the highly polarized spectrum is going to make other sovereign nations want to get into a trade deal or alliance, knowing we’re just going to break it. Other countries are looking on and their powers that be are gauging what happens here as a barometer of how their own capitalist ventures are also hitting the wall. The wall of “everyone found out how to fraud on a massive scale once the internet misinformation started clicking into high gear.”
Everything about this is a tragedy. Where is an old fashioned gematria narrator that talks of peace and love when you need one the most?
