The Left is really sounding off, but I feel like too few people are actually hearing them.
I think the first signal we were sent — or at least the most discernible signal — was the cheering we heard from TMZ the moment we learned Charlie Kirk had been assassinated. TMZ claimed that the cheering was unrelated, but the timing was awfully strange.
We always knew there would be some who celebrated, because there are always those types of people, and we've learned to be disgusted and move on, because it was always thought they were fewer in number than the overall number of leftists who still had some humanity. I'm sure many still do, but I'm not sure if they'd qualify as modern leftists anymore. I'm not sure modern leftists would let them.
Perhaps we should've been paying more attention to Luigi Mangione. He was the canary in the coal mine.
It came more into focus recently with, I think, three events.
The first was the girl who read a Kirkiversary poem to a TPUSA rep. It went viral, and the woman had to issue an apology that very few people bought.
Disgusting woman! Are you thinking what I’m thinking? https://t.co/8MT5HjHTHN

The second was the fallout for the "I've Had It" podcast after they laughed about posts saying they were "digging up Charlie Kirk and doing it again." They also issued an apology that no one bought because it came after sponsors began pulling out, especially since they ended the apology by announcing a donation to Everytown USA, an anti-gun group that Charlie was against. The aim here was to turn this into a gun violence issue to avoid discussing the moral one on the table.
Then came a betrayal that was possibly inevitable, given his increasingly partisan nonsense. Comedian Dave Chappelle, a man many respected despite political differences, showed everyone that the difference wasn't so much political as it was moral. If you haven't seen it yet, footage of Chappelle at his latest stand-up performance at Madison Square Garden shows him beginning the show by declaring he felt better after Charlie had been killed.
Where is the joke? Every comedian falls off, especially as they get wealthier & more comfortable. Chappelle’s last special was unwatchable. He’s just not very funny anymore. But this is like 4Chan edgelord slop. Not even trying to be funny. I don’t care when a comic puts out offensive material. It’s the comedian’s job to be edgy. And I believe you can joke about anything. But where’s the joke? This isn’t funny. It’s not even trying to be funny. And if you’re mocking somebody’s death, but you’re not even trying to be funny… Then you’re just an asshole. https://t.co/hg6efftB6J

He added afterward that he's sure "Charlie is looking up at us right now and laughing so hard he can't breathe." As Spencer Pratt noted in the post, there was no real joke there. It sounds like some edgy comment you'd find on a message board website. To be clear, I don't mind edgy jokes. In fact, I love them, but the point is that there's a comedic beat to it. Chappelle's lines here had no punchline. They were just statements.
But it highlights something that I think is worth paying attention to: Chappelle kind of said the quiet part out loud.
He just felt better watching people he disagreed with die. Poem girl wore a smug smile on her face as she jeered and threatened a TPUSA rep. Jennifer Welch was laughing at a post about shooting Charlie again.
I'll give you one more point here so I can fully illustrate what I'm saying.
My colleague Nick Arama wrote about NYT bestselling author Scott Galloway confessing that he was so driven by his hatred of Elon Musk that he sold his Tesla, but not before pooping in the front seat. He also suggested, in front of a live audience, that Musk should be lined up against a wall and shot.
Scott Galloway calls Elon Musk a "traitor to the West" and invokes the executions of the Rosenbergs after WW2. "We lined up the Rosenbergs against a wall. This is a traitor to the West, and he should be held to the same standards as every other traitor in the West." *Applause* These people are absolutely unhinged.

That's not the only clip from Galloway that is worth seeing. So emotional was his response to Trump's election that he confessed to selling off all his stocks, something he admits was a very stupid thing to do because the market went crazy thereafter.
Scott Galloway says he sold all of his stocks after Trump won in 2016 due to an "emotional reaction." "When he was elected in 2016, I sold all my stocks. That was stupid." "You could argue that decision cost me 40% of my liquid net worth in stocks." This is the same guy who said Kamala would make a great Supreme Court Justice and couldn't believe it when Mamdani "doxxed" him. So this tracks.

Emotion is the guiding star of the Left. Sure, it has been for ages, but there's been a marked decline in logical and traditionally moral thinking for a while now. They do not judge their actions by the outcomes, but they attach moral significance to what they do based on how it makes them feel. In their book, murdering Charlie was a net positive for them because it shut up a man whom they deemed "hateful" and "racist," and whatever social sin they wanted to attach to it at the time.
In truth, they couldn't defeat him. If they could have, they wouldn't have shot him. He was constantly right, and it was making them look bad. Killing him was the best option because it meant the losses would stop. They didn't have to keep seeing the mirror he held up to them, and they could return to creating narratives in peace.
That feeling is a good one for them, so what they did was right in their eyes.
The point is that the Left is playing a different game than most people. If you're effective in the fight against them, most leftists won't pull the trigger that ends you, but they will make sure that an environment exists where someone eventually does. Then they will celebrate your death in public, and in the faces of your friends, family, and colleagues, and they will feel no remorse for it. Their morality is secured in their own mind. You're the bad guy. Anything that happens to you, no matter how awful, is justified because it advances the side of the "good guys."
You'd better start realizing you're in a war sooner rather than later.
