Murder of Charlie Kirk and Unacceptable Actions Worth Condemning
In a shocking turn of events, Charlie Kirk, a prominent political figure, was brutally murdered this week at Utah Valley University. The shooting occurred during a debate with students, and the assassin left no evidence at the scene.
Upon learning of the shooting, the speaker's initial reactions were shock, horror, and the belief that the shooting was likely the result of a radicalized dog breeder associated with transgender ideology. The assassin allegedly wrote that he was motivated by Charlie's hate and that some hate can't be negotiated out.
This tragic event serves as a stark reminder that ideologies that breed violence are a threat to our democracy and social order. Trans ideology, radical Islam, white supremacy, and radical Marxism all argue that violence is a justified response to perceived oppression. Politicians who justify violence by massaging these ideologies are providing a permission structure for violence and excusing it.
Radical Islam argues that violence is a proper response to the failures of Islamic civilization and the success of the West. Radical Marxism contends that violence is an appropriate response to the "false consciousness" promoted by free markets. White supremacy argues that force is a justifiable response to perceived threats from people of color, Jews, and other minorities. Trans ideology, in some extreme cases, believes that denial of identity, erasure, or genocide justifies violence.
Ideologies that breed violence often share a conspiratorial view of the universe. They often believe that you or your group are being targeted for destruction. Continued fomenting of such ideologies by politicians can lead to increased radicalization and violence in society.
It is crucial that we denounce these ideologies that breed political violence. This is the only way to truly fight it. Ben Shapiro, a graduate of UCLA and Harvard Law School, host of "The Ben Shapiro Show," and co-founder of Daily Wire+, is among those who have been vocal in condemning such ideologies. He is a three-time New York Times bestselling author and his columns and articles can be found on The Creators Syndicate website.
The politician who critically examines ideologies that nurture political violent crime is not explicitly named in the provided sources; however, the discourse generally condemns right-wing extremist ideologies and their associated violence, highlighting the need for political and societal accountability and rejecting such ideologies firmly as threats to democracy and social order.
As we mourn the loss of Charlie Kirk, let us remember that our words and actions have consequences. We must strive to foster a society where violence is not justified, but condemned, and where all people can live in peace and harmony.
