So, suppose a leftist radical killed this Charlie Kirk guy. A communist or anarchist. This could be the case. I’m not saying it is, but it could.

If this were the case, what are my thoughts on it?

I don’t like the idea of killing a person for speaking his/her mind. It’s a sort of cancel culture, getting out of hand. A radical form of cancel culture. A definitive form of cancellation.

This Kirk just represents a sentiment that is within the American culture. A lot of Americans are very, very conservative, very Christian, very pro-Israel, very authoritarian. If you kill one of these people, there are still millions of them. You can’t kill an idea or a cultural current. So, even if you think killing this Kirk is a good thing, it’s not effective at all. I even think it’s counterproductive. The conservatives now feel strengthened in their beliefs. You make them more combative. This action will make some of them very radical.

Okay, so when you say something someone doesn’t agree with, can you really kill that person? That’s a good idea? A good foundation for a society? A statist society, or a future anarchist society?

The leftist anarchists in the West want to set this tone. They want a situation in which you get canceled, attacked, or even killed for speaking your mind. They think this will lead to ‘a free society’. In reality, it leads to an atmosphere of fear and terror. Nobody dares to say anything. Everyone will just be silent; only the most cunning and psychopathic individuals will talk. In a way, you then have a dictatorship. A cultural dictatorship.

We have seen the small-scale effect of this cancel culture terror. When some feminists had problems with some third-wave feminist concepts, they got kicked out of an anarchist festival. This will mean that in the future, people don’t dare to speak their minds about third-wave feminist subjects (subjects like p*rn and transgender, etc). This means that third-wave feminists will never actually know what people think of their ideas, because people don’t dare to talk about these matters. In a way, the feedback mechanism is broken, you could say. You present something, but you don’t know how people respond. You say things, and the people should just listen and be silent. This is your free society/culture?

If you want to challenge the ideas of these conservatives, you have to come up with something better. Why would a leftist society work better? What is the problem with capitalism and neoliberalism? If an anarchist society works well, prove it to the people. Prove it by actually creating that world. But you can’t, because your ideas are not really something you can realize in the West. This is the reason why you are living in bad faith. And this is the reason you make so much noise. To mask your insecurity.

I know a conservative/neoliberal person. The only thing i can do, is explain to her what my problems are with capitalism, why i don’t like landlordism, how i experience all these matter. Maybe some of it will stick. Perhaps some of my statements will make her think about these issues. Thats the only thing i can do. If I were to cancel her, I could never reach her anymore, you could say. Then she will never hear another perspective.

The socialist party here criticizes the actions of the conservatives. In this way, hundreds of thousands of conservatives are exposed to socialist (social democratic) ideas. Some of these conservatives might consider the issues, and some of them might even change their minds. The socialists have the confidence to do this. The western (so-called) anarchists are too insecure to talk on such a show (because they know they don’t have answers to questions) (they know they are actually LARP).

You can’t be something when you’re only a negation of something else. You only exist as opposition to culturally conservative ideas. Why would anyone be part of your little subculture? What’s the benefit of being part of that? Nothing. You can attack as many conservatives as you want, but you will always stay marginal and useless.

And don’t forget, you often come from a Charlie Kirk milieu. Your parents were like Kirk. This is your background. You just happened to fall out of it, and you radicalised in the other direction. It’s as if you are fighting your own demons. Demons from the past.
