Inevitable

When I think about what a poorly-informed idiot I was at twenty-two years old, yet so cocksure and confident of my ability to see the world accurately, and how wrong I turned out to be, it somehow makes horrible sense that someone at that young age could decide to murder a good man loved by millions. And a whole lot more young, misguided idiots could applaud the act.

As Kamala herself said: “Young people are stupid.”

I can say with utter certainty that every opinion I held at that age was borrowed and repeated because I thought it would make me sound smart. And, most important, smarter than my parents’ generation. I, and most of my young friends, were recording devices. How could it have been otherwise? In my case, I endured 12 years of sitting in stuffy rooms hearing adults droning endlessly about— something. About what? I’m not sure, because I wasn’t listening.

But, I was absorbing. Like a sponge. And like most young people, at least in my pseudo-revolutionary cohort, I was absorbing the interior noise of a left-wing echo chamber. Although I never went to attended college, I sounded exactly like the brainwashed lefty children lining up to the microphone to challenge Charlie Kirk.

I’m not sure these idiots can be fully blamed for their plight. This year’s college seniors may have been steeped in leftist tropes since daycare— with scant, if any, counterpoint. At that age, your brain is still developing, and if the “developer,” to use a photography term, is a bubbling stew of Marxist bullshit, you may be permanently imprinted with dangerous radical nonsense that you might act on long before age and experience can supply wisdom.

If your college professor is like this guy, who majored in philosophy so he “would never have to work” and could surf and bang coeds at UC Santa Cruz, you are going to be exposed to a lot of recycled, unalloyed university claptrap never tested in anything resembling reality.

My indoctrination didn’t start until I was around fifteen, and only through exposure to the 60’s counterculture. Troy High School was in no danger of leftist capture for decades, at minimum. Yet, I was infected anyway with little exposure compared to that which students endure today.

I was as assured of my leftist beliefs as the hostile attendees at Kirk’s rallies. I only gradually attenuated them after I fell out of the liberal sphere and began to experience what we call “real life.” As in, working 40 hours at 2 dollars per and getting a 64-dollar net check on Friday (WTF? That’s MY money!). Weed or rent.

The left, in cahoots with a willing media, has convinced several generations that speech is violence— a contradiction that anyone would have scoffed just a decade ago— and fighting “violence” with violence is not only justifiable, but logical, and righteous.

As a result, a brainwashed idiot fired a bullet into Charlie Kirk in front of the whole world. Not only did Charlie die, but so did wisdom at the hands of ignorance. That is an unforgivable crime.

What is also a crime is destroying the minds of suggestible, gullible, guileless children for the express purpose of turning them into mindless drones who will burn cities, loot businesses, attack police, and murder a God-loving husband, father, and patriot.

But then, that was the whole point, wasn’t it? Surf’s up!
