Charlie Kirk and “Cancel Culture”

Source: Libertarian Institute
by Thomas Eddlem

“While the praise for Kirk’s murder online was mostly reactionary and thoughtless, the calls for firing the (mostly powerless) people who said or posted about Kirk is different in one sense: Their kind of punch-down bullying is thought-out, thoroughly deliberate. Therefore, in that one sense, the right-wing dimwits calling for their pound of leftist flesh are worse than the leftist dimwits who posted that crap online in the first place. … Anyone seeking liberty should see this for what it is: A screen test of the two-minutes of Orwellian hate that will be used against people seeking liberty at the first opportunity.” (09/16/25)
