I condemn murder in all its forms and for any reason. What happened to Charlie Kirk was a tragedy, and nothing justifies such violence. At the same time, we must be honest about context: Kirk was a prominent voice for an extreme right-wing movement, one entangled with currents of white supremacy and ultra-conservative ideology now spreading globally.
It is striking that his death receives blanket coverage in mainstream media, while the daily atrocities in the Middle East—particularly those committed against Palestinians by Zionist forces—often go underreported or framed with bias, leaving citizens to rely on independent and grassroots journalism for more balanced truth.
The rush to blame Democrats for this killing is not only unfounded but dangerously naive. Such sweeping accusations—"all Democrats" or "all Republicans"—fuel the very divisiveness that corrodes democracy and society. This pattern of finger-pointing distracts from truth-seeking and serves only to deepen fractures.
From what I’ve seen, Tyler Robinson, the accused, is a hardcore MAGA who followed Kirk but became disillusioned that Kirk’s propaganda was not extreme enough. This reveals the peril of radicalisation itself—a spiral that feeds on fear, anger, and polarisation.
Now more than ever, we must resist knee-jerk reactions. We must commit to looking deeper, beyond headlines and partisan talking points, to seek nuance, truth, and understanding. Violence cannot be answered with further division. Only wisdom, honesty, and courage can interrupt the cycle.
