Hi and I hear you as an American living in Puerto Rico, and a certified guide in fair-minded and empathetic critical thinking, with a masters in public administration/tribal and a bachelors in ethical journalism/mass communication, and a poet that sees connecting patterns.
What is naturally overlooked is this: When come to realize that death anxiety is what humans are reacting to then things make sense.
I support your heroism Richard of sharing your perspectives. These viewpoints are understandably agreed to by many. However please be aware of natural hypocrisy of doing what you are calling out others for doing - by either innocently or deliberately targeting and attacking a vague ‘enemy’. By the way - the underlying reason for this ongoing cycle of unfairly attacking anyone and any group is an unsuccessful attempt to ward off thoughts of death.
At this point, the US will never "come together". I truly feel the country should be divided. We could even split up into 4 different countries. The demise of the US is happening right in front of us.
The left are socialists/communists/democrats. This means they believe in taking from others. Taking lives is just an extension of that. The right, of course don't mind taking lots of lives in foreign countries. We can count on them to support their growing military empire, pretending that it is "defense".
The truth is that most humans are superstitious savages who do not actually believe in equal human rights. They never have. They believe in tribalism. They believe in authority instead of morality. They hate and fear anyone who is not just like them.

I am so sick over Charlie's assassination. I am an old man, disabled and retired, living off of an
SSID check. Even though I live in a tiny rural town in TX, and all of my neighbors are conservative, I am scared. I have several firearms, and now have begun carrying a handgun always, even at home. The left resorts to violence, when the right takes hits, stays calm, doesn't burn down cities like the left does when they are upset. We believe in God, in love, peace, forgiveness. In Texas, a supposedly "Red" state, all the major cities are run by democrats, with George Soros back DA's. I purposely bought a house in a small rural county that did not, and most likely never will, have a woke DA, that would persecute me for shooting a home intruder. Plus houses were much cheaper, and property taxes way lower. I wanted a nice peaceful retirement to grow my garden every year, watch my fruit trees grow. Not have to worry about leftist anarchists murdering me and other decent people. And I really don't want to see any of those really scary sick looking men pretending to be women. The Soviet Union planted the seeds in this country that are now growing into an attempt to make this country communist, and to do that all of us will have to be killed, or put into slave camps. Anyone who believes in God's love, freedom, forgiveness, who own firearms, who supported Trump, will be rounded up and shot/hung/gassed. We may have to start shooting back to survive. I do know that patriotic good decent people of all colors of skin and all religions, will end up having to fight back. We don't want to hurt or kill other people, but the way they are mocking Charlie's death, a civil war may be necessary. If so it needs to happen while Trump is still in office. If another leftist ever gets into the white house again in the next 30 years, they will be rounding up all Trump supporters, like they did to the innocent people who were jailed for the Jan 6 2021 so called "insurrection", which was BS, especially after a year earlier BLM riots burned whole sections of cities down. I don't like it, and I am really too old and disabled to participate/fight, but I can still build AR15's, and will do my part as an armorer, as long as I got a place to sit at my workbench.
To paraphrase: "...these are the people serving my latte, running my IV, prescribing meds,... how can I trust them... the fear is not rational"
Yes, _THE_FEAR_ IS_RATIONAL_. It is becoming increasingly common over the past 5 years or so (especially the past 2) in the US, and other Westernized countries, to come across cases (sometimes even document on video - evil can be so stupid) where service workers do things to people's food, or to a person's medical treatments and the like based on opposing political views.
In my younger days I used to just view "The Left" as either simply naive well-meaning folk/well-meaning & uniformed to just plain stupid, but still well-meaning (with a sprinkle of fully knowledgeable snakes that were truly a force of malevolence just because they liked chaos). Nowadays, the safe assumption toward lefties across-the-board is one of threat/danger.
Keep your head down and avoid these crazies. In the current climate it _is_ safer to make your coffee at home.
Its pure unadulterated evil. The availability of social media and weak leadership feeds its appetite for more. Just like a strung out junkie, evil craves more death, more destruction of social order, until everything is burnt to the ground. From the 1930's until the end of WWII 100 million people were killed. Evil is with us, walks amongst us if no one is brave enough to confront and defeat evil it will annihilate America like so many nations before us. Stop voting for weakness and incompetence, put down the screens and get in touch with reality. Don't be evils accomplice.
If I recall, this is eerily reminiscent of what took place in Weimer Germany PRIOR to its collapse. According to written accounts the delusions and moral decay seemed appropriately common of its time. A freightning thought perhaps a common thread.
I think you are wrong because one side is actually empirically correct on most issues while the other is mostly wrong. Reason, logic and truth are like water as long as we still have a free market and free society. Also who will fight for the left? Almost all cops and soldiers are not on the left and will stand down if the left take over in the elections and will join the right. And lastly, the right while not the violent ones, when taken to the limit where there are no more options will mop the floor with libs even with their tranny assassins.
You are correct! The decent people on the right, own so many more firearms and ammunition, and will have the backing of any company that manufacturers firearms and ammunition, along with the gun dealers, who will refuse to sell leftists guns. I was an FFL holder in the 1980s, and I refused to sell to a few individuals I just didn't like the looks of. But yes, if they keep this up, we will get fed up, and of course any personal attacks against right minded individuals should be met with swift and judicious deadly force.
It's a nice sentiment, and makes one feel good -- when you give legal power over deadly force to a small segment of the population, you want to feel that you can depend on them and that they will mostly do the right thing. Recent events over the past few years (and throughout humanity's long tortuous history) illustrates otherwise. Under strong leadership they can be guided in proper directions. But in general, gov thugs (no matter what you call them) are not your friends, no matter what political stripe they paint themselves with.
Giving anyone a monopoly on the use of force will always end badly. Government is not a good idea being done poorly. It is an evil idea being done thoroughly.

With a great deal of sadness I believe you are totally correct, as an outsider who has visited often, having family my mother now deceased lived in Las Vegas whilst my sister and her family still reside in Utah, thus I have been privileged to take the trip up many, many times having visited most states and your largest urban metropolis’s travelling coast to coast, often for obvious reasons dragging my family with me.
Initially I had found American’s to be polite, engaging, forthright without being rude, willing to exchange ideas, helpful, well mannered, considerate and likely to help, to be giving… over time however there was a perceptible shift and change quite noticeable especially with service, whilst there still existed many who took their roles seriously remaining and coming across with many of the aforementioned traits, I started to note an intolerance creep, a loss of patience, an unwillingness to engage, whereby doing the job they were employed to facilitate was seen not as an opportunity but rather an imposition a hindrance, a lacksadaisacal attitude persisted, in short what I realised over time as such became worse was that it was borne of a lack of ability to think, to process, essentially a mental laziness.
Subsequent trips saw a hardening of this attitude especially amongst a specific cohort of the population whereby a latent sense of entitlement commensurate a distinct intolerance coupled with an arrogance began to permeate … resulting in what can be described as an hostility…. this has become noticeably worse to the point whereby I determined that to save the grief the practitioners of such whom from previous experience with their overt hostility would be avoided, I mean it mattered not the sector, food, retail, government administration, I even incurred such on flights with hostesses be they male and or female, but I will add it was predominantly female who had this really bad attitude, as noted it was most noticeable with a specific group of the American populace.
Add to this the decline in your media coverage with a noticeable shift to what has become unbalanced, biased, prejudiced and at times of late an almost hysterical reporting on your T.V media channels, such that it has reached the point of being both, unbearable and unwatchable… As a result it was during a trip 2017/18 or thereabouts but during Trumps 1st dig, that we had had enough and decided that watching American T.V reporting was a waste of time and a risk to our mental well being… to this day and given we now get most U.S channels packaged into what would be the equal to a U.S cable subscription the policy adopted and agreed in this household is that no U.S, including now many U.K and E.U channels are ever viewed.. such is the vitriolic nature of the broadcasts and programming received, I mean the hate and rage broadcast is virtually palpable.. it is as ugly as it is unwanted, the only viewing now being news clips we are fed our news items and as viewed travelling, hence, it is hardly surprising that Americans have become conditioned, well conditioned or rather propagandised many would say brain washed as they have become inculcated by their media and those to whom they defer to bring them their news, becoming themselves much alike those whom they are listening and viewing their heads filled with the same talking points they oft repeat, though it can be said whilst oft repeated I came to find that when you engaged more directly the level of understanding or the context by which a response would be given underscored a complete lack of true understanding of the most basic facts, the responses given being shortened sound bites of that which they’d heard stated by MSM.. which as we have come to know, those of us who like to be well informed, that by the time a response in discussion descends to only being able to repeat a headline, then name calling, together a raised voice, that you are dealing with someone who is not only ill informed but equally is ignorant of depth of subject, in short brain lazy, not prepared to do what’s required to enable themselves to be sufficiently informed in order they can engage from a balanced perspective, yet dangerously they cling to such short circuited views as a gospel truth with missionary like zeal.
It would seem on the face of it that the as known CIA orchestrated Operation Mockingbird, that was ostensibly dropped in 1973 on order of the then Church Congressional Committee’s findings that had investigated the actions of the CIA and their agenda as was then known to usurp U.S Mainstream Media with the objective of both controlling the space and its content with the overarching objective of influencing and controlling completely public discourse and the narrative together the added focus of forming and shaping public and individual opinion, in essence the CIA wanted to achieve population group think, to capture thought.
The level of vitriol and hatred observed on visits, much of it now so overt, certainly bears testament to the fact that despite the Church Cttee ordering the cessation of Op Mocking Bird that despite confirmation it would end, that in reality the operation it could be opined simply went underground, that it became more subtly managed whilst still continuing with the result that it seems given the clearly visual decline, at least it is noticeable to those of us who have travelled up to the U.S reasonably frequently doing so with sufficient gap between visits to experience and observe very real population behavioural change that Op Mockingbird has truly succeeded.
We know for example that many of today’s media executives and hosts are engaged by Intelligence Agencies to promote a required narrative and talking points, indeed it can be said that the once need for subtlety no longer applies, such has been the success of the entire program that as with for example the WEF Globalist agenda, that no longer is kept secret, indeed similar to the WEF Globalist Agenda it seems todays Mainstream media are quite happy to openly champion and promote their agenda, with many broadcasters brazenly doing so ..
The descent into this abyss has been noticeable and when looking more closely at the events unfolding it is clear that between the financial, political and media involved that are responsible for driving the divisive agenda pervading the nation, doing so it seems gleefully, the bigger question must be why? Why is their so much animus unto a nation and its peoples from which for many involved in destabilising it, they have received and been given so much? How does that work? Is it emblematic of the fact such people have lost all empathy with their fellow man? Are they merely greedy, intolerant, jealous, suffering mental health issues, if so then whatever they suffer from… it must be serious, or are they just loathsome, vile, evil people? Has it gotten to the point that not only the nations moral compass has been lost but that of many individuals as well? Certainly that is a point that on the face of it can be reasonably argued. This descent into the abyss the result of intolerance, an intolerance I find consists of much that most sane, clear thinking people simply cannot under any circumstance agree with such as the ridiculous debates as to what constitutes a woman? The transgender LGBTQ+++ arguments with commensurate activism such as exposing toddlers to the gambit of what really ought be confined to consenting adults, of marching near naked in public, demanding use of terms that are not agreed to in other words forcing a culture onto those who do not buy into that which a small minority of the populace demand be accepted… the entire agenda one of forcing acceptance being emblematic of a gross intolerance, something peculiar to this group who demand acceptance and tolerance yet by their own actions and deeds they are the most intolerant… I seem to think we are living in an era of the revenge of those who believe they have been marginalised and prejudiced, that have been put down and had to endure… irrespective of flavour and oh how they seem to relish this new found ability to punish.
A sad indictment indeed given most I know who share similar perspectives have always subscribed to the live and let live mantra, just do not force your views and morals upon me and mine and we likewise won’t upon you… it is thus sad that this has been lost in the U.S resulting in much of the decline as has been experienced and witnessed… can the decline in quality of education be the catalyst, I certainly do not discount such, indeed in my mind much of the present can be laid at the door of education decline and compromised academics allowing personal agendas to dominate classroom content … to those of you residing there notwithstanding what seems dark times ahead, stay and be safe, don’t and never allow you or yours to be second…. just saying
I just want to thank you for your continued support… I note you always extend the hand of encouragement by supporting many of the opinions I submit so a genuine heartfelt thank you to you and all others who have graciously given the time to both read and then to extend a vote of thanks by submitting your support… it is so appreciated.
The best to you and yours.. wishing you the very best in health, be safe always …
This is the best summary and essay I’ve read yet on the assassination of Mr. Kirk, who was first and foremost a human being, a son, father and husband. I share your fears. My step-father was from Yugoslavia originally and I recall stories I heard as a child.

After reading Lau's article it reminded me of this scene from Dr. Zhivago... "all men will be judged politically"

Moral of the story, don't watch the MSM. I stopped over a decade ago after reading one of Doug Casey's articles.
I read yesterday an article on antiwar about a guy who helped propagandize America and he clearly lays out Israel's involvement.

Excellent write-up
Sadly, I don't think you are wrong. I wish you were. But I have seen parts of my previous life destroyed just because someone thinks they know better.
If I recall, this is eerily reminiscent of what took place in Weimer Germany PRIOR to its collapse. According to written accounts the delusions and moral decay seemed appropriately common of its time. A freightning thought perhaps a common thread.
This country has gone stark raving mad.
“Mainstream Christian values.” Not the the values of the mainstream Christians I know.
