@FPWellman Army vet here. Women do not belong in combat arms. We have known this for basically all of human history. The exceptions are exactly that. Being charitable, allow them to meet the same standards as their male counterparts. If men and women are exactly the same, this should be no-
People ask me why I'm getting so angry and affected about the assassination of Charlie Kirk and why I'm taking it so personally.
Before I answer I need to correct them. I'm not angry. I'm enraged.
A part from the obvious reason we all share, indignation towards murder. Compassion towards his suffering family.
For me there is one more reason.
Charlie Kirk is me. He... was... me.
I've been called a fascist by people and YouTubers in the "tolerant" (radical) left. I've been called a Nazi by people and YouTubers in the "tolerant" (radical) left.
They made hit piece videos about me. They called me a bigot. A transphobe. A racist. A homophobe. A White supremacist.
All insults me and him shared.
And the crazy thing is that we shared them while we believed different things on several matters!
That is because to the radical left, these words ALL have the exact same meaning.
"You dared to disagree with my cult".
Charlie and I were different men, sharing some ideals and not sharing others, but one thing we did share and that is the same enemies.
So when I saw that video of him being shot. Of his head being pushed back. Of liters of blood being spilled as his body went limp while still holding his microphone, I saw myself.
When I see his wife in front of his coffin I see my wife.
When I see his father asking to give him back his son I see my father.
It was a mirror and it opened my eyes. And it turned on a fire of rage I never knew I had in me.
Charlie Kirk was me.
He was you. He was everyone of us who dared to disagree with the cult.
Charlie Kirk was me.
among my fellow conservatives. The common sentiment is that the moderate position died with Kirk. I hope escalation can be avoided. I do not expect that it will be. Stay vigilant, stay calm, stay strapped, and perhaps more than ever, pray. God help us all.
A lot has happened this week, and many people are outraged, afraid, disgusted, or most of all, angry. I count myself a friend of a number of people, from wildly differing points of the political spectrum, including being wholly apolitical. I feel that maybe the biggest event-
Conservatives as a whole recognize this, and see the current public condemnation from Democrat politicians and pundits as simply CYA.
I do not hope for a violent response, even if a part of me feels it would be deserved in certain cases. I simply state what I have observed-

@HLC_actual You like to talk about how we be building shit, yeah? Looks like one of our friends in the land of beans on toast has been a busy little bee. Check it out! Might get a kick out of how thorough he's being, too. https://t.co/IFhFd8HqOj
