The death of Charlie Kirk was supposed to be the martyrdom that kicked off the Fourth Reich. Liberals were supposed to go to gulags. A golden age of traditional Christian values were supposed to flourish and cleanse our degenerate society. A conservative totalitarian utopia seemed just along the horizon.
Instead, everyone turned Charlie Kirk into a meme. The world is becoming Kirkified. Much like 9/11, his tragedy is a joke. If fascism is the aestheticization of politics, what is this then? The aestheticization of nihilism? 9/11 and Charlie Kirk have been depoliticized. Ideology has been replaced by performance art. All these images are meant to show just how much you don't care.
Brother Isaac is joined by Dorian (dankdeleuze) and Herman Wakefield (doomscroll_forever) to talk about how we've always been Charlie Kirk.
