Yeah, I'm scared about what it would be like to attend some of the talks I've been to on campus now. Kinda like Oct7, it seems like an event that is extremely likely to cause an echo and I don't like the direction that echo is gonna come from and how many more guns that side has.
CW: Doomerism
I think we will definitely see the murder of a pro-Palestine speaker, or similar, on a college campus before the year is out. The only question is where and how many times. Kirk had a large fan base of nazis who are now out for blood.You are overestimating how big left wing voices are in the country and also overestimating how big kirk is
The only pro Palestine voice that is big and seen as scary "Left" is Hasan and hasan isn't even that well known
I don’t think it will happen to somebody big, necessarily. Nazis prefer to go for targets such as children and students.
Right after October 7 the university near where I live had a small table set up by the local SJP chapter and the local media immediately went into a hysterical rage with the end result being them getting ganged up by zionists making death and bomb threats and vile sexual comments with impunity.
Kirk is getting front page obituaries on every national news outlet, fawning adoration from every politician including the UK Prime Minister, a state-mandated mourning period and maybe even a state funeral.
When his nazi fans hear on the local news that the woke leftists are hosting an event at the local university, that could very well send them over the edge. And these are the types that have been fantasizing about murdering protesters in general well before Kirk was fired from life. Now they are looking to avenge his death, and while the pro-Palestine “Kirk” might be Hasan, they will probably go after softer targets, like university students they suspect of being pro-Palestine. Trump & Co are already fanning the flames of stochastic terrorism in this instance.
In my opinion, if Trump getting pretend arrested is enough for one of his fanboys to try to shoot up FBI HQ, I think another one of their idols biting the dust is more than enough to get them to lash out at much more vulnerable targets.
I say the target will be pro-Palestinian student organizations not because I think they are powerful but because in the campus culture war context, they are seen as occupying the opposite space to the Charlie Kirk/TPUSA types
I agree with parts of this but to me the only way ,anyone would try to avenge this is to kill someone like Hasan since he is the only figure that could be classified as what kirk was for "the left"
if the people become full on nazis from this then I think most targets will end up being jews and immigrants
I do agree a lot of kids are gonna get killed tho
