With Charlie Kirk, ends the Freedom of Speech

Boy, I didn’t agree with him on so many arguments. But he was 31 — he had time to change his mind dozens of times.

I spent a whole evening thinking: Why do I feel like this is the end of an era?
Because fear now controls people.

No one will be as vocal or free-thinking anymore — because it might mean that some radical, driven by hate, will shoot you like a bird.
And the more passionate you are, the more likely it is that people will start hating you.
Brutal death can unite the strongest, but it only weakens the weak.

A death sentence for an uncomfortable opinion. It's dubbed by the today's creators: the cancel culture. It's doesn't have roots only in Ancient History but it has always been dominant in the co-existing, less civilized world. So are we becoming less civilized and our insticts more animalistic in the West?

With all due respect to totalitarian countries, America doesn’t deserve this tragic fate.

We are meant to inspire to be better, to spread democratic mission in the world. I say we, because Polish people know how sweet the democracy tastes after years of intruders.

And now it seems that the West is more inspired by the East, than the East by the West.

You’re probably thinking: “It was just one person killing another — it happens every day. Why be so dramatic?”
Because it makes schools and educational gatherings even more terrifying places to be.
School shootings have become a playground for the disturbed.
They’ve turned into a sophisticated political arena for expression.
And when radicalism enters the classroom, you know it’s time for a change.

Younger generations are beginning to fear learning and distrust the school system.
But what is knowledge if it has no space in public? If it’s not allowed to be shared?

Pluralism only matters when people are educated.
Will the quality of our discussions and debates increase if we raise generations of school dropouts?

The ideology Kirk promoted will grow stronger - but it will also be met with more non-verbal violence.
Its foundation demands more discussion, but what happens when those discussions become non-verbal?

We all know what MAGA supporters look like in the South.

A word of recommendation: If you haven’t already, watch the latest film Ground Zero with Robert De Niro. It’s a must-see in these turbulent times.

There will be plenty of protests, but the trauma will linger among Conservatives for a long time.
First it was Trump. Now Kirk. Who’s next?
We don’t want radical Conservatives to become even more radical. And the polarisation to discourage people even more and cut off more voices. There is never too much of opinions, but the language matters.

So maybe, let’s start with a simple solution: talk to one another — instead of unfriending each other on social media.

Maybe instead of obsessively defending the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution — which states:

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed”

We should focus on protecting freedom of speech. Vis a Vis, in real life.

I’ve always been astounded by the liberty gun owners enjoy in the U.S.
It feels like a declared war — and a profitable business — all under the facade of self-defense.

But self-defense isn’t necessary when the space itself is neutralized.

Rest in Peace, Charlie. The immortal voices will be heard.
