Global Reactions to Charlie Kirk’s Assassination and the Weaponization of Law
Global Reactions to Charlie Kirk: Global comments on Charlie Kirk's assassination are no different than at home. Just wonder if the "trauma" people really look at the person and his intentions, or simply are reactionaries, anti-fascists, or the only good people? He was great (translate). The assassination of Charlie Kirk is an attack on the heart of democracy. Politicians and the mass media are partly to blame for his death. Even after his murder, they denigrate the conservative "free speech" champion as an extremist. Or a Nazi ? Your pick, but Charlie Kirk invited the likes of Bill Maher, Van Jones, and other left elitists. You can disagree on issues, but the main thing is to talk, or you can establish lists to attack and point fingers. Trump's return to power in January has electrified the far-right movement around the world , and it's feeling emboldened. The culture war being waged by Trump's supporters is resonating elsewhere. This helps explain why this murder, which took place in a very American context, is having repercussions abroad. Many around the world see no change on the right. They see a left moving into irrelevance , and Newsom, Pritzker, and Walz —well, Nazis and Gestapo, but tone it down, you mean whisper it?
Politics, Law, and Lawfare: Politics, law, revenge, or lawfare? Comey, Bolsonaro, Le Pen , AFD ( find the Nazi relation , as accused), Sarkozy , Trump. In the last couple of months, political moves have taken place that involve legal moves that can potentially all be classified under lawfare, with France, Germany, and Brazil the most obvious. While France and Brazil take a loaded approach to silence or jail presidential candidates, Germany may actually activate a constitutional change to keep the AFD off ballots and out of Parliament. That actually begs the question: how much is Europe still a democracy, especially in light of the EU, which is nothing now but an unelected dictatorship ? Compare all that to the media/left bias —the same tendencies in Europe.
The UN in Crisis: The UN in trouble , or who pays says. The UN, like the EU, once formed to unite the world, is more interested in converting a mostly democratic construct into a powerhouse and potentially ideology-driven world power, but with no money. This wavering support comes as the U.N. faces considerable organizational challenges. In recent decades, the U.N. has taken on a dizzying array of tasks and projects, many of which are out-of-date, overlap, or fail to achieve much. Although the U.N. does irreplaceable and lifesaving work, it is saddled with ever-proliferating mandates that distract and detract from those essential endeavors. As part of a strategic review for the institution's 80th birthday, Guterres commissioned an analysis of U.N. mandates, which was released in August. The study lays bare the organization's inefficiency and mission creep, making the case for radical streamlining. Well, you only will find out what works and what does not work if you cut the funding and let leadership know to clean house. President Trump has, like at home and with NATO, focused on existence and survival—focus on your mission and act responsibly. Some see it as authoritarian or tyrant (to deflect from the term Nazi). Compare Trump's approval to the EU leadership, with their appeasing to the left (ANTIFA). Antifa is a thug squad . Particularly explosive: Bolz refers to close connections between parts of German politics and Antifa. "Many top politicians here in Germany are proud to get out of this Antifa movement. Lars Klingbeil would be a super-prominent example," he explains. Interior Minister Nancy Faeser has also published for Antifa-related magazines. Policies to avoid a culture or political conflict but resort to authoritarian regimes?
The Future of Europe: Who runs the EU? Germany, France, and the UK are still in the woke culture and try with all powers to defend it. However, it appears that the MAGA movement is taking root in many of those countries, and we may see a potential landslide in coming elections to the leftist-branded Nazi regimes, away from the ANTIFA fascism. Perhaps moderates will prevail to save the West. But, much like in his speeches , there is order in the chaos. Trump intends his presidency to be deeply transformative, at home and abroad. He promised his supporters as much on the campaign trail: he would have to get rid of those who are destroying America or "[we] won't have a country anymore." Anyone standing in the way—Democrats or Europeans—will be confronted. The end point is thus clear, even if the route is full of detours.
