  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Group labeled TPUSA 'anti-government extremist' group in May

In the months leading up to the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, the far-left civil rights organization Southern Poverty Law Center sharply criticized the organization and Kirk as promoters of "hard right" ideologies, including white supremacy and Christian nationalism.

Kirk, 31, was fatally shot on Wednesday while hosting a TPUSA event on campus at Utah Valley University in Orem. During a press briefing late Wednesday, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox described the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk as a "political assassination." President Donald Trump said Friday morning that a suspect, a man identified as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson of Utah, has been arrested.

In the wake of the shooting, questions emerged on social media about what role civil rights activist groups like the SPLC and others played in depicting Kirk and TPUSA as a threat to public safety.

I don't think this is a surprise. This was being predicted for years. The signs were there but no one really took them seriously. Especially when the power in control was part of allowing this to fester and cultivate.

But similar signs were mentioned by commentators who had specialised in cultural wars like in Ireland and the sectarian violence that culminated in physical violence and assassinations.

I think just as this ideology has allowed unchecked extremists into free nations such as Islamists. It has at the same time grown a culture of homegrown terror from the same ideology that will now cause hell for the near future. Making everyone live in fear. Especially those who aligned with Kirks beliefs.

I think Kirks assination has woken people up to this reality. That they have been fooled and the reality is there is no promised DEI utopia. Its actually hell on earth.

Hopefully we can turn this into something positive and come together. Realise we are all the same and not here for long on this planet and theres much bigger problems we can work together to make things better.
