There is a huge difference between civil unrest and political violence. Martin Luther King Jr’s assassination wasn’t political violence, it was civil unrest. Abe Lincoln’s death wasn’t political violence, it was civil unrest. I know civil unrest sounds like I’m down playing the deaths, however, historically political violence has been known as war. While war should be scarce, it’s historically done us good. Revolutionary war, the civil war, world war 2. Without political violence we would all be goose stepping and speaking German.

However trite civil unrest sounds, it’s vastly downright from war. Civil unrest is when you get a tough climate and tensions rise within. Sometimes the catalyst for war itself, however, that’s isn’t always true.

Charlie was a martyr for Christian values or conservatism, he was assassinated for ego and valuation. Charlie clearly wasn’t a Hitler in training and attempting a political overthrow, he was a father and a husband that wanted the best for his children.

However, he is a martyr for stupidity. Ivory tower dumb fucks we call millennial, with 80s yuppie entitlement issues that seem to think they in the midst of a war, like it’s the 1960s. To compare the two would be an egregiously ignorant thing. Blacks were oppressed in the 60s, along with other minorities. There isn’t any way to hide it. What do we have now but micro disagreement. I’ve said this in my 20s and I’ll repeat it in my 40s, you can’t compare civil rights to the gay marriage movement. Sammy Davis jr couldn’t hide his skin, and while I disagree with the idea that gays should have to be closeted, such was far from real repression. Real repression is when you’re a homosexual college student and you get dragged by the back of a truck for no reason like Matthew Shepherd.

Trans “rights” is not a real issue , they’re just trading one set of rights for another.

Gay marriage isn’t a real issue , because love is more important than people giving a fuck about you.

Blacks and other minorities have been integrated into society for 60 something years, they’re not repressed.

The palatines aren’t repressed, you’re anti Semitic and need to grow up.

What we do have a real issue with is the looming threat of a third world war among other real issues going

The only thing Charlie’s death did, was reveal a bigger overall narrative of mental health issues among the millennial cohort than ever before.

Let’s start focusing on real issues again. As a line from one of my favorite scenes says

“we can’t be consumed with our petty differences anymore.” -President Witmore Independence Day

My condolences to Charlie’s family, friends and fans.

Stay metal 🤘
