Recently, SDA regular ‘Kenji’ mentioned something that I had never even considered, but it’s very insightful and deserves much consideration:
. . . The wife and I continue to discuss the details (and missing details) of this horrible crime. And something NEW just occurred to me tonight. We are currently witnessing a COVID crime wave of weird, loner, 22 yo social misfits who essentially missed their Junior and Senior years of high school. These killers lost all human contact at crucial years in their social development. I read a comment that this 22yo murderer of Charlie Kirk has the emotional and intellectual development of a 14yo. Yep … perhaps we need to start looking at a COVID link to these trans/trans adjacent killers?
And given the two years of “Zoom HS” … I wonder just how legitimate this kid’s ’straight-A’ report card actually is? It makes me wonder whether he took his ACT exams on Zoom too? And if his ‘gamer community’ … probably the only ‘community’ this ‘shy loner’ has ever known… didn’t coach him on how to cheat the test. Because for all his ‘smarts’ and arrogance … he sure made himself easy to catch. Easier than many other recent murderers. I mean … seriously? … he just drove HOME after murdering one of the most famous political figures in America? Like he “got away with it”? Really? This is a top-tier student?
No … I believe we may have raised a gap-generation of gamers whose only contact with the real world and their peers is through a discord app and a 40” curved gaming screen. We are likely going to need a LOT more mental hospital beds than we’ve ever imagined.
I fear the Covid isolation merely accelerated what was already the increasing isolation of many mentally marginal individuals in a virtual sphere, where crime, injury and death are easily erased by simply rebooting.
BTW, grades awarded at all levels of education are increasingly suspect, all the way to the Ivy League. When speech is believed equivalent to violence (an absurd construct that was birthed in colleges and universities), confrontation over educational failure whatever the reason, is certainly not happening. Easier to give a D student an A, and even easier yet to do so in a virtual environment where the individual student has no tangible reality.
Yeah, from the linked essay you provided at Readers Tips:
“Charlie Kirk was shot because great forces spent decades reshaping social norms and institutions and creating vast cadres of Americans ready to do great violence to anyone they were led to believe was their enemy…. ”
“Like all complex and still unfurling stories, the account of how we got here is intricate and contains multitudes. But we must look at this straight in the face, and attack the problems head on.”
Here’s the essay:

In other words, the wheels were already in motion and the ridiculous covid measures may have acted as an accelerant.
That was brilliant.
That was spot on as the Brits would say. Brilliant analysis Kenji.
Interesting considering the shooter dropped out of college during the first semester.
In the US, there have been at least five mass shootings carried out by trans individuals. Given the number of these mass shootings there is a question that needs to be answered honestly.
Did the American Psychiatric Association (APA) set the table for these mass shooting when they changed the terminology in the ‘Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders’ (DSM-5) published in – 2013 – to reflect a more normalized understanding of gender identity with the introduction of “gender dysphoria”?
Further, could the combination of “gender dysphoria”, hormone replacement drug therapies and other stimuli such as ideologically toxic beliefs be contributing factors with respect to individuals committing acts of extreme violence?
” to reflect a more normalized understanding of gender identity with the introduction of “gender dysphoria”?”
The so-called ‘transsexuals’ still don’t believe that condition even exists…they just think they were “born into the wrong body”.
Jim … the APA has blood on its hands. And as an aside … the number of Doctors and Nurses who feel the security and comfort to publicly cheer Charlie’s death … should tell us more than we want to know about the medical profession.
But the APA is just following “orders” from the LGBTQueer-mutants who have hijacked our culture. The LG … mutants have been DEMANDING you “accept” their deviancies as “normal” for decades. In fact, if you disagree … you get canceled. I was canceled years ago from The Daily Mail for simply and politely questioning why a Lesbian kiss between celebrating US World Cup soccer players (in Canada) was more newsworthy than a hetero kiss between players and their husbands/boyfriends. No bad words. Just a question. Canceled.
And it’s not just “about me” … it’s been public policy to PUSH the LG…mutants to the front and center of our society and to “normalize” the abnormal. It was made “illegal” to deface rainbow flags painted on the pavement. It is demanded that rainbow flags fly from our government buildings and in our classrooms. Our TV programs are packed with LG…mutant actors and characters in utterly disproportionate numbers to increase the visibility of the Queers.
It’s not just the APA … it’s been across our entire culture and society.
And it was all intentional. Essentially Covid was part of a larger psychological warfare campaign waged by the CCP and DNC Deep State targeted mostly at, and meant to psychologically damage the most impressionable. Then, on top of that, another intentional effort by the CCP (hello TikTok!) and Deep State/DNC aligned Legacy Media to constantly paint all conservatives as Nazis/fascists and bingo – your most powerful ideological leaders/political opponents get conveniently eliminated by “loner” Gen Z psychopaths. And guess what? – your hands are clean!
Some additional thoughts: After the murder of the children in Minneapolis, I looked into the trans subculture, which was completely alien to me. It is the worst of anorexia and Goth combined. I was shocked by how insidious this contagion is, and the volume of child porn. That said, the opportunists and the predators who exploit this ideology get traction because contemporary culture endorses and promotes cluster B personality disorders: narcissism, histrionics, and neuroticism. We have a generation that is feminized and infantalized, and a sizeable subculture that struggles to discern fantasy from reality. There were a lot of forces that got us to this point, Covid exacerbated it. This is what I find frightening. I’m worried that there is no way to unwind this disaster, a perfect storm.
I don’t know how intelligent this kid is but IQ doesn’t necessarily track with social and emotional intelligence. He seemed to have lacked the capacity for second and third order thinking. Unless, he hated his parents and intended to make them pariahs.
L – Yes, the attempt to normalize psychopathology, led down that proverbial road to perdition. In this case paved with the idea that the empathy card trumps, the idea of what is healthy.
I watched those histrionics play out at a Sean Feucht concert. The attempt to disrupt the event using noise making devices imitated a toddler having a temper tantrum. I mentioned that to one of the police officers there. He laughed, seeing it in that light, too.
The histrionics in public began some years, ago and was labelled by adults as Drama Queen (syndrome) and laughed at. No one is laughing now, except the agents of Chaos, Where are the agents of Control e.i. agents 86 and 99. When you need them!
In Canada, the Liberal government made any physician, psychotherapist/councillor, not providing as the default protocol gender affirming care/ sexual orientation affirming care, open to criminal charges. Add in mandatory D.E.I. hiring, and the joke that “the lunatics are running the asylum” was a carefully planned agenda.
Here the “Opposition” parties did not allow even a single no vote from within their caucus. Like the Mass Formation Psychosis induced by the Pandemic, the extreme consequences have begun a Freedom Convoy in the minds of the normies. This forum is the medium once, again.
Or chimps, if you’ve ever seen video of a chimp attack mob.
Count yourself lucky, they weren’t flinging feces
Yo Kenji:
A star is born.
Congrats.
Don’t discount the jab either. It def. had depression effects in some people.
When I read Kenji’s comment yesterday morning, I thought, “Once again, Kenji nails it.” I immediately directed my husband to the comment and he agreed.
I have witnessed the behaviour of young kids (and their parents) who were “Covid prisoners” during the time when they should have been in school. Not pretty. I never gave much thought to the high school aged kids until I read Kenji’s comment. So much evil perpetrated on so many levels.
(BTW, Kenji, if you’re reading this, my husband has often said he’d love to have a beer with you. Maybe one day, when you’ve moved out of The Bay area. We have no desire to visit California.)
Tell your husband … “I’m buying”. And I can’t wait for the economic door to open up for my CALEXIT (get off your ass Jerry Powell). But I have no desire to visit Ontario … just kidding … I’m sure there are many wonderful areas of Ontario … just as most of the land area of CA is deep RED.
Good call Kenji.
After the war my dad amassed a libruary ,in his farmhouse, on The rise of the NAZI,Mass psychology and Child soldiers.
I had forgotten those books until I read your query.
What we have been doing to adolescents is textbook grooming to create murderous obedient thugs.
Child Soldiers.
Who better to shape into a paranoid delusional belief system than a child in puberty..
Puberty blockers..
So prolong their confusion,angst and frustration..
These children are so confused,that you can convince them of anything.
Is this what Charlie Kirk saw?
If so, I bow to his wisdom.
And now feel some understanding of why these fools had to murder him.
That long march through the institutions was real.
Vicious fools ,boasting of their own malice, are shaping young minds.
And now we reap what they have sown.
No wonder our Progressive Comrades want 15 and 16 year olds to vote.
Evil exists.
Our choice is war or banishment.
Northern Canada has lots of room for Death Cult Colonies.
Be they Progressives.
Climate Cultists.
Or the Demonically Possessed.
And I cannot think of a more fitting fate for The cult of Calamitous Climate…Think warm thoughts comrade..
With whom there is a huge overlap with the other groups..
Wasters and destroyers all seeking to destroy civil society to increase their power.
We have just seen their true nature,once again, we cannot live with them.
They want us dead and will act so.
This is what they say.
Believe them.
Sadism is in the process of being normalized, as we speak. Porn is considered to be desensitizing. The subculture often fetishizes brutal barbaric abuse, torment, and torture directed at children. Is that what happened to some of the disappeared children.
When some people are out of touch with reality, threads like this happen.
Right off the bat Kenji states that “We are currently witnessing a COVID crime wave “. But he has no way of knowing whether that’s the case or not and neither does anybody else hanging around this neighborhood.
There are trannies in Canada and most if not all Euro countries and they’ve also lived through the covid lockdown idiocy, some of which were even more onerous than in the US.
Yet there hasn’t been much in the way of psychotranny killing or even violence there.
I would suggest that the problem in the US is that the education system and most major institutions have been taken over and manned by leftist nutcases much more thoroughly than in other countries.
And, yes, all the social media garbage is available to all trannies everywhere.
Allow me to clarify the comment. The “COVID” crime wave I was referring to is the Trans-mutant crime wave we’ve been witnessing. Oh! You say … as did Charlie’s last questioner … there have ONLY been 5 transmutant “mass shootings”.
It’s funny that the defenders of LGBTQueer-mutantcy like to downplay those numbers … yet utterly ignore the TIMING of those mutant-murders. They’re ALL very recent. post-COVID lockdown, masking, and forced medication … recent. And Charlie was JUST beginning to explain the statistical fallacy of comparing those apparently small numbers as apples and oranges, by somehow lumping all statistics into one BIG basket of unrelated causes.
And for those who might claim I have no DATA to prove my point? You’re right. I’m not a statistician… I’m an “observer” … which is the beginning stage of Analysis. No one analyzes without first observing.
Show me where I said: “Oh! You say … as did Charlie’s last questioner … there have ONLY been 5 transmutant “mass shootings”.
You’re a bloody liar.
My whole comment was about trannies, but we already know you lack reader comprehension.
You aren’t an observer, but someone who applies simplistic explanations for complex phenomina.
Try reading the essay I linked to above.
“You say” … is the ‘Royal’ “you say”. It was NOT directed at you. But as usual … you’re making it all about you.
There is no such thing as a “Royal you say”.
OK … how about “you-all” … or “youze”? Even when I clarify my INTENT … you cling to your victimhood. I can’t help you with that. Good luck.
Such a pile of rationalizing BS. You clarify nothing. I cling to my honor against liars like you, and I don’t let slurs slide.
Come now, if you can’t let slurs slide you’ll never amount to much as a rapper. Wasn’t it Maestro Fresh Wes who advised, “Let your back slur slide”? My memory is a bit vague on that.
