Christina Ricci posted on Instagram to remind everyone that she is a fascist. Her post, “Not to speak ill of the dead,” lists Charlie Kirk’s supposed thought crimes. What she seems to be saying is that it’s okay, he’s dead, and this is what he thinks.
The comments are even worse than the post. They’re all high-fiving her.
They believe everyone should think exactly like they do, and there are, in fact, thought crimes that, if punished, no one should be sad about it. That makes them fascists.
It started with cancel culture. Since no one really punished them for it, they just kept going, and now, here we are with an assassination that is just one step further: disappearing a thought criminal.
You might think, Wow, America just saw its first assassination, a public execution. That might be shocking to some, even traumatic. This man was there to witness it.
But to the fascists, if you do not believe what they believe, it was one more battle against their oppressors won. They freely call Trump supporters fascists and Nazis to justify all of this. But look closer, and you can see who the real fascists are.
Not all who made statements are fascists, at least they didn’t come right out and admit it like Ricci did. Jimmy Kimmel’s statement was borderline, but it was still within the realm of human decency:
Shockingly, Stephen Colbert also held his tongue and forced out some kind of message that wasn’t fascist:
And more from Newsweek:
People are apparently losing their jobs for celebrating Charlie Kirk’s death. On the one hand, I am opposed to cancel culture. I don’t think they should lose their jobs for having an opinion. On the other hand, I would not want someone like that working for me, so I kind of understand.
I was canceled because I made a joke about “White Dudes for Harris,” saying “white power” was back in style. For that, my entire career was wiped out because they thought I meant it. They misread what I was saying. If I’d made a serious comment that “white power was back,” then sure, I would deserve it. In the case of these monsters celebrating, they do mean it.
Fascism is everywhere now on the Left. It has overtaken Hollywood, which has mostly destroyed movies, but for every once in a while. No one can break the rules, or else. Christina Ricci fits right in.
I’m willing to bet that not one of the people who lost their jobs were upset over the cancellation of thousands of careers like yours. If a doctor or teacher cheers on murder, I want to be nowhere near them.
Twenty years ago this would have been the behavior of fringe fanatics. That it’s mainstream is terrifying.
I disagree: if you want to show that you're a ghoul and celebrate a person's murder, fine. But no organization, government or civilian, should want to have you on their payroll. There is a clear dividing line between decency and mental illness - and if you want to broadcast your mental illness, you should be shunned and unemployed.
