One of the best dialogues in any Hollywood movie is from Tombstone. In a conversation with his friend Doc Holiday, Wyatt Earp is trying to make sense of what makes Ringo, the main antagonist, tick.
Wyatt: “What makes a man like Ringo do the things he does?”
Doc: “A man like Ringo got a great empty hole right through the middle of him. He can never kill enough or steal enough or inflict enough pain to ever fill it.”
Wyatt: “What does he need?”
Doc: “Revenge.”
Wyatt: “For what?”
Doc: “Being born.”
Now, I could go on quoting the movie Tombstone until you jammed icepicks into your ears to end your suffering, but in the interests of brevity, I’ll keep it to this one scene. I’ve been thinking of this scene ever since Charlie Kirk was assassinated. It’s a precursor to Alfred Pennyworth’s “some men just want to watch the world burn” quote.

Good article. Thanks.
Excellent.
Ever the critic: All those words and no mention of Godlessness. Maybe the writer thought it goes without saying as much. I don’t know. Perhaps he felt his reach would be bigger without invoking religion for those who object to it.
Otherwise, excellent piece.
One question: What do we do about it?
Stephen Miller’s eulogy of Charlie Kirk paralleled this writer’s admonition and accusations:
“We are the storm.
Our lineage and our legacy hails back to Athens, to Rome, to Philadelphia, to Monticello. Our ancestors built the cities. They produced the art and architecture. They built the industry, pulling us out of the caves and the darkness into the light.
We built the world that we inhabit now, generation by generation, and we will defend this world.
You have nothing. You are nothing. You are wickedness, you are jealousy, you are envy, you are hatred. You are nothing. You can build nothing. You can produce nothing. You can create nothing. We are the ones who build. We are the ones who create. We are the ones who lift up humanity.
You have no idea the dragon you have awakened. The MAGA movement will strive to save this civilization, to save the West, to save this republic, because our children are strong, and our grandchildren will be strong, and our children’s children’s children will be strong. And what will you leave behind? Nothing, nothing.”
The storm:

So … the Left is angry that no one cared enough about them to abort them?
^^^^^ So we should care enough to end their misery?
^^^^ Why don’t they self abort, and make everyone happy. At least make me happy.
