It's True...Young People Approve of Murder 1

Misgendering someone may be literally genocide, but actual murders can be a good thing, you know…

As more polls come out testing the public perception of the murder of Brian Thompson, the CEO of United Healthcare, it turns out that the young people who celebrate diversity, embrace love and compassion, and are determined to right the wrongs of Western Civilization are a bloodthirsty lot.

Most Americans are still a bit upset about the idea of shooting people in the back, but people between the ages of 18-29 are evenly split between those who still believe murdering people in cold blood is a bit of a sin and those who think it can be justified if you dislike the politics or job title of the murderee. 

Luigi Mangione has become a folk hero to many, which is about as big an indictment of our educational system and parenting skills as I can imagine. While parents cannot escape all the blame, I tend to think that our K-12 and especially our higher education system shoulder most of the blame. 

Why? Well, look at where all the Hamas supporters have set up their home base. Our colleges and universities teach the embrace of revolutionary violence, and hatred of Western Civilization, and professors are out there embracing Hamas and calling 10/7 “exhilarating.” I doubt that many family dinners include such propaganda.

Parents, take your kids to church, starting young, and don’t leave moral education to the public schools!

I wish I could say that this is a totally fringe phenomenon–and in the wider society, it is still quite unusual–but when 40% of young people tell a pollster that they approve of cold-blooded murder, it goes beyond the fringe and becomes a real thing to worry about. 

You may have noticed that one conversation that didn’t start up after Thompson’s murder was the always-popular gun control push on the left. That’s because they were too busy explaining why Thompson’s murder was an unfortunate but perfectly rational expression of outrage that United Healthcare didn’t approve every single insurance claim. 

Really, when you think about it, Thompson deserved it, right?

I am pretty sure each of us has a list of people who do evil deeds, including politicians, academics, gender-bending doctors, and school teachers bent on transing the kids. Abortion doctors are famously on a lot of pro-lifer’s lists of evildoers, but disapproval or murder keeps us from calling for their deaths.

We use our words, as we used to be taught in kindergarten before the Critical Theorists took over the schools. 

The nihilism of the left has crept into our cultural institutions and, in turn, has seeped into the souls of too many younger people. 

The moral rot has reached crisis levels, and it sickens me.
