A man from Chicago, radicalized by hysterical Palestinian/radical left propaganda about Israel's "genocide," tracks and kills an Israeli couple on the eve of their becoming engaged.
A "pro-mortalist" man blows himself up and injures five people when he detonates his car in front of an in vitro fertilization clinic. He was radicalized by green ideology, the logical extension of which is that human beings are evil to the planet, and it's a moral imperative to reduce the number of people.
A man born into wealth takes it upon himself to murder an insurance executive because he believes he and others are being treated unfairly. Incredibly, he becomes instantly popular among left-wing celebrities while others cry for more blood. He was radicalized by people who see profit as evil and people doing their jobs as being unworthy of life.
All of the above examples are radicalized killers being inspired by the online left. The Palestinian radical left propaganda machine churns out daily stories about the deaths of Palestinian women and children, quoting from the "Gaza Ministry of Health," whose sole purpose is to obscure the truth of what happened previously in Gaza and why Israel's unrelenting attacks are necessary.
Elias Rodriguez, the man who shot two Israeli embassy staffers, Sarah Milgram and Yaron Lischinsky, outside Washington, D.C.'s Capitol Jewish Museum, claims he immediately took the side of the "oppressed" Palestinians after the Oct. 7, 2023, attack that killed 1,200 Israelis. This was no accident. Rodriguez had been primed by his exposure to radical left propaganda for years. His father was a member of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), one of the most radical-left unions in the United States.
Rodriquez was incapable of sifting through the internet noise and discerning what was really happening in Gaza. He will get no help from the supposedly "sane" left, which, if not outwardly approving of Rodriquez's act, agrees with the outcome.
Taylor Lorenz takes the concept of leftist approval of violence one step further by actually endorsing the idea of killing Donald Trump.
Despite the fact she's an attention whore, Lorenz's YouTube advocacy for killing Trump is chilling under any circumstance.
Why do I say that? Because right now, on YouTube, I can go listen to Taylor Lorenz rhapsodize for 30 minutes about online calls to murder Donald Trump. I’m not kidding, that isn’t dramatic hyperbole, and it is a terrifying example of how openly crazy the tone of the left’s discourse has become. Lorenz, “internet influencer” par excellence, opens by talking with obvious fascination about the newest TikTok trend: “Somebody needs to do it.” The “it,” she helpfully explains, is killing Trump — but she adds with a giggle that she prefers to use the term “unalive-ing Trump” because she doesn’t want YouTube to demonetize her account. Lovely.
Rodriguez and Luigi Mangione didn't have to make any great leaps to come up with a solution to the exaggerated problems described by the radical left online. Guy Edward Bartkus, the 25-year-old "anti-natalist," believes that "procreation is immoral because the inevitability of death and suffering outweighs the odds of happiness," according to an investigation by four New York Times reporters.
The mish-mash of ideologies that make up the anti-natalists, the "pro-mortalists," and the "efilists" ("life" spelled backward) have one thing in common: they were born from left-wing fantasies about the end of civilization being brought about by polluters, greedy businessmen, and capitalists.
We're going to die anyway, so why not do it now? “Let’s make the death thing happen sooner rather than later in life," Barkkus wrote in his "manifesto."
The concepts have bled into pop culture. Thanos, the supervillain in two films from Marvel’s “Avengers” franchise, wants to eradicate half of the universe’s living beings because there are “too many mouths to feed.” The number of Americans who don’t want kids is rising, with many young people saying they don’t want to hurt the environment.
A few variants are even more extreme. An offshoot known as “efilists” — that’s “life” spelled backward — argues that DNA should also be destroyed. Pro-mortalism, the position Bartkus staked out, is less well defined. But it suggests that birth should be followed as soon as possible by a quick, consensual death.
Where is the rest of the left who so eagerly called out "stochastic terrorism" when a conservative used the wrong pronoun, but when real people die, they are silent?
So where are the lengthy discussions about how the online left’s currently maximalist rhetoric of panic, siege, and destruction is creating the environment in which the left’s newest celebrity assassins have arisen? You won’t find them, for the disgusting reason that far too many on the left sympathize with the goals of people like Mangione and Rodriguez, if not their specific acts. They want more of this, at least if it helps apply pressure to get them to the outcome they desire. And so I predict they will get more of it. Much more.
The left says American politics is getting more violent. They keep bringing up January 6 as an example, but fail to note that there is far more violence inspired by online leftist hysterics like Lorenz, who have dropped all pretense of peaceful opposition and become violent insurrectionists.
