"Want to float my meta take on why Kirk murder feels different conclusive. This is more a take for the libs because its something I think the MAGA populists already clearly understand: The lib consensus iterated broadly with marginal differentiation is that while maybe Kirk *didnt deserve it* he was a Bad Person who Spread Hate. The proper inference from this sentiment is that the lib permission-structure consensus-manufacturing apparatus is exhausted if not broken and is terrified and no longer capable of tolerating oppositional free speech. Just look at Kirk: he was an affable slightly goofy"

"The prestige-generating apparatus needs something of value for substrate. Libs thought that any slop they passed through would be fine but thats been a failure and now all the mechanisms that signal achievement and status feel greatly diminished. Its very dysfunctional - anything awarded status has to meet strict ideological standards but no one thinks that stuff is good so the mechanisms for assigning prestige are misfiring and becoming completely undone. On the topic and since it is top of mind here is a giant wall of text about the absence of a prestige economy on the right. This part of"

"I dont think conservatives are scandalized by this. Nothings shocking or transgressive at this point. Its more that conservatives look down on it: sexualized behavior should be private or semi private (in a nightclub) and doing these things publicly is low class.

"One reason politics has become so important especially among libs is that with the collapse of social institutions and cultural life and with the quality of humanities education deteriorating precipitously character and morality have become inscrutable.
