For Love & Justice

Charlie Kirk, Political Violence, Outrage Culture, & What it All Says About Us


Listen Later

In this episode of For Love & Justice, I’m unpacking not just the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, but the explosive reactions that followed. Why did this one act dominate the feeds while other tragedies barely registered? What does the rush to blame reveal about the culture we’ve built—where outrage is currency and projection replaces truth?

I talk about:

-The immediate politicization of Kirk’s death

-Why selective empathy fuels division

-How projection drives false narratives

-The role of social media and echo chambers in radicalization

-What it takes to resist outrage culture and build something better

I’m not here to dissect the crime itself—I’m here to look at what our reactions say about us right now, and why it matters for the future of our democracy.
