Chapter 1: What led to the viral reaction about Charlie Kirk's death?
He once celebrated the death of Charlie Kirk. Now he's going super viral for having changed his mind. And as a former leftist myself, I've been on a similar journey. Let's talk about it. Guys, before we get into today's video, please like and subscribe. Today we're going to be doing a bit of a blind reaction.
Chapter 2: How did the speaker relate to the former leftist's journey?
I've been seeing this video circulating online and I'm thinking this is going to be my bread and butter as a former leftist. Apparently this is a video of a guy who at first celebrated the death of Charlie Kirk and now through a series of events has come to realize that he was wrong and he's admitting that. So this is what I love to see.
And I think there's a lot of room for people to go on this journey, especially after what we saw in the wake of Charlie Kirk's death. I spoke about it at length on this channel. I have many a video on the left's response to it. And what a devastating thing to see, the celebration of such a heinous assassination of somebody who was just trying to have conversation.
So with that being said, I'm going to put my former leftist hat on and watch this video.
I'm actually glad that Charlie Kirk was murdered, but probably not for the reason you think. I was at work when I first found out. A fellow employee had wandered up to me, cell phone in hand, and asked, Did you hear that Charlie Kirk just got assassinated? And I, without even a moment's hesitation, responded, Good! F*** that Nazi white supremacist piece of s***!
I had never before witnessed such a perfectly blended expression of disgust, disappointment, sadness, and surprise all through the window of another man's eyes or experience a silence so uncomfortable as the one that followed, and although that look on his face now haunts me more and more with each passing day, at the time, it only made me distrustful and upset, but
Little did I know that the sentence which followed would end up becoming the most profoundly psychologically impactful question that I've ever been confronted with. Have you ever actually watched any of his debates?
Okay, let's go ahead and pause there. This is so interesting to me. I can see so much of my former self in what he is describing. I don't know that I was the type of leftist that would have outright celebrated Charlie Crook's death or said something to that effect about his death, but I certainly would have been in the same ecosystem as somebody who was unbothered.
by the assassination of Charlie Kirk, had it happened at the time I was a leftist. And that's something that you really do have to grapple with. And he's talking about that. The fact that his coworker reacted with such disgust and at the time that didn't bother him, but now the thought of that haunts him.
And I think a lot about who I was when I was a member of the woke left and how much really awful energy I had within myself and put out into the world. And it is an embarrassing thing to think about. It is something that sits with you of, oh my gosh, how many interactions could have gone so much better

Chapter 3: What was the profound question that changed the guest's perspective?
And what it does is it infiltrates every single part of your existence. You're constantly thinking about it. You're constantly judging other people based off of, I don't know, their skin color, their gender, their sexuality, the amount of privilege they have, whether or not they're an oppressor. And even deeper than that, it infiltrates your familial relationships.
And you can end up cutting people off from your life because of political disagreement that should have never been cut out of your life in the first place. And I've seen this happen to so many people. In fact, it is, I think, one of the tenants of woke leftism to distance yourself from people who disagree with you politically.
politically because they're toxic, cut them off, go no contact, don't go to Thanksgiving or Christmas. These people do not deserve your time, your emotional labor. And I think he fell victim to that with his father. And he says, he supported me unconditionally. He loved me unconditionally my entire life. And I still hadn't spoken to him in years. Wow, that's a weight.
And luckily he got that weight, lifted off himself, because a lot of people don't get to that part in the journey. They get so stuck in their ideology that it just never happens. So maybe that's what he's talking about when he says, I'm actually glad Charlie Kirk died and not in the way that he was before with that coworker, but in the way that it's allowed him to reconnect. with his father.
That's a super, super powerful thing. And again, a powerful thing to admit, and we can be mad that he had the reaction in the first place. And there's room to discuss that.

Chapter 4: How does the speaker reflect on their past beliefs?
But he's coming forward and saying, you know what, I'm laying the weapons down, I was wrong. And this guy's actually had a profound positive impact on my life, even though I couldn't give him a positive response, or even a neutral response in death. Okay, let's keep
watching and it was a never-ending sleepless night coming to terms with the fact that literally every single thing i thought i hated about the right the bigotry stupidity violence vitriol and narrow-mindedness was actually just an outward projection of hatred toward my own self charlie kirk is my hero he opened my eyes to the cruel and manipulative nature of our political media brought my family back together and taught me how to love again and to anyone who takes issue or offense with that i'm going to do exactly what he would have done
and challenge you to answer a simple, honest, and straightforward question. Have you ever actually watched any of his debates?
Woo! wow wow wow and wow yeah this is just it's a home run for me and i like how he ends the video by talking about the very thing that that broke through for him and passing that on to other people have you ever watched any of his debates it's just one of those questions that if you are a leftist who's carrying a bunch of hate like this one day you'll turn back around hopefully
And you'll remember that this question was asked to you, even if you're not ready to hear it in the moment, even if you weren't ready to hear it in this video right now. I remember in being a leftist carrying so much judgment, hatred, all of these awful things with me all the time.
And of course, you can't really go back and think through all the times in which that's impacted your relationships, or you had an awful reaction to something somebody said, or you just started a conversation on the wrong foot because of all these preconceived notions that you have, but you know that it happened.
And the most powerful thing you can do, I think after realizing that you were wrong is just to admit it, humble yourself, and also give yourself grace at the same time that this is happening to a lot of other people. And a lot of other people are not in the same part of the journey as you are. And being able to admit it in the first place is amazing.
really great and it's gonna be a weight lifted for you in the long run, the further you journey down that road. I think the Charlie Kirk assassination showed some of the ugliest sides of the political left, but it also woke up so many people who were in the throes of woke leftism, saw such a radical response to somebody's assassination and realized this is not a room that I wanna be in.
And I years earlier had had That experience for myself, this moment of, whoa, this is not a room I want to be in. And so many people from here on out are going to have experiences like that. And this, watching this video might be that moment for so many of, whoa, this is not the room I want to be in. So shout out to this guy for being honest and straightforward about what he experienced.
