Below, X.com account @ShipWreck has posted two brief video clips, approximately 4 minutes in combined length, from a student of US History posting on TikTok regarding the public's responses to the murder of Charlie Kirk. Basically, she's analyzing the public response for clues which, historically, would indicate the direction the country is moving.

It looks like the original Part 1 and Part 2 video clips were created by @thathingIdo on TikTok. TRANSCRIPT BELOW THE IMAGE.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. 

I've had too much education and too much training to ever see historical events the same way other people do. 

I'm a PHd student of American History maintaining a 4.0. I'm not watching the event; I'm watching the public. 

I'm watching the peoples' reaction to the event because that's going to determine what happens next. Here's the pattern I've observed. 

The initial response to the assassination of Charlie Kirk was celebration in the streets. There were people standing on street corners holding signs. There were individuals who were coming all over Social Media cheering, clapping. They were dancing with disco party lights in the background.

It was a national celebration that someone had been assassinated. Historically speaking, national celebrations of the assassination of political rivals does not go well. 
Historically speaking, it doesn't go well. 

And very shortly after that, within an hour, the dominating discussion became a condemnation of those celebrations, with many people feeling like something has flipped.

Some fuse has been lit. Nobody knows what's coming. Nobody knows what's happened. There's a feeling that something has turned. 

As somebody who has studied history, you're right; something has been lit. Nobody knows what it's attached to yet. 

Nobody knows where this is going to go, but something has been lit as it always does when you have national celebrations of political assassinations. 

Over the next several days, even weeks, I will be looking for additional patterns to emerge, because there are patterns that you can follow. There are things that pop up that let you know just what exactly is coming. 

And that's what I am going to be watching for. The rollback and the illogical fallacy arguments have already begun from the celebrators and the individuals who supported their celebrations.

But even with that rollback, it's not enough to stop the momentum that has started on the side of those who find the celebrations abhorrent. 

You should be paying attention, because the next few days are going to be really interesting. 

PART 2 (TikTok video) 1:42 https://x.com/shipwreckshow/status/1966248255618179173/video/2

What I'm watching right now is to see where we are in the arc of escalation. 

Interestingly there's a pattern in history where there's a 20 to 30 year buildup of grievance before there ends up being a major revolution or an assassination. In this country we've had 20 to 30 years of grievance. 

We had children raised up under the grievances of their parents, and now they have what's called an 'inherited grievance.' 

Where their parents will tolerate the injustice that they see, the children will not tolerate it, and they are more likely to engage in much more physical and violent manners to be able to change the world because the grievance is their entire life. It becomes their identity.

 Those who initially celebrated the assassination have not only clawed back their initial celebration, but they are also de-legitimizing the event itself. 

This is because a counter-shift has occurred. A targeted group is no longer tolerating, and is making a shift to retaliate. 

The group that was celebrating, the initing group, is now trying to de-escalate the situation by drawing the conversation back to where the initial political grounds used to be, but the ground has shifted; it doesn't exist anymore. 

So what's happening now, in this particular arc, is we're looking at a legitimacy crisis, and I am specifically checking to see whether or not the initiating group, the ones who celebrated, are able to establish legitimacy again. 

If they can survive, if they can find their footing again, this event will be sanitized to be able to preserve them long-term. 

And if they can't, this will accelerate.

Over the next several days, even weeks, I will be looking for additional patterns to emerge, because there are patterns that you can follow. There are things that pop up that let you know just what exactly is coming.

I can tell you the pattern that will emerge, or more to the point, the broken pattern that must emerge:

The end of the Democrat Party's "both sides do it" excuse when their side acts up.

Gov. Spencer Cox (UT) put it succinctly:

I want you to look at how Utahns reacted the last two nights. There was no rioting. There was no looting. There were no cars set on fire. There’s no violence. There were vigils and prayers and people coming together to share the humanity...

Over the past few days I've been spam posting the article from July about House Democrats concerns that their base is demanding that they get "bloody", "get shot", "break norms", “break the rules, fight dirty”, and so on.

While expressing concerns at this ramp-up of violent expectations, Democrat leaders have not owned up to the threats coming from their left flank. Instead, they try to minimize it as "both sides" doing it. This is absurd, and they know it.

The pattern will either be:

1. Democrats embracing the violence (Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
2. Democrat unequivocal rejection of violence (???).

Alternative #1 is already starting to happen. The Democrat left-wing that is calling the right "fascists" are resorting to fascism themselves to fight perceived fascism. It's projecting, but it's what they do.

Alternative #2 will require Democrats to acknowledge their left flank and reject its tactics without hedging with the "both sides do it" tag. If they fall back on their trope, all they will do is give their left flank a "wink-wink-non-nod" to ignore their public outrage and keep doing what they're doing.

So all eyes must be on Democrat leadership: Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Hakeem Jeffries, Kamala Harris, even Joe Biden. If they fail to step up and condemn the violence without equivocating, maybe that's the signal that there can be change. If they keep repeating the "both sides" canard, things will only get worse for the Democrats.

So what's happening now, in this particular arc, is we're looking at a legitimacy crisis, and I am specifically checking to see whether or not the initiating group, the ones who celebrated, are able to establish legitimacy again.

War Room 'news packets' went out to the usual gullible 'journalists to 'build the case against Charlie'. The early ones pretend the issue is 'political violence' rather than left wing violence. Each useful idiot 'journalist will assist in building that case. They don't know the whole picture and each won't know their unique role in creating a lie. Think of the 'rent a mob' idiots who burned down cities not knowing 'organizers' knew human nature down to the smallest details - like adding pallets of bricks and costumes and 'protest' signs that looked homemade.

Commies and Soros types know how to gin up hate and violence. It's what they do to destabilize the country. They use 'journalists' to do their part building a cases And each major individual 'journalist' gets one piece of the case to push... But something is happening... some of the intellecutals aree feeling uneasy. Like at the edges of their minds they know something isn't adding up. They're not quite as ready as usual to be played for the fools they are... And we see some of them pausing... George Floyd a martyr for democrats was a career criminal and drug addicte who caused over 200 riots, lootings and horrors over a peeriod of two years... George Floyd was the commies' hero.

Charlie Kirk was a decent Church-going father and husband who spoke on college campuses where freedom of speech had been shut down years ago. These are defining men and the parties that revere them defined themselves a few days ago.

Conservatives are sick of being targeted. We can't put bumper stickers on our cars because 'liberals' will key our cars. We can't speak out of 'liberals' will burn down dealerships - as Elon Musk learned... And good men like Charlie Kirk didn't let his children's faces be shown in photographs because he knew lift wing commie filth of the democrat party would try to target and kill his children if they knew what they looked like.

So eff you democrats - we don't want to 'unite' with you...it's only BS for your evil ones to make it look like YOU are now 'one the side of good' with your crap. YOU AREN'T.

CNN's Smerconish got his 'meme' accomplished - which is it's 'political violence' and it's all the same on all sides and the elites and 'adults' have to stand together againt the people'. That's bullship' and a part of him knows. Then he got his money quote from a friend of Charlies... nice tough War Room News Packet thugs... We'll see that one tomorrow.

And gun violence? Guns don't jump up off the table and kill - when they do evil it's because they're in the hands of criminals or evil ones like the child and Charlie killers. "Political violence is the same - LOOK at the 'organizers' behind the violence. Someone - some group is ginning it up... and it's on the left..

As a conservative family in a liberal location that is true with our kids. Some more than others. Our boy (the oldest) was able to take things in stride. The two girls, even back in grade school, were much more adamant in their conversations with their classmates.

I disagree. I've spent a lot of time transcribing spoken interviews and have found that people speak in ways which violate rules for composition and grammar (e.g., sentence fragments, repetition etc.) The spoken word is given additional meaning via facial expression, volume and intonation etc. When reading video transcripts later, without those visual means to emphasize what might be overlooked, the text version seem monotonous and unthinking. I found her video presentation clear, insightful and compelling.

[Frank Drebin]

The Democrat party does not survive what’s coming. Neither do their ‘fringe’ elements, which actually aren’t fringe at all now but rather represent the main base of their reprehensible group.

[madison10]

To h311 with unity...at least for a few days. I do not want to talk to. or hear from, any of the Left/New Commies.

[Farmerbob]

Could you provide a link? I can’t find anything on “econchickintelchick”.

Thanks in advance.

That’s a beautiful sight.

“Democrat left-wing that is calling the right “fascists” are resorting to fascism themselves to fight perceived fascism.”

People around here like to use the word “fascist” a lot.

In what respect do you believe the Democratic Left is acting according to fascist principles?

I don’t do Tic Toc, but I’d be interested in what she says over the next couple of weeks.

When they focus on Tyler Robinson, it’s because they’re trying to take the focus off the others involved.

🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨

Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin Tyler Robinson lived with his transgender partner.

The individual is a biological male transitioning into a make-believe female.

He is fully cooperating with the FBI.

REPORT: @BrookeSingman— Breanna Morello (@BreannaMorello) September 13, 2025

[grey_whiskers]

Stephen King (weirdo famous author) had to publicly apologize, admit he was wrong, and retract his statement the Charlie Kirk called for the stoning of gays.

In less than 24 hours.

THAT has never happened before.

[grey_whiskers]

Sod Off, Infiltrator Troll.

Nobody’s buying your bullsh*t anymore.

[grey_whiskers]

Most of the school shooters were also trannies.

The left took their own side's literal guilt for mass murder, transferred it to an opponent who was factually innocent and completely uninvolved, and killed him for it.

They then used his death to congratulate themselves, and use his premeditated assassination in public without warning in front of his children, as an excuse to literally call for the murders of more of their political opponents.

[Openurmind]

Name a corresponding historical example in two words...

Brown Shirts.

[Karoo]

Then the movement is growing.

Rush always said the movements last if they are organic. I’ve been watching and I now believe that this movement is organic.

God bless

“”The hypocrisy of the left is as evident as a cat covering crap on linoleum!””

LOL! That’s some pretty funny imagery right there.

[grey_whiskers]

Fusion of business and state.

And the revolving door between FDA, CDC, and the drug companies.

Take the quotes below, and ask any Antifa member if they agree with them.

Science is now in the process of destroying religious dogma. The dogma of the divine creation is recognized as absurd. With each new discovery of chemistry, physics, biology, the anthropological sciences, of the practical application of sound principles, dogma collapses. It is a part of that old edifice of religion which crumbles and falls in ruins. The faculty by which man is differentiated from the lower animals is his reasoning power. But the devout believer renounces reason, refuses to explain the things which surround him, the innumerable natural phenomena, because his religious faith is enough for him. The brain loses the habit of thinking; and this religious sottishness hurls mankind back into animalism.

The rapacious property-owning American [...] admits no limits, possesses no scruples and does not share the fears and the cowardice of our bourgeoisie. [They are] violent, absolute criminal. When they feel the need, they simply stain their hands with proletarian blood. They lack any human sense. They are only interested in exploitation. We want an extraordinary heavy taxation, with a progressive character, on capital, that will represent an authentic partial expropriation of all wealth; seizures of all assets of religious congregations and suppression of all the ecclesiastic [...] revenues, in what constitutes an enormous deficit of the nation and a privilege for a minority; revisions of all contracts made by the war ministers and seizure of 85% of all war profits.

To-day we can affirm that the capitalistic method of production is out of date. So is the doctrine of laissez-faire, the theoretical basis of capitalism… To-day we are taking a new and decisive step in the path of revolution. A revolution, in order to be great, must be a social revolution. Silence is the only answer you should give to the fools. Where ignorance speaks, intelligence should not give [advice]. We do not argue with those who disagree with us, we destroy them.

Marx was the greatest of all theorists of socialism. [Marx] had a profound critical intelligence and was in some sense even a prophet.

These are all from Benito Mussolini. The head of the Fascist Party in Italy. You know, the guy who allied with Hitler in World War 2?
