Toxic rhetoric, including calls for 'civil war' and retribution from the right, proliferates after Charlie Kirk killing [barf alert]
NBC News ^ | 9/12/25 | David Ingram

Posted on 09/13/2025 10:22:42 AM PDT by Blood of Tyrants

A stew of hypertoxic rhetoric has surged through social media and American discourse after the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, inflaming a political environment that was already deeply polarized.

The most concerning messages, experts told NBC News, are proclamations from far-right activists, Republican politicians and conservative influencers about a coming civil war and the need for retribution or payback against the left for Kirk’s killing. The phrase “civil war” has spiked on social media and in Google searches.

“The Left is the party of murder,” Elon Musk posted on X to his 226 million followers, shortly after the shooting and before the gunman’s identity was known. He separately posted, “If they won’t leave us in peace, then our choice is fight or die,” without saying who “they” were.

NOW they notice "toxic rhetoric". Leftists politicians and university professors and leftist organizations have been openly calling for the murder of conservatives for years yet not a peep from the leftist media.

Disgusting.

The author of “What Is to Be Done Part II: The Red Line“, outlines our dilemma clearly:

“The United States Government must be destroyed. This should be our foremost goal.
It cannot be negotiated with. It cannot be reformed. It cannot be remade. It has no right to exist, nor should it. It must be destroyed, root and stem, and the earth must be salted underneath it to ensure it can never return. This government, and the system which it perpetuates on this earth, is a machine that exists to kill and poison. It converts our blood and suffering into endless profits for a tiny minority of humanity.”

The US empire must be dismantled from within by its own citizens. With its demise, other fascist regimes that rely on American support to sustain their existence, will also collapse.

Knowing is half the battle.

It doesn’t matter what they say or what their reaction is there’s no more conversation needed we understand where things are right now it’s not going to be fixed or debater or dialogue. They didn’t want to bet her dialogue so what happens next is on them

Toxic rhetoric, including calls for 'civil war' and retribution from the right

I have certainly seen as much on this Forum, this despite Charlie Kirk's effectiveness with its converse. He certainly wouldn't have condoned it, even in his posthumous name. Erika certainly doesn't want it. I think we should respect that.

“The Left is the party of murder”....

Every day that statement is more and more proven to be accurate.

Nobody expected anything different from the media. When antifa creates multiple riots again the media will sympathize with the rioters.

No.

We drove them to react with violence by speaking God’s truth.

We’re monsters

“calls for civil war” LOL...

No, we’re just finally waking up to your whole method of indoctrination. Do they listen to themselves at all?

“...without saying who “they” were...”

Here is a hint David Ingram, look in the mirror you swine. ANTIFA is the enemy. Democrats are the enemy. You leftwing pukes in the media are the enemy.

‘fascist regimes...’. Methinks whoever wrote this does NOT understand the term “they” used.

The civil war is already in progress, and has been for several years. Now they’re afraid the people on the right might start shooting back.

So the president of the United States saying that Donald Trump and his supporters are a threat to freedom ISN’T toxic rhetoric?

He’s quoting anonymous sources from Google?

His media model is dying. Do they know this?

There has been no violence. No looting, burning, mugging

None. And sorry for him there won’t be

These people point to past leftist and democrat victims of violence. They never can name one right wing or republican perpetrator, not any who was questionably framed and spoke publicly about why he/she acted against a lawful citizen/citizens

There trying but it’s not working
