The assassination of Charlie Kirk has revealed just how deep America’s cultural rifts have become. The disturbing reactions from the left, including open celebrations of violence, underscore how far society has spiraled into extremism. Relying on brutality instead of debate to push political views is a path toward collapse, and something must change before it’s too late.

On this episode of The Spectacle Podcast, hosts Melissa Mackenzie and Scott McKay are joined by John Hawkins, creator of the “Culturcidal” Substack, to discuss the cultural fallout of Kirk’s murder, the dangers of political violence, and what it means for America’s future. Tune in to hear their discussion!
