Of course his death will be instumentalized to crack down on everything progressive in the US. Because we can't have something good.

Visible repression is what's driving people to violence, so more repression is only going to create an even more volatile situation.

That is the only aspect of this homicide that worries me: the upper classes shall very probably use it as an excuse to further suppress their opposition. Otherwise, I don’t care that somebody murdered Charlie Kirk. He was a waste of space.
