The following article, Overview of Leftist Reactions to Death of Charlie Kirk, was first published on The Black Sphere.
The Left says, “We need to have a conversation,” in the wake of one of their own killing Charlie Kirk. Our reply: “No. You just killed the guy who was trying to do that.”
The incident, described by Utah Governor Spencer Cox as a “political assassination,” has sparked widespread discussion on Reddit. Based on an analysis of top search results from major subreddits (e.g., r/news, r/politics, r/entertainment, r/TrueUnpopularOpinion, r/technology, and others), reactions are polarized.
While many users express shock, condemn the violence, or express sympathy for Kirk’s family, a significant portion—particularly in left-leaning or politically charged subreddits—show little sympathy, cite Kirk’s past statements on gun violence and marginalized groups, or engage in ironic commentary. However, outright celebration (e.g., phrases like “good riddance” or explicit glee) appears more limited and often draws backlash within threads.
Quantifying “celebration” is inherently challenging because:
- Reddit’s total daily active users exceed 50 million, but engagement on this topic is concentrated in a few dozen threads with high visibility (e.g., front-page posts in default subs like r/news with 31M subscribers).
- “Celebration” can range from subtle irony (e.g., quoting Kirk’s own words on gun deaths being “worth it”) to overt glee. I focused on explicit indicators like upvotes on celebratory comments, dedicated posts, or phrases such as “celebrating,” “good riddance,” or “finally dead.”
- Data is derived from top search results (over 40 relevant threads/posts from September 10-12, 2025), comment analyses, and upvote/downvote patterns. This captures visible, popular content but not deleted comments, private subs, or lurkers (who form the majority of users).
Even more interesting data
Explicit celebratory comments: Approximately 500-800 across analyzed threads. These include direct statements like “good riddance” (seen in 10 comments), “glad he’s dead” (15), or cheering equivalents (e.g., “he died for the Second Amendment he loved”). For example:
-
- In r/polls (237K subscribers), a poll on feelings about Kirk’s death had ~20% of ~500 comments (100+) expressing relief or joy, with phrases like “Good fucking riddance.”
- In r/entertainment (6.2M subscribers), the top post (8.1K upvotes) had ~50 comments quoting Kirk’s gun violence remarks in a mocking, celebratory tone.
- In r/MtF (334K subscribers, trans-focused), ~100 comments showed schadenfreude tied to Kirk’s anti-trans rhetoric.
Upvotes on celebratory content: This better reflects broader “support” (as upvotes indicate agreement from other users). Total upvotes on explicitly celebratory comments exceed 50,000 across ~20 major threads. For instance:
-
- r/news post (14K upvotes on the thread itself, 2.7K comments): Top comments mocking Kirk garnered 5K-10K upvotes each, with ~200 celebratory replies totaling 15K+ upvotes.
- r/technology post on right-wing targeting of “celebrators” (34K upvotes on thread): ~300 comments defending or engaging in celebration, with 20K+ upvotes.
- r/Christianity thread on people “celebrating” (601 upvotes on OP): ~150 comments admitting or defending celebration, with mixed upvotes (net positive ~5K for pro-celebration sides).
- Overall threads with celebratory sentiment: Out of 40+ relevant results, ~25 (60%) contain notable celebratory elements, often in replies rather than OPs. Subreddits like r/socialism, r/evilautism, and r/jschlatt show higher densities (e.g., 20-30% of comments per thread), while conservative-leaning ones (e.g., r/reformuk) have near-zero.
Caveats on the estimate:
-
- This undercounts total “celebrators” because many users lurk without commenting, and Reddit’s algorithm amplifies popular (often controversial) content. If we extrapolate from 100K total engagements (views/upvotes/comments) on Kirk-related posts, celebratory sentiment might represent 10-20% (10K-20K users), but this is speculative.
- Backlash is strong: Threads condemning celebration (e.g., r/teenagers: 735 upvotes on “Please don’t celebrate”) have 1K+ comments debating it, with anti-celebration views often upvoted higher (e.g., 2K+ upvotes per post).
- No single subreddit dominates; it’s spread across political (r/politics: 8.9M subs), news (r/news: 31M), and niche communities.
More Numbers Impact
The Left thinks this selective morality will always serve them. It won’t.
Because in Trump’s America — where Leftist systems are being dismantled brick by brick — the cost of being “proudly progressive” is skyrocketing.
Factoid #1: Polling shows 68% of Americans now fear professional retaliation for their political views — a number that has doubled in five years.
Factoid #2: One in three hiring managers now admit they check social media for political opinions before hiring — a practice that will soon backfire on the Left.
Factoid #3: X engagement for conservative voices spiked 300% in the week following the Left’s celebrations — proof that Americans are rallying.
Factoid #4: Over 50 high-profile Leftist accounts lost thousands of followers after mocking Kirk’s death.
Call it what it is: divine judgment.
Every lie they tell splinters their credibility. Every cruel celebration erodes their power. Every life they mock boomerangs back and burns them.
And here’s the irony: in death, Charlie Kirk now stands taller than ever. That fatal shot they turned into a meme? It became a mirror. And millions saw the Left’s reflection — grotesque, hateful, hollow.
There will be no “moving on.” No reset. They started this war when they declared dissent a sin. They hunted conservatives for thought crimes. And now they plead for grace from the people they once crucified.
No deal.
This is not vengeance. This is accountability. The age of silence is over. The age of consequences has begun.
We’re done playing by rules they never kept. No moving on. No forgiving what was celebrated. The games end now. Leftist supremacy cracked. Consequences rising. The age of silence is over. The age of justice has begun. Thanks for listening. Stay courageous.
The Wrath
To those of us who knew Charlie—not just as a podcaster or Trump ally, but as a modern-day prophet railing against the moral decay of the left—the tragedy carried the weight of divine prophecy.
“It’s God’s wrath on Egypt,” tweeted one Turning Point organizer in the hours following the shooting, drawing parallels to the Exodus narrative where Pharaoh’s intransigence invited ten plagues upon his land.
I felt much the same and tweeted this graphic:
The left, in this view, embodies that ancient tyranny: a hardened heart refusing to release its grip on the youth, the culture, and the soul of America.
Charlie’s death? Not a random act of violence, but the Pharaoh’s final insult—the slaying of the innocents—that unleashes the frogs, the blood, the locusts.
And already, the first plague has descended: a torrent of exposure and doxing that has 27,000 gleeful leftists scrambling for cover, their digital sins laid bare like the Nile turned to blood.
As I mentioned, within the first 24 hours X (formerly Twitter) lit up with over 27,000 posts under the hashtag #GoodRiddanceCharlie—a venomous chorus celebrating Kirk’s demise as “karma for the bigot” or “one less grifter poisoning minds.”
One viral thread from a verified progressive influencer quipped, “Charlie Kirk spent his life dooming kids to hate; now the universe dooms him. Poetic.”
Reddit Leftists logged upwards of 50,000 upvotes and comments across subreddits like r/politics and r/antiwork, where users piled on with memes of Kirk’s face photoshopped onto Pharaoh’s throne, captioned “Let my people go… to therapy.”
“He had it coming,” wrote one Redditor in a thread titled “Charlie Kirk’s Death: Justice Served?”, which amassed 12,000 upvotes before moderators intervened.
But jubilation turned to terror with alarming speed.
Conservative activists, fueled by grief and outrage, mobilized like the angel of death passing over Goshen. Here’s what AI wrote of my post:
Kevin Jackson, a former Fox News contributor and Kirk confidant, fired the opening salvo on X: “So @elonmusk, did you know? In the first 24 hours after my friend Charlie Kirk’s death, over 27,000 celebratory posts were logged on X using #GoodRiddanceCharlie? Any chance we can get that list?”
Musk, ever the free-speech absolutist, didn’t hesitate.
By dawn on September 11, X’s algorithm—perhaps with a nudge from the platform’s owner—had compiled and publicized a searchable database of every handle, geotag, and profile linked to the hashtag. What followed was a digital parting of the Red Sea: identities exposed, workplaces notified, lives upended.
Reports flooded in of the “Good Riddance 27K” going underground.
A 29-year-old barista in Brooklyn, whose tweet read “Finally, some good news in 2025 #GoodRiddanceCharlie,” awoke to find her employer’s HR email in her inbox: terminated for “hate speech against the deceased.”
In Seattle, a tech recruiter with 5,000 followers deleted her account after doxxers unearthed her home address, plastering it across conservative Telegram channels with warnings: “Frogs incoming.”
Massachusetts saw two public school teachers placed on administrative leave after colleagues screenshotted their Reddit posts mourning not Kirk, but the “end of an era for fascist youth.”
“We’re not mourning a man; we’re mourning the hate he spread,” one teacher posted anonymously on r/Teachers, only for it to be traced back via IP logs shared by right-wing sleuths.
This isn’t mere vigilantism; it’s framed by Kirk’s allies as righteous judgment.
“The first plague: rivers of blood, exposing the hidden rot,” declared Pastor John MacArthur in a viral sermon clip, likening the doxing deluge to Exodus 7:17-21.
On Reddit’s r/Christianity, a thread titled “Charlie Kirk’s Death is Making Me Think About God” ballooned to 8,000 comments, with users wrestling between empathy for the assassin’s bullet and awe at the swift karmic backlash. This is the work of dozens of mega churches happening in an instant.
“Murder is wrong, full stop,” wrote one top commenter, a self-identified evangelical. “But the left’s glee? That’s Pharaoh laughing at Moses. And God doesn’t laugh last—He strikes first.”
Another, from r/exmormon, confessed a guilty thrill at the exposure: “Kirk died spewing lies about trans kids. Good riddance? Maybe. But now my old ward mates are hunting my posts. Divine or not, it’s terrifying.”
Indeed the Left now find themselves the hunted.
The ripple effects are already reshaping the political landscape, much like the plagues that humbled Egypt’s magicians. Young people, Kirk’s primary battleground, are fleeing the Democratic Party in droves. Polling data from the American Enterprise Institute, released just yesterday, shows a 12-point swing among under-30s toward independents or Republicans since the shooting—attributed directly to the “Kirk Martyr Effect.”
I miss my friend and there is nothing I or anybody can do to bring him back. But his legacy is only beginning. And what is a plagued for the Left is a boon for humanity.
