MARK JUDGE: Charlie Kirk and the Left’s Memory Police.

Think about it. Liberals told us that there wasn’t any repression or famine in the old Soviet Union. They insisted that there were no communist spies in the American government after World War II. They told us that the peace, culture, and family life in the 1950s never really existed. They told us our soldiers in Vietnam were evil, and that anonymous sex with hundreds of partners was not the cause of sexual diseases. They called Brett Kavanaugh a gang rapist – and still do. They lied about Charlie Kirk or are attempting to. Liberals are our Memory Police, and have been for decades.

On August 22, 2025, Iryna Zarutska, a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee, was fatally stabbed on a light rail train in Charlotte, North Carolina. It was a major story and now it isn’t – in fact, George Floyd is getting more coverage at this point. The Memory Police are doing their job.

They know what they want you to be angry about, and what they absolutely don’t want you to be angry about.

LIFE AT THE NYT: “Charlie’s approach was to engage his adversaries in endless, ongoing conversation — more and more speech. The commenter insists on an end to speech. That too is speech — saying you want an end to the speech on a topic you don’t want to have to speak about. It has an eloquent implication: The listener may assume you don’t have a powerful contradiction.”

They literally don’t know how to talk to people who disagree, and see it as an imposition.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN “GENOCIDE” AND, YOU KNOW, ACTUAL GENOCIDE:

Islamic terrorists are burning entire Christian and Alawite villages in Syria. While the media talks about an alleged “genocide in Gaza,” they remain silent worldwide about the persecution of Christians in the Middle East and in Nigeria.

“Since leftism was (to invoke Tolkien again) created in mockery of Christianity, as the Orcs were created in mockery of the Elves, there’s a fundamental hatred there that can’t be tamped down for long.”

FLASHBACK: The Banality of Leninism.

Historians often act like Lenin’s tyranny was a bolt from the blue: Who would have expected a bunch of socialists to be so bloodthirsty? Admirers of Lenin, in contrast, often paint him as a great innovator – at least as a strategist. A dictatorship of the proletariat run by a vanguard party of bourgeois intellectuals? Only Lenin could have conceived it. When you read 19th-century Russian literature, however, “Leninist” memes clearly predate the birth of Lenin. Contrary to many historians, Lenin’s atrocities were foreseeable. And contrary to Lenin’s admirers, his strategy of atrocity was pure cliche.

I suspect the antidote to Leninism is the even older policy of Sulla-ism.

THE NEW SPACE RACE:
