Corporate America had better wake up—fast.
Charlie Kirk was murdered from 200 yards away, with the cold precision of someone lining up a target at a shooting range. He didn’t die in a back alley or some political war zone. He had security and died in the open, under the watch of a supposedly civilized society at a university.
If someone with security, visibility, and national prominence can be picked off from that distance, how hard do you think it would be to reach your average CEO at a shareholder meeting? How protected are your ideas from the activists you thought were just “passionate employees”?
Because the truth is, the woke don’t just disagree with you anymore. They dehumanize you. And dehumanization is always the last step before violence.
This is not hyperbole. The same culture that once argued for “inclusivity” now cheers public assassinations if the victim had the wrong political leanings.
When Kirk’s death hit the news, while millions mourned, thousands celebrated.
Educators, lawyers, even judges recorded themselves dancing on Kirk’s metaphorical grave. Imagine your general counsel popping champagne because a man was gunned down for speaking ideas, they found distasteful.
This is the America the Left built: a violent-crazed society where moral outrage has been weaponized and pointed inward.
Consider what this means for corporate culture.
The so-called “woke” revolution was sold to boardrooms as harmless HR fluff—diversity workshops, pride flags on Zoom backgrounds, and land acknowledgements before meetings. But beneath the rainbows and hashtags lurked something darker: a generation indoctrinated to see ideological opponents not as rivals but as evil. And evil as they define it, must be eradicated. This is what they have been taught.
It’s not just theory. For example, an Office Depot employee refused to print Kirk memorial posters, calling them “propaganda.” She was fired—but not before the damage was done.
How many more employees like her sit quietly in your company, their finger not on a print button this time, but maybe on something far worse?
Think of them as ideological IEDs. You never know where they’re buried or what will trigger them.
Some CEOs are still in denial. They think this can’t happen in their world.
They think politics and business are separate planets. That’s adorable. The healthcare executive executed in broad daylight likely never considered such an end to his life. His killer was celebrated on social media because he supposedly opposed gender ideology in children’s care.
You think the C-suite occupants in America are immune? One viral tweet labeling your CFO a “fascist” could put a bullseye on their back.
“Going postal” used to describe a workplace shooting born of personal despair. But today, the despair has been replaced by doctrine. The rage is ideological, sanctified by hashtags, and no badge or building badge can stop it.
This isn’t just about safety. It’s about survival—of business, of free thought, of any semblance of rational discourse.
Would you want a surgeon who checks your Facebook before deciding how carefully to operate? A judge who scrolls your LinkedIn before deciding your sentence? Because we already have doctors publicly praising Kirk’s assassin. We already have professors and teachers cheering the assassination.
This isn’t politics. It’s purification, the purge.
And once purification starts, it doesn’t end with Charlie Kirk. It ends when there’s nobody left to disagree with.
Here’s the bitter irony:
The Left promised that embracing “woke” would inoculate companies from harm. It was supposed to be a shield. But they were manufacturing the weapons all along. Corporations hired zealots and called it progress. They gave them DEI budgets, influence, and policies to enforce. They trained them to sniff out “wrongthink”, aka truth. What they didn’t do was ask what happens when they find it in you.
The truth is, wokeism is not just a moral threat. It’s a business threat. One act of “resistance” from a rogue employee can destroy billions in brand equity. Just ask Bud Light. One rogue manager’s crusade erased decades of brand loyalty in weeks. Now imagine that, but with bullets instead of boycotts.
Every executive in America should ask themselves these questions at least:
- How protected are your ideas?
- What’s the threshold for becoming a “legitimate target” in the eyes of the “woke”?
The assassination of Kirk didn’t expose the dirty underbelly of wokeism, it showed us its full face—cold, self-righteous, and jubilant at the sight of what it deems enemy blood.
Corporate America has a choice: purge the ideology now or wait to see which of your executives becomes the next headline.
If you think you’re safe because you stayed neutral, remember: Charlie Kirk didn’t die for picking a fight. He died for daring to merely ask that he be heard.
When a CEO can’t act on common sense and what’s best for his or her organization and instead caters to “woke”, that company is doomed.
