Saagar I really hope you read these posts, man. As a leftist, I wouldn't EVER cheer your death. AND I HOPE THATS MOT WHAT YOU TAKE AWAY FROM KIRKS DEATH.
The last 3 years you've given me more to think about, ponder and have challenged my beliefs in more than any other conservative political pundit whose content I've ever consumed. I believe you approach MOST topics in good faith, and in objective reality. I don't always arrive in agreement with you but you've challenged my views and values in ways no one else has-and I am very grateful and thankful to for you for that. Bong rips for Saagar and his baby!

Saagar please don't think you and Charlie Kirk are comparable. Saagar even in moments when I disagree I have always believed you have journalistic integrity and empathy. You have always held yourself to a high and consistent moral standard. I will continue to support and look forward to hearing your thoughtful, respectful, and well-researched takes.

@BreakingPoints and for the community since nobody has talked about it directly,

Helldivers 2, which the CK shooter seems to reference with the inscribed arrows, is a deeply satirical shooter game that is a spiritual successor to Starship Troopers.

The game has players engage in an interplanetary war to defend "Super Earth" from alien bugs and robots, in which the governing body of Super Earth is clearly fascist and players are expendable helldivers who are sent to foreign planets on missions to do various things, but mostly clean up the mess of the governments experiments and other alien incursions.

However, the fun of the story aspect is that it is very tongue-in-cheek patriotic such that you are routinely told not to question things less you be deemed a traitor. You have to destroy radio towers that broadcast conspiratorial (factual) news, and you always get the sense that there's a deep well of fascist darkness just behind any question you may ask.

Since you are deployed on foreign planets, you ...
