Liberal lunatics left X/Twitter for a social media alternative called Bluesky, bemoaning the amount of “hate speech” supposedly harbored by Elon Musk’s platform. It turns out that when you’re the one filled with hate and intolerance for any viewpoint but your own, that is the atmosphere you create, regardless of where you are. Every bully is, in reality, a coward, which is why when Musk freed Twitter from the chains of censorship, the Left fled for fear of being confronted by common sense, facts, and logic.

Although Bluesky has been on the decline and is now mainly composed of the left-wing elite, they have been keeping it alive through their parasitical relationship of feeding off each other’s anger. This site celebrates violence against anyone that the Left sees as the “enemy,” openly cheering without consequence. After the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Bluesky pretended to care about the ghoulish and highly dangerous behavior on its site by issuing a “warning.”

Glorifying violence or harm violates Bluesky’s Community Guidelines. We review reports and take action on content that celebrates harm against anyone. Violence has no place in healthy public discourse, and we’re committed to fostering healthy, open conversations.

But just as all the people like Mark Hamill and Taylor Lorenz who called for the death of Donald Trump and celebrated the murder of a health insurance CEO faced absolutely no consequences from Bluesky, neither has anyone since the killing of Kirk. This is the result of allowing mob rule to reign, as exhibited in the French Revolution; it becomes a feeding frenzy, and their thirst for blood burgeons.

In December, author and podcaster Jesse Singal wrote about his experience with the bloodthirsty mob when he joined the site. “On December 6, I made my first post on Bluesky,” he wrote. “As I soon found out, it is an exceptionally angry place. And in part because of a widespread culture of impunity when it comes to violent threats among some of its users, it comes across as a potentially dangerous one — in a way X, or Twitter, never did for me in my decade-plus of actively using that platform.”

Singal continued to relate how he was bombarded with messages from people telling him to kill himself or “expressing their opinion” that he should be killed. When those who hated him attempted and failed to get him booted off the site, the anger spread further. Giving license to anger and hate only breeds more of it.

Following Kirk’s murder, Bluesky announced that it would tighten up moderation and enforcement on its site. “After considering this feedback, and in a return to our experimental roots, we are going to bring a greater focus to encouraging constructive dialogue and enforcing our rules against harassment and toxic content,” the company said. “For starters, we are going to increase our enforcement efforts.” We won’t hold our breath.

The Bluesky site was supposedly started as a saner and kinder home for free expression after the Twitter takeover. As is the pattern with the Left, though, “Bluesky” really meant “storm cloud,” and “saneness” and “kindness” were euphemisms for “you have to agree with us, or else.” The Telegraph noticed this facade as well, commenting, “In the wake of Kirk’s death, Bluesky looked less like a refuge and more like an unfiltered echo chamber, where extremism wasn’t just tolerated but encouraged.”

Free speech is one thing, but calling for the death of someone just because you disagree with them, or celebrating the murder of a fellow law-abiding citizen, is the normalization of extremism. When your society has devolved to old ladies wearing “Make America Kind Again” shirts while decapitating the president in effigy, you have a problem. In a country where violence and death become celebrated content and entertainment, you have reached the realm of the Roman “games,” where countless Christians were hated and martyred.

We would be wise to listen to Jesus’s warning about speech in Matthew 15: “But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these make a man ‘unclean.’ For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. These are what make a man ‘unclean.’”
