Welcome back to Circa 1945: Breaking the Machine. A podcast of parables about the Holocaust — and what it would take to build a genocide-proof society.

This week, I want to talk about something in the news — but not in the way you’ve heard it elsewhere. The shooting of Charlie Kirk has sparked headlines, outrage, and theater. But this episode isn’t about him as an individual. It’s about the machinery that turns tragedy into spectacle, and grief into a weapon.

⁠Don't let them "Horst-Wessel" Charlie Kirk. ⁠
