Ep. 1 - Reaction to Charlie Kirk | Cancel Culture vs. Righteous Retribution

Welcome to Torchline Frequency — where Torch “picks up the truth where others left off.” In this first 18-minute episode, Torch responds to the public reaction following the death of Charlie Kirk. He examines how social media outrage, bots, and bad-faith actors exploit moments of loss to score points, mock, or dehumanize, and why this reflex has become a cultural problem.

Torch also discusses the line between cancel culture and righteous retribution, the ethical standards expected of public servants, and the responsibility all of us share to fact-check before amplifying claims online. From state employees’ controversial comments to high-profile figures like Stephen King, this episode explores how misinformation spreads, why compassion matters even in disagreement, and what it means to hold people accountable without celebrating their deaths.

Whether you’re conservative, liberal, independent, or just tired of the noise, this channel is for those who value truth, clarity, compassion, and facts. Torchline Frequency is a place for respectful debate and honest discussion — no rage-baiting, no cruelty.
