How? Franz Ferdinand's assasination caused an international crisis, whereas this event is clearly US-internal. People outside of the US do not care about Charlie Kirk, nor did he greatly care about countries abroad.

Just trying to put this into perspective for those who aren’t familiar. Nobody can know every publix figure, especially these days.

- voidhorse 1y agoThe biggest risk is that the current US admin uses this event as a prop to justify increasingly fascistic policies. In fact Stephen Miller has already signaled that at least he probably has this in mind. America gone full fascist won't immediately be an international problem but it eventually may be.

- redwood 1y agoFranz Ferdinand's assassination could, from the perspective of the Austro-Hungarian empire (a surprisingly liberal center of intellectual cosmopolitanism) be viewed as a match lighting a "civil war" that only later become international.
- krrrh 1y agoIt makes sense when you realize that the US has a similar scope and a larger number of states in it than Europe did at the time. Analogies between the United States and specific states in Europe often done work as well as US <-> Europe do.
