New Study: 'Assassination Culture' Is 'Not Fringe' And Grounded In Far-Left Authoritarianism And Increasingly Normalized In Digital Discourse Leading To 'Real World Escalation'
In a newly released study by theNetwork of Contagion Research Institute (NCRI), which is embedded at the bottom of this article, they researched the emerging "assassination culture' from liberals online, and how the increasingly radical rhetoric online normalizing violence against President Trump and Elon Musk, as examples, were leading to real world escalations of violence.
Do not expect the MSM to cover this report in any depth, by an organization they usually use as "experts" in their reports, because it specifies "politically left-leaning segments of the population," and the violent rhetoric, as well as the belief that murder and property destruction in becoming increasingly popular with that segment, and is not just the "fringe" of the Democrat party.
We'll highlight some of the key points that caught the eye, and readers are encouraged to read through the 16 page report and highlight what catches their eye in the comment section.
Earlier in the report they do mention those on the "extreme" left, but on page #10 they state "The data reveal a structured endorsement of political violence targeting figures like Donald Trump and Elon Musk. These attitudes are not fringethey reflect an emergent assassination culture, grounded in far-left authoritarianism and increasingly normalized in digital discourse."
Under the introduction on pages #1 and #2, they list the following data points:
Muder Justification: 31% and 38% of respondents stated it would be at least somewhat justified to murder Elon Musk and President Trump, respectively.
○ These effects were largely driven by respondents that self-identified as left of center, 3 with 48% and 55% at least somewhat justifying murder for Elon Musk and President Trump, respectively, indicating significantly higher justification for violence against these figures.
Property Destruction: Nearly 40% of respondents (39.8%) stated it is at least somewhat acceptable (or more) to destroy a Tesla dealership in protest.
Psychological/Ideological Correlations with Assassination Culture: These beliefs are highly correlated with one another, as well as with the justification of the murder of the UnitedHealthcare CEO and hyper-partisan left-wing ideology.
○ This suggests that support for violence is part of a broader assassination culture, underpinned by psychological and ideological factors.
Online Amplification of Radical Ideation: BlueSky plays a significant and predictive role in amplifying radical ideation.
○ Users are increasingly associating the memeification of Luigi Mangione with calls for political violence against Musk, Trump, and others, reflecting the growing cyber-social presence of assassination culture.
BlueSky, mentioned in the report is the social media platform many online liberals moved to when X, formerly known as Twitter, started allowing a free exchange of discussion and stopped banning conservatives for their political ideology.
The group did analyze other social media platforms, including reddit and X, but the authors chose to specify BlueSky in the introduction points listed above.

As shown above, they provided screenshots of examples of some of what they found, including that the correlation between left-wing ideology and death wishes, and that those that found violence, or assassination of President Trump and Elon Musk, also celebrated the killing ofUnited Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, byLuigi Mangione
Noteworthy: According to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, she herself received death threats for seeking the death penalty for Mangione.
On "Fox News Sunday," Bondi defended the administration's approach to the Mangione case.
"If there was ever a death case, this is one," she said.
She also condemned people who have sympathized with Mangione. Thompson's death last year prompted months of national interest in Mangione driven by both his physical appearance and frustrations with the American health care system.
"I feel like these young people have lost their way," she said. "I was receiving death threats for seeking the death penalty on someone who was charged with an execution of a CEO."
Part of the assassination culture of the left not includes actual death threats against the AG. This "culture" is escalating at an exponential rate.
In the "conclusion" part of the report, the authors state "This report points to disturbingly high levels of support for political violence, particularly targeting President Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Across survey responses, nearly one-third of respondentsand a significantly higher share of left-leaning respondentsexpressed some degree of justification for acts of lethal violence."
"Unless political and cultural leadership explicitly confronts and condemns this trend, NCRI assesses a growing probability of real-world escalation. Given the current economic volatility and institutional distrust, the online normalization of political violence may increasingly translate into offline action."
Considering the fact that Democrat leadership appears to be encouraging the violent rhetoric, there is likely no chance they will "condemn" it.
Interestingly it appears this study was conducted more than eight years too late, because Democrat politicians were inciting violence during President Trump's first term as well, as this flashback video reminds us all.
