You Can’t Have Unity With People Who Want You Dead

Why false calls for “unity” ring hollow in a culture that cheers violence and silences truth.

No Unity in an Age of Violence

Unity is one of those words that gets thrown around a lot these days. Politicians preach it, commentators demand it, and even our neighbors talk about it like it’s the cure for everything wrong with America. But unity only works if the people calling for it actually want peace.

Right now, that’s not what we’re seeing. We’re living in a culture where good people are being murdered, and others are celebrating it. Videos circulate online of so-called teachers and activists cheering the death of people they disagree with. Charlie Kirk’s name has been openly mocked and celebrated in death wishes by the same people who claim to be “tolerant.” How are we supposed to have unity with those who literally want us dead?

Everyday Life Under a Shadow

This isn’t just a social media problem. It seeps into real life. How are parents supposed to trust sending their children to schools when some teachers are openly championing political violence? How do you sit in a doctor’s office or a dentist’s chair, knowing there are professionals out there who have publicly called for the death of Christians, conservatives, and anyone who refuses to bow to progressive orthodoxy?

Unity isn’t possible when one side is sharpening knives while preaching tolerance.

The Hypocrisy of Antifa

We’re also told to fear “fascism.” Yet Antifa, the self-proclaimed anti-fascists, are the ones using fascist tactics. They silence voices they disagree with through threats, intimidation, and violence. They shut down events, chase speakers from campuses, and demand silence from anyone who won’t chant their slogans. That isn’t democracy. That isn’t freedom. That’s tyranny with a mask on.

And we’re supposed to believe this is the crowd we can find unity with?

Violence Reveals the End of Ideas

When people resort to violence, it’s because they’ve run out of ideas. Debate, dialogue, and persuasion require truth and reason. But when one side knows its arguments won’t stand, it reaches for a brick, a Molotov, or a mob. Violence is the last refuge of those who can’t win with words.

Recent polls even show that a growing percentage of the political left is willing to justify violence against their opponents. Think about that. A sizable portion of our fellow Americans now believe the solution to disagreement isn’t debate, it’s destruction.

That’s not unity. That’s civil unraveling.

True Unity Is in Christ

So where does that leave us? It leaves us with the sobering truth: unity with those who demand your death is impossible. We can’t make peace with people who celebrate bloodshed. We can’t lock arms with those who sharpen blades in one hand and wave “unity” banners with the other.

But that doesn’t mean we give up on unity entirely. It means we recognize where true unity lies, not in politics, not in false tolerance, but in Christ. Only in Him do we find the bond that transcends hate. Only in Him is there forgiveness, mercy, and a family that no mob can destroy.

Until then, we stand firm. We protect our families. We speak truth. And we reject the false unity of a culture that celebrates death while calling it progress.

Closing Thought:Unity is not possible with those who want us gone. But unity is possible with the One who overcame death itself. That’s where I stand.
