America’s double standard is tearing the country apart. Buy Ben a coffee- https://buymeacoffee.com/bendykes
The Lindsay Clancy trial, conspiracy theories surrounding Charlie Kirk’s assassination, and the continuing Russia–Ukraine war may appear unrelated—but they expose the same disturbing pattern. Americans increasingly change their standards for truth, justice, compassion, and accountability depending on which political tribe is involved.
In this backyard commentary, 20-year Navy submarine veteran Ben Dykes examines what happens when facts become optional, victims become secondary, and people defend behavior they would condemn if the names or political sides were reversed.
Mental illness deserves serious consideration, but so do the three children Lindsay Clancy killed. Questions surrounding Charlie Kirk’s assassination should be answered through evidence—not profitable internet speculation. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine should be judged by consistent principles rather than whichever narrative benefits Washington, Moscow, or partisan media.
America cannot remain united when we no longer share a basic standard of right and wrong. On a submarine, facts and accountability could not change according to personalities or politics. The country needs that same consistency now.
