*It could be good for humanity to popularize some kind of sovereign kill-switch software. Something you install on your PC (so you don't need to trust some 3rd party) that would send an email to press/friends/social_media (with secret data you held because of threats) after few days inactivity.
If Kirk knew his at a risk of assassination, he could put all the threats/proofs in the kill-switch-message effectively punishing the assassinators post-mortem.
If every high-profile person did that, every government would think twice before taking down someone.*

*If the US government wanted, they'd dramatically slow "illegal" chip exports to China (tighten end-user lists, ultimate consignee scrutiny, sanctions on third-country distributors, firmware locks).
They don't, because the net-benefit of controlled leakage (dependency + visibility + NVIDIA scale + escalation control) beats the cost of full denial (accelerated Chinese substitutes + retaliation + price spikes in global AI supply chains).*

*Former President Barack Obama, in a post on X on Thursday, said, “After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.”
“This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent — and media companies need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it,” Obama wrote.*

*John Yoo, the former deputy assistant attorney general under President George W. Bush who wrote the legal justification for torture during the war on terror, pushed back on the extreme powers Trump is claiming to kill those he labels terrorists. “There has to be a line between crime and war,” Yoo said. “We can’t just consider anything that harms the country to be a matter for the military. Because that could potentially include every crime.”*

*In a relatively free society, foreign powers through their proxies and frontwork get a say in our domestic affairs, in the form of military-grade psychological operations. These goal of these operations is to exploit human weakness for statecraft.
Who benefits from US cities looking like a zombie apocalypse? Domestic greed plays a part in an acute way, but on the whole it's competing totalitarian regimes that can point to the failures of these free societies and say that such models have failed to deliver prosperity for their people, giving the hostile power a lever to keep their own citizens content with their iron-fisted one-party rule.
Hollowing out our industrial base, social propaganda, political infiltration, drug distribution... these are all tactics of unrestricted warfare by rival powers. The US as a relatively free society is not inoculated against these 5GW attacks.
Nationalists who see this can only fight back against it by becoming more like the enemy, fascist, which foments even more domestic divide since it goes against cultural principles.
