i’m unbothered and frankly, glad, that transphobia appears to be a primary reason. in what way does that cheapen or negatively change the morality of the act? the demonizing and dehumanizing of people like me is responsible for the deaths of people like me. being turned into a national boogeyman has made it more unsafe for millions and millions of americans, many who are cisgender women trying to use the bathroom, and one of the biggest voices responsible for legitimizing it all is now gone and the person who did it did so to reduce direct harm to trans people. it is a calculable net positive for us all. anything resulting from this act as retribution isn’t a fault of the action if the action is just. that would be to cede ground to unreasonable voices. blame the minds of those who respond to it with their own violence and their reasons for doing so.
preventing further widespread national harm and death by eliminating the source of the spread is a good thing and if the person who did it ended up doing it because of the decedent’s own words and positions then so the fuck what? they were murderous positions to spread and encourage. words are not simply words; opinions are not merely statements of thought. you should face consequences for stochastically stoking the flames of fascism. using bigotry to take advantage of poor people who are disenfranchised and uneducated is despicable, it is ghastly, it is unforgivable. my identity is not a threat to anyone. protecting me is not murder, it is self-defense.
U think Kirk was a fascist? He was the moderate position. Nick Fuentes an actual fuckin Nazi gained 100k viewers in one stream after the assassination. And calling him a Nazi (which he actually is) is going to be completely useless because everyone in the centre or moderate right have been getting called that for years now. Wolf was cried so many times that now the actual wolves are out nobody is going to take u seriously.
Also picking a physical fight with the us Republican was the worst possible target. 45% of Republican voters own guns 20% of democrat voters own guns, 65% of military members vote Republican. If a civil war does kick off the Republicans will be 2 for 2 when it comes to winning.
Yes, he was a fascist.
No, I don’t care about calling Nick Fuentes anything. If we’re exceptionally lucky, he’ll hit himself in the head hard enough to realize what a useless tool he is. I’d also accept him smacking himself hard enough to put himself into a coma, I’m not picky.
Finally, no one cares about how many guns Republicans have. As people, they seem to be (by and large) useless parasites that make nothing. If they kill the rest of us, it just puts the nail in the coffin for themselves that much faster.
Source?
I think u will start to care when they start using said guns. And 90% of the engineers I’ve met are right wing so I think the world would continue to function.
Oh no, how will we ever do without 90% of the engineers you’ve anecdotally met.
lol bye.
