Riley Gaines attacked by "transgender terrorists".

The Left has often used violence and intimidation to force their agenda down societies throat.

Fascists and neo-fascists are more apt to do that, and they are not part of the "Left". And it wasn't the "Left" that wanted slavery as it was the right that once included the Southern Democrats that are now overwhelming Pubs.

 

[Twilight Hue]

That's "terrorism"?
I suppose that the word will soon evolve to
include profanity, sarcasm, & micro-aggression.

People today are just not made of the rough tough stock of people from days gone by.

Oh, it's that bs again.

 

[Revoltingest]

Oh, it's that bs again.

Fascists on the left are dismissed using the No True Scotsman fallacy.

Only to those who don't study and are so gullible so as to believe in the BIG LIE for example. Maybe look things up and not be so lazy.

Let's just say I find myself being ' discouraged' if say anything that is regarded as being "phobic" that goes against the rules on various internet platforms.

So? Take your warnings and points and quit complaining.
I findit funny how it's typically Conservatives complaining about having the rules they agreed to abide by being applied to them.
Myself I see I got a PM and I just assume it's another point. Oh well. I did it and usually know what post it is without checking. Ever hear me complaining and boohooing about it? There's at least a few here who have racked up the points and they aren't whining about it or hiw they falsely believe compliance with agreed to rules is censorship.

Except it's a fact that Dems and Reps flipped and flopped around. We can see this in how black people overwhelmingly shifted from voting Rep to voting Dem, or how Dems went from things like opposing Reconstruction to discussing reparations.

I refer to the left broadly, including also socialist regimes.
In our democratic society, "fascism" is over-used.
But I see that some policies lean towards fascism
without actually becoming full blown fascism.

DISCLAIMER: MTG's words, not mine as it applies to title.

Riley Gaines says she was attacked by trans activist students at SFSU

Riley Gaines is a former college swimmer who competed against Lia Thomas and has criticized the unfairness of including transgender athletes in women's sports.

Trans people , at least in the news, are getting pretty violent lately. First a shooting , now assaulting athletes.

Whatever the reason, this crazy out of control behavior is not acceptable.

Whilst indeed awful and I do not condone violence whatsoever. With all that I’ve seen about legislation being pushed through specifically about trans individuals in the US, I can’t say I’m terribly surprised. Push on people and sooner or later they’ll push back

Now granted I’m only going by what the international news media and various social media channels have said about such legislation, since I’m not American. I’m just saying.

If my community were subject to such legislation, I’d imagine they’d do the same, sooner or later.
Is that justified? Well no, but humans are flawed creatures so. I mean eh, what can you do?

I will say from what I’ve seen about MTG I am beyond disgusted by her. Nothing to do with politics, like I said, not American. She just comes across as a cretin in literally ever interaction I’ve ever seen from her lol

Unfortunately there's trans people who break the law. Nothing to get weird about.

 

[Viker]

at least in the news,

The actions of a few do not necessarily represent a whole. These news segments are always geared to do such a thing. To rile up fear and animosity towards an entire group.

You think stuff like this shouldn't be reported?

I gave an answer to a query.. It wasn't complaining. Lol.

 

[Viker]

Not what I think at all. I think there should be greater context and accuracy. A little more scrutiny. And taking MTG's word at no value.

What lead to this clip?

I got a sneaky suspicion it’s political

 

[Jimmy]

The nation doesn’t hear all the crimes committed in the nation. So is it political if we’re all hearing trans crimes now. Prolly

 

[Twilight Hue]

I suppose it all depends on how it's worded.

 

[Viker]

The way MTG words it, it is political and she does equivocate the whole trans movement as dangerous. Unfortunately, many of her fans agree and a slighted clip like this will confirm that for them.

 

[Jimmy]

I suppose it all depends on how it's worded.

Wording? Nah. The fact that trans crimes are reaching the whole nation as of late. I mean school shootings definately need to be nationwide reported. And I suppose this Riley Gaines thing too cuz she’s famous. But if we start hearing burglaries etc then I’d start wondering

 

[Jimmy]

I don’t think the reporting of trans crimes is political at the moment. We’ll have to wait and see.
