Another Fucking Mass Shooting At US School

[Jimmy Higgins]

I think I understand your politics well enough to know

Whatever you think my politics are, you are likely wrong.

Your politics are irrelevant. What matters is that almost all of your posts contain links to misinformation or disinformation, and then you insult some group of people.

this tells us you don't know what you are talking about and you enjoy petty insults towards people you think are wrong.

why the Nashville shooting made you go off on this tangent about nuts who send death threats to celebrities like JK Rowling and those who peddle transphobism. (She is far from the worst of them.)

“Transphobism”, nice little dog whistle you have.

Funny, Greene immediately brought up the shooter's transgender identity. But we never once heard about the danger of rich white men after the Las Vegas massacre. Talk about identity politics. It's all you people traffic in.

Most mass shootings are overwhelimingly commited by men. More mass shootings have been commited by incels than trans persons. About half of male mass shooters have had legal problems with violent abuse of significant others. Many have a history of mental illness. Yet the NRA and like minded progun groups oppose red flag laws.

Twitter restricts Marjorie Taylor Greene's account over Nashville school shooting-related "vengeance" post

Twitter was reacting to a post mentioning the Nashville school shooting, transgender people and "vengeance."

www.cbsnews.com

"My Congressional account was suspended for 7 days for exposing Antifa, who are organizing a call for violence called 'Trans Day of Vengeance.' The day after the mass murder of children by a trans shooter," she tweeted.

Greene's tweet seems to have been about a demonstration organized for Saturday in front of the Supreme Court.

The Trans Radical Activist Network, Our Rights DC and other groups are putting together the event to protest the anti-trans legislation and violence that transgender people in the U.S. continue to face.

The event, the groups said, "is about unity, not inciting violence," adding that violence isn't encouraged or welcomed at the event.

The groups also said they are "horrified" and "outraged" by shooting at The Covenant School but they reject "any connection" between that and their protest.

It's interesting that (stupid) people are flipping out about an event where people have been explicitly and seriously told to walk in peace by the organizers yet those same (stupid) people fail to make any comment about the myriad of times their own idol has explicitly commanded the violent overthrow of the United States.

If it wasn't for hypocrisy
They wouldn't have no pocrisy at all...

If you believe that there is no such thing as transphobism, then you confirm my opinion of what your politics are.

I believe there is such a thing as bigotry but made up words like "transphobia" are dog whistles for radicals to get behind.

I never said or implied anything at all about transgender people being capable of violence, so I'll just repeat what you pretended to respond to: However, it is clear from your post that your reaction to the shooting is motivated by a desire to blame those on the other side of the culture war over transgender issues. You say that motive isn't important to you, but you can't join the battle if it weren't what was on your mind when you referenced threats made to so-called "TERFs" in connection with this shooting.

Ok so trans people can get worked up into acts of violence. Maybe not the Nashville shooting level but it's entirely possible, we shall see.

TTFN.

 

[Jarhyn]

Everyone everywhere can be worked up into an intolerable haze of desire to do violence.

The fact is that MTG is a transphobic bigot.

She is exactly this because she fears trans people to the point of calling for their forcible eradication.

Yet, your first post regarding this awful event was targeted against alleged "rabid" and "unhinged" rhetoric against people like JK Rowling as it related to statements made regarding transgenders. Well, I mean as soon as The Daily Mail printed on it, you did.

6 people were murdered and you ae still whining about transgender people

I don't know how Greene feels about transgenderism. We do know though that she likes to get press by using them as a political foil and put them in danger.

You don't put that which you do not fear under threat. Threat is almost exclusively reserved for management of things we fear. We fear murderers, so we threaten them with justice of the laws

We fear thieves, so we threaten them with the laws.

(Insert another two or three "we fear ___, so we threaten them with the law" here. Yes, I'm phoning it in)

If she didn't fear transgender people and culture, she wouldn't pick them as a target.

Why she fears them? I have no fucking clue.

I just know that when someone hurts folks like this, it's often because they were hurt themselves.

If they became themselves via that path, it makes sense to recognize that this is in fact a form of non-sexual memetic reproductive behavior.

Darwinism states that systems which can reproduce by some means will fairly promptly either disappear or develop mechanisms to preserve such cycles.

 

[Jimmy Higgins]

Honestly, I think it is 50-50 whether Greene actually cares about transgenders at all or if they are merely a ploy that she (and the alt-right) uses for access to power. Stefanik and DeSantis weren't alt-right 10 years ago. But they shifted there when the winds blew in that direction. Greene could fear or hate transgenders, but at least that would be honest bigotry, instead of dishonest fear mongering.

How does a moron like this get elected?

 

[Shadowy Man]

How does a moron like this get elected?

Biden was in the Senate then and the Senate voted for it so it’s not inappropriate to associate Biden with that legislation.

That doesn’t mean she’s not a moron but that also doesn’t mean one has to go out of one’s way to try to make her look like one.

 

[Jimmy Higgins]

That place looks empty.

Lindsey Graham said we need more police in schools . That would be like 750,000 more cops than we have now. Where are they to come from and who will pay them?

 

[Politesse]

I believe there is such a thing as bigotry but made up words like "transphobia" are dog whistles for radicals to get behind

So you believe opposition to trans rights is fueled by intentional bigotry, not irrational fear?

Taxes and conscription.

You don't put that which you do not fear under threat.

Where have you been for the last 7 years?
Trumpism says you put people under threat whenever it’s politically expedient. If you happen to fear them, that’s a two-fer.
This principle applies to police, intelligence agencies, the judiciary, Democrats, the media ... and of course, LGBTQ people. As well as smart people and honest people.
What makes you think trans people should be exempt from a soaking by the RW fire hose of vitriol?

Actually, if you carry on with Windsock Graham’s recommendation and assume he means at least 2+ cops (he did use the plural “cops”) in a school of 200, keeping that ratio could require MILLIONS of new cops.

Utter nonsense. It would have taken you two seconds to find out that  Transphobia is well established by attested English usage in dictionaries. I didn't make the word up. Here is the Merriam-Webster definition:

trans·pho·bia ˌtran(t)s-ˈfō-bē-ə
ˌtranz-

: irrational fear of, aversion to, or discrimination against transgender people

There are plenty of attested examples of its usage on the Merriam-Webster page. According to the Wikipedia entry, the word was entered into the Oxford English Dictionary in 2013, a full decade ago.

What are you talking about? Are we not discussing an incident where a transgender person committed an act of violence? That was, in fact, the Nashville incident. Why would you think that anyone is denying that?
