https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/deafening-silence-after-mormon-church>On Sunday, news broke out of Michigan that a lone gunman crashed his vehicle into a Mormon church, opened fire, and set the building ablaze—another horrific act of violence in a country where such scenes have become all too common. Almost immediately, speculation swirled on Twitter, with far-right voices rushing to blame a Muslim or a “transgender leftist,” their favored scapegoats after mass shootings. But early images told a different story: the truck rammed into the church flew two large American flags and bore an Iraq War veteran plate. The shooter was no Muslim, no trans person. He was a Trump-supporting combat veteran—a cisgender white man who fit the profile of so many American mass shooters.>Just like that, the story faded from the political radar. There were no calls in the aftermath to investigate Trump supporters as potential terrorists. No national conversations about the violent capacity of cisgender men. No discussions about whether white people who fly massive American flags on the backs of their trucks should have their guns taken away. No presidential proclamations casting suspicion on the identity of this mass shooter. Cisgender combat veterans will not spend the days after this tragedy fearing that their rights will be stripped away because of the actions of one man.>I would ask you to imagine, for one moment, that this shooter had been transgender—but you don’t have to. Just last month, a similar tragedy unfolded in Minneapolis with a transgender shooter. It was a massive statistical outlier: transgender people account for only 0.087 percent of mass shootings in America, far below the per-capita rate for white men, and also far below white men when you only consider active shooter instances on school campuses, making up 3 of 74 such incidents. Yet in the wake of that rare event, the floodgates opened against transgender people.
>>41207422the rise of mormons
because the right operates in bad faith. they don't care about gun violence or the loss of civilians. they care about control.
>>41207422I don't really understand the liberal obsession with pointing out the hypocrisy of their fascistic opponents. Who are you persuading? The other side takes glee in weaponizing their hypocrisy to hurt us whenever possible. They are emboldened when you complain that they aren't following the rules, because they don't want to follow the rules of the social contract. You are just writing these things to point out the obvious to people who already agree with you.
>>41207536ThisPeople point out hypocrisy as if it is a gotcha, instead of the modus operandi of the right
>>41207536>vampires can't reflect
>>41207422Yes, conservatives are evil and have no actual values besides a primitive drive to harm anyone unlike them. More news at 11.
>>41207422Why are anti lgbt people so violent. Take away their guns!!!!
>>41207536>social contractlol
>>41207536there's some value in building up a long record of boringly stating the truth in cases where it's obvious but not widely talked about
>>41207536You do it for centrists and independent and to keep people informed. Nobody is trying to convince right winger that ship has long sailed. We all know theyre animals without value
>>41207422Nobody cares because everyone hates Mormons.Also, this libtard tranny should avoid talking about the statistics of mass shootings.
>>41207422wrong, looks like a repper to me
>>41207422What do you mean “deafening silence”? Conservatives are acknowledging it as Mormons being persecuted by Protestants. What did you expect them to say? “This shooter was a Christian so I guess trannies are valid after all”
>>41207422he had an anti-trump sign on his property.....
>>41207604>>41207612I suppose, I mean as someone who held centrist/chud-lite opinions at one point I don't think stuff like this would be convincing. It's better to point out the specific ways in which those centrists are being hurt by the regime. (Erin does do a good job writing this type of stuff when she reports on direct anti-trans actions that have been taken.)
>>41207662No he didn’t. All his social media had maga and anti lgbt stuff
>>41207712>All his social media had maga and anti lgbt stuffthat's why he targeted a mormon church, right ?
>>41207800because he's a religious nut who probably believes mormons are demonic, satan worshipper or whatever the fuck. He's your average right wing retard in other words; a demented, deluded, violent, dark tetrad haver
>>41207800You’re coping cause this one wasn’t a tranny. He was an anti lgbt maga.
>>41207827one picture wearing a meme shirt, where is the proof for ant-lgbt believes ? why would he donate to act blue ?
>>41207851that's a different guy, lives in the wrong state
>>41207851>meme shirtY'all are so deranged sometimes with the mental gymnastics sometimes
>>41207827>excitedly bragging when a shooter isn’t transgender on this particular occasion Not the flex you think it is
>>41208047“Excitedly bragging”If that’s what you got out of those words your autism is off the charts. kayyy whyyy esss!
>>41207851Who the fuck would wear that in public (looking like him, no less) if they were anti-Trump? He'd just look like a MAGA guy, not some funny memester.
>>41207536this is for the post-fascist history books. in 200 years, people will want to know what happened and why. having boring media like this informs them.
>>41207422lolstop tolerating faith (rightoidism is faith)
>>41207536We are actually following the exact same rules you followTell me, there’s 400 mass shootings a year in the US you always state, but you only talk about the 3 or 4 with a write person
>>41208113In 200 years>lol they actually thought they were women? lmao
>>41209410more like>wait pre-upload humans actually couldn't swap bodies?>it wasn't just harder or more dangerous, they actually couldn't do it at all?>holy shit i'm glad i was never a meatbag
>>41207561>>41209366if you would have paid attention to my post you would understand that I see no value in debating or tolerating disingenuous rats like you, and my post was merely a call to encourage more people to do the same. You are a scumbag with no respect for anything and no values beyond exporting violence and hate and yet you whine when people treat you for what you actually are. Laughable.
>>41209366what's a write person
>>41209855A person of ink. Be respectful.
>>41207422>He was a Trump-supportingExcept, he wasn't.You need to do better Eric.Your blogging is disgraceful.
>>41207422Why is she bringing up white men when most shootings are niggers
>>41208047It wasn't in the last one either, and the one before that was a detranser. You are aware of this, right?
>>41210332Are you aware that you just beleive whatever slop (((they))) shovel down your throat?
>>41210340ironic
>>41207422The left is so hilariously toothless.
>>41210340Heh, nothing personnel, kid
>>41207612Yeah and we wonder why the world is do fucking dividedBurn this fucking country Jesus Christ fuck you anon
>>41207824Yeah they are all evil subhumans and they deserve no empathy they are unfixable
>>41207824>right wingExcept, he wasn't.
>>41210340says the slopaganda guzzler regurgitating what his favorite zogbot influencer told him instead of looking into the case himself
>>41207422you would think that people on both sides of this would have realized by now that playing the blame game whenever a tragedy happens is evil, but nobody ever doesalso note how this retarded hon repeats the lie that the MN shooter was trans because saying someone who wasn't still on hrt or socially transitioning isn't trans would be too truscummy
