Also this shooter seemed to be obsessed with nazi posts online and posted white supremacist stuff in her manifesto She was closer to Matt Walsh and Chris Rufo than to most trans people politically, this was yet another Conservative shooting

Odd how being an oppressed minority doesn't immunize one from the toxicity of fascism, almost like minorities are individuals with individual minds 🤔 and not just broad stereotypes
Some people are just susceptible to bad ideas, unfortunately and their level of analysis doesnt go any deeper than surface level
This shooter was also a member of a radicalization group (Order of Nine Angles, or ONA) that targets/grooms people who are easily manipulated to commit acts like this. ONA is closely affiliated with (as in, provides propaganda materials to) Atomwaffen, and also has ties with ... ugh ... "Big Balls."
Atomwaffen = accelerationist neo-Nazis, for those wondering they think they can force the collapse of democratic liberalism with enough violence
ONA is some heinous stuff...
Yeah. They basically took every absurd and extreme image and talking point out of the Satanic Panic, and used it to construct an aesthetic and faux ideology to scare people as much as possible. Manipulative, sadistic, truly evil group.
Rufo and Walsh want and hope for more of this because it's another finger they can pull out of their asses and point at but the shooter barely had any coherent set of beliefs beyond provocation veiled in stormfront shitposts. There's no mobility for the 764 kids. there's only being a pawn.
he was a detransitioner according to his own words. he wasn't even trans. NY post has reported on this among a few others.
Do you mind linking me to an official source stating this please? I mean the Conservative media would ignore this but it would be nice to know
i mean it's purposely being suppressed and ignored, but I'll see if i can find more info from someone that isn't NY post.
Appreciate it 🙏 I'd look myself but I genuinely dont have the mental or emotional space to sift through all the transphobic narrativising rn
I ran out of time, so I'll have to get back to you on this. it's not easy to find because nobody wants to actually show the manifesto and videos.
That's fair
Please tag me too, if you think about it? Something has really felt Not Right about this - you know, even beyond the ONA and Atomwaffen connections. I've watched some of their videos and read the note and there are SO many inconsistencies. It reeks of methodical ONA manipulation.
will do^.^
i read it and the shooter basically said she just wished she was a woman to begin with and regretted that she couldn't afford surgery, so i think it was more self-loathing and bitterness at not being able to successfully transition(which i can unfortunately relate to)
There's a very specific, uncommon kind of groyper 4channer that "goes trans as a troll" to get a rise out of others, and their genuine feelings on gender can be inscrutable, even to themselves. This person sounds like one of this type.
detransitioning because you're tired of being trans doesn't mean you aren't trans. Lots of detransitioners are trans people
I mean you're not wrong in a technical sense but using the term "brainwashed" to describe yourself as identifying outside your birth assigned gender certainly reads like some "ex gay" type bullshit. People that choose to go back in the closet for safety reasons do not typically talk like this.
I mean we could go back and forth arguing the shooter only closeted themselves to gain acceptance from his far right peers but that's pure conjecture. We should trust what people say about their identity and since this person said he was brainwash into womanhood we should trust they died a cis man.
if you detransition and say you, "brainwashed" yourself to be trans then you aren't trans.
have you really never met someone who detransitioned because they were surrounded by transphobia? They say crazy transphobic shit, and then often end up transitioning later once they get out of whatever community they are in. I know 2 trans people who went down a right-wing pipeline, they recovered
some don't recover. But let's not pretend like EVERY person that dies in a closet is cishet, that's a really wild claim
that wasn't the claim made. what the fuck are you on about?
I dont give a shit. do you consider Chloe Cole trans? you consider every fascist detransitioner trans? what are you even trying to prove here?
you claimed that detransitioning is proof of not being trans, and I'm saying that it is not proof, because the leading cause for detransition is lack of support, not actually being cis
I said this guy was not trans because he was a fascist detransitioner. you are fighting shadows.
yeah, and that's faulty logic. You can be a trans detransitioner, that is the MOST common type of detransitioner
You're pissin me off. shut the fuck up until you can figure out how context works.
