This guy is such a slob and a loser. A lazy-do-nothing. Seriously, if he was not vice president, any reasonable person would tell him to shut up about his petty thoughts and go do something useful. and we have to listen to his BS. Goddamit.
I’m not afraid of trans people.
doth protest too much, methinks
This is the correct tactic. Those assholes never fact check anyway. What i mean is that it doesn’t matter if the quote is real or not.
Careful. This might be why mossad offed him.
JD is trans
I always thought he was homosectional.
No, don’t do that.
Misgendering isn’t a joke, and neither is being trans.
It’s obvious he’s closet in some way. And every accusation is confession.
Ergo.
I see what you’re saying, but the moral high ground was lost long ago.
Fuck the moral highground, it’s about not being an arsehole to trans people.
I’m not the one calling them terrorists. Point your anger over there.
I did, and I did here, and I will anywhere else I see it.
First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for meThey actually went after trans people first last time as well.
Oh. Look at you ‘knowing history’ and ‘telling the truth’. Has that ever helped you?
So are you saying that I shouldn’t know history, or that I shouldn’t tell the truth, or are you saying I shouldn’t learn about history?
Just curious what your point was?
Depends on what you count as “first”. The communist groups (that likely had trans people in them) were the first placed into concentration camps.
You’re likely referring to the first Nazi book burning which included sexual health literature on trans healthcare.
That is true, the Nazi’s didn’t go after sexual minorities until 1934, but persecutions began for socialists, communists and sexual minorities (as their supporters were largely overlapped) years before that. I mostly have a burr in my britches over Niemöller leaving out other victims of the holocaust like the Roma and what today would be called LBGT+ people. But it’s not a competition, the poem’s point stands that the Nazis come for everyone eventually because fascist ideology is intrinsically corrosive - it needs a constant threat to justify it’s ever-consuming need for power.
“First they came for the trans people, but I didn’t speak out because nobody ever even fucking told me they did this until like last year like wtf…”
they went after a Jewish sexologist who studied and advocated for trans people, so the Nazis really killed two birds with one stone. :|
It really was a twofer to paint both with the brush of sexual immorality. Weimar Germany was the center of a sexual reform movement that promoted birth control for women, equal rights for both sexes, acceptance of sexual minorities, legalization and regulation of sex work and more. It was really ahead of its time.
Then the Nazis came along and found common ground with the conservative religious groups to demonize and then victimize everyone involved.
It’s just… I know history doesn’t repeat itself, but goddamn does it rhyme.
History sure does rhyme. Unfortunately, it’s because authoritarians learn from the failings of others
I don’t think we’ll see the end stages of Nazi Germany in the US. That’s what brought down Hitler. Putin and modern Russia is a much better example of what we could see going forward
Much easier to keep people in line when the atrocities are vague and plausibly denied
Who could have seen this coming?
it’s a mystery. No one could have predicted this. I bet kamala would have been much worse, because she’s a democrat /s
“We upset the status quo by not voting for Democrats”
“For the better, right?”
A bunch of shit Nazis, obsessed with other people’s genitals.
They always were
This is a sad day. We all know this sprung from Charlie Kirk. A podcaster that got killed by a straight white male.
So, it makes perfect sense to target trans people. Fuck these bastards.
This was already in motion before the assassination. Kirk was literally in the process of claiming trans people are dangerous killers when he was murdered. The regime is just taking advantage of the assassination to accelerate a plan they were working on.
I said this before tonight but Kirk was a piece of shit, but he wasn’t just a podcaster. He was hugely influential in getting younger folks to lean heavily right. Like… this might be the biggest political assassination in our lifetimes. I heavily recommend the latest episode of the TrueAnon podcast if you don’t believe me. They cover the extent of his his evil reach much better than I can.
These guys are so scared of having to face their confusing feelings that they will go to extraordinary lengths like running for office, rising through the ranks and using their power to avoid temptation.
Just admit it to yourselves and everyone will be happier.
Trans people do not seem like a threat.
our existence is a threat to traditional gender roles and family structure. the real thing they fear is “social contagion” - that trans kids will see us living happy lives, and realize they can transition too. they’re afraid of gay people for similar reasons, but physical transition is a whole new level - they have a visceral reaction against it, like their innocent child has been irrevocably, physically corrupted.
they realized that using their existing levers of power (cutting off funding, changing curriculum, ID laws etc.) won’t do shit: we can DIY hormones, socialize on the internet and look out for each other. so now they become increasingly authoritarian, hence designating us as “domestic extremists” and calling for our forced institutionalization.
the Heritage foundation is handling us like the SCP foundation handles a Keter-class anomaly.
our existence is a threat to traditional gender roles and family structure.
No, those are the euphemisms the fascists use. The word you’re really looking for is “patriarchy”.
Don’t let the enemy control the conversation.
And yet this will not be the first time we suffer for the sins of cis people
neither were/are gay/bi people. Still got thrown in prison for the last few hundred years for daring to love.
Not to anything that doesnt deserve to burn, no.
But…
If they are such a threat then the FBI must have a big list of all the criminals and murders they have arrested, who were trans, that they have based this information on?
Surely…?
“A right wing podcaster got killed by a fan of another right wing podcaster, which is why we’re declaring that trans people are terrorists.”
Iraq war logic, Nazi edition.
I’m trans too if they’re coming for you. Not all cis people look like Fox News anchors so there’s no doubt we won’t be exempt. I already removed some of my reproductive organs in response to Roe going down, I have no problem supporting people who want to do what they choose to their bodies.
