Noticing this common sentiment that boils down to "so what, if I just want to be a complete asshole to a random stranger, that makes me a bad person?" and like... yeah? What are you confused about here?

biden saw the new data that all the transphobia was deeply unpopular even among republicans and thought "hmm now this is some shit i can get behind" because democrats hate doing anything popular

[Ari Drennen @AriDrennen]

It’s always smart to be skeptical of the implicitly reactionary idea that the past was a gentler, more civil time. It was not.

Matt Walsh says trans people today are comparing ourselves to Jewish people in the Holocaust

Incorrect. We are comparing ourselves to trans people in the Holocaust

[A.R. Moxon 🦋 @JuliusGoat]

This is the "round them up" part of the well-known process that starts with 'just asking questions."

Which is why many of us understand those "just asking questions" about trans people to be motivated by something other than love of free speech and open discourse.

Damn it's been a while since we've had straight up "we need to eliminate you" language. Anyway, if you want to "eliminate" my transgenderism I will meet that attempt with gunfire

i checked out the vod and it's 99% in support of them and a handful of people saying mild shit like "disappointed in you for supporting jkr" but the streamers take it really personally and go on an anti-jkr rant then get really upset and take a break, weak

context-collapsers rely on that people don't dig for original sources, they get angry, take away that the target is bad, and go about their days. the defence side of the context-collapse attack is that the victim is prevented from talking about it without 'attacking a [blank]'

[christina 死神 @chhopsky]

a context-collapse attack is one in which an attacker misrepresents a post containing keywords as bigotry, and uses the resulting fallout to drive traffic out of context. successful context-collapser attackers usually hide behind identity or account size to avoid criticism

[The Marshall McLuhan LP @fireh9lly]

This feels like the common thread for shitty online activism cults to me - they aren't interested in building a world, just in punishment. If they are supportive to each other it's usually just insincere lovebombing to encourage each other to post harder

[SLUG @generalslug]

if whatever shit you’re on is encouraging you to adopt increasingly uncharitable attitudes about people you encounter every day on the street (all men in general, friendly neighbors, etc) you are on a very dark path

[Cartoons Hate Her! @CartoonsHateHer]

A good amount of Twitter is like:

Yes, I’m a leftist. Yes, I want to live in a collective communal society where we all take care of each other. No, I don’t want to ever interact with another human and I perceive all human interaction as an oppressive threat. We exist.
