A 66-year-old mother of 9 was murdered by a deranged wingnut who was incensed that she had a pride flag outside her store. Her blood is on the hands of every right-winger who hasn't condemned their movement's relentless attacks on the #LGBTQ community.

This happened in the state of California, and I think it's time that the authorities started reporting if the murderer had a Trump or Desantis sticker on the getaway vehicle.

And the perp got into a gunfight with the cops and was killed.

It boggles the mind. How is the hate these people feel so important to them that they're willing to lose their lives over it?

I don't think I'll ever really be able to understand this.

Show threadTexty the BardAug 21, 2023

@GatekeepKen @JoshuaHolland Uh. Mental illnesses are medically diagnosable. Bigotry does not have roots in any diagnosable mental illness. For instance, I take medication for depression and ADHD. My son also takes ADHD meds and is autistic. Neither of us is remotely inclined to bigotry, much less violent bigotry.

Bigotry is a conscious choice and something people are personally responsible for. Blaming it on mental illness allows them to dodge that responsibility. Don't help them do that.

@GatekeepKen Ignorance is also a choice--one you're making right now, actually. It's not misfiring neurotransmitters.

Thanks Buddah, but you have know idea who I am or what I do. Ignorance is not a choice brain bank. Get over yourself ass wipe.

Show threadTexty the BardAug 21, 2023

@GatekeepKen Ignorance IS a choice. If there is information out there about something and you refuse to actually go learn, that's a choice. It's not a learning disability or a brain chemistry issue. It's a full, conscious choice. And right now, you're Exhibit A for that choice.

Let me get you started on reading up on this: https://www.nami.org/Your-Journey/Identity-and-Cultural-Dimensions/People-with-Disabilities

People with Disabilities | NAMI: National Alliance on Mental Illness

For many people living with disabilities, physical care is seen as the first priority ā€” but when a disability impacts a personā€™s quality of life, it can have a direct effect on all aspects of their well-being and daily experiences.

@JoshuaHolland horrible.

I would never harm anyone. Nor would I give up my right to be against the continuing push of woke/trans ideology. I have no issues with LGB, but issues with all the letters that come after. Let's just be clear where the lines are: you do not hurt other people (physically, emotionally is a bit hard with some...).

If we are talking left/right: how about condemning Antifa/BLM/ER? Mass riots, people killed and wounded, massive property damage.

Free speech is fine. Period.

@mark pushing that propaganda about "trans/ woke ideology" makes you culpable. There is no such thing as trans ideology. These people are trying to live their lives.

@mark

fascist speech isnā€™t free speech. But yā€™alls donā€™t care because thatā€™s what fascism is all about.

Thanks to fascism, lives no longer matters. Thanks to fascism peopleā€™s right to exist no longer matters.
Thanks to fascism truth no longer matters.

We know what fascism is capable of. To fight it with violence is self defense. Being antifa means being anti-fascist. So do we no longer believe in the right to self defense?

thatā€™s what fascism does. It takes freedom and weaponizes it by saying that these rights only apply to some, not all.
