The FBI is reportedly trying to categorize trans people as “Nihilistic Violent Extremists” (NVEs).

They seem emboldened by the Kirk shooting despite the fact that it was not committed by a trans person.

If you’re cis, and especially if you’re cis and white, please step up.

Speak out. Protect trans people. This is a test to see if we’re willing to sacrifice the basic human rights of an entire group of people. We must say “no”.

Trans rights are human rights.

@broadwaybabyto This seems to be a brand new term. Just doing a quick duck search and it's all over the place starting around May but if you limit time to at least a year old it's nowhere....a bunch of articles about right wing incels is all you get.

It's all over the fucking place now though and seems to have been for a few months here....just enough history to give it legitimacy.

@crazyeddie @broadwaybabyto there is a reasonable set of groups that could I could see labeled as NVE: O9A, 764, anything inspired by Mason/Manson and Seige, TCC, incels. The thing is that most of these are already right wing extremists so they're just going to arbitrarily slap that label on trans folks instead of anything connected to any kind of shared reality.

@Hex @broadwaybabyto Calling Manson a Nihilist just seems like a massive stretch to me. There's no reason I know of to think he holds the nihilist perspective on life. Quite the opposite in fact, he seems quite insistent that his life in particular has a special meaning beyond others.

There is very little reason for a nihilist to actually kill anyone. They Groyper idiots--or however you call them--but turning entropy into a religion doesn't seem like nihilism either. That's the Doomguard.
