Screenshot of a Tumblr post by sonicguillotine:
For the past few years any time there’s a public shooting, political or not, fascists immediately begin pushing a narrative that the shooter had some connection to the trans community, anarchist or communist politics, to migrant or Black communities. These are always tenuous claims but now with multiple racist lynchings following Kirk’s death, it’s time to recognize the danger of these kinds of mythmakings. They are calls to violence.
you’re part of the problem if all you do is roll your eyes. the lies of the fascists are killing people
Look, I get your rage but people do not owe their lives to the cause of good to merely not be seen as a “problem”. They just don’t.
What exactly would they have to do to no longer been seen as your enemy? And why exactly do you think they would decide to change their ways when you decide that is what they are for merely existing and not throwing themselves against the fascists to be gutted? They’re just going to double down and say ‘fuck you’. And they would be right to if I am completely honest.
