Do the implications here worry anyone else? (midwest.social)

Before I begin, I should clarify 1) I firmly stand against the transphobia that has seen a rise since yesterday 2) I don't condone violence like what happened either, and 3) I don't fully know how the papacy structure currently works

When the Bolsheviks killed the Romanovs, the pope at the time instantly canonized the Romanovs and that was the biggest PR blow to the Bolsheviks. Today there's a pope who people show pride in as being from America, specifically Chicago. And he even speaks English. Anything he or even a top cardinal says on the Minneapolis matter is going to have weight when it comes to trans individuals. I guess my question is, if I am to say I fear that the shooter awakened a sleeping giant, how do we, you know, put the giant back to sleep without it misstepping anywhere? This isn't just a worrywort talking, I've seen shit happen and know how things can go downhill fast. There must be some emergency "halt papal discussion of the topic" button somewhere.

You don't, but I promise you that a random American kid with no ties to Russia didn't write an entire journal in cerrylic (including a lot of russian phrases) and then slowly thumb through it on camera while not showing their face or saying anything. It was a video made for russian TV to enforce anti LGBTQ laws in Russia and demonise the west as a bunch of mentally ill psychopaths. As for the girl in question it wouldn't surprise me if she were executed off site and placed at the scene.

Was that what the manifesto video was? I was early to the news but too late to see her manifesto part before it was blocked out. Though without having seen it and having just heard about it, I found it absurd she expected nobody to do anything about it, like it was just going to stay on display after she had died.
