Are you concerned about the trends of anti-trans incitement to violence? (lemmy.world)

There was a growing pattern of Influential conservatives blaming trans people for mass shootings. This trend seems to be as recent as August 28th or 2 weeks ago.

With charlie kirk's death, and people speculating he was killed by a trans person, it seems like that's going to further incite and escalate things. For example, Jesse Waters eluded that trans shooters were attacking conservatives, especially Trump & Charlie, effectively inciting violence to LGBTQ people.

In my personal opinon, I'd say avoid LGBT centers, parades, crowds. Staying home is a safe option, avoid being openly queer in public areas. That's my two cents. It's not a safe time right now.

That’s the problem here.

You want to fight

You think you can just "disengage" and the fight will stop...

This isn't taking a punch and turning the other cheek with just a black eye.

If you don't understand how serious shit is, stop telling people to let horrible shit happen to them and others.

This is hatemongering. May you be happy

I hope you're just a child trolling and not actually incapable of understanding how dangerous your "advice" is...

But you're a two-day account that started spam posting about how no matter what happens, no one should ever use violence against fascism.

In any case. Everyone else in America would be better off if you stopped talking and started paying attention instead. Not just to what's happening now, but history as well

Ignorance kills, and it's rarely the ignorant who pay the price

As an adult, I stopped caring about childish things like acting grown up. Also as an adult, we care for the vulnerable, and that means no war zones. War is not safe for children. Children get into fights. Adults break them up.
