Every single action of attack or abuse towards streamers over a video game was an unacceptable response.

Sadly, none of the victims the author's beliefs are never going to hear the same about the people who leapt at the chance to invalidate their lives.

That's the whole point.
It's a conversation I don't really have interest in engaging with, specifically because it's been hand-crafted to (ONCE AGAIN) burden very single trans person and ally with the full responsibility of every person who acted against anyone they spoke out against.

But ONLY them.
This is a dance I've tried to join a thousand times, but the choreography is specifically written to maximize the chance my feet get stepped on; so I decline.

It's the same argument, from the same corner, that blames all seeking racial justice for looting while absolving 1/6ers.

An unremarked aspect of this fascinating thread is that the non-appearance of antifascists on the scene Jan. 6, played a critical role in the failure of Trump's coup attempt. 1/
Trump had been building the "Antifa/BLM/Violent Left" narrative all year, but he focused on Antifa particularly after he lost the election, and stepped up the vitriol. 2/
It is now apparent that this was part of his scheme to invoke the Insurrection Act amid massive crowd violence. The Jan. 5 timing of the memorandum declaring Antifa a "terrorist organization" was not coincidental. See the resolution's language. /3

“…all 10 then-living ex-secretaries of defense…warning the WH not to engage the military in its election challenge.”

“Efforts to involve the U.S. armed forces in resolving election disputes would take us into dangerous, unlawful and unconstitutional territory.”
“But then something happened that arguably altered the course of history. People on the left who’d spent four years actively resisting Trump in the streets shared a surprising new message in those two weeks ahead of the insurrection:
“Stay home on January 6. This was reinforced by a number of Democratic officials who pushed out the same message to both traditional leftists and Black Lives Matter activists.”

This is your daily pension announcement: LAPP laying the smack on Franco "the Turd" Terrazzano. Take a good read. This has more to do with Calgary politics than anything else...#ABLeg #donttakethebait

calgarysun.com/opinion/column…
If Franco had any cajones at all he woulds spend his time asking why AIMCO has two long term incentive programs (LTIP and Special LTIP). One incentive is not enough! And , he would ask the question why the compensation disclosure is incomplete in this regard. #ABLeg
Franco's motives are not hard to discern. He won't comment on the upper reaches of AIMCO because they have some hardcore UCP supporters in residence. The overlords are present here, trying to influence the Calgary election. #ABLeg
