We’ve already seen this play out in the UK with immigration. If you tell voters “hey, the other guy has a point,” voters don’t think you’re reasonable or moderate or independent. They think “well in that case I’ll vote for him, thanks”

if you are a Dem who for whatever reason does not feel comfortable actively defending trans rights (which you should) you have two good response options: 1. ignore it! just keep running ads about the economy 2. “I am focused on your pocketbook, my opponent is focused on children’s genitals”

It's incredibly dangerous to spread this sort of thing, lauding Luigi Mangione as a "folk hero", in case others are inspired to go after other CEOs! Can you imagine the sort of world we would live in if CEOs had to care about the plight of common people?

translation: telling trans people 'enjoy the camps' is not an actionable form of harassment but multiple people yelling at that person for saying it constitutes harassment and they will be suspended. oh hey look at that, /accidentally/ you've created a ruling which says only the trannies get banned

For context here, a user was responding in a thread to other users (unrelated to the original post) when they used the phrase "Trans rights or Trans camps. You chose the camps and you're blaming Dems" followed by profanity.

> is this user toxic? undeniably yes.

Follow
Are they threatening trans users directly? No. Trans folks in the US have been targeted repeatedly. That's awful and you have my sympathy.

Within the context of a single post we wouldn't consider it a direct threat or targeting a protected category. Ie send trans folks to concentration camps.

More broadly, does repeatedly attacking someone in a thread count towards harassment? Yes. Harassment is brutally hard to moderate though. It's a combination of behaviour + content, and the second you publish the details of the rules, people change their behaviour to avoid enforcement.

The GCs are uniting in their grief over Rod Liddle's death, a man who assaulted his young pregnant girlfriend and said he couldn't be a teacher because he'd rape the kids. He was also a vicious racist, long before it was so profitable. He hated trans people, so, to these 'feminists' he's a hero.

Rod Liddle was a piece of shit in both his private and public life, and it speaks to the state of British media that they're praising the man. He presaged the steep downward decline of British broadsheet print columnists into increasingly open racism, misogyny, and hatred of queer people.
