Prediction: if any "radically pro-transgender" violent group is ever discovered, it will eventually be traced back to an FBI black operation started under Kash Patel (or to the KGB, or similar).
With the right, it's ALWAYS projection.
@cstross I've said before that you know us trans are pretty non-violent because we weren't, we live in a pretty target-rich environment and yet no one is getting beaten up by a roving back of angry dolls.
So yeah. It's definitely gonna be an FBI plant if it ever happens
It certainly tracks too that the Trump Court wants to stamp down on, in their very own words, 'anti-Fascist' groups.
@cstross I mean, plenty of people have, right out in the open, made excuses for why they don't have to listen to trans people. If they're worried about radicalism, maybe they shouldn't have shut down the more moderate approach.
Recently I've been thinking that authoritarians want violence because that's a fight they can win both physically and morally, and they have a strategy of penning people in and putting the pressure on to engineer that outcome.
“When it gets down to having to use violence, then you are playing the system’s game. The establishment will irritate you – pull your beard, flick your face – to make you fight. Because once they’ve got you violent, then they know how to handle you. The only thing they don’t know how to handle is non-violence and humor.”
― John Lennon
@cstross wow the language quoted in that article, take seems written to be shouted from a podium - gesticulating wildly, pounding the lectern, maybe with a little narrow moustache...
@dragonfrog Sebastian Gorka is an Orban-adjacent quasi-fascist American of Hungarian origin. The armband-wearing tub-thumping mode of discourse is his normal.
Prediction: They won't even need a black op. They'll just wag the dog and invent one out of whole cloth, cf "Antifa"
