And does “purge” mean violence to you?
In this context yes.
Yes, you are auth-left.
No I’m not.
I am a liberal, but that’s all I am going to say about myself.
No, you’re just a troll on a 1 day old account.

Did you just link to a comment I didn’t make?
Lemmy has shitty links, and yours got buried by downvotes. Read the third one down:
The delusions of auth-left never ceases to amaze me.
I’m not auth left. But thanks for the insult, it’s nicer to know that I’m dealing with a literal child.
What are you even talking about?
Are you going to address what I said?
Mate, here’s a great example of you intentionally pissing everyone off.
… by simply existing evidently.
But you’re still managed to piss everyone off, while maintaining a thin facade of civility.
If bringing up straight facts is enough to piss people off, then you guys are the problem, not me or the facts.
you aren’t here to discuss or anything
Then why the fuck would I be putting in the tiniest bit of effort? Trolls don’t put effort in.
The whole “what could have stopped X” question is a loaded one. But regardless, the answer is gun control, and U.S. law should learn from modern German law:

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/london-evening-standard/
It’s crazy how even this right wing sources seems to understand that gun control is necessary and a requirement for low gun death rates, given that they admit right at the begging of the article that they have amongst the lowest death rates out there.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-related_death_rate
Total:
Germany: 1.04/capita
United States: 12.21/capita
Homicide only:
Germany: 0.06/capita
United States: 4.46/capita
If more guns & lax gun laws made us safe, we would should expect to see the opposite. Yet we don’t, because anybody with half a brain understands that a tool whose purpose is to kill as easily as possible will make killing easier when it is around untrained people/people with insufficient reason to own it/people who store them poorly.
That’s a 75x smaller gun homicide rate. We aren’t going to get that small of a rate without gun control.
Inb4 somebody calls me a troll despite putting effort into this: fuck off
You cannot attack an ideology without attacking the people who make up that ideology. They cannot be cleanly distinguished from each other.
Quit your bullshit. Dunking on shitty beliefs does not equate to killing or hurting people like you were suggesting.
This means attacking the people.
Good job moving the goal posts. First it was purging. Now it’s being made out to be social pariahs. Pick one, and quit equating scorn with violence.
You are mocking a call to violence in which there is none. They’re saying conservatism (the belief, the ideology) needs to die.
Conservatives should be openly mocked and ridiculed for their cruelty and violence. They should be laughed out of office.
I’m am not /u/HandBreadedTools. Go ask them.
Right, it’s easy to just make up your mind about something (with no evidence)
“I don’t trust X” != “I’ve made up my mind”
That is not at all what they are saying.
Its like posting pictures of dogs in a cat sub, it just doesnt belong.
But the moment somebody posts a picture of a cat* wearing a nazi arm band, it gets deleted, despite quite a lot of cats* supporting/being complacent of nazis.
Trans people are a part of the LGBTQ+, so this is nothing new. It’s just a continuation or a long history of violence against the LGBTQ+
Well, if Nex’s sexual identity indeed was the reason they are dead, and all this had taken place, say, 20 years ago, nobody would’ve died because nobody would’ve asserted their sexual identity in public.
Not only is that not true, people have been coming out since humans existed, it’s also wrong. You’re confusing sexual identity with gender identity.
Regardless, all you are doing is victim blaming. Nobody should get beaten to death for how they express themselves. This is supposed to be the land of the free, not the land of the beatings for people society deems weird.
You may very well argue that something is wrong that when it has consequences, but that argument doesn’t yet remove the consequences.
The consequences for self expression should not be death, much less vigilante beatings that result in death. And your appathy is frankly disgusting, and a part of the problem.
A few weeks ago, on 7 February, the bullying allegedly erupted in violence when Nex suffered severe head injuries during a “physical altercation” at Owasso High School, according to the Owasso Police Department.
Sue Benedict told The Independent she was called to the school that day to find Nex badly beaten with bruises over their face and eyes, and with scratches on the back of their head.
Nex told her that they and another transgender student at Owasso High School had been in a fight with three older girls in a girls bathroom. Nex was knocked to the ground during the fight and hit their head on the floor, according to their mother.
Ms Benedict said she was furious that the school had failed to call an ambulance or the police. She said the school then informed her Nex was being suspended for two weeks.
She took Nex to the Bailey Medical Center in Owasso for treatment. They spoke to a police school resource officer at the medical facility and were discharged.
That night, Nex went to bed with a sore head and eventually fell asleep while listening to music, Ms Benedict said.
On the afternoon of 8 February, Nex was getting ready to go to Tulsa with Ms Benedict for an appointment when they collapsed in the family living room.
Ms Benedict called an ambulance, and Owasso Fire Department medics arrived to find Nex had stopped breathing. Nex was taken to the St. Francis Pediatric Emergency Room where they were later declared dead.
This child’s blood is on their hands. Not just the kids who did the physical beating, but also the conservatives who set up a culture where this is acceptable.
Try to join the rest of us in reality when you can.
Tell me honestly, what grade school level are you in?
All he did was post the worksheet and claimed he won.
A quick reading of the actual material is all it takes to show this article to be full of shit.
No it does not. It does not say that reading and writing is a characteristic of white supremacy.
It’s obviously trying to conflate the two.
No, it’s not. It’s defining the phrase.
It is saying:
Is defined by:
It say nothing about the love of reading or writing, or contracts. And what’s worse is that they are very clearly saying that “worship of the written word” is a characteristic/trait of white supremacy, not white supremacy. So you’re missing (it seems willfully at this point) the meaning of what they are saying.
If you asked any random person what worshiping the written word was
If you did that, you’d get a million different answers. And that’s why they defined it:
they’d probably say “loving reading” or “loving writing” or something to that effect.
You’re just pulling this out of you ass.
It’s super obvious propaganda.
All you’re doing is making up a meaning that very clearly isn’t there, and then getting upset over your own made up meaning.
Most people disagree with conservative politics, and that goes doubly so for the fediverse. The voting system is more or less a agree/disagree system. And you are posting this to bolster Trump’s image.
Couple those together and it’s pretty straightforward why this got downvoted.
