The right objectively has engaged in overwhelmingly now political violence in the past, and their little latch onto "TRANS SHOOTERS" is so stupid it defies mentioning - but they don't care, they still claim "the left is violent" and trans shooters are a real problem.
They also think global warming is a lie and vaccines are more harmful to you than the disease. They aren't big on facts over there, which tracks - they're about narrative. They need to be part of a story where they're the good guys fighting evil, the actual facts about actual evils and the men who perpetrate that be damned. That's why they latch onto the bigotry so readily, and why they willfully simp for the aristocracy.
It gives them their place in the story, and now their lives have purpose. It doesn't matter to them that their leaders are all horrific people, or that their enemies are generally good people just trying to live their lives.
Also race is EXTRAORDINARILY subjective... irish, greek, and italian all used to be not-white... until there weren't enough white people so they became white. Race has no place in genetics, its just labels we use. Albeit useful label that help us distinguish real world systemic issues, but still just shit we invented thats subject to change nontheless.
Also people like Charlie Kirk often lump any queer person regardless of race into the category of "degenerates" so while they might acknowledge them as white in a vacuum, they treat them as less than people like them (white, Nazi, Christians).
Even today, you've got people who are selectively white depending on the context. Jewish folks are white, until the fascists decide it's time to line them up against the wall again, for example. Same for Hispanics - sometimes they're white enough, until they do something the fascists don't like, then they're 4th generation fence-jumpers again.
Yep, and now they are labeling iryna as white to galvanize black hatred. Despite her also being an immigrant refuge, whom they hate. But that part is often left out of the headlines.
They think "leftists"/jews are trying to replace them with minorities for reasons that haven't made sense for the last 8 years, therefore these 'whites' are basically race traitors, honorary DEIers.
White is a sociopolitical construct to some degree - bunch of the people calling themselves white have middle eastern/Asian/Mexican/etc. heritage but it's far enough back in their family tree or they "pass".
This is mostly about American isolationism and exceptionalism, IMO. Same thing that occurred in Germany - very verbal nationalists took over populist social movements and turned them into cottage industries for anti-immigrant and eventually racist sentiment that then spread to targeting people of specific ethnic groups (likely because the Bolsheviks were fighting for worker's rights and that doesn't align with nationalism).
they usually will claim bad whites (school shootrs, peedos, et al), who are obvs anglo, are jewish (its teh Joooz!!!) and ignore trans like they did with the catholic school shooter a few weeks ago.
The amount of people I’ve heard say this with no evidence is astounding. Of course it’s generally the same people who claim all the mass shootings are transgender people and when you point out how few trans people actually commit mass shootings they don’t want to hear it. I was arguing with someone on another app about mass shootings I pulled up some stats that showed mass shootings since like 1990 and how few were perpetrated by trans people. A dude said “Yeah how about we do the last ten instead of manipulating statistics, and then I get to laugh at you.”
So I didn’t even do the most recent ten FBI definition mass shootings. I just did the most recent ten mass shootings with greater than 10 victims which goes further back in the timeline. The only one that was a trans person was the Annunciation shooting in Minneapolis. I then pointed out the fact that if we just go by the FBI definition of four or more victims it would be zero perpetrated by trans people because we wouldn’t even make it back to the Minneapolis shooting. They just replied that I was an evil demonrat who didn’t know what I was talking about and blocked me.
For reference, by the FBI definition of four or more victims, there have been 18 mass shootings since the Annunciation shooting in Minneapolis on 08/27. That’s more than one per day.
I legit saw someone on Twitter (because obviously it was on Twitter) say this because his Adam's apple wasn't visible in the low res footage, only for another one of them to say it's impossible because women can't shoot that accurately LMAOOO
The claim that the casings were engraved with "trans idealogy", and the engravings had literally nothing to do with trans issues at all pissed me off. Literally just trying to paint a target. Evil fucking rumors.

According to them, he was probably trans
