TranscriptScreenshot of a Tumblr post by sonicguillotine:

For the past few years any time there’s a public shooting, political or not, fascists immediately begin pushing a narrative that the shooter had some connection to the trans community, anarchist or communist politics, to migrant or Black communities. These are always tenuous claims but now with multiple racist lynchings following Kirk’s death, it’s time to recognize the danger of these kinds of mythmakings. They are calls to violence.

It's incredibly hypercritical to call out the right starting narratives before any evidence is released, while doing THE SAME EXACT THING!!! In your own damn post. I feel like I'm going crazy. This post gave me brain damage. I should expect this type of thing these days but good grief.
