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.

The shooter literally had a trans boyfriend and shot Charlie Kirk because he was "hateful" and a "fascist". The left trying to turn this around isn't funny, its dangerous.

    He shot Kirk because he was not fascist enough.

    Hello! This is incorrect. Please check the latest news headlines or if that isn't enough, people found his social media.

    Unless you mean that Tyler Robinson was not fascist enough. Maybe if he was not obsessed with the idea of "anti fascism" to the point of being convinced to murder political opponents, he could have been a decent member of society instead of facing a firing squad.

    The latest news I have seen are a couple days old but none of them ever stated that he killed him because of any trans rights or anything similar.

    I will also not be looking at any social media because I have stopped using those years ago.

    The right trying to spin that this is a problem with the left or trans people generally is dangerous. Shooters from the right murdered democratic politicians and made attempts on their own candidates and people. It's not the left. The entire damn country right, left and center is at a flash point because of the policies that are getting enacted by this government and the relief that isn't coming and they are using the rhetoric of a trans person, who was only tangentially involved, for calls to persecute all trans people as terrorists or imprison them in mental institutions. Laws are coming into effect so that a trans person posting a fully clothed picture of themselves online could be considered porn. They are creating a class of "non person" who cannot be seen or heard or walk free simply because they are exercising their freedom to exist as they choose to. Wear clothes that they want and find happiness in their own way.

    The Government is censoring media, calling for people's dismissal and vowing direct personal vengeance on private citizens who criticize this influencer. This is what a real collapse of freedom of speech looks like. If you have any claim to care about free speech some trans person with a violent roommate reacting on behalf of their misery in ways they likey didn't even ask for isn't your priority.

    Yeah. It's just as fucked up for the left to do it too and it's weird that people are blind to that fact. The kid is still alive, there's no reason to speculate about his politics when someone can literally just ask him.

    It doesn't really matter anyway unless he was part of some conspiracy and if that's the case why go after Kirk and not someone that actually matters?
