The attacks claimed the lives of an Indiana woman and an Oregon man, both cisgender people.

The woman in Indiana was killed in the gazebo of her own apartment complex by a neighbor. I don’t think it should be necessary to carry a gun when you’re in a place like that. We shouldn’t have to be armed every time we so much as step out of our front door. That is not a society I want to live in.
Me neither but here we are. Arm yourselves , the enemy is doing it.
Security services have been warning us of inhouse terrorism for years. This is what we are seeing now.
The US for one could just stop their war on drugs, which has been ravaging the world for decades, and only has like 1% efficacy, and use that money in programs to prevent this. But unfortunately we no longer live in times where reason rules.
Zero-sum ideologies have taken over. We live in societies where other people’s gain are seen as our loss. And then what we get are huge society splits which will eventually and inevitably be the end of that society as it was.
(they left) US have made some progress in the war on drugs at least.
While that’s probably a joke, it should be said that even this is actually thanks to Taliban?
Yea, the US helped the war on drugs by selling less heroin. Who was guarding and smuggling it out? Poppy fields inreacesd dramatically during the occupation and dropped after. The US is a mayor part of the dugtrade
But why does it matter if the victims were cis people or not?
It shows people that it’s not just trans people at risk due to this violent rhetoric the right spews. Everyone is at risk of being targeted even if they are perceived as trans.
I’m a cis man, but I don’t have the deepest voice, and I’ve been worried about this kind of thing happening for a while since I live in the south, and it looks like I was right to worry.
It’s never about one group. It’s about all opposing the status quo . Fascist change targets based on what gives them power. Power over everyone.
