“I can say that he has been very cooperative,” Cox continued, possibly misgendering the roommate. “This partner has been incredibly cooperative, had no idea that this was happening and is working with investigators right now.”
This has to be intentional. Shitting in one hand calling it “civility” then in the other lobbing a grenade of transphobia. Love it.
That’s certainly a take that you’re entitled to, but not one that I can relate to. I don’t think Hitler’s ideas would be less popular today if he were still alive to act on them. America has been killing and criminalizing marginalized people for more than two centuries. Even the people who are nominally fans of Kirk couldn’t make it more clear that they truly could not give less of a shit about him. They hated trans people and leftists yesterday, they hate them today, they’ll hate them tomorrow. The sun rose the day before Kirk died, and it rose again the day after. This is the long, continuous, and inevitable result of imperial decay, not a consequence of one rando tripping over his dick and landing on the button turns America into a genocidal settler colony.
There’s no way this isn’t going to sound accusatory, but I don’t mean it as an accusation: If someone on this site accepts the premise that we are ruled by fascists who hate them unconditionally and want to see them dead, and believes that they can secure favorable treatment for themselves by proactively reaching out to the fascists to mark their friends, neighbors and family for death, why should anyone on this site believe that such a person wouldn’t dox everyone here at the first opportunity?
None of this is a reply to what I said, really.
I agree with everything you just said in the first paragraph. I’m talking about making any sort of organized preparations before taking action to resist or anything. That didn’t happen, so the acceleration of the hate and violence was worsened with no viable way to see any benefit. Kirk was a fascist and I’m glad he’s dead so we don’t have to hear him anymore with his fascist bullshit. But that doesn’t make it any less dangerous that he was killed without any way for the vulnerable in the US to defend themselves. The killer would’ve done at least some benefit by doing disorganized mutual aid.
The second paragraph also has nothing to do with what I said. This person didn’t “reach out to fascists to mark their friend for death,” that he would be killed for it was set in stone pretty early on. And I’m not speaking about doing something for ones own benefit, Im talking about being willing to throw away someone working against a greater goal (who knows if that’s this case? Above we were already talking in hypotheticals, so I’m still doing that).
