Part of how they can run with the "trans treatment is experimental!" canard, is that they fucking burned the research almost a century ago.

Yup. Even the Nazis didn't full Nazi right away. Don't think it can't happen here.

The money won't dry up.

There're plenty of people out there who do blame "the Jews" or "the Gays" or "the Immigrants" or "the Others" dor all their problems.

They also think they are the heros making a sacrifice by doing the lesser evil in their own stories.

Somehow I don’t think rebroadcasting this to an even larger audience is a good idea considering this person is already voluntarily posting a video of them book burning without a shred of irony.

I don’t think the people that they are appealing to will be dissuaded by a contrasting video. They’d probably see the comparison as flattering.

That is why I think the "The Cruelty Is the Point" Article by Adam Serwer in 2018 was so important.

The ones who burned the books were always on the wrong side of history. Yet, they still do it. And I guess it is because the vile and harassing actions is an integral part of these people. The pain and suffering they bring to the people around them is what makes them feel good. They want to harm and destroy and are actively looking for people who cheer for them when they do. They want to find the people and the places where they can act in utterly disgrace and inhumane behaviour and are not ejected, but promoted. They are desperate to live out their inner cruel behavior as this is what brings them joy. This woman would literally fuck a guy who strangled a LGBTQ Member in front of her.

Adam Serwer:

But it’s not the burned, mutilated bodies that stick with me. It’s the faces of the white men in the crowd. There’s the photo of the lynching of Thomas Shipp and Abram Smith in Indiana in 1930, in which a white man can be seen grinning at the camera as he tenderly holds the hand of his wife or girlfriend. There’s the undated photo from Duluth, Minnesota, in which grinning white men stand next to the mutilated, half-naked bodies of two men lashed to a post in the street—one of the white men is straining to get into the picture, his smile cutting from ear to ear. There’s the photo of a crowd of white men huddled behind the smoldering corpse of a man burned to death; one of them is wearing a smart suit, a fedora hat, and a bright smile.

Their names have mostly been lost to time. But these grinning men were someone’s brother, son, husband, father. They were human beings, people who took immense pleasure in the utter cruelty of torturing others to death—and were so proud of doing so that they posed for photographs with their handiwork, jostling to ensure they caught the eye of the lens, so that the world would know they’d been there. Their cruelty made them feel good, it made them feel proud, it made them feel happy. And it made them feel closer to one another.

It's not meant to make them look like the good guy, it's meant to make them look like the guy who's willing to "do what it takes to end the woke agenda." The way you get a bunch of people to support evil isn't by convincing them it's good, but by convincing them it's necessary.

Are we the baddies?

“Do you ever read any of the books you burn?”

He laughed. “That’s against the law!”

“Oh. Of course.”

~Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

Next she'll be burning people and defending her actions by saying "they weren't really people by their own admissions"

So what about the LGBTQ children.

They don't believe such a thing exists until gay people turn them gay.

Really.

That's the "gay agenda" they always talk about. Gay people using the homosexual magic.

Oh the right is all about final solutions.

It's so easy to torch conservatives, convert if you will, with just a little knowledge. Like over here at the librar...oh. Never mind.

no matter what side of the political spectrum you are on

Well see, that's your problem. You're ignoring the fact that one end of the political spectrum adores fascism.

These are Christians doing the book burning (again). Their love language is making people other than themselves "feel icky."

Nearly every atrocity throughout history has had a Christian standing with a smirk watching what they caused with glee.

That's the big question. What is it psychologically behind such pathologically cruel and hateful people?

I've met so many adults over the years who have said "I've never read a novel in my life". I'd ask about required reading during school. Nope. Absolutely blew my mind the first time it happened. I've begun to really believe that a large percentage of the US population has no internal values or morals. Like not even the concept. Just external ones that they try to push on people.

In other words, a perfect candidate for the con cult, oops, I mean "party".

What fucking sucks is that, while it may (or may not) initially just be posturing, this signalling is normalizing the craziness among their base. A non-zero amount of people will see this and think, "Hey! That's a good idea!" and replicate it.

It's always projection with the qons. ALWAYS.
