-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Are you serious? From what I can tell, she met Donald Trump because "a deadly storm pummeled the area" in 2019. I'm not trying to deny that she was a prominent member of her very conservative community, but she did not "choose" to be born there as a trans woman. She chose to live her life and survive while participating in the community she was born into. I'm sorry if I don't think that's enough to call her an SS officer who fucking deserved to die.
Actually, I'm not sorry. Go fuck yourself.
It seems like a more accurate comparison would be SS officer whom we haven't proven personally did crimes, which is still pretty bad.
But putting completely aside whether her actions or associations were evil enough to warrant whatever, I agree with you this situation is still awful, because it's just chuds indirectly killing someone for being trans. They sure didn't target her for hypocrisy or whatever bad republican shit she supported. They just see it as a trans person they got to drive to suicide, nothing more.
It just feels weird to insist on painting some random dead trans woman as an SS officer. Look, I'm not going to sit here and pretend like it's impossible that she had terrible political opinions. But it's not impossible that she didn't, she was just the mayor of a city with a population of 6,500. I think at that level it's still possible to just be a normal person, but idk.
The whole point of that article is that there's no evidence she actually did contribute to those policies. You're literally just doing the team sports we mock libs for, I highly doubt you'd be celebrating a trans woman's outing and suicide if she was blue.
I'm sure she had bad politics, she probably wasn't a leftist by any stretch, but most of the awful, horrid shit this monstrous system does is to people who are not perfect victims. She died because chuds killed her, so quit cheering with the chuds.
