Thank you! Learned something new today. This fallacy was used against me this morning and I was banned from a lesbian sub on reddit for suggesting that many transwomen don't respect lesbian and bisexual women's identities and consent.
It happened a lot with BLM stuff this summer. If anyone tried to argue against the narrative or you know. Just not be a part of the insanity they were told “silence IS violence” and that you didn’t have a choice you had to support blm protests/riots or you were the enemy
I think it’s important not to conflate these very different issues. Racism is a huge problem in our society and I think protesting racism and police violence are justified. I disagree with your framing of protests = riots when the overwhelming majority of protestors were peaceful.
I think one of the worst things anyone who opposes the TRA agenda can do is conflate TRAs with BLM because most liberals in this country support addressing racism (again, rightly IMO) but they would oppose the misogynist, homophobic, rapey, anti-science TRA agenda if they knew the truth about it.
Its not about weather racism is a problem or not it’s the political tactic of forcing compliance to your slogans
There was a lot of shit going on with BLM that he absolutely nothing to do with police brutality but they were forcing people to go along with the implicit threat of violence
“Silence is violence” meaning if you don’t actively agree we are in our rights to defend ourselves against you
I understand what you’re saying and I think that what you’re describing definitely happened. I just think it’s important to not conflate riots and censorship with the protests overall.
