I don't exaggerate when I say that Andrew Wakefield should be tried for mass murder. We'll never know how many people have died or will die as a direct result of his fraudulent study.
This is the large domino, with the small domino being some random quack in the UK in 1998 trying to undermine the existing MMR vaccine so his business partner can swoop in with his own. Instead he lost his work credentials and now kids are dying needlessly all over the world, so great job everyone.
Austria loses its WHO status as measles-free, too, together with Armenia, Azerbaijan Uzbekistan and Spain. This comes as no surprise, considering the rise in numbers in recent years and the decline in MMR vaccine coverage

Graham Linehan proves the point that trans liberationists have been saying from the start:
If you'll permit dehumanising and stripping the rights of trans people, you will dehumanise and strip the rights of anyone on a long enough timeline.
If you'll permit dehumanising and stripping the rights of trans people, you will dehumanise and strip the rights of anyone on a long enough timeline.
This is exactly the same playbook Graham Linehan uses against trans people, where defending trans rights is cast as defending "rape" and "paedophilia." He uses "rape" and "paedophilia" as punchlines, and, therefore, all of his hate speech and advocation for violence against his enemies is justified.

I think for a lot of them they just decided that everyone they disagree with is insincere so they give up on being sincere themselves
Almost every prominent 'gender critical' is justifying the execution of people in the street, saying they 'provoked' ICE.
For years, they categorised trans protests of their meetings (like making noise and banging on windows) as the worst crimes imaginable.
These people are moral vacuums.

I keep thinking “my god the people they’ve killed seem like exceptionally good folks” and I think the lesson there is that they’re not exceptional, but that wonderful people abound and that a baseline distrust in humanity is a shitty conservative trope that privileges power over collective strength

I agree that we can’t make Alex Pretti a Benedictine monk because that’s a trap, but we can talk about the good things we did because people will see and hear them and think “I do those things too”

Look, I believe in casts, but if a parent has strongly-held anti-cast beliefs, they should be allowed to let their kid’s broken arm grow back all floppy and fucked up, even to the point of lifelong, debilitating pain. And that’s not child abuse because a kid’s bones are their parents’ property

If being unarmed on the ground isn't enough to stop the state's pigs from murdering you, what reason do you have not to treat them as enemy combatants and kill them on sight?

oh look, the Labour Party trying to imitate the US government whilst the US government is currently (*checks notes*) executing protestors in broad daylight
this is definitely going to end well.

This is fucking stupid, we already have the National Crime Agency, our equivalent national body to the FBI set up to deal with serious and organised crime. Desperate to put some sort of stamp on the world in the form of taking credit for more cops when most serious crime is drug prohibition driven.

Yeah maybe if he'd had 16 years experience and 200 hours more of training, he would have killed three people today instead of one
The officer who fatally shot a Minneapolis man during a protest is an 8-year Border Patrol veteran, federal officials say.

Federal immigration officers have shot and killed a man in Minneapolis, drawing hundreds of protesters in a city already shaken by another fatal shooting weeks earlier.

Scientific research of gender transition has been stuck on "should these people be allowed to transition" for 50 years, so we don't know shit about how transitioning actually works.
Okay, transphobes freaking out because trans woman makes good on Broadway, yadah, yadah. But you skimmed right over the interesting bit. Estrogen made her feet smaller?? This is the kind of weird factoid I need to know more about. Is there scientific backing for this? Is it just anecdotal?
Dylan Mulvaney's latest success, this time on Broadway, once again has conservative weirdos frothing at the mouth.

The British equivalent of shooting Renee Good in the face is going to be some primary school teacher getting hounded into suicide by a relentless campaign by the press for publicly saying she doesn't think Muslims are all rapists.
Broadly think this analysis is right. The Treasury will prevent a true British ICE from forming, their intransigence over spending any money is the one ideological consistency in UK gov. We're going to get much more in the line of arbitrary vigilantism and screaming press monstering.
Unsettling sociological question I've started to mull: who would work for a British 'ICE'? I'm sure there is a sizeable faction of resentful young men out there who are disgusted with how 'woke' the police have become, but its hard right now to imagine them joining the 'public sector' in any form.
