Jamison Wagner, 40, torched cars at the Tesla Albuquerque Showroom and set a doorway alight at the Republican Party of New Mexico offices, prosecutors said.
I’m talking about the problem with the article, not problems with society or the world or anything else. No one’s stopping you from being upset at multiple problems at once. Unfortunately, I don’t have the means of reaching the arsonist nor the author of the article to make my complaints, nor the means to experience anger (alexithymia), but I can communicate with the people of Lemmy and encourage people to actually think about what they read. It’s also just a fun exercise to see how biased articles are written in the first place.
No one is making fun of the LGBQT community because of him.
Not making fun of. Promoting fear, and the idea that they are all dangerous. Rereading the comments, it’s actually more an attack on anyone who supports the LGBTQ community than on LGBTQs. I’ll quote some of them below for you.
A lipstick wearing arsonist. Sounds like your typical demokrat. (toadlick2)
Another Trans-Terrorist…that’ll by the twit 40 Years in Jail. Good, throw away the key. (Pennsyltuckian)
This is what your typical Democrat looks like. (europa2832)
Look at this poster child of the liberal left… these liberals are the most violent, the most bigoted and the greatest threat to our country… they say they are for peace… NO !!! They are not!!! Do u see Conservatives doing this?? Dont Give me that BS of January 6!!! (rockaway1)
This is the face of the left. And they are endorsing it. Nanny P and Schumer and all the crazies in that parties are endorsing violence. (Zee Chen)
I picked out the ones that are most explicit, but just about every comment is saying the same thing.
Promoting fear, and the idea that they are all dangerous.
Again, no one is doing that. Those people would have said the exact same things even without the current title of the article. The title of the article didn’t cause any of them to think differently.
What makes you think it wouldn’t? How do you inform yourself about the happenings of the world if not through the news? Or from people who read the news? And of those people, how often do you think they read past the headlines before jumping to a conclusion?
If someone picks up a gun and accidentally shoots you in the foot, what are you going to say? “I’m not an idiot. I know gun safety. If you shoot me in the foot, that’s your problem, not mine.”
Seeing a fucking headline online and being shot in the foot are two different things. Again, if you are week enough to make your choices based on random headlines without doing your own research, that’s on you.
Maybe people should toughen up and not be sheeple. :)
Yeah, they’re two different things. The commonality is one person’s actions negatively affecting other people. As the party that’s being negatively affected, it makes no sense to say that it’s not your problem just because you’re not the cause of the problem. Being negatively affected by it makes it your problem.

Hey, if you change your world outlook because of a headline, that’s on you. Seems weak to me. I like to think for myself. But you do you.

Except you can choose not to be a sheep and blindly let a internet headline make your choices for you. LMAO
I can choose for myself. You can choose for yourself. We cannot choose for other people.
