Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
It's easy to tell how tired I am; my brain skipped straight over the fact that she is dead.
I also didn't get to the main commentary I wanted to touch on — her act is credibly the first "misandrist" Ideologically Motivated Violent Extremism act in US history …
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Reddit hosted any number of so-called "femcel" subreddits, and while it was possible to find White Identity Extremists cheerleading those subreddits, & the terminology of them showed clear lineage from incel culture, they eschewed violence and excluded race politics.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
They also had no Ideologically Motivated Violent Extremism - their ideology was openly misandrist, and quietly transphobic once Reddit adopted a rule against hate speech, but they had extremely low violent rhetoric.
The core Gender Critical ecosystem, however - often had veiled violent rhetoric.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
We had an untestable, almost unfalsifiable / almost unprovable conjecture that the "femcel" subreddits were an op or experiment to try to stochastically produce a female violent extremist, because the lingo had such clear derivation from incel culture.
Maybe it has, now.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
It seems absurd to assert otherwise, given that we know that the main online nexuses for transphobic hatred, attracting radfems, are also openly hosting and promoting violent extremism, White Identity Extremism, and etc - X, & KF.

If they'd charged Roof with terrorism, they'd have to pursue prosecution of the orgs that radicalised him as terrorists, & the platforms that he was radicalised on as material support, & criminalise white supremacism
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
This is why I hold the opinion that Brandenburg v Ohio was a disaster. I understand that it is widely held to protect people from government prosecution of free speech; the problem is that it protects violent racist terorrists from prosecution, by ignoring that they are violent racist terrorists
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
If the law in the US could just ACKNOWLEDGE THAT NAZISM IS INESCAPABLY VIOLENT CRIMINAL TERRORISM
Dani(@dani-lslmlv.bsky.social):^THIS. Nazis don't have policies, they have violent crimes that they want to enact.

There is no consistent legal definition of "terrorist" other than "person the united states wants to justify harming"
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
The USA even had to invent an entire slew of terms to describe terrorists & terrorism without navigating the legal question of whether the entity can legally be called terrorist

The most recent school shooter should IMNSHO be charged with terrorism crimes, because she is absolutely & clearly motivated by an established violent ideology
But realistically, getting those charges filed would require conservative law enforcement / judicial officers to recognise the ideology …
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
The way I got into dissecting the motives and backing and operations of the "Gender Critical" movement was by tracking violent white supremacists from their violent white supremacist subreddits to their activity cheerleading Gender Critical transphobia subreddits
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
And now we know that the whole existence of the "Gender Critical" movement was because white supremacist theofascists threw mountains of cash at people & groups willing to be "Reality TV Actors" & host their hate speech

Didn't she die? Or was there yet another shooting today?

She did die, self-inflicted. Law Enforcement hasn't released / authenticated an alleged manifesto yet.

Thank You!! One of my harassers was on the list!! I had posted that I was seeing PF ( I don't want to name the group) spray painted all over my town. That white supremacy group is taking off. What do you attribute all this to? It's terrifying.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
That they've always been emotionally insecure / dysfunctional people, and a multiple-decade project of propaganda has given them permission to act on their feelings while America's laws preclude prosecuting their actions in a way that deters further terrorist activity
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Nowhere in America is it illegal to be a Nazi. In multiple states and localities it's illegal to be LGBTQ, pregnant, miscarrying, or get meaningful pain relief therapies & they're working hard to extend and entrench that.
And it will get worse until enough people take action together.

i feel like this should be extremely obvious but since ppl are really racist it perhaps needs to be emphasized that when u say ur gonna "colonize" a group of ppl, that is a threat

This (waiting outside a powerful public figure's residence and kidnapping / assassinating them to effectuate public policy changes) meets the legal definition of terrorism in almost all of the developed world.
It is terrorism for almost all academic / polisci working theories of terrorism.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
If Mangione was simply taking reprisal on the Guy He Felt Was Most Responsible For Keeping Him In Pain, that would just be homicide, but he made clear he did so to influence an entire demographic and industry.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
The thing that makes my eardrums pop and warble with every fresh bit of knowledge about his motives, is that he isn't an adherent to a distinct leftist ideological group or movement, despite the ease with which people ascribed his overt motive as "leftist" at multiple points in the cycle.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
His motive isn't primarily political! His motive is definitely his physical pain and his secondary permissive ideological synthesis is a mix of anti-industrial (Kazcynski) and patriarchal / male supremacist, which are both increasingly influencing violent extremists as violence-permissive ideologies
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
His social media prior to radio silence read like a Ben Shapiro audience member. His incriminating works read like someone who was radicalised in a Groomercord dedicated to White Identity Extremist terrorist shooters and accelerationists.

As angry as I am at the Democratic Party's epiphenomenae, the party itself isn't engaging in "Calm Down the Danger Isn't Imminent" denial, dismissal, defense or derailment. The things its politicians are doing that can be ascribed to bad faith wrt the incoming admin are also ascribable to -

Something many people don't understand about the Conservative political ecosystem that is behind Trumpism — it is, without exception, an attempt to make toothless the Fourteenth Amendment to the US Constitution, which was passed to demolish white supremacist laws.
It's all white supremacy.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
The GOP in years past even published directly in their National Platform that they are using same-s*x marriage equality as a way to attack the Fourteenth Amendment. They use LGBTQ rights and equality as a way to attack it. They've done this since Nixon & Reagan.
It is all sidechannel attacks.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
It stretches back further than that, but this is one of the signposts on the history of the movement - en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Jon...
This issue birthed the Heritage Foundation, Focus on the Family, the ADF, & many other "Christian" NGOs

I am pretty sure I am subbed to a blocklist that blocks Singal, because I didn't have to personally do it. Good.
I also want to sub to a blocklist that blocks not just him, but everyone that follows or interacts with him. Even if their interaction is 'fighting' with him. It still empowers him.
Toni Widmo (@chaoshex.net):
Does anyone know of such a blocklist or do I have to read up on the API stuff and learn how to write one? (I have programming and API experience, so it shouldn't be too hard for me, and it would be automated)
