Helpfully, they included this!

Across all the issues in the article, both rate each some degree of consequential and some degree of negative, except Cottom ranks Gaza & Military neutral, seemingly because she's wary of the Military-Industrial Complex, but also of drastic changes.

There are so few journalists I have any respect left for...
The top one looks like that freak who's always in the media with his freak wife and brood of children.
I think he just commits strongly to his opinions, a black-and-white thinker. So in agreement, he feels like he's strongly on your side
How dare they imply that Trump's impact on DEI was positive. Looking at these thumbnails, NYT did NOT ask a representative sample. It's esp perverse that they included DEI as a data point.
Yes, yes we can all agree that slavery is 'bad' but you're being very shrill about the subject, and that's worse!
Broken clocks, and all
Otherizing a group of people is significant and it is a bad thing.

Did find this 'gem' from The Times in England though
Headline: "Un-German" Books Destroyed
Dated: May 11, 1933
They could rate the positivity and consequences of such an adventure.
Now I’d subscribe to that!
Should be simple since women's sports are so important to him
Bold move!

Imagine every single person in the San Diego metropolitan area peeing behind a bush because none of them are allowed to use a public restroom.
Imagine every San Diegoan dying and saying it's inconsequential.

Protecting trans rights is essential to all people's rights.
That law they overturned in Iowa? That's the same right that let women wear pants without being fired.

It's really primarily the courts, with some legislation, that has protected Mormons, JWs, SDAs, santería, indigenous practices, etc.
- these people see “1% of the population” and think that means “basically no one” and not “literally millions of people”
- actively trying to kill a group of people simply because they belong to that group no matter how big the group is is a very important issue???

Of course identity is important but what will you do with it now?
Everyone involved deserves exactly what the Nazi fucks who orchestrated other genocides got. Line them against the wall, chop and drop.
I couldn’t rank those issues, tho. Everything is terrible and consequential.
what THE FUCK are we doing here holy shit

I bet he wouldn't say the same thing when it's his life on the line.
I hate this argument so much.
No identifier that’s not actually harming others should be fucked over. Plain, simple and undeniable.
That should be everyone’s motto for everything going forward.
I hate it so much, too. It's a gross calculus that leaves all of us targets and poorer.
Most folks do not believe this when told.
“Sure, these policies torture people over an extended period of time to the point of suicide for no reason other than bigotry, but it’s a relatively small amount of people so it’s not *that* bad!”
Like, did they really think that poem was only about the cited groups?
Even Niemöller didn't acknowledge who they really came for first: The same people they've come for this time.
Depraved.
I don't think it even compares tho, because we have everything to lose from throwing trans people under the bus...
Add everyone together and I think we're up to between 2 and 3 percent, a considerably

Deeply harmful and wrong, but also highly consequential in the larger social context.
- What % of the population were Jews in 1933 Germany?
- How many trans women raped & tortured in prison will make it "consequential?"
- When the next short-haired athletic teen girl is kicked off her team & ostracized by her community, do we call you?
Suspicious.
We really need to start calling shit for what it actually is. No more couching of terms in "politeness".
Be blunt as a warhammer crushing a skull.
thinking they can fucking judge it inconsequential because only … 1.6-2.5 MILLION people (in the US alone, nevermind those who travel here), and their families, are treated as outsider class with lesser rights
Can't wait til they close down all gay bars as potential terrorist cells and start taking all non-straights in for questioning. Lavender scare, coming to a neighborhood near you.
With no one holding them back, how long before they decide to do a)?
“Davon haben wir nichts gewusst"
("We knew nothing about that")
It's consequential now because it's the beta test. If they get away with it the sights will be turned on a new target, and one after that, and one after that. It's MUCH more difficult to stop once it has momentum.
1933 Germany 0.8% to 0.75% were Jewish
US census “nearly 1%” trans.
CDC’s Behavior Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) 0.6% trans.
Moreover, why do you find this statistic threatening?
Yes. Whomever wrote this drivel would absolutely try to find a way to excuse it away.
The FUCK?????
Like I don't want to live in a world where this much hatred exists.
Like I was already on the edge before, now I'm being pushed closer to said edge.
I literally do not know what to do anymore and I legitimately want to fucking die.
There's fewer billionaires than there are trans people. Are we to believe that this person wouldn't find significant things that happen to them to be consequential?
Two people are not inconsequential.
People are not inconsequential.

It's 1.3 million negligent homicides is what it is.
They have something wrong with their brains. And they've trained their cult over decades that if it hasn't happened to them personally - why, it hasn't happened!"
Institutionalized insanity, right there.
Astounding that the people most vocal about their right to the tools to defend their person utterly and absolutely surrendered even the most basic defense of the mind; evidence-based belief.
They make a signaled virtue of (dis)believing without seeing.
Bonkers.
(i am fucking fuming right now)
They've explicitly stated that the goal is to erase us "from the entire world".
It's explicitly genocidal. It always was genocidal.
Genocide was their goal from the very beginning.
Much appreciated.
My mom and dad went to a fundamentalist church with my aunt and uncle and came back talking about furries. They leaned about it at this militarized church. I had to explain to them what it was. Why?
