j reacts to the pseudo-left dropping the secular facade around the orlando shooting
so, apparently homosexuality is such a debilitating mental illness that it can create such a level of conflict in people of faith that it can drive them to shoot up nightclubs they frequent.
thanks, "left" media.
the specious nature of the argument aside (and the fact that it requires the rejection of direct statements by the attacker to take it seriously), this is actually useful because it drops the secular facade: much of what we call the "progressive left" in north america is really the scattered remnants of american religious fundamentalism. sometimes, they remind us of what they really think.
for those that legitimately mean well, please take a step back. this narrative only harms the queer community. and, because it so obviously wrong we don't have to have discussions about hard truths. the discussion ought to be about convenient lies.
but, as mentioned, i'm not naive. nobody wants to talk about ending the war in afghanistan. that would be seen as some kind of concession. instead, the media will continue to propagate nonsense, then pretend it's confused when the attacks continue.
