r/honesttransgender had the most sane post of the last 24 hours and it was deleted by the moderators: "Maybe it's too late, and this is what the trans movement has become, and this is how it ends."

If they're looking for genocide against them (a stupid term, because trans isn't genetic), this would be a good way to turn everyone against them and start herding them into camps. But Reddit doesn't want to have any discussion about their darling angels.

So Reddit is fomenting this and is complicit in violence. As someone who believes in a spirit world, these people are being possessed or influenced by entities.

Doesn’t need belief in the spirit world, they’re ideologically possessed, their ideology fills their thoughts, colours their perception of the world and drives their actions and pushback against it is treated like a violent attack on them. It’s wickedly dangerous, and it happens on the left and right and the internet, social media in particular, seem to be a fantastic way to cause it.

People don't have ideologies; ideologies have people.

You can turn your back on a person, but never turn your back on an ideology.

Yeah, Dawkins was right to write about memes (as in spreading ideas, not amusing cat pictures) in 1976, it just took 40 years for us to fully see it, but it is a good explanation of how these ideas develop, take hold, spread, and then are eventually replaced by stronger ones.

It just so happens that in the 40 years since RD came up with the theory, we have built the perfect meme spreading machine in social media.
