This is the 2nd attempt at preparing the larger American social environment for activism. In this case the left will demand censorship.
The 1st attempt was "your words are literally violence."
The 2nd attempt is "your words cause people to become unhinged and kill people."

They'll claim that any disagreement, refutation, or push-back regarding Radical Gender Theory is the cause of violence and murder.
They hope to erode the distinction between inciting violence on one hand, and intellectual disagreement on the other so they can silence dissent

This will, of course, be a one way street. Angry, heated, violent rhetoric from the left will be allowed to continue, and violent leftist rhetoricwill be framed as "the desperate voice of the unheard." Even when the left gets violent their rhetoric will be defended.

Meanwhile, even the most kind, gentle, careful, thoughtful disagreement with the left's radical theory of gender will be called "violent" and will be blamed for every single act of political violence from the right.
This will be the basis for their demands for censorship.

The left will try to cut off any attempt to point out this double standard by screaming "whataboutism."
There are two responses to this.
1. Don't be violent, and create pressure on the right to remain peaceful.
2. Flood the environment with clarity about what they are doing

1 works because with not violence their theory falls apart, 2 works by exposing the way their moves work and by demonstrating the cynical nature of their game.
Anyone saying "don't call for peace, it buys into their frame" is totally wrong. Their entire frame is set up...

to capitalize on violence. The surest way to fall into their frame is to commit a violent act...so calling for peaces is good actually. (Besides which, all political violence is evil always)
Anyway, this is the game being played, and we need to begin to build a response...now
