I don't consider myself a "normie" but I have worked and played with enough people over the years that I think I know how many of them think, and appreciate that what any population considers "normal" is probably an outlook fostered by evolution and trial-and-error over a long time. Despite my years in various "subcultures" I felt actual hate from very few even among those that disapproved. Not so today. The elites and their puppets in the media seem determined to make us as distrustful, distracted and threatened by our fellows as they can accomplish. Do you have a sexual fetish? The MSM wants you to believe that one side is working to take that away. Are you concerned about your children and the way you think they should be brought up? The MSM wants you to fear the school system. Worried about Climate Change? No shortage of stories about climate "deniers" and the potential damage of taking them seriously, or fantastically frightening geoengineering ideas for the skeptics. People, even diverse ones can get along. Hate is manufactured by the ones that want to control us.
If one accepts the notion of "stochastic terrorism", to what extent is the rise in crime, particularly by black youth, the responsibility of those promoting the narratives of systemic racism and black victimhood? Is it plausible that proclamations that cops have "open season" on black youth may result in more violence by black youth? To what extent are narratives about how bad America is responsible for the "mostly peaceful" protests in the summer of 2020?
For that matter, when President Biden denigrates "MAGA Republicans", does that encourage "stochastic terrorism"?
Where's the accountability for these narratives?
I'm a believer in free speech.... if you wanna convince me that "stochastic terrorism" is a real thing, you'd at least have to apply it consistently.
Gen X lesbian here. Thank you for saying this, Heather, especially the part where gay and trans are not the same thing. I've been watching and warning people about the T Cult for over a decade, and people still lump us all together. This shooting was likely aimed at gay men (since all the lesbian bars have been closed down for being "transphobic"), not the Alphabet Group, and definitely not the T. I read that the shooter IDs as "non binary", which wouldn't surprise me.
I hope more people start waking up to the misogyny, homophobia and damage to children and women's rights that trans ideology is responsible for. I voted Republican for the first time this year because the Dems have gone off the rails with their support of this cult, and wil continue to do so as long as the Republicans are the only ones taking this seriously.
Logical fallacies are making public debate impossible. It is frightening that government force against A is advocated on the premise that A's lawful opposition to B which is caused by C and/or D, claiming to be C, and/or E, and C and/or D and/or E may be part of F, might have been the trigger for G's unlawful conduct toward H, a tiny subset of F that may (or may not) have included a subset of C and/or D and/or E. My head hurts. Were their logic used against "stochastic terrorism" theorists, they'd swear that fascism (a system they can't define) had descended upon them.
Subliminal art is far more powerful than most of us understand. Is it possible that it has been weaponized in this particular way for much longer than we realize? Is it possibly the root of the “mass formation” surrounding gender issues? If we are ever to get out of this mess, I fear we will be deprogramming for a long time to come.

Thank you for writing this. If it’s not viewable sans paywall, I hope you will consider making it so.

Instead of keeping our society out of people’s bedrooms, somehow people’s bedrooms have became our society.
Thank you Heather! You have the gift of logic, compassion, and intelligence, and the power of the pen. Please continue to write!
Thank you for this substack post Heather. “Happy Thanksgiving “ to you , Bret, Zach, Toby, and pets.

Thank you Dr. Heying! I hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving sans all this nonsense!
I’m doubtful the people to whom you address your ire are in your audience
