Postscriptum: Turns out Sulla was in Alaska, which explains the fishy smell. But there is more! A few more rejects, some deserved, some outright alt-right sympathizing censorship. Be your own judge, since that is what free speech is all about.

      the other two news snippets on the side are: refugee shows pornographic photo to kid and molests him, and 17 year old stabbed in nearby city (a 15 yo from Ghana accused himself of the crime to cover another one from Kosovo who is older and risks full prosecution)

      They are not important news, it's dog bites man material, the logical outcome of calculated processes. The plans needed the enemy and the lefty socialists supplied it. Maybe the righties will enforce some totalitarian nationalism to fight it, and the lefties will play the victims.

    https://www.radicalrightanalysis.com/2019/10/08/what-is-tolerance-and-how-much-of-it-do-democracies-require/ [radicalrightanalysis.com]

    Synthesizing earlier theoretical work, we identify three expressions of tolerance: acceptance of, respect for, and appreciation of diversity.

    The first, acceptance of diversity, is the most basic form of tolerance and constitutes a permissive relationship between members of different groups. In this form, members of different groups do not interfere with each other or their practices but instead accept their presence in society.

    The second and third expressions of tolerance are more demanding.

    https://www.radicalrightanalysis.com/2019/10/05/how-republicans-engineered-minority-rule/ [radicalrightanalysis.com]

    In terms of recent electoral choices, the Republican party (GOP) has become the majority preference of white voters, especially older ones. If the electorate had been restricted to whites as it effectively had before the mid-1960s, not only would Donald Trump have been elected president but so would his GOP predecessors: George Herbert Walker Bush (1992), John McCain (2008) and Mitt Romney (2012). Previous GOP presidents, Richard Nixon, and Ronald Reagan had pursued successfully a ‘southern strategy’, winning the support of white voters from the eleven states of the old Confederacy. Despite his jovial demeanor, we should remember that Reagan launched his 1980 presidential campaign from Philadelphia, Mississippi – the infamous site where three civil rights workers had been killed by racist law enforcement officers in earlier years.

    Now, and in the near future, this GOP appeal to a master race (Herrenvolk) of whites may very well ensure the party’s defeat; both in presidential and congressional balloting. If there was a way to return the franchise to whites to the exclusion of other groups, or skew it to strongly favor them, the GOP’s increasingly stark demographic picture might be altered

    https://www.radicalrightanalysis.com/2019/10/04/this-is-what-peaceful-ethnic-cleansing-looks-like/ [radicalrightanalysis.com]

    In September, reports hit major news outlets that, Bee Love Slater, a transgender woman of color, was found ‘burned beyond recognition’—the eighteenth transgender woman murdered in the US this year. The veneer of tolerance, the bare-minimum for a functioning democracy, has eroded. There has since been another and potentially another such incident.

    In 2016, alt-right leader Richard Spencer declared that the goal of his movement, establishing a white ethnostate, would require ‘peaceful ethnic cleansing’. One of Spencer’s former collaborators, Jason Reza Jorjani, a once lecturer at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, was even caught on video describing a future where concentration camps would be spread across Europe. Decades of rhetoric projecting a ‘minority-majority’ society has propelled anxious right-wingers into being ‘black pilled’ into believing there is no hope for a dying white race without radical action. The far-right fears a pluralistic American society.

    https://www.radicalrightanalysis.com/2019/10/03/kyiv-ukraine-a-new-hub-for-international-neo-nazi-concerts/ [radicalrightanalysis.com]

    According to a report released this week by The Soufan Center, Ukraine is “emerging as a hub in the broader network of transnational white supremacy extremism.” But Ukraine, in particular the capital Kyiv, also appears to be emerging as a centre for something else: neo-Nazi concerts.

    Over the past year, as a journalist who focuses on the far-right in Ukraine, I have documented and written about several neo-Nazi concerts that have taken place in the Ukrainian capital. While, of course, neo-Nazi concerts take place all over Europe, with some of the largest taking place in Germany, these events in Kyiv are far more open than their counterparts in other countries. Tickets are freely available for sale to the public. They take place at well-known local venues that also host mainstream events. Worse, they continue to take place with little to no attention or scrutiny from government and local media.

      Although the study only included teens in two grades, the rates are higher than a UCLA study released last year estimating that 0.7 percent of teens aged 13 to 17 are transgender, or about 150,000 kids. That study used government data on adults to estimate numbers for children. It said 0.6 percent of U.S. adults identify as transgender, or about 1.4 million.

      https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2017/crime-in-the-u.s.-2017/topic-pages/murder [fbi.gov]

      There were 5.3 murders per 100,000 people in 2017. The murder rate in 2017 was down from the rates in 2016 (1.4 percent) and 2008 (2.0 percent). However, the murder rate climbed 17.3 percent when compared with the 2013 rate. (See Tables 1 and 1A.)

      So with 1.4 million people in the US who identify from the first citation, one would expect 5.3 murders per 100k of them per year, with some error because of yearly changing crime rates. So that works out to about 74 expected deaths in that population per year from murder/homicide. If homicides occur equally across the months, by this point in the year we would expect 65 deaths but the year total based on the current trend will be 21. They are under-represented in homicides compared to the general population. That is good news and I hope it stays that way.

      ~~

      At the edit stage I realized that we are talking about only women. I am unable to find any actual stats on the breakdown of male-female but they don't really care about the biological distinction anyways. I found some studies suggesting that there are more women than men in the group, which would further under-represent them in murder compared to the general population.

      Anne Georgulas has charged Younger, her ex-husband and James’s father, with child abuse for not affirming their son as a transgender “girl,” according to court documents.

      She has also sought restraining orders against Younger, she is trying to terminate his parental rights, and also seeks to compel Younger to pay for James’s visits with a transgender-affirming therapist and for medical procedures to “transition” James to a girl.

      The controversial “treatment” could include hormonal sterilization that could begin in as soon as two years when James turns eight, in preparation for James to later have “sexual reassignment” surgery.

      [...]

      While James’s mother is “all in” on socially transitioning the boy, Heyer writes, providing only female clothes and enrolling him in school with a girl’s name, James exhibits no signs of gender dysphoria when with his father or others, choosing to dress and live as a boy.

      “The fact that James changes gender identity depending on which parent is present makes the diagnosis of gender dysphoria both dubious and harmful,” Heyer said.

      Furthermore, he writes, the transition therapist has observed as well that James is not consistent, insistent, or persistent in the desire to become “Luna.”

    When submitting a story, this text appears at the top of the submission form:

    Here is where you can submit a story for the SoylentNews Editors to peer at it, poke it with a stick, and perhaps post it for all to share and enjoy. It is very important that you write a clear simple subject, and include relevant links in your story. If you wish to be anonymous, feel free to leave the identifying fields blank. Anonymity has no effect on whether we will accept or decline the story. For more tips see the Submissions Guidelines [soylentnews.org].

    The Submissions Guidelines, in turn, state:

    For controversial issues, use source links from sites with opposing biases. If a wolf says he wants sheep for dinner, don't ask another wolf if that is a good idea, ask a sheep.

    (Emphasis from original retained.)

    Story submissions specifically supporting (or opposing) "white supremacy", "alt-left", "alt-right", "far right", etc. viewpoints, run afoul of this and would, therefore, be declined.

    Separately, on the SoylentNews Wiki, there is this Story Style [soylentnews.org] guideline which addresses a part of how editors approach a story. I call attention, specifically, to the section US/UK Spelling [soylentnews.org] where it notes that stories may be in either US English or UK English, but makes no allowance for story submissions in a language other than English. I can only recall a select few cases where we ran non-English-sourced stories. One pertaining to some radio frequencies being reclaimed in a Scandinavian country, and the other was early-reporting on diesel-gate citing a German source (Der Spiegel, IIRC). And, since I can read some German, I personally vetted the translation of the referenced source.

    I'm about to fall asleep at my keyboard, so please forgive any typos, etc. that might have crept in.

    Some constructive criticism, a few low jabs, all taken in stride, mind you. But a lot of pure right-wing nut-job uncomprehending hatred, which is disappointing. Do try to stay on topic, my fellow Soylentils! We are men of Freedom of Speech, and whinging does not become us!
