Glinner Bullseye comment on X

[Thatcatsaflippingnightmare]

Always trying to explain Glinner to DH, today he showed me on X JD Vance defending murder of the woman by ICE. Glinner had replied something like 'bullseye', as in agreement. I tried to comprehend with "satire?" but he said no he's on Liz truss show these days. I said well he's always been about protecting women and children, he's not suddenly supporting femicide, but the post convinced DH otherwise. Any insights? I'm not on social media

He really is a piece of work. The darling of FWR...

Doesn't surprise me.

I'm always suspicious of men who overly concern themselves with women's business. They never have our best interests at heart.

I agree, he's always felt suspect to me, and a great lover of the praise he gets from women for his GC views.

I agree with GL and KJK on gender critical issues. But they come to their opinions very much from a right wing standpoint. I am broadly left wing but I don't agree with a lot of people on the left about the 2 child benefit cap

Politics and social issues are no longer a simple right vs left debate. They have beome a "smorgasboard" of opinions we pick and choose from

The face that I disagree with GL and KJK regarding ICE won't stop me looking to them as allies in the gender debate. And those who challenge opinions by pointing out some other very contentious thing are not engaging with the core argument

If your discussing gender, focus on that. If discussing immigration, focus on that, but don't expect people you agree with on the first issue are necessarily going to agree with you on the second. It's just no longer like that

What did Birdy do? Ignore me, I then scrolled down.

She went mad ages ago.

How can anyone who agrees with shooting a woman at point blank be an ally to women? There is no separation. He is no friend to you or any woman.

I never thought I'd find myself agreeing whole-heartedly with Brendan O'Neill.

Disappointed with Glinner and anyone else rushing to judgement about who is right or wrong here. There will be an inquest and the truth will out then.

I feel sorry for the three children who have lost their mum.

As someone who has watched (and rewatched) literally hundreds of hours of CCTV to assess incidents, I would just caution against coming to any conclusions about what happened prematurely.

It has often been my experience that you think you know exactly what happened when you have seen from, say three different angles. Then you see a fourth and it paints a completely different picture. And that is before even starting to consider background.

It is tragic that a woman has lost her life. I'm not arguing for either side. I agree with @selffellatingouroborosofhate.

I think social media has a tendency to send people mad if they are making a living from it. It's fundamentally unhealthy and even if you start out with the best of intentions it's easy yo get captured by the algorithm if you rely on views etc to pay your bills. Plus a lot of people are grifters, that absolutely includes GC people. I don't think Glimmer is a grifter, he seems to have got involved though genuine concern and then been shocked by the reaction to him. He has been really dragged through the mill. It's hard in those situations not to view people on the other "side" as enemies (rather than opponents) because you are under literal attack. Whilst also being showered with praise from another set of people. And all the causes get grouped together. He has completely lost his original moral bearings and it is sad. He is one person who really would have been fitted from taking regular breaks from Twitter. Or going of it altogether.

I’ve just seen that and came here to comment. What the fuck. She actually goes as far as questioning the woman’s response to the ICE agent in her face. Honestly, disgusting. She must know better. Also saying the left are trying to incite civil war.

FFS

He absolutely is a gritfter. And what better place than FWR to line your pockets.

When you get trapped in a very siege like way of thinking people on the other side stop seeming like human beings. It's not unique to a particular political viewpoint, it's an unfortunate human phenomenon. Although that said some right wing thought leaders are actually encouraging it (toxic empathy being a new buzzword). Urgh.

Glinner made a comment based on what he's seen and (potential) political bias.

Which can be said for pretty much everyone else on this thread.

Such a good article. I fully agree with everything he says in it.

I’m actually shocked by his comments today. Naive maybe but they’re actually disgusting. I’m GC but holy shit, what has gone wrong with him?

No, he’s re-posting really nasty speculative shit about a woman who was just shot to death. That’s beyond political differences. Have you looked at his account today?

If this doesn't stop the fawning over Glinner, Nothing will.

Glinner is a misogynist grifter and always has been. He expects all women to be grateful to him when he should be grateful that women have allowed him in their spaces and to speak with them. His mind has been absolutely rotted by his Twitter obsession and was long before his grift started. He used to campaign for abortion rights and now is in bed with the US right who want to strip the rights of women away and shoot mothers in the face.

I only follow stuff on nitter (to prevent myself from ever commenting), and Glinner's one of the accounts I look at. I've noticed him getting quite crazy in recent weeks, especially following on from the court case. Not just about trans, but everything. Perhaps bipolar.

I’ve been saying this to FWR for years now - particularly when another ‘Our Graham’ thread pops up - but I’ve always had pushback of worst kind. The same for KJK. Both are in the pocket of Trump, KJK for much longer than Glinner. I hope you recognise this now.

Yes I have, but I'll look again.

Pretty much everything being said about this incident is speculative at this point.

I saw a whole load of footage and people were posting that Renee must have driven off because she was scared. I thought that this looked very likely from what I had seen. Then later released footage shows that this doesn't appear to be the case.

All I'm saying is that you can see one thing and form a strong view, and that can be disproved (or brought into considerable doubt) quickly from another view.

What did Vance say that he agreed with?

Trump is the elected president of the USA.

So, many people in USA voted for him. The majority of people who voted.

You may not like him or his policies, but that doesn't mean that people who do agree with him don't get to have a say. It also doesn't mean that they are 'bad people'.

FWR is not a hive mind. Women are allowed to have their own political views.
