I also dislike Right/Left categorizations. Most people don't even know the history of the terms and their roots in the French Revolution. Though the "Cult of Reason" established then certainly had the Left categorization at the time.

But is the trans element not a major part of this cult? It seemed to be from the linked story in the top link. But if there is something incorrect there, or false in the NYP reporting, you should point it out. If it is a major element of this cult, then far from complaining about NYP, I would complain about any news organization leaving it out of its reporting.



I don't think being trans is part of their beliefs or a requirement to be a member


That zizians.info page makes several claims about their beliefs in regards to being trans, and both articles make claims about the number of trans people involved in the events described that, if true, seem to indicate large trans representation.

But all of this may be false information. I would like to hear specifics, if so.


There is, but, for example, the cult member accused of murdering the landlord isn't trans. So transness isn't intrinsic to the cult, and the violence also isn't related to trying to fight for/against anything to do with being trans.

(These aren't actually ideologically motivated killings, oddly enough: in practice they just murder people who slight them, even if "it is imperative and the greatest good that you murder people who slight you" is a key component of their decision-theoretic extremism ideology. Or at least that's how I interpret it.)


Are the reports true that the two who first attacked the landlord were trans? And the two in the border patrol attack were trans? And the suspect in the Zajko killings is trans? And the leader of the cult is trans?

And also that the person whom you mention, who was accused of the landlord killing, was in fact married to one of the trans persons above?

If there was not a disproportionate number of trans people involved in these murders, then I hope that you can point to the specific elements of the story that were wrong.


If 80% of them happened to have blonde hair would you be talking down blonde people in this thread, too?

Correlation is literally not causation.

You've crossed into slurring a general class of people, which is not allowed here. We ban accounts that do that, so please don't.
