>The sugar industry desperately trying to characterize the obesity crisis as being caused by anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it
what would your conclusion be? That sugar isn't a contributing factor to obesity?
It's certainly not conclusive.
So if that's your goal, I guess keep doing it
The term "mtf" is just as incorrect, because none of these males are becoming female, nor is it even possible for most species - including humans and other mammals.
Tangentially: I was confused by the usage of the ambiguous word, "weird", as shorthand for "bigoted". I thought you were literally asking what "mtf" meant.

Besides everyone around him testifying that he'd been left-wing ever since dropping out of college, his admission that he found Charlie's relatively moderate speech "hateful" strongly suggests the murderer was quite far to the left.
Ridiculous conclusion. Empathetic Right Wing people can also have found his speech hateful. Have you actually listened to any of it?

"Left wing" kids are not brought up being taught violence is an acceptable solution to life's problems, or for the rage they may feel against others. That could be why there is an order of magnitude fewer deaths from "left wing" extremism compared to "right wing" extremism according to the DOJ [0].
"Left wing" kids are not given as easy access to, or training with, firearms. Conservatives, especially rural, are [1].
And please do not pretend that knowing, loving, or being a trans person prohibits one from holding conservative view points, that's rather hateful [2].

I just take umbrage with the framing of Charlie Kirk as a moderate. He was a white supremacist. He believed that women shouldn't have the right to vote. He endorsed the state-sponsored execution of LGBTQ+ individuals.
These aren't moderate positions in the modern day, they're the positions of a religious extremist.
Off topic, but has there been convincing evidence that the suspect is right wing/MAGA, as Kimmel implied? I've seen some posts on reddit to this effect, but they're far from convincing.
