No, you said it had nothing to do with left vs right. You are 100% wrong.

Those who can't see the bigger picture and fall for the divide and conquer trap, i.e. the real reason this type of propaganda is published, would agree with you.


ETA: Simply put, it has NOTHING to do with right vs. left. It has EVERYTHING to do with us vs. them.

The problem is, that "them" continue to divide "us" with propaganda like this.

Numbers don’t lie


remember when BLM was formed because of the overwhelming numbers of black men being systematically gunned down in the streets by white cops?

then we found out the real number was 10?

they won't talk about those numbers, but now "numbers" are back.

Nah. That's straight up propaganda.

There have been 163,213 homicides in the past 10 years. Even their grossly overinclusive stats indicate that .0014% of those are related to white supremacists.

Sure, that's a problem, but it is, quite literally, the least of the problems related to America's high murder rate.

Let's ask David Dorn about that. Or, we can just look at the film....







Every city those feral wild animals from BLM "protested" in looked like a war zone when they were done.

This type of stuff is the problem with society. Reporters fabricate stories to push a narrative. If shite hits the fan, take out the reporters first then work your way through the politicians.

Why bother? Why don't we simply choose to stop giving them the power to influence us?

Journalism in the traditional media is dead; has been for decades. They now openly operate as the propaganda wing of the Democrat Party. The New York Times is one of the most blatant examples. They play the same role for the Democrat Party as Pravda did for the Communist Party in the Soviet Union.


Worrisome.

You can ignore their influence all you want. But the fact remains they influence government and corporations, and that will directly impact you, no matter how much you ignore the media.

To put it another way, you may not be interested in progressives, but they are most certainly interested in you.

I think you have that backwards. Government and corporations carry out agendas with the help of a media that they know has influence over us.

They are only interested because they know that for some reason we continue to allow ourselves to be influenced by their propaganda.

Choose to stop being influenced and see how disinterested they become.

Oh, they'll eventually come up with an alternative method of influencing us. I'm just saying that I get tired of hearing people complain about the media, when in fact it's their own fault for giving them the time of day.

Certainly the government influences the media. But the media influences the government just as much. Politicians care about staying in office, and if the media pushes a narrative, they'll take it and run with it if it means more votes.

Again, you think DEI, CRT, and other examples of this type would simply disappear if we stopped reading twitter feeds?

You're very much naïve if you do.

Good morning. The Buffalo killings are part of a pattern: Most extremist violence in the U.S. comes from the political right.

There's an easy fix to this:

Start calling gang violence "extremist violence" and the scales will tip dramatically. Is a gangbanger who sprays 100 indiscriminate rounds into a random crowd not an "extremist"? If not, then what the hell is he?

It is ABSOLUTELY what the elite wants. It's called Social Engineering. It also serves to divide and conquer the population.

Politicians work in concert with the media propaganda to carry out the agenda(s) of the elite. THAT'S how they stay in office.

You may want to rethink the role of the media in the grand scheme of things.

Alright. I think any more conversation with you is pointless. Be sure to check under your bed for the Illuminati tonight before you go to bed.

It is if you think the media is anything more than a propaganda arm of the elite.
