I thought that this was a particularly cogent thread describing what has happened over the past 8 months. It lays out in decent sequence how the riots, the press coverage, the preposterous impeachments and now the way all of our institutions are going woke affected a lot of minds. Here's a snippet that illustrates a point that has driven much of my thinking lately.
They could have managed the shock if it only involved the government. But the behavior of the corporate press is really what radicalized them. They hate journalists more than they hate any politician or gov't official, because they feel most betrayed by them.
The idea that the press is driven by ratings/sensationalism became untenable. If that were true, they'd be all over the Epstein story. The corporate press is the propaganda arm of the Regime they now see in outline. Nothing anyone says will ever make them unsee that, period.
This is profoundly disorienting. Many of them don't know for certain whether ballots were faked in November 2020, but they know for absolute certain that the press, the FBI, etc would lie to them if there was. They have every reason to believe that, and it's probably true.
They watched the press behave like animals for four years. Tens of millions of people will always see Kavanaugh as a gang rapist, based on nothing, because of CNN. And CNN seems proud of that. They led a lynch mob against a high school kid. They cheered on a summer of riots.
They always claimed the media had liberal bias, fine, whatever. They still thought the press would admit truth if they were cornered. Now they don't. It's a different thing to watch them invent stories whole cloth in order to destroy regular lives and spark mass violence.
The thread isn't a perfect encapsulation of my thought processes, but it's close. The bit about how I "still thought the press would admit truth if they were cornered" is spot on. It's the lying to themselves that has driven me to ponder imponderables.
I'd add to the thread and say that even their stated motives are lies. They're not fighting for racial justice because their favored race, the blacks, are dying violent deaths in greater numbers than ever before.
595 more murders per months works out to about 7200 per year. Given Chicago's example, I'd say that 6000 of those are black-on-black. To claim that the left is driven by racial justice while the gunshots are echoing all around them is to have a verbal psychotic break.
Like the Russian collusion story which was clearly nonsense from the start, due to Russia's dependence on petroleum and Trump's avowed policies of oil extraction, the claim that what we're seeing is driven by any sense of justice doesn't even rise to the level of fantasy.
Instead, I keep going back to the idea that it's all porn.
The diversity crowd feels a frisson of pleasure when someone like Lori Lightfoot, a black lesbian, wins an election. They're silent when Macy's leaves a 170,000 square foot hole in the Magnificent Mile and when Chicago murders skyrocket, almost all of which are black-on-black.
It's not that they don't know, it's that they are solving a totally different equation than what they claim.
They are not fighting inequality, they're morally masturbating. Diversity, trans, racial justice, all of it is just pornography. It feels so good, but nothing gets done. Further, they risk nothing, since it's the mania du jour...
BLM is porn. The trans movement is porn. The Green New Deal and associated trillion-dollar programs are porn. It all makes us feel so, so, so gooooood, but in nine months we'll have ... nothing.
So stop thinking you've got them cornered with your pointless logical traps. It's not about logic, it's about the SJWs pleasuring themselves.
The idea that the press is driven by ratings/sensationalism became untenable. If that were true, they'd be all over the Epstein story.
ReplyDeleteI'm confused. How did the person you are quoting miss the multiple coverage arcs of the Epstein story?
Then again, he managed to squeeze four false statements into one of those tweets:
We know as fact: a) The Steele dossier was the sole evidence used to justify spying on the Trump campaign, b) The FBI knew the Steele dossier was a DNC op, c) Steele's source told the FBI the info was unserious, d) they did not inform the court of any of this and kept spying.
Each of those ( a), b), c) and d) ) is false.
