The manipulation through news and social media is perhaps the most troubling thing going on right now (though I do my best to ignore it). I may be different than a lot in here, in that I believe this manipulation is not only on both sides if the political spectrum, but also beyond just politics. its just ridiculous what people say, and how many people will believe it. CNN, msnbc, foxnews, and a wealth of nonsense on Facebook and Twitter. You’ll find a lot of lies in any of those. You're not alone in the bolded. The trick is making us believe the battle is R v L or D v R or conservative v liberal. It's none of those things. It's the global establishment (which crosses the aisle) versus the people. Making us think the fight is between ourselves is how they stay in power. Edited January 22, 2019 by Deranged Rhino 1 1

suorangefan4 Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 I'm not even surprised it was the other side who was being racist towards the white kids. By the way Tiberius, how come you didn't post about an actual racist and sexist story where someone at the Women's March had a sign that said "White Old Men Extinction Nearing"? Is it because you hate white men too?

I have my own judgments against who those kids likely are, who they will likely grow up to be, and who their parents likely are. And I would be willing to bet there is a lot of ignorance in their views. BUT, the narrative that they harassed and surrounded a native american appears to be blatantly false. Even the original video didn't depict anything beyond them being the people you described.
TH3 Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Ya....well there are also videos of the MAGA teen squad acting like total effing dbags before the whole native American thing....so there is that.... 4 minutes ago, Crayola64 said: I have my own judgments against who those kids likely are, who they will likely grow up to be, and who their parents likely are.

You're a self described liberal who just used just one color to draw a picture of who these kids are likely to be in the future*. You have a whole box of crayons and your going with one? I'm always amazed when a liberal lumps people together like that. So closed-minded! *magenta. You used magenta, the color of intolerance! 1
Paulus Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 I'm surprised those on the right are not more heated about this. When the left starts coming for our boys, more than just the pens chopping mind wash, you'd think there'd be more of a "whitelash."

You mean, like you just did. Of course we all judge people based on political beliefs, sometimes right and sometimes wrong. I am aware. When I see a child that has been raised in a religious school, brought to a religious rally, and wearing political attire.....yea I just might draw some inferences. I am sure you might do the same for different views. And what are you talking about intolerance and nonsense, who mentioned any of that? I hope these kids continue to get an education and have the opportunity to make their own mind. Where is my intolerance Oh wait, are you just trying to argue for no reason lol. Not all liberals are bad, same with not all conservatives from my point of view. EDIT: Though as a writer, I do like you crayon symbolism haha. It is just that the substance of your post is jumping the gun a bit. Edited January 22, 2019 by Crayola64 1
