But the left is violent huh?

[–] shplane@lemmy.world 21 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Easy for the right to believe that when their favorite media sources will never report on this

Honestly they might report on it to celebrate "crooked" judge getting punished.

It's pretty clear MAGA wants violence against their opposants and will justify it further for any violence against their own regardless of who and what.

Orwell's description of "doublethink" is extremely accurate. They know that the left is violent and wild, like really believe it, and they also believe that their opponents deserve death and it's a good thing when it happens.

The brain is a powerful tool. Once you teach it certain self-deceptive patterns it will happily sabotage itself if that's what you want it to do. Skillful use of language ("violence" versus "what they deserve") is key.

They're past that. They'll just tell the true believers that it was a conservative judge, so must've been leftist antifa. They'll just lie like that. They own the government, they own the media, there's another constitutional crisis every single day to distract.

That's how nazi propaganda works, and it's exactly why it must be stopped globally.

Easy for the right to believe that when their ~~favorite~~ only media sources will never report on this

We have no idea why the fire started. The guy in this tweet is talking out of turn.

Time to de-prepaganda the news:

Child rapist president directs lawless religious terrorists to bomb dissenting judge's house, in attempted murder, arson, and bombing. Burning it to the ground and sending husband to hospital after having to jump for his life from burning house.

That's the actual headline. Not the one from the billionaire-owned bullshit factory.

[–] QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works 15 points 5 months ago (2 children)

That would not be the “de-propaganda” version of this story.

The truthful version is the house caught fire and at this moment we do not know why.

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

This. I have no doubt that this is arson but I'm not going to state that as fact without evidence. That is irresponsible and contributes to the problem.

[–] QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 months ago

Until we have any evidence at all Im not concluding anything.

CONTEXT:

Last month, Goodstein had temporarily blocked the state’s election commission from releasing its voter files to the Department of Justice, a decision that was openly criticized by Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon and later reversed by the state Supreme Court. The DOJ had sought the information, including names, addresses, driver’s license numbers, and social security numbers, of over three million registered voters as part of President Donald Trump’s March executive order restricting non-citizens from registering to vote. (Non-citizens are already not allowed to vote in federal and state elections.)

CONTEXT: no one has concluded anything about the cause of the fire yet. This is really important given the people claiming political violence.

[–] Epzillon@lemmy.world 17 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Right wing extremism is 7x more likely than left wing extremist.

Source: DOJ (before they hid it, still available on archive.org)

[–] Epzillon@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Should have specified deadly extremism.

[–] QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works -4 points 5 months ago

And the house catching fire fir reasons other than arson is still more likely than arson.

We have no idea why the fire started. Lets let the investigators make conclusions based on facts.

[–] Chronographs@lemmy.zip 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I feel like I’m having a stroke, how does “SLED is investigation as arson and refer attack” make any sense?

[–] QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 months ago

It doesn’t. SC Law Enforcement Division (SLED) has not made any claims yet as to why the fire started. This is a shit source.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 4 points 5 months ago

US is pretty much in the second civil war at this point.

[–] humanamerican@lemmy.zip 4 points 5 months ago

"It's time to send our big beautiful military after these MAGA TERRORISTS who are deranged LOSERS. Thank you for your attention to this matter. DJT"

Expecting to see this on Trump's Truth Social account any minute now, right???
