Drew Holden gives a good summary of how blindingly bad the anti-Rittenhouse propaganda was. I'll just add two more examples: GoFundMe and Fundly shut down defense funds in August 2020, and Facebook started removing pro-Rittenhouse statements, and even videos, in September 2020.
This will go on unabated. They will simply declare that this is some gross miscarriage of justice that proves how racist white America is, and the way they refer to these events a year from now will continue to exclude the facts.
ReplyDeleteThey don't need Facebook and GoFundMe to exclude reality, it just makes it a little easier and provides justification. See? All the objective platforms know that he was guilty, that's why they wouldn't support this.

The result of the infamous 'conversation' is not for all to achieve a closer approximation of understanding reality but the enforcement of conformity to single all-encompassing narrative.
My God, @ James, that is a great line. Where can I use it?
ReplyDeleteYou all are being mind controlled.
ReplyDeleteThis is no lie and is in fact a more profound truth than even the most intelligent humans can comprehend. God's intelligence is not at the level of a human.
