That's the joke. Remember, msm tells us it's all MAGA/white supremacists as the largest threat to America. Lot's of Juneteenth violence due to MAGA/white supremacists this past weekend as well.

Well...perhaps. Do you think they’re done or just laying lied for awhile?
“Another, more widely optimistic, reading of Jones’s meltdown is the proposition that the destructive forces of alt right conspiracy are finally in retreat. It is hard to imagine the rise of Trump without the environment of outlandish falsehood that preceded him. If Fox News offered mainstream support to that war on reality, then Jones was a big part of its militia wing. When Trump first announced that he was running for the presidency he appeared on Infowars to tell Jones: “Your reputation is amazing. I will not let you down”, endorsing the host’s message that there was a secret liberal deep state cabal that controlled the world. In the months of campaigning that followed, when Trump shouted “Lock her up” of his opponent, Hillary Clinton, he knew he was preaching to the Infowars converted. On the morning after his inauguration, in 2017, Jones was among the first people Trump contacted to thank him for the help he had given.
The optimism that sees the events in the Capitol as the last chapter of that story, however, must be heavily tempered with the fear that rather than representing an endgame, it instead highlighted a first dramatic skirmish in a new kind of warfare. That contention is at the heart of a compelling book, The Storm Is Upon Us, to be published this week, by the California-based journalist Mike Rothschild. The book examines the internet-based conspiracies that led to the assault on the Capitol in forensic detail, in particular the story of QAnon, the obscure series of anonymous “prophecies” that became the declared philosophy of many of those who travelled from across the country intent on overturning Joe Biden’s election victory, the philosophy that even Jones thought was a conspiracy too far.
Rothschild’s book is a profoundly sobering read for anyone who retains faith in the inevitable progress of human reason, or a belief that in a free-speech environment where all opinions are given equal weight, Enlightenment views will necessarily prevail over violent untruths. It traces how a series of “data drops” from an anonymous poster QAnon – claiming to be a senior Pentagon insider – on the renegade internet platform 4chan came to be taken as prophetic gospels by thousands of disgruntled middle Americans staring at their screens.“

This is why commercial media thinks we are all stupid (and they are right 85% of the time)
The truth behind crimes against Asians is right at everyone's fingertips. It is called the Uniform Crime Report, published annually by the FBI. Any person who can read and filter by categories can see who commits the majority of violent or "hate"-like crimes against Asians.

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
I think it's a vastly overrated "terror", much like the supremely overhyped "insurrection" that allegedly occurred on 1/6. People justify and gloss over the billions of dollars of damage and death in the past 18 months attributed to "an idea", but cower in fear from a group that represents less than 1/100th of 1% of the population.kalm wrote: ↑Mon Jun 21, 2021 2:34 pmWell...perhaps.

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
There are some vaild points here but since you brought it it up, "but cower in fear from a group that represents less than 1/100th of 1% of the population." is an interesting position to take given that we've seen a group of men representing approximately 1% of the population start a war before and tear this country apart in 1860 and the alt-right loves to tag their trucks and gets tats' that suggest only 3% of the colonists fought against England.AZGrizFan wrote: ↑Mon Jun 21, 2021 2:47 pmI think it's a vastly overrated "terror", much like the supremely overhyped "insurrection" that allegedly occurred on 1/6.

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
There's no number, and I'm not implying such. But we have an ACTUAL terroristic threat (ANTIFA) that's done billions in damage, caused multiple deaths, created chaos in many major US cities for MONTHS, and people who excuse that behavior write them off as "just an idea". Then we have an IMPLIED terrorist threat, that's done virtually ZERO damage in comparison (yes there's been some injuries and death associated with it over YEARS), created VERY little chaos, and it's viewed as "the number one terrorist threat in the US"....Ibanez wrote: ↑Tue Jun 22, 2021 5:17 amThere are some vaild points here but since you brought it it up, "but cower in fear from a group that represents less than 1/100th of 1% of the population." is an interesting position to take given that we've seen a group of men representing approximately 1% of the population start a war before and tear this country apart in 1860 and the alt-right loves to tag their trucks and gets tats' that suggest only 3% of the colonists fought against England.AZGrizFan wrote: ↑Mon Jun 21, 2021 2:47 pm

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
You missed the point. Your bias is inhibiting your critical thinking. You're making the statement that there was a supposed "insurrection" by such a small group of people. I pointed out 2x in our history that a small group have had a major impact (ironically, both are idolized here in the South). I wouldn't say "virtually" zero damage. There have been lives lost and $1.5M in damages from the Jan 6 riot not to mention another tens of millions spent on security measures.AZGrizFan wrote: ↑Tue Jun 22, 2021 7:01 amThere's no number, and I'm not implying such.

You're so focused on the size and the cost you're missing the point that these actions are taking place. Who cares if it was "virtually" zero - people died and were injured. That's already too much.
And Antifa is threat. There's no escaping that fact. Antifa / BLM are domestic terrorists. They may be fighting for equality but they're violent and dangerous. You can't be on the good and bad side of an issue.

I call it a "supposed" insurrection because calling it an ACTUAL insurrection is a fucking joke. And the "virtually zero damages" is in relation to the multiple BILLIONS caused by those who "advocate" peace...
