Yes - police are being battered to death with fire extinguishers all over the place . It's just normal. I blame the fire extinguishersWhat do you think the chance is of having a dozen or 6 mentally ill individuals in a large protest group? I think it's pretty high. What percentage of the people in that group shot, murdered or threw molotov cocktails? Seems pretty low.
They breached the capitol, as protesters have done before. Some committed crimes beyond that, they'll be prosecuted. That's how the system works. It's a vocal minority, not an influential one.
..all over the place ....
Sure there were some mentally ill/unstable people, gullible fools, etc. The whole Q-Anon thing is a really effective hook for that sort of thing.
That can't be said for the many representatives of the US's far right and neo-nazi groups who were deeply involved in it.
TrudatI would put more credence in the latter. There are massive, and very sophisticated operations, with huge buildings full of people, in Russia (and China, Iran and a dozen other places) logged into social media 24x7 peddling fake news in the form of conspiracy theories. Their purpose is to polarize the American population, foment hate and destabilise western democracy. On recent evidence, I'd say they are doing a pretty good job.
We are sleepwalking into an apocalypse.
Beijing must be thinking it’s Christmas all over again. If they believed in Xmas. Which they won’t.
Well, it's actually something that the USA exported to Hong some time ago - but the activists in Hong Kong throwing molotov cocktails and invading government offices were called plucky democratic freedom fighters, not domestic terrorists.We finally have something they won't try to copy.
Nation states are not the only ones to recognise the value of social media enabled psy-ops. Murdoch is just one who would benefit from spreading anti-BBC propaganda.Interesting facts and views shared here. I love that we can all discuss, diverge, agree, disagree...
Also interesting that all of us, (here and elsewhere), use sources as per our view. For example, there have been
big fans of the BBC and other UK channels, (and to less extent US channels, obvs as we are predominantly in UK),
Non committal watchers of the BBC and
Huge anti, "defund the BBC'.
I find it interesting that the last group tend to quote reliable internet sources, yet disregard unreliable BBC reporters, who put their names and faces to everything and are obliged to at least follow journalistic scrutiny.
I genuinely don't think UK tv channels are politically affiliated, but it may seem so when they are scrutinising the govt of the day. We just happen to have a long time with a Conservative govt. I seem to remember the Left complaining of the right wing BBC during the Blair govt days.
Seems to indicate they are annoying everyone, depending on their views - probably getting the balance ?
snip Putinist shilling
I agree, but please take a moment to distinguish non/none/nunThere has been investigation of the complaints, including recounts. The Trump side have brought forward no evidence and non has been found, beyond marginal error. Trump himself was recorded on the phone trying to get someone to fix the vote. There have been investigations all over the place involving law processes and thousands of man hours.
Why do you say that?President Trump for another 4 years . Lets wait and see on the 20th if there even is an inauguration !! Somehow i don’t think there will be ! But that’s just my view.
OK I actually took part in some of the protests in HK. I’ve still got the remnants of a tear gas grenade and some rubber bullets as a memento.Well, it's actually something that the USA exported to Hong some time ago - but the activists in Hong Kong throwing molotov cocktails and invading government offices were called plucky democratic freedom fighters, not domestic terrorists.
"Isn't it ironic"
In America the chances of the whole group being mentally ill are amazingly high!What do you think the chance is of having a dozen or 6 mentally ill individuals in a large protest group?
In America the chances of the whole group being mentally ill are amazingly high!
