Can't read that due to a paywall, but you do know that we live in an era where video can be easily shared, right? We've watched the left and antifa burn down buildings, watched police force to form a line around a church to prevent "peaceful BLM protestors" from looting, seen the aftermath of these "peaceful protests."
You can try and claim that burning down buildings, lighting police cars on fire, smashing windows and looting stores is "peaceful" all you want, but we can see it happening in real time from p
This is actually the problem. You see the videos that highlight your latent bias and beliefs. Imagine there was 100,000 hours of protests. Now imagine we have 100 hours of bad actors doing bad things. You will watch those 100 hours and you will say "All protests are violent hateful and extreme" because you simply are informed by the sound bytes and videos of social media.
You slowly start to reject all information that does not meet your worldview and move to extremist views. You doubt everything that causes

At least you're phrasing that as a hypothetical because we all know it isn't true. But I also note that, weirdly, that same logic doesn't apply to the police. We have likely at this point decades of footage of good police, and very little of bad police. Yet, for some reason, we're supposed to completely "defund the police" over a few bad apples.
So again we see the left double-standard at work: protestors burn down buildings, attack police, throw Molotov cocktails, set vehicles on fire: "mostly peaceful." A
This is what's killer here. This notion that's there's only one narrative to push. It's hilarious when folks think that there is only one group to play and "media" is just playing that group.
Project Veritas has proved that time and time again
This is what's fun. Hey don't believe MSM, they're pushing a narrative, so says this group who's entire purpose is to push a narrative. I'm not saying drink the MSM kool-aid here, but you absolutely sounding like you are drinking one of the other team's kool-aid.
not OK for the right to peacefully protest their winning votes being overturned due to fraud
Uh, yeah, that whole January 6th thing, totes peaceful
Uh, yeah, that whole January 6th thing, totes peaceful but you know it's whatever. Folks burning shit down are getting arrested and fuckers invading the capitol are getting arrested, so Thanos balanced in my eyes
You say that but a lot of people act like everyone who feels like the election was was stolen is as guilty as those that did the riot. Apparently the only election fraud we're aloud to believe in is that caused by Russia
Yes, everyone who rioted believing the election was stolen are as bad as the BLM rioters. Perhaps worse, as the stop the steal people were rioting over a lie, while the BLM rioters were rioting over unarmed, actually dead, black people.
I'm sure the families of the people who were unjustly inured or murdered during the BLM riots that small comfort that it was for a better cause. Same with those people whose businesses were burn down
