That is how alot of people end up with neo-confederate propaganda rattling around in their skulls, though. If they were just writing the script of reality for racist dirtballs it would be less of an issue. Like you told another poster, those fuckers are gonna do what they're gonna do - but that doesn't mean that you have to do it too.
You became a willing vehicle for the dissemination of propaganda that was ludicrous on it's face. If you shared your thoughts on the governor who banned seeds and the people who protested her for it with others, not just here in that comment, you were spreading it in multiple directions - and you're a source that offers cover. People who wouldn't believe a neo-confederate dirtball..would believe you.
Quote:Yes, I think people should be able to utilize their private property the way they see fit so long as they are observing social distancing guidelines and their friends/relatives in accordance to those same standards--and if people choose to peacefully protest such restrictions, I don't take issue with it. You are not going to convince me that that viewpoint is the result of programming or propaganda. Just because the majority of people we happen to see protesting appear to be of the good ole boy, right-wing persuasion that does mean does that anyone who shares that particular concern is being swayed by partisan wingnuttery.It's an astroturf campaign. The protests very literally are propaganda.
Quote:I'm gonna let you in on secret, Gae...I don't trust them either, and by all means, scrutinize and criticize. It just seems to me that you should criticize them for things that they do, not things that nutballs imagine because of astroturf ads. Had you applied an ounce of scrutiny, we wouldn't even be having this conversation. You still aren't criticizing our government, this neo-confederate administration, for running these campaign propaganda pieces, which you bought into.
I don't particularly trust the government....Surprise! No Black person with knowledge of the history of this country and a lick of any goddamned sense should, IMO.
This is not new and emerging stance for me, and I see no earthly reason to limit scrutiny and criticism to the Republicans and Trump.
Too busy criticizing me for bringing that fact to your attention, I suppose. Meanwhile, the wingnut welfare circuit is singing chorus. The evil demoncrats have put us all under house arrest, and trump gonna tell em to let my people go. He already has. LIBERATE!
