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!
I'm critical of the thoroughly UN-IMAGINED orders which prohibit people from utilizing their personal property as they see fit, prohibit citizens from seeing family/loved ones who do not happen to live in their abode, and prohibits people from working jobs that can easily performed while practicing social distancing. Lol...Feel free to keep ignoring that though--And the the fact that, propaganda aside, some of these protesters are undoubtedly motivated by fear of losing their civil liberties and being unable to being unable to make ends meet and provide for their families--and that those fear are NOT without merit.
Yeah, I get it...Trump is bad, m'kay? But I'm not about to be sold on the notion that he is the source of all fuckshit and propaganda in regards to the handling of this pandemic and that nothing could possibly be worse than him and his merry band of Deplorables.
Do I think states should be opening next week? No, I don't. But the intent of the orders was to prevent health care system from being overwhelmed, not indefinitely keeping Americans at home until a vaccine falls out of the sky or as means of ensuring that no one ever ever ever dies from the virus again. That cannot happen in a free society.
At the moment, it's the Left that's on the most serious Koolaid shit in regards to that garbage, and I refuse to cosign it. You can accuse me of whatever you like.
Your response is nonsense. What you and babbling man-child @SUNGULA are actually taking issue with is the fact that I don't share in the disturbing blindspot deriving from you guys' advanced Trump Derangement Syndrome. I have no interest in playing that stupid fucking game, because it allows Democrats to get away with way too much solely on account of being Not Trump.
There you have it.
Continue to accuse at your leisure. In this case, I am pleased to meet your disapproval.
