Clear evidence of the mental disease in SJW "leftists". PC, identity politics "left" is a total fraud. The real left has always been about economics and real social equality. Justifying the murder of a child with the Pavlovian trigger phrase "white privilege" is beyond obscene and grotesque.

There are limits to free speech. These murder apologists need to have their teeth knocked out.

Well I checked it out and that the boy was shot, unprovoked is not fake news.

That there are lunatics ranting on FB and Twitter is also not fake news.

God only knows what prompted the murder. Maybe the guy was psychotic. Bad drugs? Who knows. Seems he had a past history of drug use.

330 million people, bad stuff will happen.

Media outlets play up these kind of stories because we react to them in a visceral way. It’s part of how the media is hyping the divide, part of the propaganda playbook. Both sides are doing it.

That such propaganda is being widely disseminated and working its magic is evidence of the progressive mental collapse. We’ve lost our ability to not react when stimulated.

You can't even find this story on CNN. So the fake stream media is very selective in what click bait hype it peddles. After all, they are in the business of propaganda.

Dissident,

You are correct, there s propaganda by omission.

There is also propaganda by publishing true stories that have no particular relevance just because they are shocking. This goes on all the time. It is more detrimental at the moment because there is so much going on that hyped up emotions, we don’t need any additional.

A while ago I caught a hit of a CNN (of all people) doing a good commentary about the difference between statistics and stories. How stories, while true, warp the perception. Immediately followed by a gruesome story.

The USA is awash in propaganda.

Very recently i had 2 interactions with well educated college grads.

One had never heard of Winston Churchill. Total blank. How the hell do you not at least recognize the name?

Second was a 35-40ish male. PhD. He had never heard if the Selective Service Commission. He is about the same age as one of my sons, who was required to register. So this guy was legally bound to register also. Men of MY age damn well know about the SSC. But also it shows how far removed from war, from USA aggression this guy is. Just does not dawn on him that someone might have thrown him personally into battle. Nor that his kids could he drafted.

This is a new type of segregation. Class segregation. The warriors vs the nerds. Not good.

I Think it helps explain why the Ds have become the war hawks.

Or, it could be that you believe in the power of adversity to make us better people. I wonder what the science is on that? I suppose it depends upon what sort of adversity you approve of. Some adversity is simply cruelty, when viewed in the light of something else being actually responsible for our development. But, certainly, adversity must be good for lifting us in certain ways. It must be good to have self-discipline, for instance. Same goes for group discipline, both in groups that are ordered according to some purpose and those into which we don't have any choice over whether we belong in them or not. Group examples are good ways to find out what going too far means. People in groups seem to crumple in ways, and in time frames, that self reliant people don't.
