I don't understand your post. Granted, it's late, and I've already admitted inebriation. However, you appear to be indicating that I've wasted my personal time, yet I've watched the entire trial with the exception of jury selection. I've watched hundreds of hours of bar passed lawyer analysis. What could I possibly do to be more informed?

My assumption is that I'm the abnormality, brother. Not the rule. My assumption is that once the trolling is cast off, so are you, so is Thor, so are nearly all other major violators in this forum. We are not "general opinion" We are the exception, and as far from the rule as it gets. Can you tell me you don't have family who don't get their opinions from Maddow, Kimmel, the Young Turks? I can't tell you that. Can you tell me that you don't have family that get their opinion from Tucker, Gutfeld, Rogan, and Crowder? I can't tell you that, either.

I think you need to understand that the battle of narrative, and how to control that narrative, aka the battle of propaganda is the battle of today's politics. More than anything else. And if Kyle is acquitted, that means propaganda lost. If he's convicted, propaganda has won, and liberty is dead.


I don't know why you're struggling to understand my point. You can obtain information faster by reading as opposed to listening to someone speak. The exception to this rule is if you're an abnormally slow reader which I don't think you are. I don't know about you, but I really dislike wasting time in that regard. There are only so many hours in a day after all.

I already told you that I think it's important to know what influential people are saying. It's important to know what propaganda exists and how it's utilized. That doesn't mean you have to, you know, waste your time listening to them. That sounds like insanity to me.

Where did he defend or support rioters?
The narrative is that he went with his friends to protect property from rioters.


He went out as a medic in training, and affirmatively provided medical care and shelter (while providing that care) to active riotors.

As I said, I've watched the entire trial. Perhaps you should too.

Edit, if that comes across as harsh, Matt, context is important. You're not American, you have no stake here whatsoever. Everyone who may be reading this needs to understand that fact.

I read and listen simultaneously. And if I'm sober, I read, listen on a headset (one ear) with a tv set or speaker pouring out information on another set. 2 to 3 simultaneous streams of information.

That's standard circumstance. In the case of the trial, everything else stopped. I only bowed enough to my own impatience to listen to a legal stream of the trial where downtime became legal commentary.

I've been very open on my views here. I'm not convinced I've left anything open to be attacked. Can I be simply wrong? Sure. The jury will determine that. But honestly, if we're talking about statistics, there's still 30% of polled America that believes that the 3 people Kyle shot were black.

Think on that for a moment.

Anybody wanna throw down some fg on the verdict?

I am talking either full acquittal or any form of guilty. One or the other.

My money is on guilty.

I’ll put 2k on that if anybody wants to take it.

^Santara is a mediator. I bet 500 fg that he will not face any death related charges (i.e. manslaughter, murder, etc.) If you confirm, please send 500 fg to Santara.

Hung jury is a push.

I've always wished bettors luck on their bets in the past, but... I'm not wishing anyone luck on a murder trial. I'll be off hunting beginning tonight through the weekend. Please be patient with me if a verdict comes in during that time.

Hunting for Jews like Kyle Rittenhouse did? Racist.

This is one bet I wouldn't mediate. You're much stronger in your convictions than I am sir, best of luck in your hunting. :hug:

I saw a motion last night I don't know if it's true.
Did the prosecution withhold the HD footage of the drone footage from the defense till after closing? I saw this posted yesterday on another site. The quality was 100% better and it does not show Kyle pointing his gun at anyone.
Defense want's a mistrial on prejudice
Looks like it is true.

Strong possibility of a mistrial today I believe.
“The video footage has been at the center of this case,” the defense motion states. “The failure to provide the same quality footage in this particular case is intentional and clearly prejudices the defendant.”
The mistrial request is pending.

It's not "poison" in that sense. If you do not understand the view of your opponent, you will never be prepared to face them on their own terms.

You simply cannot consider yourself informed unless you consider the viewpoints of them all.

This is why I phrased my post as I did. You were talking about conservatives, but then ended by talking about general knowledge. I don't believe you have even the slightest taste of general knowledge, because you view a lot of what provides general knowledge as "poison".

It's not poison, it's opinion. And opinion with millions of viewers.

All I can do is shrug and hope you understand.


he's right tho, u can read 5 CNN articles with the same slant in the time it takes Maddow to get past her "this is likely Trump's fault" intro.
