Jesus.
Good thing a nitwit climbed his way onto that roof instead of a half competent person, otherwise Trump wouldn’t have made it out alive. What a failure on security and police. I mean, how did he even make it around the rally grounds area with a rifle let alone climb up on top of a building with the rifle and then get a few shots off.

Social medias, News agencies are complicit of brainwashing the mass and downplaying what they wanna downplay. I'm shocked to see there's still people who believe that the news network are the truth reincarnated and that adults still associate themselves with political spectrum when it's a known fact that politicians are there to defend the corporations and billionaires interests. Just look at Canada being invaded by Indians TFW from India, Asylum seekers who abuse the system and received 5k a month and are hosted in hotel around the country on tax payers $ and all you hear is crickets on the news. Yet it's a very real issue that suppress wage across Canada because people can't compete with actual slavery (both wage and working hours/conditions). Kids can't find job, old people can't find jobs. Rent cost going up like we've never seen before. Why? Because politicians sold the country to the highest bidder and corporations own politicians across the globe. If you dare talk bout it, you'll be labelled as a racist white supremacist.

The solution? Population teaming up together against the corporations/rich . What is happening instead? Adults are easily divided by all the obvious baits mainstream media use to have us fight against each others. It's a sad timeline we're living in when we can see most of the population are npcs who will think/do as being told.

Anyway here's a video talking bout how biased our news network are and how they program the npcs that are most of the population.

How to demonize a political opponent

Quote (ofthevoid @ Jul 15 2024 10:37pm)

There's a real threat in the pendulum swinging the other way. Probably doesn't materialize, but if people under the guise of journalism can basically tell lies and destroy a character by piling on with no repercussions, while doing it in the confines of the law, what's there to do about it? Suing doesn't work, deplatforming or holding them accountable doesn't work. So is it violence? Do you just do the same to their side? Do you start to create laws to be able to go after these propaganda peddlers but then it swings too authoritarian and you end up in an objectively less democratic outcome? I honestly don't know how this gets deescalated and 'on track'.

The main things causing this are the electoral college and gerrymandering. Otherwise you wouldn't have seen a Republican president this century or a Republican majority in the House. Bush only got the popular vote in 2004 because of the Iraq war, and if he hadn't already been in office no way would a Republican have won the popular vote. So 24 years without Republicans wielding any power except in a few states and only at the state level. Instead they hold control over the Supreme Court and can shape policy even from the minority. Democrats always temper their polices to cater to Republican voices, while shutting down the farther left. Republicans have no such civility. Allowing such a vocal minority to have more power than the silent center-left moderately liberal majority prevents natural progress and leads to social conflict.

Whats the secret service's defense against a custom made zip gun built into the rim of a functional cell phone, a single shot spring launched poison dart fired from close range by someone in the front row? What's the defense against someone who precalculates an exact ballistic trajectory for wind conditions to launch a mortar from a half mile away to land right on a VIP's podium? How do you plan around someone concealing a needle in their palm as the president goes around shaking hands? They couldn't even plan around covid fomites.

All the contrived and intricate dangers the secret service has to plan against, and their reaction to some chucklefuck climbing a building in plain sight, right in front of the crowd and countersnipers- was to give him two unmolested minutes to line up his shot.

the part i dont get is these headlines always get torn apart in about 3 hours flat. whatever unsure nature they're grabbing with that headline gets destroyed in just a few hours. so they get MAYBE a short term boost, then in the long run compilation photos like this make them look like shit. even if we 4d chess shitty online clickbait journalism it seems like a net loss.
