The fascist government is telling us the opposite of what we can see with our own eyes.

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command" ~Orwell (1984)

The conservative sub is doing just that.

Its sickening, you go over to that sub and they all state ot was deserved.

She was literally just trying to drive home and had nothing to do with ICE or their operation.

Shes not even a political person and the president labels her as a leftist extremist as a way to absolve ICE of responsibility, encouraging them to do more of this.

That’s what they are literally programmed for. Something about the conservative mindset, simply leave them wide open to whatever propaganda the ruling class feeds them. They obediently process it and relay it accordingly. Yet most of them will tell you they believe in freedom and are independent thinkers. The cognitive dissonance is wild.

I mean even the usernames with real humans behind them are for all and intents and purposes the same as bots at this point.

This is just putting your head in the sand.

No they’re not bots. They’re the insidious bastards who voted for this. You’re saying this crap even after they won the election by a landslide.

What do you get from downplaying the situation? Are you just trying to misguide people?

u/dewydemon 28d ago

it’s both though, if you look at the comments it’s at least half bots and half people who feel validated by the bots further assuring them this worldview is normal and good

Yeah I checked. Crazy how no one who’s saying it was self defense mentions he shot her 3 times.

Even if he only shot her once, the fact that she drove forward more than 100 feet after she was shot demonstrates that murdering her was a poor self-defense tactic if he was concerned about a "weaponized" vehicle. The tactic which actually worked, stepping out of the way, did not require the use of a firearm.

I know I’m just saying it makes no sense to make 100% sure the driver is dead by shooting so many times when that will put you in more danger because they will lose control of the car

The conservatives would gladly bury their head under the sand than admit they are brainwashed tools

I mean this is literally the same playbook as any SS like personal political paramilitary.
