Thought Of The Day - Pittsburgh Massacre
Another Disgusting Shooting
We have all by now probably heard of the horrible incident that happened on Saturday, where a man killed 11 people at a Jewish synagogue.
I really hate commenting on event so close after they happen, because at the end of the day we unfortunately do not have all the facts, and most of the time we tend to speculate as to why these people do these things. These kinds of actions are and will always be absolutely disgusting, the use of violence and killing of innocent people and never ever has justification.
The reason I am writing about this so early on is because I seem to notice a ever growing narrative from the media recently, or maybe it has always been there. The same thing I noticed with the previous mail pipe bombs from last week. That is that there is now an ever growing trend to place the blame squarely at the feet of Donald Trump. I have been reading article after article about the massacre, and the same added information is found in every report, the constant reference to Trump's toxic rhetoric. These writers and news media keep adding that in, they desperately need us to remember that connection for some reason. Somehow everything bad happening is his fault.
"Ignorance, the root and stem of all evil." - Plato
"What has violence ever accomplished? What has it ever created? No martyr's cause has ever been stilled by an assassin's bullet. No wrongs have ever been righted by riots and civil disorders. A sniper is only a coward, not a hero; and an uncontrolled or uncontrollable mob is only the voice of madness, not the voice of the people." - Robert Kennedy
The guy that committed this evil act of violence was not even a supporter of Trump, he was a psychopath with extremist views. These views are not even from Trump, who wants to build relations with Israel and the Jewish people, his daughter converted to Judaism. Yet he is to blame for the rise of nazi's in a America, just think about that for a second, it's nothing more than complete and utter bull shit, and it makes no sense.
The question we should be asking is, what effects and long term effects there are when the mainstream media and Hollywood are celebrating and promoting identity politics. We live in a world were in is perfectly fine to be openly racist towards anyone who is white, and vilified for the colour of their skin. Yet any other racial group can celebrate and be proud of their race as long as they are not white. Anyone who does not agree with the collective on this identity political ideology is categorized as a white supremacist or far right. The only way to stop this kind of polarization and echo chambers is free speech, where these extreme ideas can be challenged.

Very observant for someone outside the US. We're in a power struggle right now where the left (so called) is trying to steal power from the republicans. The left owns all of the media stations, social media, etc and is trying to silence the opposition in an effort to control the people and eventually regain control of the government. Most people here are completely oblivious to what's happening believe it or not. We're living in what feels like the beginning of the 1984 novel.
The left obviously doesn't own all the media. You know of the crap churned out by Fox news, don't you? Trump likes that shite, does he not? I get the impression you're a right winger. So why is that, may I ask (should you indeed be). You almost sound intelligent (particularly with your reference to Orwell's classic). I'm interested. Are you a billionaire and therefore you're appreciating the tax cuts aimed at the filthy rich? Do you have shares in the NRA?
From your comments it appears you're one of those people with their head stuck up their ass. You should try pulling it out of there some time so you can see what's going on in the world. Might help?
America / the western world has always been full of cranks, it seems. When did Americans first start their love affair with shooting up their schoolkids? Around the 1970s? So, obviously, it's not all Trump's doing (and I'm fairly sure no-one's suggesting that). It's just the wanker your nation has somehow managed to elect is hellbent on giving every cockroach in society 'a voice' (whilst robbing them blind - ie. by far his main motivation). With 5,000+ easily proved bare-faced lies on record since he stole the election, he is probably the phoniest thing that's ever breathed on planet earth. Is he not? And to think he's always crying 'fake news'. SMFH.
Or do you believe the world's flat, there's a sky fairy that blesses Uncle Sam, there's no such thing as global warming and (the latest nonsense) if there is, we're all doomed anyway so let the rich continue to enjoy themselves with their filthy ways?
It does appear Trump at least claims to believe half the stuff in the previous paragraph, doesn't it? (When the truth is, he probably knows full well when he's bullshitting and only does it to manipulate America's simple masses.)
America's diseased. But then, isn't half the world? Hopefully, he'll die soon. But a legal execution has to be the preferred cause of his passing.
The media is not just suggesting it's his fault, they are outright blaming him for this incident. For someone echoing their talking points you must have missed that.
