We're talking about events over the last few months, jar. I think the Nazi collaborator angle is behind us - even Faith has stepped back from it somewhat.

Allen Scarsella, who was masked up, shot 5 black lives matter protesters at a protest in 2015, was recently found guilty. Michael Strickland, a videographer for 'LaughingAtLiberals' was found guilty on "10 counts of unlawful use of a weapon, 10 counts of menacing and one count of second-degree disorderly conduct" after waving a loaded gun at a crowd of Black Lives Matter protesters. He was carrying over 100 bullets for his Glock semi-automatic handgun. Edited by Modulous, : No reason given.

Yes, I'm posting this here and have previously posted same message at the "Fake polls, fake news" topic. I was intending the message for this topic, but it also became equally relevant at the other topic.
----- The index page for the entire hour:See You In Court | On the Media | WNYC Studios The ending 10 minute segment:How To Counter Milo's Trolling Playbook | On the Media | WNYC There is an audio link, a text summary, and a complete text transcript available via the second above link. The summary:
quote: The main points I remember from listening a couple of weeks ago: The best thing for the protesters to do, would have been to totally ignore him. News coverage will focus in on the bad. They cite two examples: 1) A large peaceful gathering (such as the incident in question) where one or a few do destruction. 2) A large Tea Party gathering where one or a few are carrying racist or otherwise stupid signs. Ryan Holiday also comments on where, in the past, he personally did an act of vandalism to make a peaceful crowd look bad. I think it is a real possibility that the destructive acts in question might have been done by Milo supporters. Feel free to listen yourself, or read the transcript(s) of one or more segment of the hour. Moose

I may have been a victim of fake news against Yiannopolous. I don't know yet.

I may have been a victim of fake news against Yiannopolous. I don't know yet. Hahahahahahaha. Hahaha, heeheeheeheehee. --- If any moderator wishes to know whether this is "really called for", it is not. But it is as funny as fuck, which, like being "really called for" is not mentioned anywhere in the rules of this forum. There is literally nothing there either about being "really called for" nor about malicious gloating. I checked.

I may have been a victim of fake news ... Surreal. As I've said before Faith, the more one needs to deny things the less real one's world view becomes. Not just in science but politics and news. This is how I judge my opinions. There are things I do deny and some that I would like to deny but which would be pointless (like Trump being president). Now I don't deny that fake news exists -- the Bowling Green Massacre and the Swedish 'Night of Terror' being examples. The largest category of fake news is propaganda -- statements that tread lightly on the line of reality and gaslight us to cross over to a surreal world view. The Trump pogrom on the news (enemy of the people) is an example: if he can get us to distrust all news regardless of source or accuracy then that leaves us more vulnerable to further gaslighting
quote: " ... it attempts to destabilize the target and delegitimize the target's belief." -- I think we can all agree that there is a lot of this going around, in speeches and in news stories. Our job as American citizens is to sort through this barrage of (information + misinformation) to find validity. There was no Bowling Green Massacre and there was no Swedish 'Night of Terror' ...
... fake news against Yiannopolous. I don't know yet. Curiously I consider Yiannopolous to be fake news, I find it hard to believe the media persona shown is real, that it is not an act, that his purpose is to outrage you, gradually gaslighting you along, going further and further into a bizarre - surreal - world.

So are you saying that the interview in which he extolls the virtues of pedophilia is faked? Or is the some deeper more malevolent conspiracy theory forming?
Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

After watching some of the press conference given by Yiannopolous I understand that he didn't mean to be extolling pedophilia, which is what he originally seemed to be doing. So it's not fake news (except perhaps some versions that left out important parts) and he's now corrected his first impression quite believably in my opinion, taking most of the blame for it himself, on his style of gay British sarcasm.

After watching some of the press conference given by Yiannopolous I understand that he didn't mean to be extolling pedophilia, "didn't mean to be extolling pedophilia?" Did you read or hear Milo's own apology on the subject? He admits that his past abuse as a young child left him confused and in denial about whether such activities were abuse. At the time he made the statements apparently he did actually believe them. Now he recognizes that the abuse harmed him and produced self-destructive behavior. So yeah, he did actually mean to validate man-boy sex in at least some contexts and now regrets having done so. Given that, what does "didn't mean to be extolling pedophilia?" mean? Milo says now that he has sorted out the fact that he was victimized although he denies having been a victim. I think it is entirely possible that after doing some healing he now knows better. There are some insincere things in his apology, as before it is over he starts blaming folks for reporting his past words. Milo does not agree with everything the press said about him, although he was unclear about what they got wrong. Mostly he is questioning the motives of someone for posting his words, but to my mind that kind of blame deflecting is asinine. Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison. Thoreau: Civil Disobedience (1846) History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people. Martin Luther King I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend. Thomas Jefferson Seems to me if its clear that certain things that require ancient dates couldn't possibly be true, we are on our way to throwing out all those ancient dates on the basis of the actual evidence. -- Faith Some of us are worried about just how much damage he will do in his last couple of weeks as president, to make it easier for the NY Times and Washington post to try to destroy Trump's presidency. -- marc9000
