New Zealand is to Australia like Canada is to the USA.

I got confused: the 2019 mass shootings at the mosques were in New Zealand, but they were perpetrated by an Australian.

The reporter then brought in the ADL to explain how it wasn't actually a Nazi salute, because the AfD is the party that Musk supports, and Musk didn't do a Nazi salute either.

They kind of don't let facts get in the way

More Bondi Beach massacre narratives:

Eyal Yakoby: “The hero who disarmed one of the shooters in Australia is reportedly a Maronite Christian. A true hero.”

Laura Loomer: "Credible reports suggest the man is actually a Lebanese or Coptic Christian."

Those two are lying...

That maybe the analysis being presented is missing some analysis?

Neil Postman in the book "Teaching As A Subversive Activity" talks about education as a method of DEVELOPING a bullshit detector.

If you look at how society works, do you really ascribe to the belief everyone has a good BS detector?

Story A; he was fast asleep, dreaming about the raging controversy he was about to start.

Story B; he caught himself in the drunken midnight crowd.

8am in Moscow!

If people have such good bullshit detectors at their core, how did the majority of votes cast for president get cast for Trump?

Does that pass your BS detector?

Jests always have some truth in them, eh?

That is sometimes the way to get through the censors.

With the well-honed bullshit detector he says everyone has, and all that other stuff he describes... the majority of votes cast were still cast for Trump.

My BS detector says the analysis falls short somewhere.

But wait, don't you tell people they can't screenshot your skeets or something like that?

maybe it was scheduled...

With such reinforcing, circular logic, @aliceabear.bsky.social rebuts @petercollinson.bsky.social when he asks the question I couldn't.

I'm not convinced until I see something more than a screenshot of someone's FB post that has a single sentence attributed to Hamas.

"If anti-capitalists fail to provide a viable and coherent solution to this current crisis of capitalism, the door will be left wide open for reactionary opportunists to exploit public anger"

"Organized Anarchism in the Anti-Capitalist Struggle:
Why we need organization - and principles to follow"

I think that's @magaziner.house.gov being an apologist for the fascists, if he's saying they're simply incompetent and not intentionally doing that shit.

Here's a Hint: The Trump administration are the bad guys.
