Damn. I was hoping Rittenhouse's cult had stayed on reddit. Too bad.
The cult is the group spreading and clinging to lies that are effortlessly debunked by the copious and readily-available video evidence. What a massive projection.
One great silver lining about the Kenosha incident is that it's become a very effective litmus test of whether someone favors reality or their ideology. I can't believe how many of you people still flagrantly lie about what happened that day. But feel free to keep that mask off--identifying you lot as soon as possible within an exchange saves the rational people a lot of time.
I feel like I've gone back in time to when I'd debunk creationist arguments on Usenet, as recreation (pardon the pun).
Rittenhouse is a white supremacist and a murderer, and that's why you admire him.
Seriously doubt it (I know how freely and thoughtlessly your kind throws labels like these around, after all), but if he actually is, then he's wrong to be. Obviously. Racism is dumb.
Nope. Rittenhouse's attackers were all attempted murderers, though. But thwarting a person's attempt to kill you with lethal force, is not murder.
It's actually quite telling that these arguments/claims basically amount to "we're criticizing him for not allowing himself to be murdered by maniacs". As if one deserves to die for extinguishing a dumpster fire.
Absurd.
My kind? Which minority that you hate do you suppose I am?
Accusing someone of bigotry or racism when they've exhibited nothing of the sort doesn't strengthen your argument, it weakens the words, which is unfortunate because those sorts of accusations need to remain strong for situations where they are truthful.
Yes; namely, ideologues who value maintaining their 'narrative' so highly that they will reject even the most inarguable facts, if they are inconvenient to that narrative.
Ironically, the demographic described above is probably the majority these days.
I was amused at your projection though, assuming I was talking about a demographic defined by some superficial trait or another (race, sex, etc.). I'm not a bigot, even if you'd like desperately for me to be, as it'd give you an excuse to ignore and invalidate what I say, even though it's obviously and demonstrably true and accurate.
Maybe it's time for you to start dealing with reality on reality's terms, instead of the fiction you've created for yourself out of convenience. Confirming bias is easy, but it is not a path to the truth.
