If Mort Divine ruled the world

[CiG]

The most interesting part of this whole thing for me is that not only did the media prove that it has the power to potentially destroy lives, but that it will happily do so, even to kids, if it feels like a political K.O. for them.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

.. i've been saying that for a while now. The late great Andrew Breitbart brought that to my attention yeeeaaars ago.

If you're making a political statement, then you're not innocent. That is all.

 

[CiG]

I don't think I've ever seen such a blatantly false reading of an event, coupled with such a vitriolic treatment of a kid, with such an overwhelming debunking of a story and such a weaselly attempt to apologize (yet still failing to do so), in my lifetime. Other examples had one or two elements, but not all of them at once.

Guilt of wearing a political piece of clothing justifies what exactly?

sad.

Sad AND pathetic. People like you are destroying this country.

I feel the same way about you.

It justifies people calling you out.

Generic. Does "calling you out" include racial abuse, being told to go back to Europe, being told that "your president is a homosexual," sent death threats, family harassment, Twitter socialites talking about how you should be killed or hurt, media smears, petitions for expulsion etc etc?

Stop being a cuck your whole life and tell me exactly how much punishment these kids deserve because they're guilty of wearing a hat that supports the current President of your country.

No, not at all. It includes post-media fallout of people saying that the MAGA hat-wearing kids aren't innocent and played a part in all this. Like BO and I are doing now. They aren't innocent. They went to a pro-life rally and then found themselves in an unfortunate situation in which some of them mocked a Native American (not the smiling kid, but others) and didn't remove themselves from a social media firestorm. There's no innocence here.

They don't deserve anything beyond the kinds of conversations we're having now.

And learn a new word.

How was Nathan Phillips mocked by the kids?

They don't deserve anything beyond the kinds of conversations we're having now.

Only conversation I'm having is one in which the media is dogshit, Nathan Phillips is a lying activist cunt, the Black Israelites are the villains who nobody is really talking about and a kid is being treated like the spawn of Satan because he smirked at a retard drumming and chanting in his face for no reason, who then went ahead and actually played the victim in an event where he wasn't even close to being one.

And learn a new word.

Okay, soyboi.

 

[The Ozzman]

I can't wait for Deron to come in and mass delete shit twice in one week

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

... im surprised you didn't tag him like you usually do

 

[Einherjar86]

How was Nathan Phillips mocked by the kids?

The video shows several boys swaying and jumping back and forth mockingly to the beat of his drumming. It's pretty clear they're disrespecting what he's doing.

And I'm having a different conversation. I think those kids should be part of a larger discourse if they want to wear those hats.

 

[EternalMetal]

Kids are getting death threats from faggots on twitter who pretend to be the paragons of virtue and ethics.

I literally loled at this. The irony is straight up overwhelming that I cant help but laugh.

I think the difference is that the kids are still kids. Two groups of grown-ass men fighting a 3 way battle with a group of high school kids. It may be all political, but in this case the adults acted no better than the kids. Id argue worse, but because the kid's are right-wing MAGA clan they are automatically the perpetrators. The only reason why they mocked the Native American guy is because he came up to them beating his fucking drum. His harassment wasn't unprovoked. He knew what he was doing.

Let's assume you're correct, exactly what is it he's doing that they're disrespecting?

The hats themselves are pretty irrelevant. A red hat with a campaign slogan on it, they've existed forever in different forms. More important discourse is why the media felt the need to dehumanize kids so fanatically, when all they are is generic supporters of a current president.

I think you’re right, and I’m not saying the kids should be blamed for what happened, or that the toxicity of the situation is on them. Clearly the Black Israelites were being the most vocally disrespectful, and they deserve to be fucking eviscerated. (I can’t stand that kind of homophobic, fire and brimstone bullshit)

One could argue—and I wouldn’t disagree—that the parents of these kids knew they’d potentially become political props in some overblown media event. And then those parents leap on the misrepresentation when it inevitably happens. That’s a paranoid perspective, which is why I’m not going to say that’s what happened. The baseline point, for me, is that they wore their hats. It’s their right to wear them, but wearing them invites criticism. They could have removed them before wading into a confrontation between the Native Americans and Black Israelites, but they didn’t. They knew they’d provoke a response, and they did. And now they’re reaping the social reward.

 

[CiG]

Those damn kids knew that the adults wouldn't be able to stop themselves, it's their fault for not being more like adults.....

 

[Einherjar86]

Uh huh yep right...

 

[CiG]

You haven't answered my question; exactly what is it he was doing that they're disrespecting?

 

[viewerfromnihil]

what an idiot. Ashkenazis are NOT from the Caucasus. We're mountain men, you guys are basically sand dwellers.

Not that I would expect you read books or anything, but there was a debate for quite a while on this. Anti-Semites pegged them as descending from the Khazar region, so I figured somebody might have whispered it into your butthole at some point.

Where did you get the idea that I'm Jewish anyways?

Mort fetish? I just said lately he has a habit of jumping in and out of a thread with a snide remark. There's no fetish to find curious you weirdo lol.



Your point is that because I defended kids slandered by the media and the left I'm going against my opinion that activism is shit? I mean... okay.

"Mort fetish" because you guys literally can't get him out of your minds. He's your guys' object of ire, but he's almost never actually there when called out. I'd say, then, that he's really your object of desire, which you all have disguised as ire to conceal your raging boners for him.


My point was to get a rise out of you. It's not hard to do when you always play contrarian for the side with questionable intent. You're not as bad as Mr. Antifa-pants, I will admit.

You're over-exaggerating to make your shitty joke. Speaking for myself anyway, I don't mention him that much and when I do it's to reference his hit-and-run commenting which, surprise surprise, implies that he doesn't stick around to address what is said about him. That's the nature of a drive-by, you drive on by, you don't stick around. Try to keep up with the context of what is said.

Wasn't really a rise, I just felt the need to explain it to you.

Also it's actually you playing contrarian for the side with questionable intent considering the kids have been completely proven to have done nothing wrong, so much so that media companies are apologizing and lefty journalists are going on Joe Rogan whining about what has gone wrong with journalism when we're so quick to jump on a story blah blah. Sticking with the side continuing to desperately imply the kids are guilty of something, which places you on the side of the Black Israelites and Nathan Phillips who did what he did to defend them, is the literal definition of being a contrarian for the side with questionable intent.
