I’m sure most of us don’t watch mainstream news. I was just thinking about how confused I was when people denounced the protest. For anyone who watched YouTube streamers outside of the building or was there outside, did you feel the same way? It just looked like a bunch of people waving flags to me. I actually thought they were doing police brutality by gassing people who were just standing on the roof area waving flags peacefully. Someone I know acted like I said the most heinous thing ever when I said I supported it and I just didn’t get why they were upset. Of course, then I saw the mainstream news clips over the next few days.
I just find the perspective really interesting because a lot of people just see what MSM shows, yet independent journalists didn’t seem to see much violence at all.
i was outraged. im not even american. trying to sell me that bullshit and trying to manipulate me so blatantly insults my intelligence.
Especially with the “OMG they had a noose outside” thing. Clearly it was just a prop and political hyperbole. Nobody was going to hang anyone.
They are doing the same thing with Gamestop.
Did the same thing with literally anything Trump said too.
