RE: El paso Walmart, miscellaneous interesting reporting

in #texas5 years ago

These mass shooting incidents will continue for a while. Try to avoid going to the shopping malls, supermarkets, big department stores, … etc during the busy hours. Do your shopping quick and leave the scenes once you have accomplished your goals. Social media platforms have successfully managed to spread hate and prejudice, and many people are brainwashed to a point of no return. Stay guarded and alert at all times because no one will do that for you.

Sort:  

yup, looks like another one happened in Ohio overnight at a bar.

I am probably too rural for these types of things to happen here.

I am not sure that social media spreading hate argument is complete. The social media platforms may claim to be purging such content,but all they are really doing is purging normal ideas and stifling public debate. Even bad ideas tend to have some basis in reality or theory. Maybe they are incomplete ideas or sentences spoken tactlessly, maybe they have a bad conclusion based upon reality or a perception. And social media is kind of going in the direction of everything SJW in its purest form is good, no room for anything else.

So there exist no narrowing. Ie. Person A: Immigration is good and we should have open borders. Person B: The average IQ in Somalia is 68, not all immigration is good. SJWs: person B is racists. Person C, let's limit immigration to educated or skilled individuals. Social media would prohibit person b from speaking, so the only thing left in the conversation is person A. Even if we suppose social media, in error, let person B speak, they might still declare person C as racist and ban him. You would think tech giants would think to work out the bugs in their code, but they aren't. I think you'll find the people who really developed these platforms were mostly conservatives, and now that it was built they are no longer needed. These companies are infected with SJW viruses.

The extremist who really want their voice heard will just create a new account, reach out to these people who realize the reality big tech wants is untenable, and direct them off the networks where there is a true echo chamber. Facebook et al can ban all they want, but these guys are basically advertising their own sites and will create infinite accounts. Furthermore, individuals won't be able to effectively reach out to others outside of the echochamber-so they still don't really have a voice. The failure to have a voice may be why innocent people were targeted. After he spoke, after the carnage, I think he gave the SJWs a short term victory on the debate on immigration.

Patrick Crusius [PC]: immigration is bad because American has only so many resources to redistribute

person B: If we ended socialism, no one would care about the economic cost of hispanic immigration.

PC: Oh, Immigrants aren't the problem-democrats are. I kinda knew that all along, I said that they were a problem just not THE problem.
....
PC:But I am still an environmentalist like David Hogg who thinks killing people is good for the environment.
Anyways...I guess you can't stop all of their problems so easily with reason. People will still have their delusions or overvalued ideas.
