I've heard that several times in this thread, not necessarily from you only, that my sources are Breitbart, Newsmax, QAnon, some "weird" Instagram feed, etc.
I get my news from multiple sources, mostly news aggregators like Apple News and Bing News. I do visit individually Fox News, CNN, Wall Street journal. My instagram feed is their general "what's new" and includes politics, humor, social issues, photography, etc. I do not visit individually Breitbart, Newsmax, QAnon, etc., mostly because I do not want to spread myself too thin. If I would go there, I think (and you are free do disagree) I am savvy enough to recognize and separate facts from ideological fiction there (or elsewhere, for that matter).
I agree Slobodan, you're a smart guy and you are perfectly able to separate facts from ideological fiction. However your posts here show a very deep rooted hatred at anything slightly to the left and every wrongdoing in your eyes is caused by "the left" and exaggerated up to gigantic proportions in a style and vigor that is in my eyes hurting your credibility. The way your peddling this as one big left conspiracy is just beyond my comprehension.
In my opinion the post I quote here below is probably the best I've read and closest to how I feel about the whole issue:
Like all riots they were destructive and resolved nothing. But it's important to keep things in perspective. They were restricted to small areas of cities in which the majority of residents wouldn't have known they were going on if it weren't for tv that replayed the worst of the scenes over and over. The country was not upheaved, there is no long-lasting damage or risk. They were dumb, some people got hurt, but it's best not to blow them out of proportion. My guess is that they're more media circus than real rebellion. In a country where a lot of people have guns, real destruction was pretty minimal as these things go. Condemn them, you bet, calm things down to minimize injury and damage, yup, but please stop making mountains out of mole hills. There is no widespread violent socialist revolution going on, get over yourselves.
I've been pretty harsh and unsubtle in my rebukes to you (some but not all tactics were actually copied from you) and that's not my normal style but I did it to try and hold a mirror in front of your face to see if and how it would change anything. Since it didn't I won't react to your posts on this topic anymore, no matter how extremist and absurd they look to me because I think Robert above said it way more eloquently as I could ever do and we're not going to change each-others' opinions on this anyway
As a last thought, when looking in a mirror everything left seems right and everything right seems left, so sometimes looking in a mirror and looking at matters from multiple angles (actually your advice on a different issue several pages back) can be very refreshing.
