>>54379481not sure how it is deflection
media factually manipulates public opinion in order to fuel outrage bait and prevent people from coming to a consensus that would damage the influence of people that benefit from the discourse.
I don't support violent protests, I openly stated my disagreement with violent protests while they were occurring, and I think the people that chimped out during the protest are a bunch of idiots. but I do think the ideas presented during the BLM movement have validity to them.
but nowadays I cannot state that I agree with any of their ideas without someone immediately accusing me of being a violent rioter that wants to destroy the country. and this is still in spite of the violent protests being only a small minority of total protests that were made over the issue. can you seriously tell me that there's no manipulation involved in that?
