Disinformation II - less subtle description of things

The First Step Towards Righting America Is Refusing To Believe The Left About Anything 

The weakness and stupidity of America’s right has allowed false narratives to cement in the minds of the public. It’s killing our freedoms. It’s killing our jobs. It’s killing our families. It's killing our nation.

Remember George Floyd? I am quite sure you do. How could you possibly forget the modern-day saint honored with more funeral services than any other human being in the history of mankind.

Immediately after the man’s death, everyone with a microphone or a social media account was sprinting to prove how not racist they were. Outcries about cops hunting down black men for the color of their skin were heard from sea to shining sea.

Of course, none of this narrative, either about how Floyd’s death happened or the riots that followed, was based on facts. Not a single word. Yet where was the right? What did we get out of the single entity with a chance to speak the truth in the face of lies? We got a federal police reform bill and GOP senators talking about the need to change military base names.

The author in this case goes on to talk about the "narrative" that five people were "murdered" during the Capital riots, when in fact one man died of a stroke, one died of a heart attack, a woman collapsed for unknown reasons, and a police officer had a stroke the next day and died. The only thing that could be called a murder was Capital Police officer shooting an unarmed military veteran. The reaction to that was primarily to blame the woman. The police officer hasn't even been identified. Imagine had that police officer killed an unarmed black women during a BLM riot. Would have been drawn and quartered by now. Compare and contrast that to four police officers charged with murder (or accessory to murder) because a man with three times the lethal amount of fentanyl in his system drowned in his own fluids will being arrested. 

But these facts didn't stop the fact a narrative was engineered that managed to make it out that five people were violently murdered, and hundreds more injured, when in fact there was literally only one murder and almost no actual medical evidence (such as hospital admissions) of the massive injuries supposedly sustained. Capital police reported 60 police officers sustained injuries that included a concussion, as well as dozens  with what was described as  "scrapes and bruises". But no police officers were hospitalized other than Sicknick. Those in attendance who sought medical help were consistent with what happens in almost any large gathering. Heat stroke, minor injuries, etc. The "proof" people will provide for these allegations generally are little more than providing others who offer the same allegations and narrative,  generally from the media. As if something being written in the NYT or WaPo makes it true. Hint: it doesn't. 

Btw... if you go out an google the Capital riots deaths today, you will still see it written (falsely) that Officer Sicknick was beaten to death or killed with a fire extinguisher. Even as his own family, doctors, and the police force has attempted the correct the record, the "narrative" continues to live on with the dishonest and dangerous media.

But ultimately both of these examples of false narratives survive because of the bullying tactics of the left demanding that anyone who challenges them are racists, supportive of QAnon, or otherwise dregs of society. Reports of medical examinations of George Floyd are met with anger and repulsion from those who demand that he was choked to death, when there is literally no medical or scientific reason to believe so. Pointing out the reality that the police officer who died the day after the Capital riots was not murdered by a fire extinguisher (as originally reported) are similarly met with anger and disdain, generally finishing with some stupid non sequitur strawman that telling the truth is akin to supporting negative activities. 

Ultimately, those who attempt to upend the narrative will find that someone will ban them from this or kick them out of that or in some cases even fire them, if given the chance. It's not even that there is any sort of overwhelming majority of people who necessarily believe these are just or fair reactions. The reality is that those childish enough to punish others for disagreeing with them are getting away with it, because nobody on the other side would ever think of doing such a thing over a political or social disagreement. I have not spoken to "one" person who believes Disney was right to fire Gina Carano. I certainly read a bunch of liberal blue check marks on twitter who agree with it. But no real people who live real lives in the real world.
