From Organizer For DC Women’s March, Linda Sarsour Is Pro Sharia Law with Ties To Hamas posted by freeper Enlightened1 The ties? She was in a picture at a conference in Chicago with someone that's been accused of financing Hamas. Oh, this is according to the Daily Caller, but the article is from Gateway Pundit because of course it is. The Gateway Pundit article goes on to accuse her of supporting Sharia Law because she's made snarky tweets like "If you are still paying interest than Sharia Law hasn't taken over America. #justsaying" https://twitter.com/lsarsour/status/598326262218813440 The article continues, some dipshit on Gateway Pundit posted:I reached out to Linda Sarsour on Twitter to confront her about the utter abuses of women under Islam. I also brought up the fact that child marriage is abhorrent yet sanctioned under Sharia law. When I asked her if she denounces these abuses, below was her response to me… Oh by the way, here's her twitter bio. quote:Palestinian-American-Muslim, racial justice & civil rights activist, media commentator. Born & raised in Brooklyn. #NoDAPL Bookings As you might recall from earlier, freep still doesn't get any of the various factors that lead to yesterday's protests. The current US-wide crowd size estimate, by the way, is now in the 3.5-4.5 million range. quote:To: Enlightened1 Oh also, because Soros donates to pretty much every single liberal cause that asks for money, of course he's involved. quote:To: EinNYC quote:
quote:To: Enlightened1 Watch this one list various reasons why the protests happened and then immediately dismiss them. quote:To: Enlightened1 To be clear about the attendance figures, 200k were expected in DC, but 500k showed up. quote:To: Enlightened1 quote:To: Robert357 This is the battle we face. They are unable to discern objective facts from propaganda lies and have been lead to believe the entire outside world is wrong. quote:To: nopardons Let's play the quote:To: Enlightened1 quote:To: EinNYC The hell? quote:To: Enlightened1 Freepers: quote:To: Enlightened1 quote:To: Enlightened1 quote:To: ROCKLOBSTER And from a second thread on the article, quote:To: scooby321 Again, just to demonstrate how little freep understands about the motivation behind the protests, quote:To: scooby321 quote:To: ronnie raygun If you watch carefully, you'll note that every single time the treatment of women's issues in western society comes up, someone else that doesn't want to address the issue will begin talking about women's issues in Muslim countries instead. This doesn't just derail the conversation, it attempts to actively delegitimatize the original concern. quote:To: scooby321 quote:To: scooby321 quote:To: Starboard

From Bill To Withdraw The US From The United Nations Has Been Submitted To Congress posted by freeper Fennie The freep link it to a tweet that contains no link. It's surely about the "American Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2017" introduced on January 3. This will be the third or fourth time this particular legislation will have been introduced, each time by Alabama rep Mike Rogers. Each time it never got out of committee. Reaction to this by most other conservative groups has been "but why would we give up our permanent seat on the security council?" Let's see if freep gives a poo poo. quote:To: Fennie quote:Comment #8 Removed by Moderator quote:To: Fennie What? quote:To: Fennie quote:To: Fennie There's been only one other "uh hey but our veto" post so far. This one is worse. quote:To: Fennie The same earlier "uh hey but our veto" post also talked about public schools, setting the stage for quote:To: kingu; All Man, this public school derail is really something else. quote:To: kingu No, adding more context does not make this post make sense. quote:To: napscoordinator quote:To: Fennie Freep opinions: LBGT issues are a UN conspiracy! quote:To: Fennie The number of posts calling out our veto power is currently five. quote:To: Fennie Seriously guys quote:To: Fennie

A tale of two media outlets, part one. First, from Spicer accuses media of ‘false reporting’ in fiery briefing posted by freeper granite This is Fox News' article on Spicer's hissyfit yesterday. The article contains only statements he made, without attempting to note that they are false. This is the one and only time I'm going to suggest that you visit the article and read the comments sorted oldest first. Caution, autoplaying video with audio. Fox News story comments are literally more in tune with reality than freep. Again, I want to re-emphasize here that the Press Secretary for the President of the United States of America went out in front of reporters and literally shouted out a prepared statement containing information that was objectively false, while chiding the press for reporting correct figures. quote:To: granite quote:To: granite quote:To: granite Again, the low end estimated crowd size is 250k. This is a number in the normal range for an inaguration. quote:To: granite quote:To: granite quote:To: granite quote:To: markoman It is factually incorrect that the Neilsen ratings were higher for Trump. quote:To: granite quote:To: granite There was not a single person in the thread that talked about things that were factually true. They pulled out all kinds of debunked excuses, including stuff like "yeah but when you look at photos taken from a low angle that hides the back of the crowd it looks packed" and "the MSM is telling a lie because the high level overview taken for the Trump turnout wasn't taken at the same time as the one for the Obama turnout!" There were zero posts discussing the counter-factual statements by Spicer.

A tale of two media outlets, part two. From White House press secretary attacks media for accurately reporting inauguration crowds posted by freeper lowbridge This is the excellent article by CNN's Brian Stelter, which does a point-by-point debunk of the poo poo that Spicer spewed out. One again, caution for autoplaying video with audio. Because this article contains objective facts contrary to freep's worldview, I'm sure they'll hate it. quote:To: lowbridge quote:To: lowbridge the Wikipedia article on Anna Politkovskaya posted:... was a Russian[1] journalist, writer, and human rights activist known for her opposition to the Second Chechen War and to the policies of Russian President Vladimir Putin.[3] [citation needed] quote:To: lowbridge I put "washington dc protest on september 12, 2009" into Google Image Search and pulled up plenty of photos. Also, this protest was in no way whatsoever the largest one in DC, with even the highest estimates placing it in the same range as yesterday's march. quote:To: lowbridge This was posted in a large font. quote:To: lowbridge quote:To: USFRIENDINVICTORIA quote:To: fireman15 quote:To: lowbridge This actually happened by the way. quote:To: UnBubba There was no sun at noon. It started raining only a minute or two after the swearing in was complete, and that happened at like two minutes past. quote:To: fireman15 quote:To: Daniel Ramsey quote:To: VisualizeSmallerGovernment; lowbridge; fella Obama's first inaguration, with 1.8 million attendees, had below-freezing temperatures. quote:To: lowbridge They are completely and utterly immune to objective fact. Their media outlets have told them lies about things that can be independently checked, and they're taking it as truth. They're enabling the Press Secretary to lie to their faces. I keep saying this, but we are so, so, so, so hosed.

I'm sorry, but I still have a hard time believing that most of these people are serious. I believe it, I'm just having a hard time. Has anybody ever studied the demographics of Freep?

I can see how elderly people who've been confined to their house for a while might not be too good at discerning fact from fiction on the internet. Most freepers are boomers (50-70). There are very few younger members. The above lower bounds estimate is likely accurate. Freep is a place where no dissent is tolerated. During each election cycle, if you speak out against the chosen candidate, you are made unwelcome and can often be banned. During W's administration they were under constant threat of trolling by a site called Democratic Underground, which has scarred them for life. New accounts that do not toe the party line are often accused of being trolls and are shouted down. If you're familiar with PJ's thread on authoritarians, then freep is a prime example of the "compaction cycle," though there are other names for the phenomenon. They are, unfortunately, real and serious. As far as the regulars can tell, there are only a handful that might be active trolls, like, say, WENDLE. The rest live in a fact-free bubble. They are one faction of Trump's primary support, and serve as a prime example of the dangers of the right wing media echo chamber.

McGlockenshire, you can keep saying we are "so, so hosed, hosed, hosed", but you miss something important. We're only hosed if we give up and stop resisting. Keep the flames of hate going, keep supporting events like the Women's March, keep scaring your politicans with frequent phone calls and threats of them losing re-election until they listen. We are only hosed if we let these retards rule. Yesterday proved they are small, vocal minority: we are the majority and we will not be silenced!

McGlockenshire posted:Most freepers are boomers (50-70). There are very few younger members. The above lower bounds estimate is likely accurate. Think of it this way. Freep started out with all spectrums of conservative, and over time the multiple purges have distilled it into the most hard lined authoritarians over time. If you show any sign of weakness, you get purged. To the point there are multiple freepers there that keep poo poo lists they send to Jim to try and have people banned. We've seen them posted. At the risk of doing a tired Godwin you basically have a Nazi regime here where the party condensed into the nutter extreme and are ready to make anyone disappear that shows a lack of conviction to the party or its leader. There list makers are their own little Gestapo. Breibart is their Goebbels. JimRob would be Himmler If you really look into them, it's crazy how much they match the Nazi regime. You can pretty much find a match for every high ranking party member within them. And they don't see it.

Not sure who here in the thread was a regular there, but Prester Jane had a really good thread going, Decoding Authoritarians, that dealt with her own experience being raised in authoritarian environments like religious fundamentalist cults, and she had her own vocabulary for what went on but overall had an extremely good working theory. Freep is a prime example of what she called a "compaction cycle". Her analogy is like a snowball: it's a lot of slush and mud when you pick it up, but you can squeeze out some of the mass and be left with a smaller, harder ball that hurts a lot more. Likewise, authoritarian groups often go through events in which the hardliners purge anyone who doesn't fully agree with their more extreme stance (while Stalinist Russia and Nazi Germany are known for their purges involving murder, in the first world this mostly involves being banned on forums or kicked out of church). The people who got kicked out sometimes shake their heads and get back to normal, but a lot of the time they just rejoin other groups and become hardliners themselves to avoid being rejected again. A lot of hard right groups, Freep included, have been going through crazy compaction cycles during the rise of the Tea Party, the alt-right, and now Donald Trump's presidency. Everyone but the worst of the worst have been kicked out, leaving the guys who unironically advocate hanging civil rights activists.

SocketWrench posted:Think of it this way. Freep started out with all spectrums of conservative, and over time the multiple purges have distilled it into the most hard lined authoritarians over time. Yeah, Freep used to be very mainstream. Radio/TV political pundit and GWB press secretary Tony Snow was an active member. It was a legitimate discussion forum for Republican ideas. I think when they all slowly realized GWB was leaving a pretty lovely legacy they were left without a clear direction, and then Obama got elected. They're mostly just broken sad people now who have had their dreams repeatedly fed into a meatgrinder by politicians they voted for.

Trump administration claims million person showing, use all sorts of claims to demand they're right. Claims are debunked including the transit usage, the mistaken photos of Obama's inagurations, the rain, etc from actual reality "Only 4 days in and those libs are lying already!" Jesus loving christ, the whole world would be laughing at us if not for the threat Trump would launch some sort of strike against them for it. I don't know what kind of crazy brain world you need to live in to decide that reality is lying to you. I just don't. I mean I can understand getting the wrong info and eventually being corrected. But goddamn, these guys just scream they're right against all evidence to the contrary and then shout down all dissent. Hell, the only reason this became a pissing match is because Trump gets all miffed over it because of his loving ego. Unfortunately we won't learn anything over the next 4-8 years and just keep re-electing these bastards because they can propaganda slam the US. Sure, there'll be a dem pres here and there, but we won't learn and just keep voting psychos into office again and again as the effects of the last shittacular conservative are forgotten in time.
