I've seen tons of facebook posts already about this being a false flag by violent leftists to ban weapons. There were 4-5 different shooters. 10/1 was an inside job.

I'm not sure what your point is TBH. Is there a video that you think could change those peoples' minds? Or anything whatsoever? Nobody's trying to change the minds of devoted Lost Cause Appreciators, but there are plenty of people who know jack poo poo about history and are willing to listen to any convincing argument.

No, it's probably not gonna change a bunch of racist idiot's minds, but it might make people who sincerely think "well they say it's about heritage and not hate so it must be!" think twice about it and start to wonder.

if you drew a venn diagram of people that that piece was made for and people who believe the civil war was over states rights, not slavery, then circles wouldn't be overlapping at all

the problem with the second circle of people is that if you showed the information segments on a show that they would watch they would probably dismiss it as liberal BS, political correctness, whatever, creeping into their shows. it feels like hate and distrust just permeates through these people and i dont know how to get through to them

You can't. Just like there is no way to convince people that 9/11 and sandy hook were not hoaxes. The best thing to do is get out in front and keep more from joining them rather than trying to fix the ones who are already broke brain

Pretty much this. Oliver's not trying to convince people who actually buy into the idea that the civil war is about states rights. He's reaching out towards people who genuinely don't know and have no strong opinions in either direction.

I know this mind blowing for some but the vast majority of Americans don't hold strong opinions about why the south seceded or the real causes behind the Civil War.

It's super dumb, but I can't stop myself. This is just kind of how I do things.
One of my right wing coworkers who voted for Trump just posted this to Facebook:

quote:

So let me see if I've got this straight; the Vice President left Last Vegas (where we just had one of the most horrific shootings in history), flew to Indy to watch the 49ers (Colin Kaepernick's former team, the team that has more players kneel than any other team in the NFL) play the colts on Peyton Manning's day, and immediately leaves and flies to California because he's so "offended" by the "disrespect". Which if you have any brains at all you can see he knew players were gonna kneel and knew he was going to leave. And Republicans (who bashed the Obama administration for years for wasting tax payers money) applaud him for wasting OUR money to go to a football game that he never had any intention of staying at? So while our country is dealing with this shooting, trying to rebuild after all these terrible storms, and oh by the way we had another horrible March in Charlottesville the President sends his boy to a football GAME? So he can continue harping on this stupid point? This is insanity!

Fox News itself is incredibly logical from a business point of view. They spout out dumb talking points that get conservatives fired up and then collect billions in advertising revenue, laughing all the way to the bank. It's similar to the firearms industry using Obama's election to bring in billions from paranoid gun nuts. Is it immoral? Yeah, but it's certainly logical.

Best thing imo is to mock them. An acquaintance of mine is a Sandy Hook truther, so I take every opportunity to gently caress with him. I posted on his wall for his birthday, "Have you considered that your parents are just crisis actors and your birthday is an elaborate hoax? Check out this video to learn more!" and rickrolled him.
