Am I reaching here? Does anyone else see the hypocrisy? Can you add to this example?

If liberals didn’t have double-standards they wouldn’t have any standards at all.

I think that Otto Warmbier might have been a misguided idealist. There is a subculture of true believers who genuinely believe leftist propaganda. If you are not aware of this propaganda, it basically states over and over how wonderful and compassionate the most totalitarian and brutal regimes are, while constantly pounding on the horrors of a capitalistic society. It is difficult to describe this propaganda and impart its full impact; I am very familiar with it because I used to listen to Radio Moscow in the days of the USSR, and because I have a relative who listens to Pacifica, which promulgates essentially the same kind of propaganda (the relative wants to convert everyone, so anyone visiting gets a dose of the propaganda).

Anyway, if Warmbier was a true believer, he most likely visited North Korea expecting to see a paradise, and was utterly unprepared for the reality of the regime.

Blacks get stirred up and riot. It takes a lot more to stir up whites. The thug is pandered to to quell the possibility of a riot. The riot won’t be put down due to the “visuals” of seeing blacks “mistreated”. The propaganda machine has worked well. Whites who defend society or themselves are greedy oppressive haters of minorities.

VERY simple...

Otto STOLE a poster.

Michael WAS a poster-boy.

Bottom line is they were both stupid.

Leftists never live by the dictates the give to the rest of us. Its been true of Russian, Chinese, N Korean, Cuban elite and all the rest. Bernie Sanders comes to mind with Hollywood leftists. Just a fact of life.

White people don’t riot, burn buildings, and loot their neighborhoods when things don’t go their way.

Sorry to sound harsh.
