Let's play 'spot the peaceful protester'
American Thinker ^ | 23 Mar, 2022 | Kevin McGary

The entire world seems to have pivoted to utter insanity. Historical standards of decorum have been turned upside-down. Now societies worldwide have devolved such that ideologues are describing truly peaceful protests as hateful, insurrectionist riots while they embrace actual hateful, insurrectionist violent riots as noble and virtuous "peaceful protests." How do we reorient our minds to comprehend this arcane and incomprehensible path to tyranny?

During the protests and riots of 2020 (in response to George Floyd's death), violent rage took to the streets of almost every major city. George Floyd, to coin a phrase, was all the rage! Thousands raged by looting businesses, fires raged as businesses were burned to the ground, and hostilities raged as rioters unleashed violent acts of hateful fury on city government buildings and anyone in law enforcement. Yet countless blatant acts of unfettered rage, violence, and criminality were deemed "peaceful protests."

Even though many were captured on camera committing crimes, comparatively few people were arrested. "Legacy media," pundits, and race-baiting apologists wanted and expected Americans nationwide to participate in mass self-deception. They hoped we would deceive ourselves by believing that we were not actually observing what we observed. They wished we would cast off logic, reason, prudence, and history of observable truths and definitions to embrace a mass illusion that the looting and violence we witnessed were in fact noble, virtuous "peaceful protests."

SNIP

The definition of peaceful protests used to refer to mass marches and chants of dissatisfaction (while unarmed). Many Americans don't realize that that definition exactly describes the protesters in D.C. on January 6, 2021. They were unarmed as they marched toward the Capitol buildings, chanting displeasure with the presidential election outcome. Media and commentators called this group "hateful," "White Supremacists," and insurrectionists.

The left instinctively sides with evil.

When the left succeeded in getting the ineligible Kenyan from Indonesia into the White House, in direct contravention of the natural born citizen clause’s purpose of keeping foreigners out of the Oval Office, we lost our country.

And even here on FR we have people who will argue until they are blue in the face that people born with multiple nationalities are natural born citizens, the exact opposite of the intent of the requirement.

And, they want (delight in) your being outraged at this.

So, deny them. Just laugh or mutter “AS**e” and walk off.

It’s kinda like some TWOT insisting that you address them in the gender flavor of the day. Just refuse. Nope.
