I had a co worker who years ago while in the Marine Corps had been sent to Liberia to help train government soldiers. He said that when he got back to America he got down on the ground and kissed the dirt. These kids have no idea if they think the US is the worst country. How much do they believe this stuff, and how much do they just need a cause?
Countries are usually in trouble when a large proportion of young men are unmarried, that's probably why the wild west was wild.
Go Fund Me would not allow donations for the Kyle Rittenhouse defense fund.
Rittenhouse and the five rules of propaganda, from my essay on propaganda:
Rule 1: He crossed state lines and went to a rally for minority rights and shot three people, killing two. It was left for the casual listener to assume that he shot three innocent black protesters rather than three white criminals. Little if any mention of the attempts on his life, or that Kenosha was being burned and looted.
Rule 2: He was white and carrying a rifle so must have been a racist. Even the president of the U.S. Called him a white supremacist with no evidence.
Rule 3: There has been a cultural attack on the right of self defense in general since the Clinton administration, if not before. The culture as a whole is constantly called racist and fascist.
Rule 4: He received no fair consideration from the main stream media or the prominent. A situation was created such that all were expected take the side against him so as not to be considered a fascist. His legal team was even barred from using GoFundMe, and people lost their jobs for sending money to his defense fund.
Rule 5: The negative message was all one would here. Jokes were made at his expense.
There is an admonition in the Bible; woe to those who call good evil and evil good. Those who practice the five rules of propaganda should be wary of oncoming woe.
Thanks so much for your comment. Nothing to disagree with, David. If I'm remembering correctly, the three people Rittenhouse shot were white Antifa; they were also maladjusted, suicidal, homeless, drugs, jail time and so on. The left often comes to conclusions they want; white supremacist, racist, etc. I saw a lot of the world when I was young. Lived overseas for thirty years. The exotic was fascinating, but often alien. I eventually concluded that there is no place like home. I sometimes showed my super eight movies to students, showing the miserable lives of kids in other countries. I told them, for example, how lucky and thankful they should be to not be begging for "backsheesh" money in Egypt, and to have bugs coming and going in their eyes and noses. There but for the grace of God go I.
