I’ve been to multiple protests and the folks there wear masks more frequently than any store I’ve visited in the same timeframe.

But thanks for the tired ass take of “oh the left wants to protest police brutality as if that’s more important than going to Applebee’s” that’s been spouted hundreds of times.

Quite the intellectual trailblazer.



in the pics where there are 100+ protesters a super majority are wearing masks. In hisnpics where there are maybe 50 people masks are few and far between. His own pictures prove him wrong.

Stop fucking whining about hypocrisy. It’s not the same thing. Trumps indoor maskless rallies and outdoor masked protests have very little in common.




You're right, it's not the same thing. The protesting is far worse.

I don't care how many people have worn masks. There have been more protesters in the streets that have not worn masks than there have been people without masks at a Trump rally.

This is like, 1st grade level math. We call it counting.



I'm not sure you know how to count then. Your own pictures show a pretty high mask to no mask ratio.

you should at least attempt to be intellectually honest.





This thread has nothing to do with whether or not masks work.

It has everything to do with the blatant hypocrisy on the part of the media.



The media?  You haven't in any way supported an argument that the media is hypocritical, and the title of this thread has literally nothing to do with the media.  If you want to show that the media is hypocritical, you have to establish:

1. The media makes statements against a particular practice or conduct, AND
2. The media engages in that same practice or conduct.

That's hypocrisy.  It appears the conduct you're referring to is the refusal to wear a mask.  You haven't established that the media refuses to wear masks.

Maybe you were actually trying to argue inconsistency in the media...or perhaps bias.  If so, you should have chosen those words instead of "hypocrisy."




Exactly. "the title of this thread has literally nothing to do with the media"

The OP thinks that whenever it suits his convenience, he can equate "the left", "the protesters" and "the media".

So you protest "the left", therefore you are a protester, therefore you are the left, therefore you are the media and being completely hypocritical about whatever point you're trying to make

And that's just straight logic

Before I reply to this, I HAVE to know.

Are you trolling me, or are you being serious?

Either way, we have a problem.

Eh, I was on the left until 2015. I'd say it's more that the media cherry picks their narrative in the same way Christians cherry pick the Bible. I have sympathy, having come from that world. It's more ignorance that it is malicious intent... usually.

It's all bullshit when you get the full story, though.

Democrats are officially the party of war:

DEMOCRATS Prevent Trump Withdrawing Troops From Afghanistan!


--------------------
I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them.  I also attack my side if I think they're wrong.  People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

"The Media" isn't a monolith. I'm sure there is a bunch of white guys bitching about BLM protestors spreading Covid on AM radio. The facts remain that indoor group gatherings are the highest risk.

I understand I'm using general terms, but you're going to have to elaborate on your point to give me more context.

Yes, but their FOLLOWERS are vastly different right now.

I'm inclined to disagree. George Carlin and Bill Hicks would too, and they're my spirit animals.

On smaller networks, sure. But when you turn on your TV, you're not gonna get those channels without paying for the biggest package on Comcast.

Sure, but that doesn't negate all the damage that BLM rioters have done to spread covid like the hypocrites they are.

Putting people you never met, spome with or interacted with in any way, into a bucket then stating theyre all scum is the same logic as saying all blacks are ghetto.

when you hear in the newsnthat so-and-so is doing something bad, its almost always the one making the accusation that are doing that exact thing.  Trump is racist = I am racist.

Depends on the bucket.  If it's a bucket of their choosing, that choice is fair game for judgment.  Last I checked, which was admittedly years ago, no one was being drafted to the police force.
