      That sound you hear? That's Nick Sandmann offering advice.

      I wonder how strong a defamation case he has. I've read that he's allegedly a "public figure" so the bar is higher.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        A lawsuit doesn’t stop this degradation of the American Psyche. She’s saying it because most of her viewers believe it. A lawsuit isn’t going to stop that. And yes, Horace there are those on the right that are just as bad. I point to the two Reps offering Congressional Internships to Rittenhouse.

              An internship offer is as bad as an entire political establishment reinforcing the idea in the heads of the masses that the judicial branch of government is hopelessly rigged based on skin color?

                By the way, that "Dexter" pic is from a "friend" on FB.

                I don't do politics there, so it took all my self-restraint to not say, "So, some vigilantes are good?"

                    Well the mayhem they're going to cause is going to lead to an assload of ratings for the short period of time that we continue to have an infrastructure.

                      At the danger of repeating myself once again, the US needs to tighten up the laws regarding the reporting of criminal cases.

                      Journalists who attempt to follow a juror home should go to jail.

                      Taking cameras out of the court room wouldn’t hurt, either. The media and a lot of the public are treating this like reality TV.

                      Complaining isn’t going to fix this.

                      I was only joking

                        It seems unrealistic to think anything is going to “fix” this. The left is content to be overtly tribal in the service of their full stop stance against racism, and the right has a choice to join them so that all their acquaintances know they are not racist, or continue to side politically with the right while being not racist but thought of as such. At least it beats joining them.

                                  A train wreck might get some eyeballs, but train wrecks don't make people feel good about themselves, unless they can somehow blame their tribe's enemy for it. The eyeballs are attracted to corporate media mostly because the media is in service of the tribalism. And tribalism is effective because it relates directly to meaning in a person's life. It reinforces their belief that they are on right side of history.

                                    But they apply the tribal spin to get those eyeballs. If we were better viewers and consumers of media, we wouldn’t be in this situation and the media wouldn’t be as bad as it is.

                                    And that does apply to both sides. One side may be more extreme about it, but that doesn’t absolve the other.

                                      This tribalism is about to destroy this whole frigging thing.

                                      It's not as much tribalism as media sensationalism. They want eyeballs, Truth be damned.

                                      And that is the truth.

                                      But they apply the tribal spin to get those eyeballs. If we were better viewers and consumers of media, we wouldn’t be in this situation and the media wouldn’t be as bad as it is.

                                      And that does apply to both sides. One side may be more extreme about it, but that doesn’t absolve the other.

                                      It's not just the CNNs and MSNBCs of the world. Fictitious leftist narratives are propagated everywhere from TV to movies to music to the classroom, grade one through university. But those reacting against "critical race theory" are just whatabouted out of the conversation, as if they're just as bad as the other tribe. Because they're reacting against total cultural domination of fictitious and destructive narratives. There's no way humans are going to be able to discard the nonsense out of the overwhelming tide of fiction they're fed from birth. That's not how humans operate.

                                      Well, it's about triaging the problems.

                                      Education is extremely important.

                                        critical race theory

                                        There is no equivalence there, CRT has been and is being promoted in schools. Oh, it might not be the exact same legal theory as proposed in Law Schools, but it is still based on the same “Antiracist, white fragility” crap, and the problem is that a milder version of the same curriculum has been in the schools for a generation without us realizing it. That’s why there is such a huge disconnect.
