The MSM and Q both fight for a slice of the disinformation pie. I can't blame someone for believing Q. When MSM gets away with a reporter standing in front of a burning city and saying it's a "Fiery but mostly peaceful protest" there's a problem. On one hand, people are stupid. On the other, people are smarter than you think. Somewhere in the back of their brain they can tell when they are being lied to when a scene like this unfolds on the TV news. Conspiracy fills the missing gap when things don't add up to the party line. And because of that, as long as people are lied to for "their own good", there will be a chasm waiting to be filled with a reason and conspiracy fills that void. Over the past year people have been denying inflation is happening. I've watched people here snidely tear into anyone suggesting inflation has increased above the ordinary annual rate of 1-2%. In the past 2 months I've personally heard NPR extol the virtues of inflation and then even deny it's happening. Anyone who does their own grocery shopping understands this is a massive lie. JPow lies to our faces every time he gets up and says it's "transitory inflation". But of course the danger is that if the Fed even whispers the I word it can induce inflation to actually take off. So, lies abound, all for our own good. The nature of the state is that it lies to us. You can believe the lies as-is and maby have a happy life if you are in the middle-class. You can silently accept they are lies but act on the reality that you can perceive. And you can search for a reason why what you are told doesn't match up with reality.

I can't blame someone for believing Q. I can; when they attack the Capitol of the country I live in and kill people. Regardless of what they believe they have crossed a line at that point and that type of behavior can not be forgiven or tolerated in a civilized society.

  No one besides a cop killed anyone though, or are you thinking of the CHAZ state capitol take over? Jan6th, there were a few deaths, one murder by cop, others were heart attacks and one stampeded I believe. One officer was initially reported as murdered by fire extinguisher but his autopsy came back he had a stroke due to natural causes. I don't believe anyone in J6 was charged with having a gun or even insurrection. They all got slapped with misdemeanors for trespassing. Yeah they shouldn't have been there, but many videos inside just show them talking with cops and taking selfies. -- edit: to user below because I'm at my post limit -- Sicknick is the officer I'm talking about, he died of natural causes, no evidence it was due to pepper spray either. https://lawandcrime.com/u-s-capitol-siege/capitol-police-officer-brian-sicknick-died-of-natural-causes-after-suffering-two-strokes-day-after-jan-6-report/ https://lawandcrime.com/u-s-capitol-siege/capitol-police-off... > Prosecutors never alleged that the bear spray they allegedly used played a role in Sicknick’s death. > D.C. Medical Examiner Francisco J. Diaz told the Post that the autopsy found no evidence that Sicknick had an allergic reaction to the spray and disclosed to the paper that he did not find evidence of internal or external injuries. Also, shooting an unarmed person is something we were protesting the whole year but on that day it's fine. Both of her hands were shown when she was climbing, he could have arrested her. She had no weapon and was no threat. Remember those weeks where the country was reviewing every police encounter (the guy who stole the taser, the kid who turned with the gun, the girl trying to stab the other girl with the knife) and everyone was debating whether they could have shot them in the leg or something. It just seems when you're on the wrong side it's fine for a cop to shoot you unarmed.

    > one murder by cop I think the event you are referring to was ruled a "justifiable homicide". Also, you are missing the case of 42 year old Brian Sicknick, a cop who had two strokes and died after being pepper-sprayed during the riot. That wasn't classified as murder, but the medical investigator found that "all that transpired played a role in his condition". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_United_States_Capitol_attack#Casualties https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_United_States_Capitol_att...

    > I don't believe anyone in J6 was charged with having a gun or even insurrection. They all got slapped with misdemeanors for trespassing. Yeah they shouldn't have been there, but many videos inside just show them talking with cops and taking selfies. The full list of charges is here: https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/capitol-breach-cases https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/capitol-breach-cases Just the 7th entry on that list includes a gun possession charge. A charge for insurrection is unlikely to be brought, as I don't think the events meet the legal definition of insurrection, but sedition charges have been brought (179 search results for "Obstruction of an official proceeding").

    > the autopsy found no evidence that Sicknick had an allergic reaction to the spray and disclosed to the paper that he did not find evidence of internal or external injuries. I'm not accusing anyone of murder (unlike you did), I'm just saying that if the riot hadn't happened, he probably wouldn't have had those strokes that day. > It just seems when you're on the wrong side it's fine for a cop to shoot you unarmed. Or, more like, when you're trespassing with hundreds of violent criminals, a cop may need to secure a perimeter to protect himself.

  Awesome. What about all those "peaceful protestors" that burned our cities all summer last year? Can we agree they all crossed the line too? Can we not forgive them or tolerate them as well?

MSM (I had to look that up) is entertainment. It's designed to entertain people and to make money from ads. The "alternative" media is also made to make money from ads. What do you expect? A lot of people are addicted to news, and media companies made a sport out of it.
