This sounds like an absolutely hysterical reaction to someone pointing out the effects of watching CNN who have been pursuing a narrative intended to make people scared. As evidenced by polling in September that showed that Democrats significantly overestimated the danger of COVID. It's hilarious that people like you will underplay the issue of misinformation when it's disseminated about COVID when there has been no single bigger political issue in the world for the past 2 years. Restrictions put in place are not costless and have real impact on people's lives. As for your laundry list of crazed conspiracy theories, I have a hard time believing that Fox News has been publishing them. So they don't seem analogous to results of CNN coverage. They sound far more like the sort of thing that propagates from 4chan into social media. Regardless, they can't be that common as you have also said they intend to massacre their opponents. Seeing as we're 10 months into the Biden presidency you'd think we'd have started seeing these massacres by now. Maybe they're like the next Jan 6th the FBI is always warning against, always another month away. https://www.brookings.edu/research/how-misinformation-is-distorting-covid-policies-and-behaviors/ https://www.brookings.edu/research/how-misinformation-is-dis...

Enjoy continuing to deny reality, I'm sure it brings you some bizarre form of joy in your life. Most of these people are waiting for orders by their "glorious leader" and grifting ilk. Do you just dissociate from when the last president had a speech telling them to walk across the lawn to the Capitol building and fight their way to overturn the "unfair election" that resulted in an armored police officer beaten to fucking death? JK, he must've gotten paid to be a crisis actor and die, right? Do you know what is required to beat somebody in body armor to death? Especially when they're surrounded by other cops...? https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/10/27/when-do-we-get-use-guns-ongoing-danger-false-fraud-claims/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/10/27/when-do-w... _ https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-joe-biden-police-texas-lawsuits-29dcd0caf62ce6a0f36efbf24c0e31c2 https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-joe-biden-police-tex... _ https://mobile.twitter.com/PDXzane/status/1429606435030061057 https://mobile.twitter.com/PDXzane/status/142960643503006105... https://www.opb.org/article/2021/08/22/far-right-activists-counterprotesters-gather-in-portland/ https://www.opb.org/article/2021/08/22/far-right-activists-c... _ https://mobile.twitter.com/mxtaliajane/status/1434307985359114245 https://mobile.twitter.com/mxtaliajane/status/14343079853591... https://mobile.twitter.com/AlissaAzar/status/1452838658705219584 https://mobile.twitter.com/AlissaAzar/status/145283865870521... https://mobile.twitter.com/AlissaAzar/status/1434679743408840704 https://mobile.twitter.com/AlissaAzar/status/143467974340884... https://mobile.twitter.com/AlissaAzar/status/1434679749184421889 https://mobile.twitter.com/AlissaAzar/status/143467974918442...

  What was the name of the officer beaten to death? Are you talking about Brian Sicknick, the man who died of natural causes? Since you just browse HN, here's a link you may enjoy https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26867634 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26867634 My criticism of your posts is that you are basing this off of an extreme minority of people. The media would like you to believe they exist in great numbers, to keep you afraid and engaged with their product. You are certainly correct that they do exist; however I firmly do not believe they exist in the numbers that you suggest.

    I bet the next thing you're going to tell me is that his body just "did this", naturally of course. https://imgur.com/a/PJoqdjS https://imgur.com/a/PJoqdjS Oh yeah - can't forget this one either. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QrrrX5oBADA https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QrrrX5oBADA Probably just undercover liberals. Those security forces were trying to give the warmest of welcomes to enter aside from those few crisis actors at the front of the mob. Linking me to a HN thread in which the first comments are praising a Christian Zionist also isn't a great help to the cause of your reasoning. You clearly don't want to be a reasonable person and have a reasonable discussion. > The media would like you to believe they exist in great numbers, to keep you afraid and engaged with their product. Don't know why you're mentioning this at all. Has nothing to do with the discussion, nor do I believe anybody who frequents HN is unaware of this. > You are certainly correct that they do exist; however I firmly do not believe they exist in the numbers that you suggest. If you'd like to get into how many states you've traveled to, what parts of those states you've stayed in, the duration you stayed in them and how social you were during those times, the amount of people/friends you have scattered across the nation in various regions & how often you discuss these matters with them, how long you've spent in/with/around any of the major organized religious sects of the US - feel free I guess. Aside from that, I'm going to conclude you really don't have the scope you think you do based on what you've already stated.
