Narrative Manipulation on Full Display
Violence, murder, and evil are beyond vile, unacceptable, and must be punished to the full extent of the law. The violence that occurred by the man in today’s shootings at massage parlors in Georgia fall into this category. According to sources his motivation to such was not anti-Asian sentiments. Here is proof of how the left will manipulate a news cycle to fit their narrative.
According to the AP:
Robert Aaron Long, 21, told police that Tuesday’s attack was not racially motivated and claimed to have a “sex addiction,” with authorities saying he apparently lashed out at what he saw as sources of temptation. His parents called police after authorities posted his photo, helping lead to his capture. (APNEWS.com)
However, a congresswoman disputed the motivations of the accused killer. She claimed that white supremacy was the cause of the shooter actions:
“Dismantling racist, anti-Asian violence means standing up to white supremacy - the same ideology that asks us to empathize with those who commit racist violence rather than the families destroyed and communities targeted by it. – Alexandria Ocasio- Cortez Rep, NY-14 (Twitter.com)
Here is what she is talking about here because there is a lot to unpack. Leftists speak in code to one another, so they know who is in the “know”. The first part of the Tweet asserts white supremacists are responsible for violence against people of Asian heritage. Assuming she is referring to the horrific events which happened at Asian massage in Georgie today it appears the motive is not anti-Asian violence.
The next part of her Tweet is curious because she goes on to say the “white supremacy – the same ideology that asks to empathize with those who commit racist violence.” There are so many assumptions in the wording that needs to be unpacked. First, she is saying white supremacists empathize with racist violence which would be a fair take. That is only what you take what she is saying at face value because there is more beyond that.
If you judge individuals as people with individual motives for their actions, then this one whizzed passed you. You see if you are a passive observer who is not politically active and thought Trump was jerk but not a white supremacist you are going to miss this one. This is one of those operating assumptions leftists have about those who disagree with them that they are the white supremacists.
What she is talking about here is tearing the whole government system down and replacing it with the Green New Deal. Look at what she is saying, she is saying that white supremacists support Trump, therefore if you support Trump or Republicans then you too are supporting racist violence. This is ‘Repressive Tolerance’ on full display. The fact that they even allow republicans into the halls of government after the events in Washington DC on Jan 6th is an outrage for AOC.
For those in the cheap seats the mere existence of conservatism is the enemy of all progress. This old, outdated way of thinking has produced nothing but greed, hatred, and violence all throughout the existence of humanity. Freedom from insecurity of harm, hunger, clothing, and shelter for all of humanity trumps an individual’s rights that are harmful to the overall collective needs of society according to this leftist worldview.
They assert that war, poverty, and climate change could be eliminated if we could only move beyond our outmoded ways of thinking. Nothing can stay and it all has to go wholesale. All the old hierarchies, churches, businesses, schools, governments, borders, countries, math, science, art, and anything else from the past must go. None of it is any good because the mere existence of the negative aspects of humanity is proof these systems were doomed from the beginning.
This is a very real worldview for many people on the left right now. The ones who are in charge know it. The ones who disagree with them but allow them a place in their party have no idea how their tolerance for this type of thought is wrecking our common society.
