What's with Breitbart?????

[LAS14]

I friended Breitbart on Facebook, just so I could get a look at what the other side is up to (most unexpected were the numbers of photos of Trump and Melania in formal attire). Today there were three separate posts showing Sanders, O'Rourke and Maxine Waters with quotes from them against Trump's racism. But they weren't off the wall quotes. They were rational, true quotes. I would think Breitbart wouldn't want to spread them around. I'm puzzled.

1. I don't give a shit what is on Breitbart.

And I am guessing 99% here don't, either.

2. What's up with you friending Breitbart?

You don’t need to friend him to see what kind of bullshit he’s posting and you don’t need to drag that shit in here.

4. It's basic Sun Tzu

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Following Bretibart directly gives you a feed into what the enemy is hearing, real time and unfiltered. Intelligence agencies sacrifice lives to find out that kind of stuff.

I read Breitbart, and Freep, and Voat and 8Chan and TheDonald, and others, regularly. It's disgusting, but I know just how bad our opponents are.

5. You don't know by now what they are up to?!!!

Some people are slow learners, I guess.

6. The basics are obvious, of course.

But how they individually react on a day to day basis isn't something you can find out from anything less than actually diving in and looking at what they have to say. It's not enjoyable by any means, some things I've read make me go to the gym and beat the fuck out of a bag while on the verge of tears, but it's useful intelligence.

8. Does one need to add to their "friend" count in order to access this information?

If I thought the OP’s motives were benign we would not be having this discussion, I can assure.

9. Not sure but maybe OP just meant "liked" their page

Most pages like those are public pages that anybody can "like" and follow

[ZZenith]

10. Facebook does not require one to "like" a page in order to read it,

and doing so connotes agreement with their morally bankrupt positions.

[sir pball]

13. Fair enough, I don't Like or Follow any of them.

They make them all publicly accessible, so reading them doesn't necessitate any kind of endorsement. Not sure what OP is on about.

[ZZenith]

14. I wish you well.

[sir pball]

15. Not gonna lie, some of the shit I see is deeply disturbing

But I have a very low opinion of humanity in general (thanks Hobbes) so it's not surprising.

11. It's basic Vito Corleone

Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.

[sir pball]

12. Eeeew, I wouldn't want to actually be close to any of them.

The great thing about the Internet is that it lets me hear what they say without having to actually be near them.

Thanksgiving is bad enough with my RWNJ nutjob family, thanks.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

16. What, no hugs for Steve Bannon?

No fist-bump with Miller, Mulvaney, Kushner?

No burgers with the big guy?

I hear you about RWNJ relatives.

[sir pball]

18. Ehhh, I might like to get close to Miller...

But then I'd be on trial, no further comment.

3. Perhaps Bekah Mercer is dating a liberal guy now and

wants to make a better impression. Seriously, I think her right wing activism is damaging her standing in upscale Manhattan social circles.

7. I used to troll Breitbart

But they banned me from their boards. The only time I can do it now is when I'm traveling and using a different ip address.
Same thing on GAB. Ulta right websites don't approve of any free speech that doesn't support their twisted reality of hate and violence.

17. Hedging, they know Red Don's days on office are numbered

19. Lotsa Rtussian Bots and trolls in 2016

Fuck Brietbart

He's fucking dead.
