AM Fest is a stochastic terrorism palooza.










Holy shit! This is the kind of hate speech that leads to violence, terrorism and genocide. Also too pretty sure a lot of the people at this shit show shouldn't be allowed within 500 feet of schools or playgrounds.

chosen/developed to inflame MAGA passions. It's apparently taking increasingly more extreme ideas to match the results they used to get. Next time the children will be toddlers and their parents implanted with chips?

...ever more extreme alt-right material is plagiarized from 4Chan/8Chan/whatever-the-hell-they-call-it-now, airbrushed so that it's a little less ugly, and then made into old wine in new bottles, as we see here. None of this garbage is new or original. It started at places like r/Incels (now banned) and the various websites, some now defunct, owned by MRA/PUAs like Roosh V. The only thing that might be called "original" about the mainstreaming process is how it is seemingly randomly broken up and rearranged, like making sentences in a word game. Just string together words like "SJW", "purple hair", "woke", "George Soros", "groomers", and "Democrat Party". Demonizing and dehumanizing the political process couldn't be easier.

5. It's McCarthyism / Limbaughism 2.0.

Now with automatic updates direct from Fox News, Twitter, and the dark corners of the internet.

To me what is even scarier is that this event was marketed to high school and college aged youth. You want to know how you get Nazis? This is how you get Nazis.

...because the rhetoric has been getting hotter over the last couple of years. And today, Trump tweeted...er..."Truthed" out a message to his fans about how the country is afflicted with a "cancer" and it "must be dealt with".

They are getting closer to the infamous "time to cut down the tall trees" incitements that were seen in Rwanda in the '90s. It's not a good look for the American political process.

Shit, while I was out making my rounds today, I was driving by the local synagogue and they had police protection because of the rising presence of hate crimes. In my town!

I am truly scared of the direction this country is heading in. I'm sick of the hate coming from the right. It's totally out of control.

7. That is exactly right. They use trigger words to elicit an emotional response.

People who are ruled by emotion are immune to logic, facts, evidence.

I'm sure folks are tired of me repeating this, but these conservative agitators use classic psy-ops techniques.
