The guardian reports on a sobering event in Washington DC.

US police have arrested a man wielding an assault rifle who entered a pizza restaurant that was the target of fake news reports it was operating a child abuse ring led by Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and her top campaign aide.

[...] The suspect entered the restaurant and pointed a gun at a restaurant employee, who fled and notified authorities, police said. The man then discharged the weapon inside the restaurant. There were no injuries.

[...] [Police] said the suspect during an interview with investigators revealed that he came to the establishment to "self-investigate" Pizzagate, the police statement said. Pizzagate is a baseless conspiracy, which falsely claims Clinton and her campaign chief John Podesta were running a child sex ring from the restaurant's backrooms.

    +1 Underrated Post

    I am a huge fan of Milo, there is no way any of the loonies on the left can win an argument with him based on facts and logic, so they result to hyperbole attacks claiming that even listening to his arguments is WRONG. I watched video after video of a femi-nazi ambush of Milo, and he always turns it around on them. They cannot win, and it drives them insane.

    I don't even like Milo. I find him to be a blowhard. Same with Harris.

    But occasionally, they do make good points.

    But that is a pretty long way away from thinking they are some Svengali-like characters, able to corrupt the minds of all that hear them. This is the level of absurdity we are dealing with now.

    And most who aren't heavily invested in either narrative (although being moderate is synonymous with being alt-right iat the moment, so maybe there is a point) see this as obvious censorship under the guise of "it's for your own good". If you really want to talk about the start of fascism, it isn't Trump, it's this.

    When Micah Johnson went on to kill cops in Dallas, BLM supporters were quick to point out how he was obviously mentally ill, and that it had nothing to do with them.

    That this most recent shooting is somehow different just reeks of lies and hypocrisy.

      > although being moderate is synonymous with being alt-right

      If you consider "white nationalism" to be moderate, you aren't moderate.

      That logic only works if you believe that BLM's issues are also a falsehood.
      Which would be in line with believing that white nationalism is a moderate belief. So I guess you cleared that up!

        If you consider "white nationalism" to be moderate, you aren't moderate.

        Indeed. I like to think of myself as being a Christian evangelical whose politics is center-right. And by center-right I mean the real center-right, not the abomination that the GOP has transmogrified itself into. I want nothing to do with the alt-right. It offends me that anyone would think to equate the two. Anyone who thinks that "being moderate is synonymous with being alt-right" doesn't have a clue what they are talking about.
