The media has stretched "far-right extremism" so far that it now covers almost anything they disagree with
They’ve changed the definition. It used to mean neo-Nazis. Now it means parents at school boards, people who want secure borders, or anyone who rejects modern progressive orthodoxy
Real far-right extremism... the violent, fringe kind....is extremely rare. But the media inflates the term so aggressively that actual extremism gets buried under mountains of propaganda labeling normal opinions as dangerous
This isn’t sloppy journalism. It’s a deliberate strategy: expand the definition of "extremist" until half the population is in the category. Then you can justify censorship, deplatforming, and social punishment while turning people against each other
Let me get this straight…
Apparently, an ICE agent being struck by a car is not enough to create reasonable fear of serious bodily harm.
But Karmelo Anthony being shoved during a confrontation he allegedly escalated, going on to say, “touch me and see what happens,” where he was then pushed, is enough to justify pulling a knife and stabbing someone in the chest?
That isn’t a consistent self-defense standard. That’s a tribal and political standard.
Either imminent serious bodily harm matters, or it doesn’t. The logic isn’t logic’ing.
I think it’s crazy he even needs to put out a statement on the crew selection and Starship’s selection for Artemis III.
A true shame most people can’t think critically about spaceflight
The reactions to the Karmelo Anthony verdict are a reminder: there are people in this country who believe they can stab you, kill you, and walk free, because their skin color is different than yours.
Seems like the Black community never demands “justice” with this kind of energy when Black people are killing each other.
The outrage machine only turns on when a white person is involved.
There are far more cases of Black victims being killed by Black perpetrators where justice is absolutely deserved, families are destroyed, and innocent people are dead… but those cases rarely get the same outrage or attention.
It’s almost like it’s not about justice. It’s about tribal outrage, who can be blamed, and the racial narrative.
Hmm. Pretty odd, if you ask me.
