If you're on edge politically. If you're getting increasingly angry about what some major political figures are saying. If you're feeling that people who disagree with you are saying things so harmful they must be stopped, even with violence if necessary.

Stop. Mass media is powerful. It plays to our frustrations and fears and causes and strongest emotions.

Don't be a psychological victim of media. It's a terrible trick. The severity of news and articles and claims is lesser than it sounds 98% of the time.

Step away from it. Interrupt the manipulation of your emotions, the escalation of your distress. The world is not the distorted picture media paints.

Don't be fooled. Be well instead.

@GadSaad Also, what about that indigeneity thing the woke are so worked up about? https://t.co/3oB74oYATM

[WJ @WinJPR]

One thing I noticed about the indigenous people crowd is that they don't seem concerned about the Islamic Ottoman Empire conquering the Levant in the 16th century, or the Islamic Mamluk Sultanate conquering it before that. Nor what group is the indisputably most indigenous population to the land of Israel/Palestine still in existence: https://t.co/tBcCRYF0U5

My my, how familiar.

STRANGLING NECKS - Abductions, Torture and Summary Killings of Palestinians by Hamas Forces During the 2014 Gaza/Israel Conflict

"Hamas forces used the abandoned areas of al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City, including the outpatients' clinic area, to detain, interrogate, torture and otherwise ill-treat suspects, even as other parts of the hospital continued to function as a medical centre."

@DannyManDeBo @nypost Exactly.

[WJ @WinJPR]

@greatlion76 @ConceptualJames I'd like to think so but there does seem a sizable impact beyond that. Then again, I suspect that's a consequence much more of the woke left's institutional infiltration, so you could be right.

[WJ @WinJPR]

@BowTiedEnder3 Hardly news, but plainly a great many aren't aware of it. If they were, there's quite a lot of idiocy they'd be prevented from uttering.

As to why he committed the act, agreed.

[WJ @WinJPR]

Having just skimmed a fair number of comments, I have a question.

How. The unholy fuck. Are so many people. ASSUMING. Karmelo Anthony stabbing Austin Metcalf had anything to do with Metcalf being white?

Lemme let you in on a lil FACT. Even proportionately, black people in the U.S. kill more black people than white people.

No way, right? Can't be. Wrong. Yes way. It's a fact, not an opinion.

You do NOT know Metcalf's being white had anything to do with why Anthony stabbed him. You can "just decide" you do know, because thinking isn't your thing. But you do not know.

That matters especially because all you're doing when you communicate that assumption is setting an example of the very thinking that results in nonstop unjustifiable accusations of racism.

In other words, you're part of the damn problem. You're not only doing what woke scum do, you're encouraging it.

Hate crime based on WHAT? And why specify victim race at all? There is zero basis offered why we should assume her being white had anything to do with it. Could have, but I've heard no evidence for that.

Specifying victim race in an instance like this sets a terrible precedent and example for thinking. We already have an obscene epidemic of assumptions that any time someone white does anything bad to someone who's black then it MUST have stemmed from racism. Those assumptions and implications are immoral and societal poison.

It's equally unjustifiable in reverse, and it promotes that practice in every race perpetrator-victim direction. Time for everyone to knock that crap off.

[WJ @WinJPR]

She pays surprisingly little attention to the U.S. coming out ahead of Russia on nearly every quality of life index metric across many decades through the present.

Russia is ahead on cost of living, but their notably lesser median income makes that one moot. Only thing modestly favoring Russia is safety/crime in cities.

[WJ @WinJPR]

@SSBak_i @MattWalshBlog That there is some quality trolling.

[WJ @WinJPR]

@MattWalshBlog More than I thought, too. And 17.5 years would be the minimum, not a sure thing. Maybe not an optimal but at least not an insanely lenient sentence.

[WJ @WinJPR]

@libsoftiktok Seems about right to me.

[WJ @WinJPR]

Meh. It's probably not a fair assessment because there's so much missing about people in media accounts, but frankly the kid came off to me as a dick. Bully-boy attitude. That does not excuse in the least anyone murdering him, but let's not start worshiping him just because he was a victim.

[WJ @WinJPR]

@amandababs93 @emilyjuniper_ WTH does post-2000 West-focused feminism have to do with gender equality? Zilch. Unless one is referring to the vile, disingenuous, imbecilic bigotry of equality of outcomes rather than of rights and opportunity, there is zero gender inequality in the advanced West.

[WJ @WinJPR]

@Teslarati I have driven tens of thousands of miles on the NY thruway with cruise control at 77-79. Speed "limit" is 65. Flown right by cops hundreds of times. Nothing. No problem. Never been pulled over for those speeds. Likely because they know: 65 MPH on major highways is ridiculous.

[WJ @WinJPR]

@rjthom91 @BeyondDeception @Breaking911 Bless your heart. :-D

[WJ @WinJPR]

Genius, "just by going" doesn't qualify as premeditation. At best it qualifies as "acting like an asshole, in a manner that might be considered generally provocative." For premeditation there would have to be evidence of prior intent to end the life of the individual Austin Wayne Metcalf. And there is no such evidence.

[WJ @WinJPR]

Not given what "cold blood" means. This was not a calculated well in advance murder, absent of real-time escalating conflict. It was clearly a heat of the moment act.

As far as "excusing the inexcusable," you need remedial reading. Reread the comment you responded to, maybe you'll see how ridiculously obvious it is I'm not doing that.
