Maybe, maybe not. Their post history doesn't imply to me anything other than that they feel strongly about the subject. A glance through their post history doesn't suggest otherwise to me, but I tend to give broad leeway for lengthier time periods.
Considering the antisemitic comment, the blaming of antifa for actions where right wing instigators were found, the promotion of spoiler candidates....
I'm going to have to strongly disagree with your perspective. If they felt strongly about it, they'd know more about the third parties they reference.
But they dont. You can give them that leeway of course, but I'm not going to.
Edit: Other folks browsing, don't down vote Maeve because they want to see the better of people. That's generally a good thing.
Hi, thanks so much for your kind words. I'm working on finding a sweet spot between healthy skepticism and cynicism, kindness and gullibility. It's tricky, and both cause unnecessary suffering, for all parties involved. While I'd prefer to be inerrant, that's not very realistic, since I'm human. I'm learning, and that means mistakes. Thank you again for your kind words.
Humans are, inherently, messy. Plenty of terrible people have done good things, whether they meant to or not, whether their motive was good or not. Its just the reality.
Its why all we can do is try to be the best we can be, but we all have to look at how people act and make our best judgment.
I entirely missed their antisemitic comments in a wall of text with lots of other right wing propaganda mixed in, and someone else highlighted it.
Its these talking points, which are intended to confuse and misdirect people who do want better, that you also need to be aware of to accurately identify.
And it sucks.
Maybe one day things will be better. I hope so. Unfortunately, I don't think it will while certain individuals/parties/leaders use all kinds of nefarious means to spread their hate.
Their wording could have been much better. I'm thinking "hasbara," but their wording was awful. But again, some people don't know what hasbara is. Yes, that's stretching it, I really should go look at their post history in detail.
My friend, when I bit the bullet and had FB for a couple of years to keep in touch with a loved one who only had phone service when they were by free Wi-Fi, there were Black Bloc groups on there that used FB groups for organizing action. Then Zuc shut them down, and notably not other equally controversial groups. Please.
If you're talking about bad actors wearing ski masks just to sow violence in an otherwise non-violent protest, then yes, maga assholes are a real thing.
