And about an hour after I sent the video of the whistleblower to Breitbart, they have an article up about it. Hope that helps get the word out a little bit more.
Honestly, I don't consider Breitbart and the like so much different from woke outlets. Like Stanley Kubrick said of the political parties in "A Clockwork Orange", superficially they are opposite, factually they are the same thing.
"A man who engaged in non-violent protest at the Capitol was given eight months prison, while hundreds of BLM cases have been dropped." Just write "A man who engaged in non-violent protest during a BLM event was given eight months prison, while hundreds of Capitol protest cases have been dropped." and you will have a woke screamsheet. But that's the "new America" for us who are watching from the sidelines.
Except this is literally a lie. Capitol protest cases have NOT BEEN TRIED. People have been held, without even having charges against them, as GUANTANAMO-STYLE POLITICAL PRISONERS, for seven months now.
IMHO, people who filmed themselves and took selfies while, you know, INVADING YOUR CAPITOL - not to mention those who rabidly followed a "shaman guy" cosplaying as Sven from Frozen - should be psychiatrically interned for their own good. Truth is: I feel only sadness for these feeble minded people who provided fertile support for a specific breed of hare-brained politicians - and that will take the fall for them.
Of course fanaticism from Harris (who is not currently enjoying a smooth sailing, BTW) compounds the problem. As does the side of the Aisle that is obstructing
any and every attempt to launch a serious investigation in the events of Jan, 6th. (One wonders why...
)
Re: BLM, "If Athens cries, Sparta doesn't laugh". You can find articles "proving" anything. This one from Forbes
https://www.forbes.com/sites/roberthart/2021/01/07/figures-show-stark-difference-between-arrests-at-dc-black-lives-matter-protest-and-arrests-at-capitol-hill/?sh=6624238b5706 makes the case that the "double policing standard" is being applied against BLM, not the Capitol protesters. I'm pretty sure that out there there is something by Fox News argumenting the opposite.
I'm Italian. Politically, I don't have a dog in this race. But I have a dog in the pop culture race as a comic book writer, movie geek and in my RPG hobby. The damage done by wokeism is clear, present and scary. "Cancel culture" can destroy the life of an innocent in a single day with a bunch of lies on Twitter (check what happened to Chris Avellone). "Presumption of innocence until proven guilty", an international human right, doesn't exists anymore in the current climate of hysteria. " In Italy it is, for now, limited to the Twitter cesspool, but it will spread with the adaptation of movies, comics, RPGs and tabletop games. However, as I pointed out over and over, there are three other factors to consider:
1) Woke = fiasco. Star Wars, Ghostbusters 2016, Terminator: Woke Fate, Charlie's Angels, Black Widow, with the list stretching into the cold infinite. "Get Woke, Go Broke" is a motto savagely attacked by wokes - mostly because it is consistently true.
2) The pushback. Wokeism is attacked by Christians, atheists and the left itself - all of which are seeing the devolution of commonly shared human values into a fundamentalist, black and white sort of "religion". You can find a lot of sane arguments against Wokeism out there. These arguments, being sane, have no value. The rest is a mirror of Wokeism. For any Twitter wokestorm you will find Breitbart News. For any Forbes you will find Fox News.
3) Maybe the most accurate description of today's
real World. It comes from Alan Moore's "Providence". While in the comic book it is both a metaphor for R'lyeh and a premonition of things to come, I think that, like many of the things Moore writes, it has an universal value:
"There is a concealed country [...] hidden below the society we show the World.
Uncomfortable truth, it lurks beyond our pretences."
This "concealed country" is the one who gives 99% positive reviews to David Chappelle's "Stick and Stones" on Rotten Tomatoes, the truth behind the indignation that "the society shows the World" in the scathing critics' reviews.
It is the country that, at the news of a black Snow White reacts with this kind of "pretence":
...But then
it will not flock to see the movie, thus revealing the "Uncomfortable truth that lurks beyond. It already happened. Get Woke? Go Broke. It is not by chance that the Tolkien Society didn't stream this year's seminars, nor made them available on YouTube. You can be sure that the number of people who is awakening for real to the realities of the World is growing every day.
There had been victims and there will be victims. What is happening to Chris Avellone is both saddening and scary. He can still pull through, thought. If not, maybe the next one will. There are already signs that big entities severely burned by wokeism are pedaling back
fast. One day all of this will be history.
