There is a paywall once you have viewed it for a set time and I don't support paywalls from trash like the NYT. Just search for the title of the article I put in the header and it will pop up......read it quickly, and then the paywall will kick you out.

If you are a white conservative you will be called a "white nationalist/supremacist," same thing if you are a Trump supporter, same thing if you go against "The Left's" talking points, same things if you disagree with the establishment's narrative, etc. You get the point.


Headline from the NYT yesterday, "Trump Is a White Nationalist Who Inspires Terrorism."
This is just more fake news from the fake news machine. I am so tired of it. If they bothered to actually read the shooter’s manifesto they would see that in many cases he was actually quite left. Almost sounds like an environmental extremist. Basically , get rid of enough people to lower pollution. This guy has read too many NYT, CNN and Fox News headlines and was all confused. Of course the msm lights the anti white mantle causing even more division.

How many towns have burned on his watch? How many times has it happened where he made excuses for the lawless behavior?

Seems to me the man who had the job before him inspired much more and greater violence.

Interestingly, his views on the environment and immigration are close to what the Sierra Club's used to be, before they got woke.

Offs, right above the title “opinion”. It’s not a news article. It’s an op-Ed
.
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/05/o...supremacy.html

Btw, the NYT also published an op-Ed that was titled “Obama’s betrayal of the constitution”.

If anything the fact that these op-Ed’s exist show how far fetched your sound bites about the fake news media being the “left” are.

Environmentalism is a creature of the right. Being conservative means conserving life.

That's not really the problem. White nationalists are the least racist of any political category in t he country. The problem isn't the media calling people white nationalists. The problem is the media lying about what white nationalists are.

Patrick Crusius is a white nationalist. That is not a lie.

It's an "opinion piece" but nobody knows that. That's a feature not a bug.
