this gotta be the biggest epistemological split of all time between modern political groups because people view the exact same media websites and stories yet one group is convinced the media is literally advocating white genocide and blaming white people for everything for others while others think the media is framing minorities and championing white people (or at least over-emphasizing minority crime)

ive thought about this for a while

the internet has fundamentally changed politics into something schizophrenic

nothing but raw information bombarding the senses in a disorganized way

leaves people with nothing but incoherent fragments to latch onto

it goes deeper than the the internet for sure, the seeds of this really started around the 60s and became more prominent in the late 80s-90s. you'd be surprised how much we assume is something culturally new or modern of a struggle or point of discourse really is like decades old.

On this day, 14 December 2008, journalist Muntadhar al-Zaidi threw both of his shoes at President Bush in protest at the US occupation of Iraq. After hurling the footwear – a powerful insult in Arabic culture – he shouted “This is a farewell kiss from the Iraqi people, you dog! This is from the widows, the orphans, and those who were killed in Iraq.” Bush dodged the projectiles, and al-Zaidi was arrested and beaten, during which his teeth and nose were broken. He was later sentenced to six months in prison as a result, where he says he was tortured. After release from prison he resumed his activism, and he later told Mother Jones journalist, Bryan Schatz: "The only times I wouldn’t be protesting are if I’m sleeping or if I’m dead."
