The US AG says that violent rhetoric begets violence. That’s not controversial.

Nor does it point to anything being staged. People lose their minds online trying to draw a conclusion from some 7 degrees removed, ambiguous comment or occurrence, all the while ignoring that they have no actual evidence that contradicts the most plausible scenario.

Mainstream Media is sensationalized. The more sensation, the more it sells. Non-Mainstream Media is no different. The more views/clicks, zaps, etc is a direct result of “going viral” or sensationalism. Nobody makes any money stepping back and saying, “let’s have a rational discourse”. Look at Flash’s channel. He’s a Muslim kid avoiding a job and trying to make a living by posting stuff online. He gets the most engagement from anti-Israel content. Whether he believes half the stuff he makes up and posts or not isn’t the point.

When you get down to it, most sensational news comes from anonymous sources that wildly speculates (Candace Owens for a recent example). And only in America can you voice such a fantastical, crazed opinion (as you should have the right to do). In Iran, you get silenced. In the UK you get arrested.

No, the government isn’t perfect. It’s a system of flawed individuals. Yes, the money is broken. But that doesn’t mean Israel is running the world (oh and the world isn’t round, it’s flat…). And it takes about two seconds to look through that. It just requires a bit of intellectual honesty and humility.
