So maybe I can summarize all this in a better way...I'm 32 and back in high school my friends and I made everything a shit show. We had a section in the stands Section R for us to be rowdy kn at our games , but wed get wild in unison while kn the gold course , and we had a ball, it was awesome

i think journalists at the top of the pyramid rarely ever go about manufacturing drama, because they have people lower on the steps like this who will do it for them without any direct line of collusion. this kind of thing happens all the time, the big journalists simply troll through all the examples every day and pick the best ones to whatever end they want

We were just like these dudes with energized poisitin in ng, and had we encountered those black dudes, it would have been game on j the same manner

@caykoh yes, but it's not quite as sinister as you make it sound.
1) Nathan Phillips is a seasoned activist. He's got sympathetic contacts in the media.
2) following these kinds of events, he plants his story in some small places in the sympathetic press
3) turns out it *really* feeds the anti-Trump narrative.
4) things go viral, fast. The media is *extremely* good at locking into narratives. Anyone who analyzes media, left, right or center will tell you that.
5) Twitter goes ballistic.

Everything up to step 2 is *extremely* common. Union activists regularly alert local media to strikes to get sympathetic attention. As do protest marchers (think the Women's march). Depending on how it feeds the narrative, things usually stay local or make small national news. This time it exploded. In part because it feeds the narrative so well.

And the CTRL-Left storm trooper on Twitter formed a lynch mob

2019-01-21 04:31:20 UTC  

This was a bit of a perfect storm, IMO. It also was a very good distraction from Muller calling out the national press corps for running with that really bad story about Cohen.

2019-01-21 04:31:33 UTC  

The media was all too happy to get the heat off of themselves.

2019-01-21 04:31:39 UTC  

But guys, guys, the energy charge in the dynamic promotes defensive aggression to atleast skmedegree. And those fuckin Israel assholes were baiting the sbit out of the crowd .

2019-01-21 04:31:40 UTC  

Which has, of course, backfired.

2019-01-21 04:32:05 UTC  

And they the kids were hilariously competing

2019-01-21 04:32:31 UTC  

Eh, the kids were rallying themselves. People do that. It was a way for key elements of the students to get the attention of the *other* students off the Black Israelites.

2019-01-21 04:32:40 UTC  

Instead of them yelling "HATE" they called back with "Homosexuals are people too" and started singing hyms

2019-01-21 04:32:44 UTC  

But the Indian guy getting his drum sing over there steps right into the static field

2019-01-21 04:32:49 UTC  

From the standpoint of crowd and narrative control among the students makes a lot of sense.

2019-01-21 04:33:03 UTC  

Honestly, singing hymns and things is a very good response to that kind of thing.

2019-01-21 04:33:25 UTC  

Bro I'm conceding that pratel, they have every entitelyment to rally

2019-01-21 04:33:38 UTC  

admitedly the native american man did a bit to defuse the situation with the black israelies but shame it wasent with good intentions

2019-01-21 04:33:39 UTC  

It's like when people stand outside Neo-Nazi marchers with signs declaring they don't like the Neo-Nazis and singing the national anthem or something to deny the Neo-Nazis space.

2019-01-21 04:33:39 UTC  

Especially with these ducks baiting them

2019-01-21 04:33:54 UTC  

Fucks*

2019-01-21 04:34:14 UTC  

You have every right to peaceble assembly, and no one did anything violent

2019-01-21 04:34:30 UTC  

No one one claimed violence oxxured!

2019-01-21 04:34:43 UTC  

Nor that they cant assemble

2019-01-21 04:34:44 UTC  

I was honestly very impressed with the kids during the whole incident.

2019-01-21 04:34:47 UTC  

also i have something to add to why tim might have been soft about this

2019-01-21 04:35:00 UTC  

Alright so Patel

2019-01-21 04:35:06 UTC  

The BHI clearly was trying to provoke the students to get violent with dirrected verbal attacks on them

2019-01-21 04:35:06 UTC  

The one student who

2019-01-21 04:35:12 UTC  

styx got his video on this topic flagged by youtube early this morning

2019-01-21 04:36:02 UTC  

Addresses the topic of land theft, to the Indian guy, charging natives with stealin ng from aboriginals, and dimissin ng.land theft as the way of the world

2019-01-21 04:36:29 UTC  

i think tim is conscious of a lot of things styx does because styx is one of the barometers of youtube, if something happens to styx you know where a line is, and because styx does morning coverage that means tim gets a heads up

2019-01-21 04:36:39 UTC  

I don't know too much about that to be honest. I was always more interested in the overall crowd dynamics at play.

2019-01-21 04:36:47 UTC  

I'd have to look into it.

2019-01-21 04:37:33 UTC  

That, from the student, to the indis. guy, is not violence and he didnt walo up to theIndian, but the tone and tenor of 'you people' is present and on a subject with clear historicity ,

2019-01-21 04:37:46 UTC  

Dude that is the crowd dynamic

2019-01-21 04:37:58 UTC  

Tone and tenor bro

2019-01-21 04:38:13 UTC  

I have a suspicion alot of these kids had never been to an event like that before. But the overall group dynamics were fascinating in their own way.

2019-01-21 04:38:32 UTC  

Dude this case is amazing lol

2019-01-21 04:38:35 UTC  

I can't read what you typed.

2019-01-21 04:38:50 UTC  

I think discord ate what you wrote.
