you make it sound as if news networks dont have live feeds through youtube

lol

there were a lot of stupid conspiracy videos there, not sure if they still are, but thats where the idiot q spiracy types got their information

 

youtube is really only good for music videos, cat videos, science or history videos, and other types of learning videos, like driving or another language etc

In this I agree, but I would add sports and greatest play videos.  I don't watch broadcast news, but if I did, I probably would go directly to the source rather than looking for it on YT.

Actually they don't since a large part of the PB's membership is minority. 

I always wondered about that when the PBs are depicted as a white supremacist group, the media or elitists leader making those assertions sound like idiots.

The FBI classifies Proud Boys as an extremist group with ties to white nationalism. Saying there are  some minorities in the group is like saying you can't be racist because you have a black friend.

That makes no sense at all.  Why would a minority join a group that's main intent is white supremacy?  As to the FBI, can anyone trust that organization?  It is sort of like the SPLC labeling Ben Carson a hate monger because he does not toe the line.

The analogy is nonsense unless you're trying to say "I love racists but it doesn't mean I am a racist."

You can see the mental gymnastics one has to do to justify these claims. At one time being a white supremacist or nazi was a serious accusation, now don't even need to be one to be given the label. One is now a white supremacist if they "associate" with someone who either is a "white supremacist" or "has ties" to or "amplifies" one. Extremists need to perform all sorts of mental stunts to try and put as many as possible in a pile of extremism to justify their own. De-platforming is an extreme thing to do (even worse when coordinated through multiple organizations and industries), and it's suddenly becoming so common you have media acting as de-platforming police and fighting against their own freedoms. Leftists are under the impression now that screeching about someone else being a racist will either halt support for them and/or completely ruin them. It's hilariously dumb and insecure but unfortunately no longer funny given how it's taken over the political discourse.

Why would many Trump supporters vote for Trump, against their own best interests? I don't know. People inexplicably do against their own interests all the time. But it's not like Proud Boys has a majority minority base. People like to rally around the handful of minorities that show up from time to time, just like racists like to point to their one black friend. Looking at photos of the so-called million-MAGA march last week, photos of proud boys were ALL white males.

Yep, just a continuation of the "racist" tag being thrown out at everyone that is not agreeable to the Dems  political ideals.  It really is not funny, and the odd thing is folks that are moderate Democrats do not see that they are next.  

 

God help us with the CRT that will be coming with the Biden Administration.

If by nonsense you mean your argument is completely unsupported by facts, then yeah, it does make me feel better.

The fact that there are minorities that are members of the PB?  All you are coming with is some sort of hypothesis as to why this might be.  Not sure there were many minorities in the Dems KKK arm.

If facts mattered you'd be actually trying to prove racist claims with actual racism rather than the most absurd "ties to" logic and citing the FBI as if because they're engaging in a similar methodology of dishonesty that its somehow factual.
