Is the Entire Mizzou Protest Based On Lies?

So... The gay black student body President was NOT making up the KKK on campus story... He just got fooled by social media?

That doesn't really fit the narrative I read earlier in this thread.

That is, what if there's actually zero basis for the strike in the first place? What if these alleged incidents never happened and the media just accepted them without asking any questions at all? The entire protest is based on three things, none of which have been independently verified, a poopswastika, an off-campus racial slur, and an on campus racial slur.




So let's examine each of them in order.






1. There is no evidence of the poopswastika.




In this modern era, when college kids take photos of everything, when video emerges of virtually everything that takes place on campus, how is that there is no eye witness who can say that a poopswastika ever even existed?




Not one person.




Read the article linked above, it's exhaustive reporting. There's not one shred of evidence that a poopswastika ever existed. As the article said, it's an immaculate defecation.




Yet it has been reported as truth by every major media outlet in the country.




And, by the way, if the poopswastika did exist, isn't it evidence of a really deranged individual more than its evidence of a campus overrun by racism? Isn't the first thing you think of when you hear of a poopswastika, who the hell put their hands in poop and used it to write on a bathroom wall? If it happened, which there's no evidence that it did, isn't that person who did it probably insane?




2. Mizzou's student body president, Payton Head, a gay black man, accused unknown and never found perpetrators in a red truck of hurling racial slurs at him off campus.




Assuming that this incident even happened, how is Mizzou responsible for what a non-student says off campus?




Isn't it more significant that Mizzou students elected a gay black man campus president? And that Mizzou almost universally supported Michael Sam, a gay black man who became the first athlete to go public with his homosexuality? Does that sound like a campus with inclusiveness issues to you? Would a divided, racist campus have a gay black student as its top representative and have offered nearly universal support and acceptance to Sam?




Moreover, given that Head also reported that the KKK was on campus last night and that he'd been in contact with the national guard -- it's totally normal for a student body president to be the top liason for the national guard, right? -- isn't it also fair to question whether this story is awfully convenient for someone who has political ambitions and gains a ton of positive coverage for it? That is, Head gained an awful lot here.

What do you think??

People just want to feel part of a movement. When there isn’t anything, fabricate it.

In this stage we see an admission that Russian meddling is real, but then of course the victim blaming to turn it around on the poor sap for being fooled by Russian propaganda.....and yet with zero sense of irony.

I rate entertainment factor of this post at 7.5 / 10
