Protest/riot in St Louis

[flatandy]

If they are rioting or looting they are right wing. They are behaving as libertarians not communitarians

Lefties are criminal by nature.

Also peeedo adjacent. Sometimes not even adjacent. Apparently there's this film where the hero fights against child sex traffickers and the left hate it because they're on the side of the child sex traffickers.

yep. the left hate it because it lays bare the atrocities being committed on kids by comrade joes policies.

Umm, from UJ's link...

"But "Sound of Freedom" already is as much a political football as it is an unlikely cinematic success. The film is generating buzz among conservatives and liberals not so much for its content − both ideologies agree child sex trafficking is the height of immorality − but for comments made by its star."

Has anyone seen the movie yet …?
Seems as though the audiences love it , but the critics not so much…!!

Loads of free tickets available for it, the extreme groups funding it and other far right Christian groups have been buying up tickets en mass and giving them away to their cultish members. It's all about making the film look like a run away success.

Though some of my favorite stuff about this film, cos it's made and marketed for conspiracy theory cranks, there has, of course, been numerous conspiracy cranks creating conspiracies around "them" doing all they can to stop people watching it, like cinemas playing half then saying the second reel is missing, or the AC being turned off so their screening was incredibly hot, while Indiana Jones next door is nice and cool, loads of similar stuff doing the rounds. My only surprise is the idiots not been spamming us with this stuff, cos you know he believes stuff like this so easily.

In fact it's very similar is some ways to a song that topped the charts in the late 70s at the hight of punk, a Christian group sang "one day at a time sweet jesus" and it was kept at number 1 for weeks by very similar means.

[mids]

Wasn't that Lena Martell?

[voice]

can't remember who sang it, but I do remember the bloke who presented the top 20 sounding really exasperated it was once again topping the chart when it was utter dross.

[mids]

I vaguely remember that.

[voice]

There must be thousands of copies collecting dust in church basements.

[mids]

Anyway, this Finding Freedom film. The left have been driven utterly insane. By a film. By. a. film. Can't you just not go and see it, the left? Why are you losing your utter shit over it?

[rick49]

because they can't handle thr truth. so they stamp their feet and throw a tantrum.

[flatandy]

It’s fantastic that the idiot right are convinced they are pwning teh libs by going to see this film, sticking it to Hollywood. While, in fact, they’re providing much needed revenue to the cinemas who’ve been in a massive slump outside of Tom Cruise movies and Barbenheimer. Basically, by going to the cinema in places where Barbie is not doing well, they’re making sure cinemas are still around to spout left-wing filth.

[mids]

I see the left have also exploded in a torrent of weak pish because of a song. A song. A. song.

[voice]

never heard of him, but I take it he's sh*t, like comedy, the right are sh*t at music.

[mids]

Oh I'm sure the song is shite but you could say that about most songs. No need to sob helplessly about it.
