The Radical Right Is Just Looking for an Excuse to Kill Us and the Media is Complicit
from Walter Rhein Podcast · host Walter Rhein
You know the media is not going to provide you with the truth, so please consider supporting me! Here’s a 50% off coupon! Thanks in advance!In the aftermath of every shooting, the politicians, social media, and the news is quick to blame the left. The radical right doesn’t even pause long enough to let the sound of gunfire fade.Their talking heads run to their various platforms to condemn the “left” for the actions and that’s just in the initial wave. Within a few hours, they work themselves up into a quest for vengeance. Last week, unhinged members of the radicalized right called in various terrorist threats to 5 Historically Black Universities.They did the same thing when Democratic Senator Melissa Hortman was assassinated allegedly by a man who posed as a policeman. For the first few terrible hours after the assassination was discovered, the radical right was livid and clamed that “liberals” and “Democrats” were to blame.The second the facts emerged and it was discovered that the alleged shooter was actually a member of the radicalized right, the story just disappeared. The same thing appears to be happening with regard to the shooting in Utah.I haven’t been able to sleep for the last few nights. The reason is that it’s extremely disturbing to see how quickly the radicalized right takes to the media and demands permission to murder us all. They do this before any facts have emerged. They do this while the members of the left are still engaged in processing their grief.At some point we have to make our nation recognize that these heinous, terrorist acts are NEVER performed by liberals.Liberals are the people in our society who condemn the use of violence.Liberals are the people who have been calling for common sense gun reform.Liberals are the people who want your children to have access to health care and education.It’s the people on the radicalized right that are murderers.For too long, the members of the left have been reluctant to state the facts. This is because we’ve been watching the hatemongers on the right make absurd claims about us, and we don’t want to follow suit.For some reason, all our fancy Democratic politicians with Ivy League degrees act like because the radicalized right falsely accuses us of cheating, there must be no cheating.They never stop to consider that maybe the right spends so much time accusing us because they’re the ones who are actually committing the crime.This is a pretty basic act of deflection and projection. It’s what malicious and nefarious people have been doing since the beginning of time.For as long as I can remember, the right has been saying the left wants to “round them up,” they say the left wants to “deploy the military to cities,” they say the left wants to “wipe them out.”The Democrats have always replied with a nervous laugh and said, “No, no, we’d never do that.”Meanwhile, the second the Republicans take power, what do they do?* They round us up* They deploy the military to cities* They call for our murderIt’s time for the American people to pull their heads out of their collective asses and recognize the danger we’re in. That starts by understanding that the right ALWAYS resorts to violence when they don’t get their way.* White supremacists attacked peaceful Black Lives Matter demonstrations* White supremacists attacked the Capitol on January 6th* Go and look at the political leaning of everyone accused of an assassination in the last year (and that number keeps rising)On that last point, it’s going to take a little digging because even though the news loves to imply that a shooter had “left wing” affiliations, they never bother to retract those suggestions when the facts emerge. Without fail, the facts always suggest the shooter has been radicalized on the right. But when that comes to light, the news buries it with lines like “radicalized by an extremist network.”They deliberately protect the murderers in our society.The murderers and the lawless and the pedophile protectors and the fascists and the school shooters and the assassins have one thing in common: THEY’RE ON THE RADICAL RIGHT!Let's just recognize at some point that liberals don't shoot people.Liberals don't like guns.Liberals don't like violence.The right mocks the left for that all the time, and yet every time there is a tragedy they conveniently forget this fact. Every time anybody affiliated with any kind of conservative movement or even a liberal movement is a target of violence, there is a tidal wave of ridiculous, unsubstantiated accusations directed at the left.The precious media refuses to be honest about the fact of who our killers are.The murderous, ignorant, uneducated mob on social media find it impossible to believe that a conservative would attack another conservative, even as they have no problem believing a liberal would attack another liberal.Their perspective of the world is twisted beyond all logic or reason.Except, do we have evidence this happens again and again and again?All you have to do is look at history to see what happens. If you removed all liberals who have been accused of political violence, 99% of all the violent actions would remain.It's because the members of the radicalized right are hateful, awful, dishonest, and lawless people.They're always fighting with each other.The tech bros fight with the white supremacists. Sometimes they overlap in their mutual disdain for common decency, but any coalition that they manage to construct quickly falls apart due to their essential and fundamental malignant nature.They turn on each other and feast.These are cruel, hateful, awful individuals, and everybody would understand that if our media would just be truthful and responsible in presenting the facts.Whenever there is a shooting, they never even suggest that it might have been right wing even though that’s statistically the most likely scenario. The right keeps waiting for a left wing shooter that will never come. Jesus will probably come first, and when he does the right will either shoot him or deport him.We need to acknowledge that the right wing is controlled by a convicted felon. We have a criminal empire in charge of our country. They have no interest whatsoever with anything relating to basic decency or law and order.They're doing what they can to round up people already. You can see in the reaction to the most recent shooting that the radicalized right is just looking for an excuse to murder us all. THEY WANT TO KILL US! THAT’S WHY THEY LIE! THAT’S WHY THEY CHEAT! THAT’S WHY THEY HOARD ALL THOSE GUNS! THAT’S WHY THEY REFUSE TO STOP MASS SHOOTINGS EVEN TO SAVE OUR CHILDREN!They have no interest in reaching across the aisle for bipartisanship. That time is gone because they want US gone. They’ve SAID IT!We have now entered into an era of survival.They want us dead. Even worse, they want each other dead. They’re sick. They have a mental health issue.This is the only conclusion that all the evidence supports. The next time there’s a shooting, stroll across social media and see what the talking heads on the radical right are saying.You’ll be appalled.It's time to put some pressure on the media to start actually conveying to the general public where the true threats to our children actually are. The right spends all their time blaming everyone else because they’re hiding the fact that THEY are the murders, rapists, predators, and assassins.These radicalized people, these white supremacists, these Christian nationalists want to kill us. Every time something like this happens, they go on their platform, and they confess. Then they make plans for even more violence.It’s time we stood up and started warning people about the truth. Their “deeply held personal beliefs” are that they want us all dead.We need to hold them accountable for their lawless nature, and we have to ensure that the lives of our children and our families are protected.Enough is enough. And our side will act without violence.Thank you for listening! This publication is reader sponsored. Your support means the world to me.
