This narrative is complete crap and only stokes further division.
- Over a 100+ day period, some 570 George Floyd protests turned violent. During all of that, *one* protestor was killed by police.
- That death toll was matched in under 90 minutes during the Capitol Hill riot.

When a high schooler gave an uncomfortable smile while an adult man banged a drum in his face, CNN and WaPo dedicated an entire news cycle to character-assassinating a kid.
When an adult man drove into a crowd, killing 6 and injuring 60, they gave headlines about "a car".

Amazing.
1. The line pictured for Capitalism is from outside Sunbury Health Centre, a provider in the UK's (socialized) National Health Service.
2. That state-of-the-art operating room pictured for Socialism is from St. Luke's Health Network, located in Connecticut.
Capitalism’s admirers really don’t like its failure to provide decent health care for all being exposed, nor how this would be a basic human right in the class-free state-free money-free future socialist society. Capitalism’s admirers really wouldn’t like you to share this meme.

Jesus did wash feet. That was the day before He offered Himself up on the cross for our sins, so maybe we could not be so cavalier in painting those sins as no big deal.

It is metaphysically impossible to overstate the divide between what the media are and what the media imagines itself to be.
Network TV anchors were "the closest thing that America had to national leaders on 9/11. They were the moral authority for the country on that first day," especially with political leaders in bunkers or otherwise out of sight...

Her very first praise, right at the top: "He has been a university president [...]".
She goes on to call him a "dynamic brainiac (with a PhD from Yale)".
If DeSantis wanted a slippery, right-wing politician for the job, he chose well. Sasse has long been considered bright by the standards of the U.S. Senate, but that does not necessarily mean he is up to the intellectual rigor of a major university.

I'm starting to think it's this simple: traditional media outlets don't know how to monetize civil discourse.
If it's not clickbait, won't earn rage-clicks, or can't fit in a 90 second segment, they want nothing to do with it (and they don't want it to exist elsewhere, either).

It’s totally weird. Everyone in the group had a pretty easy time talking inside the group despite deep differences. The problem is that the outside world wants to kill all nuance, all tensions, and all dialectics. The IDW is in much better shape than that. Pity.
