    Project Veritas has been known to use deceptive practices and spread misinformation in attempts to expose what it views as “corruption, dishonesty, self-dealing, waste, fraud, and other misconduct” from liberal organizations or individuals. In September, Stanford University and University of Washington researchers wrote that a Project Veritas video alleging voter fraud with unidentified sources was what a “a domestic, coordinated elite disinformation campaign looks like in the United States.”
     













     
    You're still living in the past. The problem today is the destructive government policies of the redistribution mentality.

    I assume you're talking about the policies that redistribute wealth from the vast majority to the 1%. Yes, that is a huge problem.
     
    Leftist talking points of demonization. The so-called Southern Strategy is nonsense, and you're characterization of Owen's position is misleading. Progressives are the fascists.

    Not demonizing anyone. Just pointing out what they have said, written and advocated for. "Progressives are the fascists" sounds like demonization to me.

    Name me three progressive policies that you think are fascist.

    Among other things, fatherlessness, generationally entrenched poverty, government dependency are the problem.

    The only systemic racism in America today is the destructive matrix of leftist policies that foster government dependency, fatherlessness, economically depressed neighborhoods, lousy schools, lawlessness, victimhood, resentment. . . .
    So, wait.. you went from "where is the substance that it exists" to "it's the left's fault?

    I was just trying to give some examples of "it" have we even agreed on that?

    I mean, I didn't think men being promiscuous (or, whoring) was a political affiliation thing.
     
    I loathe the pseudo-intellectualism of leftist slogan speak and ad hominem.

    Leftists are so predictable.
    This is ironic, right? You sprinkle in random verbiage in your own commentary that also stinks of 'psuedo-intellectualism', yet we haven't been able to actually talk about much of anything. Maybe, stop hurling insults and using "leftist" as a pejorative, and we can have an actual chat.

    By it don't you mean that America, in and of itself, is systemically racist? That's what I'm refuting. What are you refuting?
     








    Just look at Atwater's own words on the subject.

    And most folks here aren't going to pay DINESH D'SOUZA much mind (who wrote the first Op-Ed you linked)

    Leftist politics are contemptible. The policies thereof have been oppressing and killing blacks for decades.
     
    I have a lot of respect for you guys for continuing to try and seriously engage someone who sees Candice Owens as a credible source and throws out every alt-right catch phrase and regurgitated talking point ever uttered without even trying to dress it up to pretend it's an original thought. I'm just over here cracking up then every once in a while I see a post from one of you and I'm like "wait, are they still taking this whole thing seriously?"

    Y'all are Saints, really, and not the black and gold type.

    You're right. There's no reason to take lefties seriously. They're slogan spouters, historically and politically illiterate.

    Your "I know you are but what am I?" retorts were more clever when my kids were using them, but they were 6 years old. From grown men, they are just embarrassing.

    Not as embarrassing as worshipping at the altar of Candice Owens, but still embarrassing.

    It’s shadow boxing
    I would have been at the Thoth parade, but...you know

    Plus I’m still trying to figure if he’s a retread or a ‘3 year Letterman’ type brilliant inverse troll

    I don't know about a retread, but he's not trolling. There's a profile for these alt-right Grievance Populism types.

    There's a segment of people who feel aggrieved in a general sense, but don't really have the ability to express what it is they feel aggrieved about, at least not in a way that isn't immediately repulsive. So they lose themselves in the alt-right blogosphere and use other people's words who are more articulate than them to express it. The problem that always occurs when you're solely parroting what you're being told is you don't fully understand what it is you're saying. There are some catchy phrases in there that it's easy to regurgitate and a few flowery words they didn't know until they heard <insert alt-right blogger here> say it, but repeating by rote is rarely a path to understanding. So they run through the alt-right blogosphere greatest hits:

    • De-platforming
    • Cancel Culture
    • BLM is Marxist
    • Leftists are the real racists
    • Except Racism isn't real, except by leftists
    • If you don't agree with me you're a leftist
    • Candice Owens for Queen!
    • Did I mention, leftists?
    It's as predictable as rain in April, so I don't think he's trolling. He's a true believer, he just hasn't applied 17 seconds of critical thought to what he believes. No parrot ever does. Well, my parrot actually did understand "peek-a-boo" meant hiding, but Ziggy was a flipping genius bird. However, the alt-right grievance crowd doesn't actually understand what they are saying, they really are just repeating it. It's why I call it pseudo-intellectualism because actual intellectualism requires some understanding of the points you're making, not just a bunch of links and flowery catchphrase vomit.
