TRUTH BE TOLD

 

Time to Stop Spinning Narratives.

Becoming What You Claim To Hate.

Here are the facts left out of the video linked here:

• The Subject: The woman being harassed in this video isn't an "enemy." According to her comment on this thread, she is a two-time Trump voter. According to many more commentators, she also actively serves her community by supporting the homeless.

• The Context: This appears to be a routine check-in on a homeless person that took an unfortunate turn.

• The Reaction: Instead of reacting with violence or losing her cool, she handled what could have been a volatile situation with remarkable composure. She should be commended.

Take a close look at the video linked. This serves as a perfect, if not frustrating, example of the intellectual dishonesty that has become far too common in political discourse online. Whether you consider yourself to be MAGA, Republican, or conservative, there is a recurring habit here that needs to be addressed, and that is the tendency to conflate a specific incident with broad, inaccurate conclusions just to satisfy a pre-existing ideological bias.

It's become exhausting. The seemingly endless cycle of distorting reality doesn’t just spread misinformation; it actively galvanizes the "other side" and deepens the very divide many claim to hate. It also, puts real people in danger, i.e. swatting people or doxing people. It’s ironic to hear accusations of divisiveness leveled at leaders like Obama or Biden when the people making those claims are stoking the flames themselves with fabricated narratives like the one seen here.

Instead of being commended for her grace and her service, she is being ridiculed and labeled as something she clearly isn't. If you consider yourself to be someone who believes in, and upholds, truth, it’s time to do better. Call out this kind of nonsense and reject these false narratives outright. Character and truth should matter more than a convenient headline.
