I am at an anti ICE protest and it’s pretty boring in Columbus Ohio. Granted it’s 6:45 PM but I don’t know why ICE had to escalate in LA.
Have you tried smashing cop cars with bricks, or barricading streets with torched self-driving cars? Perhaps right next to federal buildings?

In funny anti woke gaming news some Fire Emblem Heroes fans(or more likely grifters not associated with the franchise) are harassing a character artist. The reason for that is because FEH has been re imagining the Norse pantheon and Heimdal is black.

The grifters might have failed to notice that aside from Odin all the Norse gods are gender swapped too. Them all getting big boobs was fine, but one of them being black is suddenly a step too far.
They don't give a damn about the Norse pantheon; they just want to see more tits and no black people.
Yet, whenever these fools try to go after an indie game, that's full of black, brown, nor ambiguously brown people. They get their asses kicked by the indie community, indie supporters of said games, or the creators or different creators of indie games themselves step in, and tell them the fuck off for the pathetic clowsn the grifters are.

Right wing grifters want to pick fights, but are selective in regards to with whom.
Took the words right out of my mouth.

I don't answer irrelevant questions. Often, if we're discussing X, you'll just entirely shift onto asking, "well what about Y", "why are you defending Z", or whatever else. It's your primary approach: shift topic whenever things get awkward.

I dont answer those questions, because i hope it forces you to stay on topic, or at least stops you forgetting what we're discussing.



This statement, from April 2021, was true. At the time, the claim of increased risk was based on about 14 cases in tens of millions of recipients, and the immediate chemical studies did not establish a causal connection.

A 1-in-10,000 link was identified a year after this statement was made-- scarcely identifiable as a discrepancy from the rate in the general population, and still significantly lower than the risk of myocarditis from covid itself.

This is a pathetic deflection to distract from RFK publishing AI slop.



If an anti-vaxxer conspiracy theorist luddite leads the department of health, it will affect things. He can put a stop to vital research, defund projects, terminate staff. And now we know he'll do it on the basis of wholly hallucinatory AI jargon.



That Canadian band did what it did "in the name of science" rather than just as a misguided early effort when the virus was poorly understood, did it? The scientific community endorsed it? The gov endorsed it? Horseshit. You're moaning about nothing.
I stay on my point, you're the one shifting. It makes no sense that Snow White is a Latina, it makes no sense that you have guards in that kingdom from all different races. You just simply won't admit that and then you start talking about The Little Mermaid.

There was obviously a signal by April 2021, other places had no problem finding it. If you can't find it in 200 million doses, you're incompetent. Also, the safety issue was in a group of people that didn't even need the vaccine to begin with, but the CDC had to have their one-size-fits-all covid policies that never made any sense. Young people being forced to get vaccines and boosters, kids having to wear masks, beaches closed, not allowed to go to a baseball game, etc.

You keep doing the bullshit of shifting numbers by saying myocarditis in the general population from covid is lower than the vaccine. Who the fuck cares? That's not the point. The point is we found a group that gets myocarditis at higher rates from the vaccine than from covid. Why would you continue giving that group the vaccine? And also recommending boosters STILL? Just because the overall occurrence is lower in the overall population?

Let me know when this anti-vaxxer conspiracy theorist luddite does more damage than the "experts" did during covid.

Kids wore masks with holes to play instruments, it happened, and it was fucking retarded. It just shows how crazy everyone got. You gonna admit that was stupid? Can you admit that having anyone wear masks outside was stupid (regardless of how much or how little was known about the virus because masking outside never made any type of sense)?

Some say it is unfair to criticize public health for messaging flip-flops—whether about cloth masks, herd immunity, natural immunity, or the vaccines’ effects on transmissibility—because they were just “following the science” as it changed. But in many cases, what evolved was politics, not science.
There still exists no science that says cloth masks did anything.

Perhaps its that your point itself changes so often.

There was obviously a signal by April 2021, other places had no problem finding it. If you can't find it in 200 million doses, you're incompetent.
Oh really? So you believe they falsified the results of the studies, to hide a 1-in-10,000 side effect-- I presume you have some pretty solid evidence to substantiate an accusation of such serious (and pointless) malfeasance?

Or perhaps you could accept that the rate is practically indistinguishable from the general rate of myocarditis in the public, so accusations of deliberate conspiracy are just foolish waffle. The incidence rate of any given disease will already experience yearly deviations, and won't stick rigidly to an average. Any statistical impact of the vaccine was so minor, it existed wholly within the expected deviations of "background noise". But here you are raising alarm bells and alleging fraud.

You keep doing the bullshit of shifting numbers by saying myocarditis in the general population from covid is lower than the vaccine. Who the fuck cares? That's not the point. The point is we found a group that gets myocarditis at higher rates from the vaccine than from covid. Why would you continue giving that group the vaccine? And also recommending boosters STILL? Just because the overall occurrence is lower in the overall population?
Let's delve into these numbers. Provide your source for this. Because I'm absolutely certain that the risk of myocarditis, even within this group, pales in comparison to the risks brought by Covid itself. You're fearmongering about a negligible risk and encouraging people to avoid that risk by taking other, greater risks.

Let me know when this anti-vaxxer conspiracy theorist luddite does more damage than the "experts" did during covid.
I expect we're past that point already; empowering anti-vax sentiment tends to damage trust for decades to come, lowering takeup rates and increasing disease prevalence over a long timeframe. You have no idea how damaging to public perception and awareness it is, to have the head of the dept of health spreading lies about the efficacy of medicine.

Kids wore masks with holes to play instruments, it happened, and it was fucking retarded.
...at a school club in Canada, at their own behest. Precisely zero to do with official guidance, "the science", or even American health policy at all.

The property is real. The deaths you are comparing to are imaginary.
Except I didn't talk about deaths. I spoke about people and their lives. And those are definitely impacted by being shot point blank in the leg for the crime of being a journalist near the LAPD. Or the woman that got shot point blank in the stomach for trying to go to her home before the curfew. Or the person that got trampled by horses by the LAPD. And so on, and so forth. You do not turn armed forces against your own civilians like that if you're a civilized person, and no amount of moaning about property damages justifies any of that.

I dunno I’d have been in favor of sending the armed forces at the literal traitors during January six. Handling treason with kids gloves just because Trump was an aristocrat and his goons did a lot of long term harm

Valid. But that's a case of actual traitors, not of innocent citizens being shot at for either protesting, or as is far more often the case, just trying to live their lives.

For someone who loves to whine about others putting words in your mouth, you certainly enjoy putting them in the mouths of others.
It's all he ever did since day one being on this forum since the 1.0 days.

Is the man on video on the ground being beaten by police imaginary too?
No, but every idiot there should probably be in jail.
May you live just long enough to see all you believe in fall into ruin and dissolve into lies before your eyes.
Everything you believe in constantly dissolves into lies before your eyes, and you are somehow blind to it. I can remember just a couple months ago when Trump was apparently just Elon's puppet, according to the left. How did that play out? Tariffs were gonna send us spiraling into a depression, how did that play out? You probably think that immigration enforcement is just tasting the waters for declaring martial law and appointing Trump the emperor, and no matter how many of these things you get completely wrong, you will just look the opposite direction.

America would like immigration law enforced and voted as such. The average person thinks every person protesting is an idiot and those getting violent should be arrested. This is the will of the people in a nation of representative government. There's not chaos in the streets there because of Republicans, it's not because of immigration enforcement, it's chaos because people like you would rather chaos then see a nation thrive under someone you hate. But you need to know, all of you look like idiots to just about everyone.

Did you see that part where they tried to firebomb the horses? Did you see the crowd dropping rocks onto the windshields of moving cars? These people have declared themselves enemies of the law, and taken violent action (much more potentially deadly than anything the police have done) towards that end. Being treated as enemy combatants is what they're asking for. And like, all of this theoretically is effectively in defense of corporate America's right to drain the labor from foreign countries with false promises to avoid paying higher wages or benefits.

If everyone like you would just turn around to the protestors and let them know that they're idiots who should be arrested, the whole thing is over. It's genuinely your fault personally for defending it.

Fake videos and conspiracies fuel falsehoods about Los Angeles protests

June 11, 2025 / 3:41 PM EDT / CBS News​



As demonstrations against Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids continue in Los Angeles, misleading videos, conspiracies and false claims have spread on social media.

Many of the posts recycle longstanding conspiracy theories, which have often been revived during past episodes of civil unrest. Some posts have made claims that wealthy individuals engineered or financed the protests, and they have racked up millions of views online.

Some posts exaggerate the unrest, using videos of past demonstrations to depict a city overwhelmed by violence. In fact, clashes since the current protests began Friday have remained largely confined to parts of Los Angeles County.

Here are some of the most widely shared falsehoods and misleading visuals.

Recycled imagery and video game footage

Some politicians, conspiracy theorists and social media users have posted old footage during the protests, falsely describing the clips as current. While Los Angeles has seen some vandalism and property damage in the current protests, the mix of outdated and recent videos has created confusion.

One widely shared video of vandalized police cars set ablaze, which was posted by far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas on Sunday, was originally from news coverage of May 2020 protests in response to the death of George Floyd.

On the same day, a video showing people setting a Jeep on fire was described as undocumented immigrants pouring gasoline over the vehicle in Los Angeles on Saturday. However, the footage dates back to a street takeover in the city's Hyde Park neighborhood in March 2024.

The old clips were shared on the same day five driverless Waymo vehicles were set ablaze during the current protests. But the recycled footage gave the misleading impression that such incidents were more frequent and widespread.

On Sunday, two days before Marines were ordered to deploy to Los Angeles, old and unrelated footage falsely claimed to show them arriving. One video, which showed Marines driving to their base hundreds of miles away in San Diego County, was misrepresented as showing them entering Los Angeles.

Darren Linvill, a professor at Clemson University and social media disinformation researcher, told CBS News said even the smartest social media users have difficulty telling old content from authentic images in fast-moving situations.

"Sometimes that sort of content is spread by people who are doing it purposefully with some kind of agenda, but most often it's spread by people who just didn't understand the context that they saw it in," Linvill said.

Some social media users also posted footage from a video game during the protests, making it appear that there had been a significant military escalation. A video posted on Sunday was falsely described as showing protesters firing at National Guard jets. In fact, the footage is from the tactical military simulation video game Arma 3, which has previously been used to spread misinformation.

Inaccurate debunks

Amid the recycled imagery, authentic pictures of National Guard members sleeping on the floor of a federal building in Los Angeles this week were falsely described as old or unauthentic.

The images were initially published by the San Francisco Chronicle on Monday and republished by California Gov. Gavin Newsom on X, who said they served as proof that the deployment was poorly planned, and claimed the soldiers were "without fuel, food, water or a place to sleep."

Some social media users said the images were old and depicted soldiers at previous deployments. Grok, X's AI chatbot, determined the images were likely from Afghanistan in 2021.

However, the images are authentic. Using images published by the U.S. Northern Command and other videos posted to social media, CBS News independently confirmed the images were taken from the loading dock area of the Robert Young Federal Building.

screenshot-2025-06-11-at-11-08-44-am.png

CBS News compared images posted by the military with those published by the San Francisco Chronicle and found matching details, including signs and pillars, confirming they were taken in Los Angeles.

Later, a spokesperson for the U.S. Northern Command confirmed to CBS News that the image was authentic: "The soldiers you saw in the photo were resting as they were not currently on mission and due to the fluid security situation, it was deemed too dangerous for them to travel to better accommodations. The soldiers have ready access to food and water as needed."

People on X have been tagging Grok more often to help verify visuals during these protests with mixed results, according to Isabelle Frances-Wright, the director of technology and society at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, an independent think tank that examines disinformation online.

"While AI is muddying the landscape, people are also now turning to AI as their primary source of fact checking," said Wright.

Conspiracy theories

Conspiracy theories alleging rich donors orchestrated the protests have also resurfaced, echoing patterns from past demonstrations.

One widely shared claim involved images of stacked bricks, which social media users falsely presented as supplies planted by billionaire George Soros to incite violence. These posts reached millions across multiple platforms.

One poster shared a photo of bricks that they claimed were left near "ICE facilities." However, CBS News found the image was actually taken from the website of a Malaysian building materials company.

brickstacks.png

A social media user falsely claimed in a post on X that the pallet of bricks shown above was planted near an ICE facility. However, CBS found the same image of bricks was taken from a Malaysian building materials website.

Rumors about pallets of bricks were also debunked after Black Lives Matter protests in 2020 and reemerged in 2021 during Kyle Rittenhouse's trial and 2022 during Roe v. Wade protests.

Linvill said although the types of misinformation around the Los Angeles protests have followed a familiar pattern, people on both the right and the left are more willing to believe something is fake or staged than they used to be. Many people also assumed the photos Newsom posted of National Guard troops were fake, said Linvill, warning of the risks this poses.

"While fake things are very dangerous, it's also dangerous to assume that everything is fake. And I feel like that is becoming more pervasive for people to just dismiss the evidence in front of their eyes," he said.​

But not those that stormed the capitol?
Some of those that entered the capital should be in jail, that's for certain, based on the specifics of their actions, but in a general sense, going to the legislature itself to protest the law is an acceptable thing. Trying to barricade out law enforcement is not acceptable in the general sense, that is a crime.

Who are "they"? Of the examples I cited, at least two were either doing their job near a protest and not protesting themselves (a journalist) or just trying to go home while nowhere even near a protest. Yet apparently, they deserved to be treated as enemy combatants for that.

Furthermore, if you look at the pattern of escalation in the protests in LA, police and ICE definitely got violent long before protesters tried blocking cop cars. Are you expecting people who started out as just using their right to protest to just lay down and go home once they start being treated as enemy combatants, despite them not having done anything wrong? No, the escalation from the other side will cause them to escalate as well, and that's how you end up with rocks being thrown at police cars.

As to your point of the violent action from the side of the protesters being far more deadly than anything the police have done... that seems like a massive fallacy, given the way the LAPD and the other troops deployed there are armed versus what the average LA citizen can bring to bear. Rubber bullets are less lethal ammunition, and appear to be the main type deployed at the moment by "law enforcement". However, you don't fire rubber bullets directly at people, because the force is very likely to cause internal bleeding and complications if done so, and yet, point blank directly at people appears from all video evidence to be the main way it is currently being used. So, no, that seems to be just another mealy-mouthed deflection on your part to excuse fascist thugboot behaviour from the part of the LAPD and ICE.
