Alex Jones Says The Left Is Instigating Civil War

http://www.rightwingwatch.org/post/alex-jones-says-the-left-is-instigating-civil-war/

From the article:

Jones claimed, absurdly, that liberals are advocating on “every publication outlet they own” for people to “kill the president, kill his family and kill his supporters."

It is a wet dream that both of them share. It's why they are always trying to pit conservatives and liberals against each other.

5. Psychological projection....
Wed Jun 21, 2017, 08:41 PM
Jun 2017

is a theory in psychology in which humans defend themselves against their own unconscious impulses or qualities (both positive and negative) by denying their existence in themselves while attributing them to others. For example, a person who is habitually rude may constantly accuse other people of being rude. It incorporates blame shifting.

9/11, pizzagate, London bombings, Chobani sexual assaults and Mexicans crossing the border with drugs which Trump quoted, so far he is wrong. He is a radical RWNJ, not helpful to Americans.

It's conservatives that are itching for civil war. Why else did so many buy so much ammunition when Obama was president each time the NRA shouted boo. However, what is obvious to the observant is that there are no more geographical lines to divide our obvious ideological differences. The real nutcases that cannot see that (Alex) are deeply in the minority.

May all their bullets come to rust in unopened boxes.

It's what Jones, Savage, Hannity, Limbaugh and their ilk suffer from. It's like they can't stand it that we even exist. Fuck them.

And he also played football, so I assume the combination of weed and multiple blows to the head is why he is the way he is.

Either they go on their way or we on our own. The divide is just too great that I cannot see it healing in a generation or more. And with climate change going to impact a whole lot in the next ten years it's going to be a fast boil to chaos.

It's going to look like Soylent Green, just without the people as food chips thing, sooner rather than later.

But this type of projection scares me.

My gut instinct is to call this fucker out for the moron that his is, but it's naive to think his followers aren't hearing the message loud and clear. Two weeks ago Qusay Trump said that he didn't even view Democrats "as people", after the shooting in VA last week the left was demonized by the right...it probably even contributed to a small degree to Ossoff's loss because they made fucking commercials that suggested the attack was the result of the "radical left" and that people should take a stand against the left, and now these nutters like Jones are continuing to stoke the fires of violence.

We are facing the pentultimate result of this type of political discourse. The right has become more and more extreme to the point that violence against the left is the only solution left in their arsenal. We're not people, we're stoking civil war, we cause violence...ergo we're a threat that should be eradicated. That's the mindset of these nutters.

Sorry to be Debby Downer this am...but I think we dismiss this nonsense to our own peril.
