Look at this tweet saying so from a person with 4 followers and no likes or retweets on the tweet in question!'

The right wing swallow it up, when wiser people would question the validity of the story. As long as it appeals to their confirmation bias though, the right wing doesn't care about the validity of stories, just that they tell them what they want to hear.

I get what you're saying Dezzy, and I agree with it to a certain extent.

However I do find it shocking that these opinions of hating white people (in this particular case white men) has been made more regularly recently than it would've been even as recent as 5 years ago.

The far right and far left are growing in numbers compared to what they were like in 2016, and in this particular case the far left are feeling very emboldened to keep being racist towards white people and misandrist which as I'm in both categories that the far left seem to really despise, they obviously lose me as a potential ally, as well as many other people.

But yeah the Media love to embellish how evil and insane the left are, even though for now the far left are still a minority thankfully.
