đŹđ§ Day 16 â Reality vs Narrative: The âmostly peacefulâ pattern & the hypocrisy đđ„ Overnight & yesterday: Minneapolis boils after Alex Pretti (37, ICU nurse, phone in hand per witnesses/videos) shot by Border Patrol/ICE. Parents call it execution, ACLU suits ongoing, protests escalating. Follows Renee Good (Jan 7, unarmed US citizen, shot in vehicle by ICE). Dominant narrative: âmostly peaceful protestsâ for accountability, âsystemic overreachâ, âTrumpâs Gestapoâ. Media pushes emotional march footage, outrage at feds, calls for ICE out of MN. Reality? The pattern repeats for years â and the hypocrisy is massive:
- George Floyd (2020): protests labeled âmostly peacefulâ (CNN live with burning buildings behind). 93% peaceful per ACLED, but billions in damage, deaths, riots in dozens of cities â narrative focused on justice, downplayed arson/looting as âfringeâ.
- Kyle Rittenhouse (Kenosha 2020): protests after Jacob Blake shooting framed âmostly peacefulâ, but escalated to deadly clashes. Rittenhouse shot in self-defense (acquitted), but narrative: âvigilante killerâ vs reality: chased & threatened. Media minimized protester violence.
- Renee Good & Alex Pretti (2026): protests after ICE shootings âpeaceful marchesâ for justice. Reality: clashes, HSI agent finger bitten off, Antifa-style calls for âguerrilla warâ, mall shutdowns, National Guard standby. DHS claims armed threats/justified force; videos disputed.
- Dutch corona protests (2020-2022): âwappiesâ (anti-lockdown protesters) beaten hard by police â batons, water cannons, warning shots in Rotterdam/The Hague, mass arrests, âpure violenceâ by âidiotsâ (Rutte). Corona believers cheered: âown fault, thick bultâ, âviolence against law enforcementâ. Now at anti-ICE or BLM-style protests? Police suddenly the big villain, systemic issue, protesters âmostly peacefulâ despite escalation. Narrative always flips: whatever suits âtheir sideâ gets a pass, the other gets blamed. Why this pattern? Left/protest side mobilizes on moral outrage & victim narrative â their sideâs violence becomes âmostly peacefulâ or âunderstandable angerâ. Mainstream amplifies, suppresses counter-evidence as âdisinfoâ. Other side dives into facts (self-defense, probable cause, Graham v. Connor), but narrative already viral. Result: no nuance, just polarization â protests escalate, reality buried under framing. Why crucial for Open Internet? Gatekeepers (Big Tech + legacy media) decide what âmostly peacefulâ means: outrage goes viral, nuance gets shadow-banned. No algorithms pushing all sides â just dominant narrative. Open Internet Manifest fights for a web where you check videos yourself (Pretti phone footage, Rittenhouse trial, Floyd riots damage, Rotterdam water cannon clips), verify hashes, judge â without gatekeepers hiding hypocrisy. If youâre tired of selective outrage⊠wait for facts, dig deeper. https://openinternetmanifest.org Read the hashes, check sources, think for yourself. #RealityVsNarrative #OpenInternetManifest #Day16 #MostlyPeaceful #Hypocrisy #NoGatekeepers
