Since I posted the story of his “arrest” tis only fair I post the correction!
good job.
reminder how hard people downvoted xleb2 for doubting this story because it was inconvenient to the narrative.
You can spin it that way if you'd like. I down-voted because he said there wasn't anything about arrest in the article, yet there was, by way of a quote from one of McInness' colleagues.
there's no spin here, and my message is clear. tribal thinking is unhealthy.
if a story doesn't pass the smell test, you should call it out, and other people shouldn't railroad you just because they really want to believe a story is real. so many stories on the internet are maliciously framed if not flat-out lies, and reasonable doubt should be exercised.
LOL what? Of course you're spinning. I just told you why I downvoted, and it had nothing to do with "duh narrative" or whatever, and nothing to do with whether or not he took the original "article" at face-value. It had to do with him either missing or misreading something from the article, then building his post around it. That made it a bad post. Hence, downvote. That's the way this is supposed to work: You upvote truth and insight, you downvote falsehood.
You making this into some kind of thing about belief, or tribes, is spin. You really think nearly 20 people downvoted because they just really like Gavin McInnes? I doubt you could find 20 people in once place who even have a positive opinion of McInnes.
Also, if you're using this "article," the one posted on "lamag" to inform your reality, you have your head screwed on backwards.
Very good of you!
