We are living in a strange world at the moment. One that is full of lies, deceit and manufactured misinformation and disinformation.
What is true? What is an illusion?
Patriotrealm.com ran an article with a lead image that has upset many people on social media. Monty has been called a faggot, a traitor and a poof. A fairy and much more besides.
I wonder, however, how many people read the article or merely judged it by the lead image? Sometimes we need to be confronted by reality in order to wake up.
One outraged commenter said that this kind of filth does not belong on his comment feed. Another said that her son was a serving member of the American Forces and the expressed attitude was a disgrace.
It made me realise that when MSM use an image to convey a message, that is OK. But when a blogger uses one... beware of the fury of the public.
For example, an image used by one such site receives little or no outrage, save that which seeks to condemn the Russian troops.
They forget that the same image is actually from 2012 in the Middle East - and not from Ukraine at all.
But that is OK. Independent blog bad. MSM good.
The lead photo yesterday was not a lie. It was not a misrepresentation..
It showed a soldier embracing his loved one and no comment was made about the " tone " of the image, save to say ( in the comments section ) that it was found confronting but perhaps it articulated a great deal.
Images were chosen of transgender members of the American Military. Because that is something that needs to be addressed in a time of potential war on a grand scale.
Who can possibly argue that the idea of a WOKE American Military is a good idea?
Who can say that transgender men wearing lipstick and high heels will frighten Putin or Xi into a feeling of reticence?
For myself, I feel more comfortable with Patton, McArthur or Stormin' Norman than Peaches McGee or the soldier from the recruiting ad who is cheerful to know that her Military is inclusive and embraces woke luvvie duvvie idiotic " I am a Military Fairy and all I want is world peace.. " rhetoric and nonsense.
I doubt that the Chinese or Russians will respect their personal spaces or their pronouns.
watch from the 2 minute mark for the Russian version. As it said " we're fucked. "
