Rising fascism in the US

Even in a country all too used to mass shootings, the merciless killing in Newtown, Connecticut of 20 six- and seven-year-olds, along with six of the school’s employees, retains a terrible hold on the US’s imagination, gripping the memory after too many other shootings have faded away. For most, it is too horrible to mention without a shudder. But for a tenacious few, it is too horrible to believe, and soon after Noah was killed, when Pozner thought he had already seen the worst of humanity, he came into contact with the latter group.
Just days after the massacre, when the US was still reeling from the tragedy, and Pozner himself was, he says, “pretty much in a catatonic state”, the theories started spreading: Sandy Hook had never happened, it was staged by actors, the children had never existed, it was a ruse by President Obama/the anti-gun movement/the “New World Order global elitists”. So-called Sandy Hook truthers – Pozner prefers the term hoaxer – pored over photos of the families and children on social media, triumphantly pointing to any visual similarities they could find between the dead children and living ones. The families were harassed by hoaxers, online and off, insisting that they stop their fake grieving. When Pozner roused himself from his catatonic grief to post photos of Noah online, hoaxers would leave comments: “Fake kid”, “Didn’t die”, “******* liar”.

Many innocent people died and lost everything. Trying to make any political hay over a catastrophe hasn't one scintilla of honor.

Olivier believes in the collective guilt of tribes. Now matter how good a life you've lived as an individual, if your tribe has done wrong you deserve to suffer.

Britain = bad
Texas = bad
France = good

Come to think of it,I dont believe that proportionately, any more Merkins pay any attention to ALex Jones than do your folks listen to and believe David Ickes. Theyre both assholes who , like any conspiracy theorists, provide red meat for a limited audience of like thinking douche bags
