Before Darrell Brooks massacred six people, the media declared Kyle Rittenhouse’s acquittal proof of white supremacy. Brooks' Facebook showed he was well-read on BLM media narratives.

Now it's happening with the Ahmaud Arbery case. Will there be another Brooks type massacre?
Three white men got mandatory life--including one guy who was unarmed and recorded the incident from a distance--but that's not good enough. We need a "cure" for our white problem. Brooks agreed.
There have been zero consequences for the journalists who lied about Rittenhouse, the facts of the case, or the prosecutor who enabled Darrell Brooks to kill. The managers of the American establishment in media and law enforcement are getting people killed with impunity.
Rittenhouse's acquittal proved white supremacy; the conviction of Arbery's killers proved we still have a long way to go fighting white supremacy.

They are not going to allow you or any issue to be neutral, everything works like this today.

Neoconservatives have always been and still are the enemy
Arch neocon Norman Podhoretz put it simply that "neocons" are really just a breed of neoliberals; specifically, neocons emerged to defend what became the neoliberal consensus after WWII and the New Deal from both the radical left and anti-managerial right
Francis notes that although neoconservatism changes shapes, it remains in essence a "conservative" force of the consensus of managerial liberalism, and among its persistent features is disregard for or hostility to social conservatism in practice if not in rhetoric

TL;DR: a museum exhibit focusing on the lives of European immigrants in a specific place injects black people who *never even lived there* into the exhibit

What's this obsession with denying whites their own history that doesn't forcibly include others? thedailybeast.com/wokeness-battl…
Literally every other group gets their own exhibits/narratives that don't include a Mandatory White Man, and if they do he serves as a heel
Libs (that includes plenty of conservatives) be like "haha what's the big deal?" when they do stuff like this but they would *never* dare go the other way and foist awful white people into brown/black historical narratives except as a heel

Progressive prosecutors who get people killed, as occurred in Waukesha, should be removed from office and charged with crimes. There's precedent, too.

Republicans recently charged a *conservative* prosecutor for much less. My latest for @NewsweekOpinion. newsweek.com/its-time-stand…
Yes, the GOP, which complains about law and order and woke stuff and liberal prosecutors, has punished a *Republican* elected prosecutor. Meanwhile, the GOP has not taken action against the race hustling prosecutor who lynched Jake Gardner in Nebraska.
If Republicans are going to charge a conservative prosecutor with "violation of oath of public officer," then there is *more* reason to charge people like DA John Chisholm with the same for what Darrell Brooks did in Waukesha, Wisconsin.

The GOP has for a long time been the party of "big government" precisely for this reason: at pivotal moments, it has either led or helped grow the size of the regime. Bill Buckley himself rationalized a "totalitarian bureaucracy" three years before founding National Review
What this means is that even the GOP's core talking point, "big government is bad," is a lie that they themselves have never believed
Republicans have always found an excuse to grow the big government they claim to hate and I say that as someone who is not even a fiscal conservative
