Far-right figure blames ‘corrupt leftwing media’ for January 6 attack on US Capitol in new Trump documentary
The founder of the Proud Boys, the far-right group that played a major role in the January 6 riot at the US Capitol and was memorably instructed by Donald Trump to “stand back and stand by”, has told the makers of a Trump documentary: “We want to make America hate again.”
Gavin McInnes, the UK-born British Canadian citizen who co-founded Vice magazine and was influential in the New York hipster scene of the early 2000s before becoming a far-right militia figure, also claimed to the BBC that his group wasn’t responsible for what happened that day.
“It was you,” he told the makers of the documentary, which has aired on the BBC’s Panorama strand. “If anyone should apologise … it should be the corrupt leftwing media, and I’ll accept your apology now if you want to do it.”

The reactions from people when I declare without hesitation or questioning, that I do not believe in universal free speech in America. "But who decides what is policed??" The reasonable people I vote for that represent my interests do.

I do not feel like this is an accurate representation of the people who actually get elected.
Definitely not most of the time
So you acknowledge the people who get elected aren't who you'd want to be policing your speech. Who then in practice?
If you're Socratic methoding me, haven't I already communicated I'm self aware?
Nah, you're supposed to take them seriously and give them various platforms to speak on and beat them with FACTS and LOGIC because that's what's needed for a marketplace of ideas and functioning democracy.
In other unrelated news, fascism is now rising tremendously in the world.
Nah, you’re supposed to take them seriously
I do take them seriously, that's why I call for them to be shot into space.
facts and logic are wasted on morons. silence them forever and make sure that the next idiot knows what they have coming if they open their stupid mouth.

This is why Elon has never gone up on one of his rockets. He doesn't want to be shoved out the airlock.
(No it isn't. He's just a coward.)
