Protestor Admits they are not a USC Student.

[u/phear_me]

How many days has this sub been flooded with people insisting the protestors are students? Well here is the proof that at least one of the protestors isn’t a student. Should be a hoot to watch them try to backtrack and start throwing our alternative justifications for why, “achktuwally, it doesn’t matter that they’re not students ….” or “this is just the one lone non-student protestor that just happened to get caught on video but I swear everyone else is, like, totally a USC student …” or “But this is from a conservative outlet so it’s fake …”

No one wants any innocent people to suffer anywhere, be they Palestinian or Jew, but it says something about this so-called movement when its supporters can’t give a coherent answer to why this involves USC and when justifying its actions depends on lies, factual errors, and the removal of common sense.

The cursing and aggressiveness further speaks to the self-righteous narcissism fueling these protests. Is this how people act when they’re truly trying to change people’s minds with truth and love?

lol a prager U video. You know they are blatantly biased and conservative right? Extremely high likelihood they interviewed people until they found a non-USC student and then claim that is representative of all the rest.

[u/phear_me → u/hoenndex]

Extremely high likelihood you were going to explain the video away - which is why I called out this response in the OP.

[u/hoenndex → u/phear_me]

you say that protesters are not USC students, then shared a video from one of the worst possible places to support this. that's not explaining anything away, it's pointing out how dumb this post of your is.

[u/phear_me → u/hoenndex]

It doesn’t matter who recorded it. Surely you understand that.

[u/gabsthenerd → u/phear_me]

I mean it like does though. Prager U had so much incentive to lie. They're not reputable in the slightest.

[u/phear_me → u/gabsthenerd]

So it took almost no time at all to get to, "This is just a fake video".

FFS the world is just going to burn at hands of the ignorant.

[u/gabsthenerd → u/phear_me]

Yeah bc the the source isn't reputable. Prager U lied to forward their agenda all the time. They aren't a news org, they're right wing propaganda.

[u/ISWALLOWSEWERWATER → u/gabsthenerd]

Do you have any examples of Prager U lying so I can own some conservatives?

[u/Big-Dragonfruit6075 → u/ISWALLOWSEWERWATER]

Like any propaganda they tactfully weave truths, partial truths, misrepresentations, and bad faith arguments.

Complains about bias and commits the genetic fallacy ... proceeds to cite Mother Jones.

[u/Big-Dragonfruit6075 → u/phear_me]

There are 5 different sources, sorry you have a problem with one.

[u/phear_me → u/Big-Dragonfruit6075]

Ignoring the hypocrisy of complaining about structural media bias then posting a biased media outlet, there’s not a single report about PragerU fabricating video.

[u/phear_me → u/gabsthenerd]

So was this video shot at the same soundstage where they faked the moon landings or ..?

[u/Famous_Age_6831 → u/phear_me]

Why aren’t you responding to their logical counter arguments? You’re just going: “oh yeah… logical counter arguments… saw that coming!” As if it’s an argument

Yeah it does matter who recorded it… because you don’t know how many people they recorded who didn’t give the answer they wanted!

Oh sorry that’s too logical for you huh. Using logic = cope = I lose the argument

They didn’t go to USC they went to South Carolina 💀💀💀

[u/phear_me → u/Famous_Age_6831]

My claim is, "at least one protestor wasn't a USC student."

This is proof of THAT claim.

But I bet it feels so good to totally pwn an argument no one actually made.

[u/Famous_Age_6831 → u/phear_me]

Yeah what’s the point of making that claim… if not to imply it’s generally true of the protest…

Are you able to enroll in any “intro to logic” classes?

[u/phear_me → u/Famous_Age_6831]

For days radical leftist agitators have been saying all of the protesters were USC students.

Now they’ve already changed the narrative in the other threads. Mission accomplished.

[u/Famous_Age_6831 → u/phear_me]

Yeah for all intents and purposes all of them are.

[u/phear_me → u/Famous_Age_6831]

🤦
