Maga agitator forced to leave protest because he was going to attempt to instigate violence. His video captures snipers aiming at protestors.

    that wasn’t a sniper, the Maga agitator had someone post up on a roof with a laser pointer so he could say “there’s a sniper aiming at you right now”

      And then uploaded the video to scare people away from protests…

      And then not only will rightwingers spread it intentionally for that reason, useful idiots will do it “for awareness”. Without the single hint of self awareness they’re helping the fascists.

      Pretty self explanatory: The video provides clear evidence that our military is being turned on American citizens even though the source celebrates these actions.

        No…

        It shows someone had a fucking laser pointer.

        And right wingers posted that video to discourage protests against fascism.

        So again:

        Why the fuck are you helping spread rightwing propaganda from a literal Nazi social media website?

        Because the option of “ignorance” isn’t looking very plausible anymore.

          What evidence is there that it’s a rando with a laser pointer? (I will concede that there’s not a lot of evidence it’s a sniper either.) If it is found to be propoganda, we should all be fucking pissed that the right wants us to believe that the military is ready to snipe protestors. Why the fuck are you being a jerk?

            Because there’s no reason a sniper would need or want to use a visible laser to aim. That’s TV/movie shit.

            Why

            Are you legitimately asking why an American in 2025 would be upset with people spreading pro-fascist propaganda?

            In a community called “progressive politics”?

            Are you also shocked your fried chicken recipe went over poorly in /vegan?
