Then I see one guy go up to the bus when the door is already open. in the first one I did see one or two people throw what looked like small rocks at the bus. The tweets aren't objective, but neither are Ngo's statements (calling the crowd a 'mob' is also inflammatory) Then again, I don't hold twitter to the same standards as I do someone who calls themselves a professional journalist. It made sense to me, although some of it was more inflammatory than necessary. In reaction, The New York Times praised Stephens's "intellectual honesty and fairness". Stephens's positions on this issue led to a protest in 2013 over his Pulitzer citation omitting his climate change columns, and to a strong backlash against his 2017 hiring by The New York Times. He has also suggested that activists would be more persuasive if they were less sure of their beliefs. Stephens claims that global warming activism is based on theological beliefs, rather than science, as an outgrowth of Western tendencies to expect punishment for sins. He also mocks climate change activism as hysterical alarmism, denying that any significant temperature change will occur in the next 100 years and arguing that it distracts from more important issues, such as terrorism. According to him, "it isn't science" and belongs into the "realm of belief" as it is a "sick-souled religion". Stephens considers climate change a "20-year-old mass hysteria phenomenon" and rejects the notion that greenhouse-gas emissions are an environmental threat. For example, Bret Stephens, who previously worked for the WSJ. To be entirely fair, the NYT has opinion pieces by conservative contributors and who have said things that are provably false. Is easier to push misleading crap on the opinions side of things, but viewers/readers will conflate the two in their minds. There's just no getting through to these people. (Spoiler: there was no human intervention in the genetic code of the COVID-19 virus.) And he basically responded "nah, still don't buy it". And specifically, it addressed the notion of human intervention and what those genetic markers would look like had we been responsible. ![]() When that didn't work, I linked him this article about the genetic origins of the virus and what we know about it. And how does this benefit them? He didn't have an answer to any of this, but was sure it was still China that did it. I brought up the question of motive: What's in it for China to do this? They're going to kill lots of their own people for one, and then lots of people will die worldwide. Like tried to talk through the logistics of how the world isn't a James Bond movie, and that trying to create a pathogen in a lab and then inflict it on the world is kind of a shaky premise to begin with. When my Fox-News-watching dad started that "the virus was invented in a lab in China" bullshit, I tried first appealing to his sensibilities. ![]() “He overheard everything,” Ben recalls, “and said nothing.” Ngo doesn’t film any of the conversations, and smiles when the group cracks jokes. Another man says, “Tell Joey and them to hurry the fuck up.”īen captures someone telling a person on speakerphone, "There's going to be a huge fight," and gives them directions to Cider Riot. "Who's texting Joey?" Someone asks when the group seems to be without a game plan. Some don goggles, helmets, and tactical gloves. Another man holds a thick wooden dowel, and practices swinging it like a baseball bat. A few men try to guess which way the wind's blowing to avoid getting "spray" in their eyes, presumably when they use it against members of antifa. (At least five or six members of Patriot Prayer were eventually charged with felony riot and assault charges based on this unprovoked attack.) As the group waits, they discuss their weaponry. He then filmed it and did his best to make the attack look like it was started by the "leftists" and "antifa". He did nothing but laugh along with the group as they planned to assault a bunch of people peacefully drinking cider and minding their own business. He was with Patriot Prayer as they planned to instigate a brawl at a local Portland bar on May 1, 2019. Andy Ngo and Tim Pool know exactly what they’re doing… ![]()
