The UK

After the US leaking British information about the Manchester attack earlier in the year, there is another attack in London.

Let's attack the Muslim mayor.

  • At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is "no reason to be alarmed!"

And make some comments about gun control

  • Do you notice we are not having a gun debate right now? That's because they used knives and a truck!

Have another jab at the mayor and fake news

  • Pathetic excuse by London Mayor Sadiq Khan who had to think fast on his "no reason to be alarmed" statement. MSM is working hard to sell it!

And shill the US travel ban

  • People, the lawyers and the courts can call it whatever they want, but I am calling it what we need and what it is, a TRAVEL BAN!

A few months later, and there is another attack in London.

Criticises Scotland Yard's response, says suspect was know to them based on no evidence whatsoever

  • Another attack in London by a loser terrorist.These are sick and demented people who were in the sights of Scotland Yard. Must be proactive!

Shills for more internet control

  • Loser terrorists must be dealt with in a much tougher manner.The internet is their main recruitment tool which we must cut off & use better!

And why not capitalise on the opportunity to mention the travel ban again?

  • The travel ban into the United States should be far larger, tougher and more specific-but stupidly, that would not be politically correct!

Spain

Tweets a completely bullshit story in the wake of the Barcelona attack

  • Study what General Pershing of the United States did to terrorists when caught. There was no more Radical Islamic Terror for 35 years!

France

Louvre attacked, US needs to "get smart"

  • A new radical Islamic terrorist has just attacked in Louvre Museum in Paris. Tourists were locked down. France on edge again. GET SMART U.S.

And also, while we're on the subject, how is the travel ban coming along?

  • The threat from radical Islamic terrorism is very real, just look at what is happening in Europe and the Middle-East. Courts must act fast!

Paris attacked again, uses it to weigh in on the presidential election

  • Another terrorist attack in Paris. The people of France will not take much more of this. Will have a big effect on presidential election!

Rest of Europe

I could go on. If you're going to use human tragedy to further your political agenda, at least keep it in your own country.

No no, see, it's only bad if they do it. As long as our side does it, it's fine.

It is bizarre. Exact same thing on very similar issues, but people still take sides.

[–] TheRedArmy 2 points (+2|-0)

I'm not even sure it's conscious in most cases. It's more like you have this core set of values that you believe in, and you want to advance it and have the nation adopt it. Dealing with contradictions between what you believe, what reality shows, what others argue, and what you argue is really difficult. It's not an easy thing to do. So to have an easier time with it, you (likely sub-consciously) exhibit things like confirmation bias, group up with other with similar ideas and fall into some form of groupthink, and so on.

I think so to, Currently things only get fueled more and more by social media, message boards, reddit/voat and such. Forming perfect little echochambers where the discussions aren't about issues anymore, just about confirming your existing beliefs and pointing fingers to the other side.

This goes for both sides in the US (fed by the dual party stranglehold) and isn't just a left or right thing. (just look at all the SJW and BLM bullshit the last few years) I think it's a very dangerous development as public servants seem to be much less accountable for their actions/statements and facts these days.
