Minitrue Rectifies Cat Meat Narrative
Google is mostly useless, now, but use the date range function. When [insert any topic here] becomes the controversy du jour, go search for results that predate the controversy. Shift the end date, and watch the narrative change: X is incontestably true on Monday, but then Not-X is true on Tuesday, and anyone who says X is a shameful liar. This happens over and over and over again in mainstream, “gatekeeper” media. Truth is…highly variable, let’s just say. It is disinformation to say the thing we said yesterday, experts say.
I’ve written about the way American newspapers like the Washington Post framed Israeli attacks on al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza as a militarily bizarre response based on false claims that Hamas had some kind of association with the hospital. Total crazy talk! Also, the very same newspapers had reported for years that al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza was a “de facto headquarters” for Hamas, and reporters went to the hospital to interview Hamas officials. Newspapers that had sent reporters to the hospital to meet with Hamas officials ran stories saying flatly that there was no evidence Hamas had a presence at the hospital. True on Monday, false on Tuesday. The facts didn’t change; the narrative changed, so the facts were rectified.
So.
People who say that some Haitians eat cats are LITERAL NAZIS, oh no.
The BBC, for example, is absolutely horrified that racist MAGA fascists are making bizarre false claims about people eating pets, which is completely false and no one ever does that:
Also, same BBC:
How strange. Did Donald Trump recently resign from an editorial position at the BBC?
Similarly, the New York Times is pretty sure Trump has crossed a dangerous line that no one should ever cross:
But weirdly, this paragraph is from a New York Times story published in 2019:
I’m sure there are a bunch of good people in the United States whose families came here from Haiti who are extremely tired of hearing the cat-eating thing, and the Times reference in 2019 described it as a slur (while putting it in print, natch). But it didn’t start with Trump, and there’s evidence that some recent Haitian immigrants have really done this.
Try this yourself: Do a date-limited search and see what the gatekeepers thought about cat-eating cultures before the ORANGE DEVIL said “they’re eating the pets of the people who live there.” History didn’t start last week. The relentless promulgation of dimwitted hysteria is boring.
We already know how this story will play out... 1) Trump crossed a line, no one is eating cats! 2) Why does it matter that some cultures eat cats? It’s a cultural thing, don’t be so judgmental. 3) Here’s why eating cats is a good thing! 4) Anyone who doesn’t support eating cats is a white racist.
Bro they really do kill people's pets. On purpose to intimidate and harass. I know someone who had their dog killed and left for them in West Palm in the 90s and they were in the Coast Guard. They have money for food and if it was bc they were hungry then why not feral cats if it's so tasty and they crave it. Here's what I've learned living in FL stay tf away from the Haitians, they hate white people, I'm sure there's good Haitians out there who are just as scared as the menacing types as the rest of us and are afraid of blowback, do not give them the puffer fish either as Haitian zombies are a thing too. I don't fuck with people who are into Voodoo, Hoodoo or Santeria bro. A lot of black people don't like the menacing Haitians either. If you have never met one it's hard to describe, it's their eyes and gaze and expression and energy that roils with palpable hate. I wish I didn't know this and could just take the ignorant stance that KamKam did. NYPD has had issues with animal sacrifice in Haitian areas for a long time. This is widely known stuff but then again GenZ and a lot of younger millenials are not big picture thinkers and have limited curiosity and memory.
