The conspiracy theory is that some of the students who are speaking out against the lax gun control laws that enabled the mass shooting that killed 17 of their peers at a Parkland, Florida high school last week are not who they say they are. They are "crisis actors," paid performers funded by familiar boogeymen like George Soros to vilify gun ownership and dismantle the Second Amendment.
This is not true, but it's what the second most popular video on YouTube, which at the time of writing has 174,000 views, suggests. In the video, David Hogg, one of the more outspoken Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School students who has made several television appearances since the shooting, is seen in a CBS 2 Los Angeles news report. The report details the events of a video Hogg took and that went viral in 2017. It shows one of Hogg's friends, another teenager, confronting an overzealous lifeguard.
The journalist simply says “this is not true”. Just like that. With no facts or counter arguments to back up his claims. Gosh it makes me so mad that people will be comforted by reading those words and choosing to continue living in a bubble.
On the plus side .. it’s trending on Twitter .. there are more awake people than we are led to believe. Also shown by the fact Twitter had to change their algorithms to shut us up red pilling!
