This is one of the toughest things to do. Admitting when you were wrong. If more people had the courage to do this, the world would be a different place.

These statements are, to my eye, meant to be shocking. To shock you into thinking "what does this mean?". For me, these mean that your journey is yours, but simultaneously the same as everyone's. And if you wish to arrive at the top of the mountain, you must be willing to set aside any teachings you were given by third parties. The way up the mountain will be explained to you by the mountain, and to you ... by you.

I think it’s one of the main components of our sin nature, PRIDE. Pride goes before the fall. Pride is why Lucifer was cast out of heaven. God calls us to humble ourselves all throughout his word.
From my knowledge, it has only become such a problem in relatively recent memory.
Yes, it is true that pride has a strong hold on us as a species. However, we come from humbler beginnings where we were taught to be more respectful to each other, and the value of hard work.
Now it's instant gratification here, Google curated results there.
Amen! Even our son, when he was 11 ( now 34), didn't understand the "participation" trophies. He got one in Boy Scouts for a model car race that he lost. He looked at the trophy, then looked at us and said, "But I didn't win." He threw it away.
It helps our communities welcome people. Hell I voted Hillary before I woke up. Only angry attacks I’ve gotten since switching parties are from liberals. Also, those same people have been very quite lately.
MSM is being destroyed from the inside out, trapped by their own lies. Once people see the truth, they will begin to wonder if other stories were twisted for an agenda. They might see the Jan. 6th prisoners are being treated just like Kyle. Presumed guilty, have to prove innocence.
You'd think. I went into a thread on reddit with people realizing everything they learned about Kyle was a lie where the topic of the Arbery shooting came up. I tried to set the record straight, e.g. Not a jogger but a robber, attacked the person, etc...and they just down voted it to oblivion. Newsflash motherfuckers, the media is lying about that case too.
Good for them for owning it, but they still have a ways to go.
"I believed that he opened fire and killed innocent BLACK people"
You cannot blame the media for the implication of this statement, that somehow if he'd "opened fire and killed innocent WHITE/ASIAN/HISPANIC people" that it would somehow be any better. You can't blame CNN for that, that's on you.
Exactly. She is still in the CRT matrix. That one statement shows she is still a scumbag leftist and it will take a lot of red pills before she is even a normie.
She is still virtue signalling her superiority. Fuck this dumb ass bitch.
Who do you guys think are the main boots on the ground for wide scale voter fraud in this country? There’s one group at large that lacks integrity and will sell out their host country for a few hundos and a bucket of fried chicken.
Admitting you were wrong is hard. We here are bonded by being stubbornly right. I was once very wrong to trust rino republicans like Bush, McCain, Romney, Cheney... but eventually was able to recognize reality. Our big tent has plenty of room for late arrivals to the party.
I made a public apology for a misleading post on here not long ago, got a wonderful response. People are very gracious to those who are humble and honest
Because the other side is evil, not ours. That was OUR brainwashing. We couldn't see that they were on the same side, because we the people had been divided for so long. They divided us, and pretended to be divided themselves. They never were. They were simply playing their roles really, really well.
The beauty and true uniqueness of Conservatives… we understand, we know you were misguided and in some cases - a lot of us stood in your shoes at one time or another / the difference between conservative and liberal is simple - humility…
Like Jesus, we forgive your previous sins - welcome to the enlightenment friend!
The ONLY thing you ever had to do was watch the footage. It is all there. Without manipulative bullshit, the self defense case was CLEAR. He was fighting them basically detonating a MOAB at that gas station, if that burning dumpster would've ignited some fumes, the whole thing would've EXPLODED. Kyle SAVED LIVES from the rioters!
Not only that, but most of the people rioting weren't even from the area! The people destroying the area were outsiders!
Thanks for updating. I’m black and I want white folks to understand that THEY HATE YOU and all of us. That’s why Kyle must be dispatched... he identified the real enemy. Ncswic fren 👍🏽
I think her statement was meant to point out that the news is bullshit. She was saying msm dishonestly created the WHITE supremacy narrative which led the sheep to believe he went on a mission to kill BLACK people at a "peaceful protest"
She's got a ways to go, but that is normal. Most people don't realize everything at once, and it is normal human nature to deflect as much as they can even after they acknowledge they were wrong in their conclusions. Now that she is travelling the right road, it is your job to help her and other such find the rest of the way there.
It takes a class act to admit you are wrong and own it. Welcome to the R3VO7UTION!
If Twitter treats you badly, it may be time to come here for some encouragement.
WOW now that is what I call a GREAT AWAKENING - BOO YAH!
Things like this is what makes me believe IT HAD TO BE THIS WAY and the only method of destroying the illusion is to operation warpspeed this shit and let them take it all and destroy themselves in real time.
This is a good time for magnanimity. People make mistakes, people are stubborn. Being willing to forgive, besides being moral, is a great way to start the process of deprogramming brainwashed people.
A gentle response deflects fury,
but a harsh word makes tempers rise.

The tongue of the wise presents knowledge well,
but the mouth of a fool spews out folly.
Now how about everyone is forced to learn all the inconvenient facts about James Alex Fields, Jr.. I'm not saying he didn't screw up but everything about his trial was just wrong.
Be kind to people who do this. I know we've all lost friends over our beliefs. Or lost family members. Or lost jobs. Or whatever.
I know we all carry a lot of hurt directly because of people like who this lady used to be.
And it's tempting to confront the few who wake up with some form of "what took you so long". It will be tempting to work out some measure of the years of frustration we've felt.
Do not do this. You must be 100% gracious to people who wake up. No smugness. No anger. Nothing like that. As soon as they wake up, they're one of us with all the grace you'd extend to a "fellow traveler" (to borrow from Commie lingo).
Otherwise you may drive them back to the other side, or worse, prevent others who see that they won't be accepted from coming out publicly.
Hopefully, people can understand, now that they KNOW how far off media coverage was on this, that the same media is likely to also be wrong about many other things, and to quit taking their word as gospel. Hopefully this is a huge wake up event.
I wish that she would have retweeted herself back then because she appears to have been red-pilled and such a prolific poster for so long that I got tired of scrolling.
I think it was implied because it was a BLM 'protest'. I don't think the media actually stated that those shot were black but a LOT of people seemed to have assumed it. That's why you see a lot of people acting shocked that they just learned he shot white people.
The media are outright evil and they are molding the minds of those who take their info from the MSM and who don't check for themselves.
I’ll be honest…. I truly don’t believe most of these post. This is like the 6th or 7th one i have seen all of them saying literally the same thing… how they were hooked on fake news, thought he killed black people, white supremicist, but eyes opened now, blah blah…
It all seems to scripted. Kind of like all the bot posts on twitter that say the same shit
This is one of the toughest things to do. Admitting when you were wrong. If more people had the courage to do this, the world would be a different place.
Its also one of the most liberating and self empowering things anyone can do. Self respect and integrity are at stake.
The Obstacle Is The Way.
Agreed.

Guy with excellent username drops big wisdom. Thank you!
Also I have a saying I use to remind myself of these thoughts. The idea that we are all in the same situation.
"All on the Mountain".
Remember that you are you, and unique. But you are not alone. We are All on the (Same) Mountain.
I am Gunga Din.
I only carry the water.
In my opinion we are deliberately conditioned into being self righteous know it alls who have to be correct at any cost
I think it’s one of the main components of our sin nature, PRIDE. Pride goes before the fall. Pride is why Lucifer was cast out of heaven. God calls us to humble ourselves all throughout his word.
Yes....PRIDE. What is at the center of the word? Me, myself, and "I". Same with SIN.
Hmm, but is it pride?
From my knowledge, it has only become such a problem in relatively recent memory.
Yes, it is true that pride has a strong hold on us as a species. However, we come from humbler beginnings where we were taught to be more respectful to each other, and the value of hard work.
Now it's instant gratification here, Google curated results there.
This is a very wise observation and I think the psyche of my generation is self righteous. That meme - smug goat - is the epitome of the mindset.
My dad called it being a "right-fighter". Trying to be right at all costs...
It's hard to think otherwise when you're handed trophies just for showing up.
Amen! Even our son, when he was 11 ( now 34), didn't understand the "participation" trophies. He got one in Boy Scouts for a model car race that he lost. He looked at the trophy, then looked at us and said, "But I didn't win." He threw it away.
Still based to this day. Love that kid. LOL
We can, but it takes introspection, patience and a good heart.
Somewhere along the way we stopped having respect for each other.
And better by far.
one of the AA steps of recovery/sobriety. Something about taking personal inventory and when wrong promptly admit it.
It helps our communities welcome people. Hell I voted Hillary before I woke up. Only angry attacks I’ve gotten since switching parties are from liberals. Also, those same people have been very quite lately.

Newsflash motherfuckers, the media is lying about that case too.
Some still think Smirking kid deserved the negative press and never learned about his $250 mil+ lawsuit settlements. Effing retards, the lot of 'em.
lol did people really think Kyle put down a bunch of joggers? Fucking kek.
They assumed that because Kyle killed felons that he killed black people. Who's actually the racist now?
Nah, they never even got to the felon part, only that it was a racial injustice protest.
Correct
Lol
Owning up and acknowledging growth is important and a sign of person who is acting with intent .good on this person for sharing real growth
first reply probably " OMG were you hacked ?! "
Answer: YES.
Hack the planet!!!!
Good for them for owning it, but they still have a ways to go.
You cannot blame the media for the implication of this statement, that somehow if he'd "opened fire and killed innocent WHITE/ASIAN/HISPANIC people" that it would somehow be any better. You can't blame CNN for that, that's on you.

Good points. Thanks for the new perspective.
Who do you guys think are the main boots on the ground for wide scale voter fraud in this country? There’s one group at large that lacks integrity and will sell out their host country for a few hundos and a bucket of fried chicken.
Accountants?

Took me a long ass time to accept that Bush was a sumbag...
Because the other side is evil, not ours. That was OUR brainwashing. We couldn't see that they were on the same side, because we the people had been divided for so long. They divided us, and pretended to be divided themselves. They never were. They were simply playing their roles really, really well.
there will always be people who will take advantage of the goodwill of others. The hard part is staying a good person in the face of that...
Plural "Bush". They had me fooled. No more.
Same.
The beauty and true uniqueness of Conservatives… we understand, we know you were misguided and in some cases - a lot of us stood in your shoes at one time or another / the difference between conservative and liberal is simple - humility…
Like Jesus, we forgive your previous sins - welcome to the enlightenment friend!
Well said.
Hope you continue to seek truth
I think once someone opens their eyes and sees how they have been lied to, there's no going back.
Yes, I think this person now has the tools to completely redpill herself.
Maybe this is the shot heard around the world.
This case is proving the steadfast and unstoppable downfall of mainstream media. Anyone paying attention to this case is being woken up, big time.
This person says it perfect : They didn't even know the ahem "victims" were all white. Quite possibly the reason CNN is deciding to clean house?
The ONLY thing you ever had to do was watch the footage. It is all there. Without manipulative bullshit, the self defense case was CLEAR. He was fighting them basically detonating a MOAB at that gas station, if that burning dumpster would've ignited some fumes, the whole thing would've EXPLODED. Kyle SAVED LIVES from the rioters!
Not only that, but most of the people rioting weren't even from the area! The people destroying the area were outsiders!
Translation: I thought he was bad for killing black people, but now I know they were ((white)) people and I'm cool with that.
They are jewish... that’s why they are so mad.
Oops, I forgot. I fixed my original post. Thanks!
Thanks for updating. I’m black and I want white folks to understand that THEY HATE YOU and all of us. That’s why Kyle must be dispatched... he identified the real enemy. Ncswic fren 👍🏽
I like to say that it was a strike / jackpot 🍒🍒🍒
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I don't watch TV. I had NO CLUE about this CNN created narrative of Kyle killing black people. Is that for real?
Would not surprise me in the least. Watched a few seconds of Don Lemon spinning the narrative, had to tun off - utterly sickening and shameful.
They likely twisted words and phrasing to imply that that's what happened rather than explicitly say it.
It's what they do.
I think they said Kyle killed a couple people at a BLM peaceful protest. So people probably assumed the victims were black.
Due to the color of the people's skin that tried to murder a man, I have changed my mind about how horrible he is.
Nice logic.
At least she figured out the news is bullshit.
I think her statement was meant to point out that the news is bullshit. She was saying msm dishonestly created the WHITE supremacy narrative which led the sheep to believe he went on a mission to kill BLACK people at a "peaceful protest"
She's taken the biggest step. Her subconscious will probably kick in now to reassess all her programming. Mine did. It takes a little bit of time.
Now I reassess my position regularly and I'm hungry for data.
yes we're watching a seed about to take root and flush out the CRT toxins.
She's got a ways to go, but that is normal. Most people don't realize everything at once, and it is normal human nature to deflect as much as they can even after they acknowledge they were wrong in their conclusions. Now that she is travelling the right road, it is your job to help her and other such find the rest of the way there.
It takes a class act to admit you are wrong and own it. Welcome to the R3VO7UTION! If Twitter treats you badly, it may be time to come here for some encouragement.
So misread this as "class action"...
... then I started to wonder if I was wrong....
WOW now that is what I call a GREAT AWAKENING - BOO YAH!
Things like this is what makes me believe IT HAD TO BE THIS WAY and the only method of destroying the illusion is to operation warpspeed this shit and let them take it all and destroy themselves in real time.
This is a good time for magnanimity. People make mistakes, people are stubborn. Being willing to forgive, besides being moral, is a great way to start the process of deprogramming brainwashed people.
Absolutely. A soft answer turns away wroth.
Amen!

fuck the left for appropriating language
All three 'victims' were 'white' people.
I hope they'll find out about the other funny (((coincidence))) behind these 'facts' (for lack of a better word)
Hopefully, people can understand, now that they KNOW how far off media coverage was on this, that the same media is likely to also be wrong about many other things, and to quit taking their word as gospel. Hopefully this is a huge wake up event.
Thank you Jesus, you take the worst sins in the world and use them for ultimate good. You are so amazing, I see you behind every win we see.
Great, libby.
Now ask yourself
WHAT ELSE
have I been lied to about in the exact same cynical, manipulative manner?
I wish that she would have retweeted herself back then because she appears to have been red-pilled and such a prolific poster for so long that I got tired of scrolling.
Where, when, and by who did the rumor start about Rittenhouse killing black people?
I think it was implied because it was a BLM 'protest'. I don't think the media actually stated that those shot were black but a LOT of people seemed to have assumed it. That's why you see a lot of people acting shocked that they just learned he shot white people.
The media are outright evil and they are molding the minds of those who take their info from the MSM and who don't check for themselves.
I’ll be honest…. I truly don’t believe most of these post. This is like the 6th or 7th one i have seen all of them saying literally the same thing… how they were hooked on fake news, thought he killed black people, white supremicist, but eyes opened now, blah blah… It all seems to scripted. Kind of like all the bot posts on twitter that say the same shit
Once you see it you can’t go back
Exactly.
Sincere understanding and apology. It's the most positive change of heart. God bless all who come forward.
Welcome to reality. It's a heavy burden to carry but once you're redpilled, you never go back ;)
We all can grow and learn. There is still hope for humanity.
Group hug Hear Me Roar.....come on in sister....and welcome home.
