"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book
Jun 12, 2020, 11:48 PM

rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” —George Orwell 1984

Did you read it to see where the specific claims might be wrong or try to assess what it says in any way? Or did you just commit the genetic logical fallacy of assuming something can't be true because of who said it?
BTW - Bruh? What are you? Twelve.

With InfoWars that is a very safe assumption.
Alex Jones just throws whatever's in his brain at the time on the wall and sees if it sticks. I feel no compulsion whatsoever to sift through the mountain of excrement he produces just to divine if somehow he produced a nugget of actual truth.

I’m not going to give InfoWars a single click

I already know the excrement they spew. Find a better sourced site and I’ll read it.
Would you bother reading an ‘article’ from a far left website that consistently spews lies and hatred? I wouldn’t either.

Read the compelling article! Maybe you do not understand it. Doesn’t matter where it is from.

I wonder if you could sift through a copy of Mein Kampf for an opinion you agree with?
I mean, if it doesn't matter where an idea came from, right?

Something something “both sides”

Funny how people from different sides can read this same quote and point fingers toward the other.
What does this have to do about Clemson?

They are mostly peaceful rioters. Plenty of good people on both sides.

They changed the name on the honors building at Clemson so now we will become just like Orwell's 1984. You wont even recognize the university in 5 years.

Spot on. Except for, well, most of those things.

No one is falsifying records, rewriting all of the books, etc.
Removing something that confers honor upon someone or something is very different from erasing all references to that person or thing.
Orwell was talking about the latter, which isn’t happening. The only people suggesting such a thing are those who have resorted to the slippery slope argument, because they’re upset that we will no longer be honoring people who believed blacks shouldn’t have equal protection under the law.

It's sort of a horrible realisation that our fan base is such backward people. There were people here actually posting about their disgust about the female coach adopting a child with her female partner or calling protesters rioters or terrorist. It just shows me people that have never traveled the world and lived in different places and met and have gotten to know different people from different cultures and walks of life. They have just stayed in the on little worlds, scared and afraid.

If changing the name of a building is “falsifying a record” then wasn’t that also true when it was renamed “Tillman”? We are just correcting that record to the original truth by changing it back to Old Main.
