So you see, two possible explanations:

1: Trump / the right is most likely behind the creation of a mob in order to demonstrate how well they control it so that they can affect the mid-term election outcome via pro-right sentiment

2: Soros / the left who has no real power to do this, is somehow behind the creation of a mob for no real purpose which is more likely to help the right than the left.

If you count carefully option 1 includes 27 assumptions where option 2 has 100. Occam's razor dictates therefore that option 1 is most likely.

Then we can move on and repeat this bs exercise with two options again:

1: Narrow is an loon
2: a 14,000 strong crowd from different countries, for different reasons, magically formed an organised march toward the US border despite crossing many alternative countries on the way there. It is pure coincidence that it plays directly to the lefty agenda and is perfectly timed with the mid-terms. The people who have been handing out supplies and money to them on the way were also just being generous and have no agenda whatsoever other than wanting to help

Now count the assumptions ...Option 1 clearly wins again.

Welcome, so you see, two possible explanations:

1: Trump / the right is somehow behind the creation of a mob they cannot possibly control, in order to demonstrate how well they control it so that they can affect the mid-term election outcome via pro-right sentiment

2: Soros / the left who have done this before many times, is somehow behind the creation of a mob they know cannot possibly be controlled, in order to affect the mid-term election outcome via anti-right sentiment

If you count carefully option 1 includes 3 assumptions where option 2 only has 2. Occam's razor dictates therefore that option 2 is most likely.

Then we can move on and repeat the exercise with two options again:

1: see #2 above
2: a 14,000 strong crowd from different countries, for different reasons, magically formed an organised march toward the US border despite crossing many alternative countries on the way there. It is pure coincidence that it plays directly to the lefty agenda and is perfectly timed with the mid-terms. The people who have been handing out supplies and money to them on the way were also just being generous and have no agenda whatsoever other than wanting to help

Now count the assumptions ...


This is complete nonsense, particularly your second posit.

How about proving this massive fallacy* first...
Soros / the left who have done this before many times


* fallacy, as in "false statement" because I know you are going to try to twist that into me claiming one of the formal logical fallacies.

I'd be happy if we could just stick to the actual News & Current Affairs content without childishness. Where is the moderation in this thread?
You want moderation now? When you guys had a circle jerk with anti-Trump news no one batted an eye. Now that your little cookie fest is being interrupted you want moderation? LOL :D

Nevermind Narrow, hes just triggered that Trump is most likely behind this.
:ROFL: if Trump is behind this he will get what's coming to him, no problem with that at all.

If anyone that opposes Trump is behind this, and I maintain this is the most likely scenario, then yeah I have a big problem with it. We all should have a problem with sinister people messing up 14,000 people's lives for their selfish political gain with complete impunity.

Am curious, do you think all 14 000 people would keep the secret that they where paid/influenced by 3rd parties to form this caravan? Seems a little far fetched don't you think?

Has anyone bothered to ask some probing questions and reported on it in mass media? ... Or is it specifically not being asked and not being reported?

Not far fetched at all.

You probably believe the faking of the moon landings was plausible too....:rolleyes:

That's something Libtards would believe. Conservatives have always been extremely happy with the accomplishment of the US in the space race.

Maybe the wrong analogy? But it sure as hell is a stance a libtard would take :D

Sure sure, throw a conspiracy theory red herring out there to divert.

Many more people were involved in Euromaidan, to this day the truth is not fully known and those who attempted to speak up got ridiculed or silenced.

Ditto for the convoys of oil trucks that ISIS operated for 3 whole years without anyone in the world knowing, even though everyone on the ground knew. Again involving more than 14,000 people.

Do you somehow think there's a magical critical mass number where a secret will be guaranteed to come out despite the media specifically ignoring it? You can't possibly be that naive.

The distinction is only really relevant in MMO's, in single player games every other character is an NPC.
Yip. Some on MyBB act like that
They, the NPC's are basically pre programmed, unplayable, repetitive, cannot think for themselves, can mostly be out maneuvered easilly, easy to spot, noisy, represents SJW's, etc, etc.

/runs for cover, phew.

Perhaps the media are ignoring it because there is bugger all evidence of an organised conspiracy, just because you lot see shadowy figures under every bridge doesn't mean that ever ludicrous thought that emerges from 4-chan should be treated as legitimate.
