But how would the media have reacted had a Sandy Hook parent opted to hold a highly-publicized, open casket funeral/wake? Would journos today even agree to publish pictures of mangled children?
the :alex-karma: types will just say it's hollywood special effects team and crisis actors as usual.
I actually don't believe these people have a breaking point. I say that because some of my relatives have died of covid and yet my family still denies covid is real. They watched their own father or child asphyxiate to death and yet still deny reality.
A video of child gore would instantly get picked apart. In fact, I know a person who was at a shooting (nothing large, just a robbery gone wrong and two people were shot, not killed). And this person denies the shooting ever took place. It was all actors for him. He says this because the assailant had an AR-15, which he says isn't a mass shooting gun, it's a gun for protection. That's the level of propagandized dipshit we're talking about.
The people who believe that school shootings are faked or false flags are wrapping themselves in the identity of the rebel set against the monolithic government, but in reality their conspiracies require that the government isn't actually that bad so the deaths are all faked. Their American government would never kill a bunch of American children or allow the deaths of children, in their minds, so obviously it's fake. Deep down they still trust or like their government.
True, but I think even the most q-pilled internet-brains have a breaking point
if sandy hook wasn't the breaking point then I can't imagine what would be. there are right wing freaks who look at photos of piles of corpses from the holocaust and claim they're fake.

They wouldn't spread the video, they'd just hear from 24th-hand memes that the video was debunked and spread that instead.
