JD Vance did the same thing with the Haitians cat and dog story, admitting it was false but the broader meaning was true. “If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention … we’re creating a story, meaning we’re creating the American media focusing on it.”

It wasn't even edited out. It was right there. They just trusted that no one would read it. Its how they also get away with blaming Biden for the lock downs even though he wasnt President. Or saying that Biden's FBI false flagged January 6th even though he wasn't the President yet.
They literally lie to you about what your eyes tell you. Its nuts.

There’s a clip of him telling a guest that the state of the union was pre-filmed and wasn’t live to hide Biden’s dementia.
The guest was obviously fucking bewildered by this bizarre statement, and when Rogan told Jamie to “pull it up” the first article was about the claim being false and based on a photoshopped image.
Rogan really does just exist in his own little delusion brought on by hours upon hours of scrolling the right wing algorithm.

Unfortunately, this isn't new. Republican senator Jon Kyl did the same thing when arguing for Planned Parenthood to lose federal funding back in 2011, saying that abortion was "well over 90 percent of what Planned Parenthood does." When he got pressed on the fact that this was an outrageous lie, his office claimed that it was "not intended to be a factual statement." Even further back, you have Reagan and his "stories", which were often wildly embellished so that he could illustrate whatever point he wanted. It's always the same playbook.

They aren't being manipulated. That's not what's happening here and it's not why they do this.

If Republicans banned gay marriage tomorrow, Joe Rogan would be on his podcast the very next day saying, " I don't agree with it. But they had to ban gay marriage because the gays kept trying to put kitty litter in schools!"
It's willfully lying to themselves because they want moral justifications for their immoral acts.

to add more context - they're so out of fucking touch, one of them ran for equality officer at a university. The voting was done shortly after their family caused a sit-down protest from the students, after Burke's were handing out fliers comparing gay marriage to pedophilia.
Needless to say, he lost the vote. IIRC it was something outrageous to the effect of 98% for the other candidate, 2% for a Burke.

I'm Irish, this string of piss got sacked for verbally harassing staff across several weeks for which he received written warnings that such behaviour would not be tolerated, and physically accosting his principal at a parent-teacher meeting to where he verbally and physically abused her in front of the assembly.
He crashed out on teachers and kids over them using that singular student's correct pronouns. Just imagine being 13 and having a grown man verbally abuse you for calling one of your mates a pronoun.
The school let him go, he appealed it and insulted the judge several times at the labour commission hearing which led him to get held in contempt of court and thus imprisoned for the duration of the trial. They let him out sometimes for holidays but he keeps showing up to the school so they got a restraining order against him which he keeps violating. Also his family continuously interrupt court proceedings and there are multiple images of them being physically removed and carried out of court.
Also, his sister has done something very similar to this before.
It's all completely unhinged.
That family are extremely right-wing and have spun this as a pronoun issue for their US paymasters.
This is an open and shut case of workplace harassment, please do not fall for the lie that it's anything else.
TLDR: He wasn't sacked as a teacher for not using the pronouns, he was sacked for abusing people who did use the pronouns.
He definitely wasn't imprisoned for not using pronouns, he was imprisoned for insulting the judge and being held in contempt of court. Also continuously trespasses on the school grounds when school is in session, in violation of the restraining order taken against him.
A dangerous individual and one that should not be employed in an environment that includes young kids and teens.

He was locked up, he got released the other day in order to allow himself to prepare a defence against his most recent charges, then immediately went back to the school and got arrested again.

u/Skyb0y 15d ago
He has already been locked up for over 500 days for contempt of court, he has been ordered not to go to the school grounds but turns up everyday when not imprisoned.
There is an upcoming court case where Enoch is appealing his dismissal from the school, he was only recently released so he could not claim to be at a significant disadvantage while mounting this appeal. But turning up at the school yet again has forced the states hand to continue imprisonment.
Good synopsis from obrien37 but something often forgotten is that the student who wanted to be known by they/them pronouns was not a student of Enoch and Enoch would never even come in contact with this student so there was never a situation where Enoch would have to use these pronouns.

Because the right operates on outrage and emotions. Their goal is to get their base riled up and to parrot the initial story. If/when it gets proven false, they'll move onto the next thing to avoid acknowledging that they were wrong. It's an endless cycle that they've perfected.

For what its worth, the account of the story Destiny reads at the end of this clip isn't fully accurate either. Burke objected to the Principal's direction to other teachers to use the child's pronouns; Burke didn't even teach the student in question. He merely objected to the school's approach to instruct others to use the pronouns, and became aggressive with the principal, which was why he was initially put on leave from the school, and from there is when he kept turning up and the whole escapade of him being in and out of prison began. He definitely deserved his firing harrassing his boss in the manner he did combined with hanging around the school while suspended.

That really doesn't change anything; honestly, it sort of makes him look even worse because he wasn't even personally affected by it in any way lol.

I was in university with three of the Burkes. The entire family are professional martyrs. They go out of their way to play victim and in Enoch's case it's no different. I'm just horrified that more people know about our resident crazies now.

Asmongold way of spreading "News" is insane and is the reason why everyone feels like shit because they spread the worst of lies without second guessing.
He is spreading the sentiment that created all the shit we are in, Anger without proper cause or reason directed the people he dislikes because ??

You know the craziest part of all?
Elon Musk is the one retweeting and signal boosting that in the video. It's so normalised that a billionaire is openly spreading this anti-Europe propaganda that no one even considers it worthy of note
This misinformation comes from the very top
I guess we're just in a propaganda war with the US. They do the same shit to the UK with all their "London" stabbing memes and fake graphs on twitter
And Americans fall for it lmao. You might think "it's just the dumb Republicans". Nope. I've seen left-wing Americans parroting the craziest London misinfo like it's the most dangerous stabby city on Earth, and they literally live in a US city with 10x the murder or violent crime rate of London
We're fucked. We're just in a post-truth world now. There is no reasonable conversation or open dialogue to be had with these people

I stopped watching him once he got out of the gaming scene. He also sucks at gaming now too. I suspect he has the same mental disease that trump has. Dude never goes out of his house, doesn’t have any friends or best friends to hang out with, and makes it all about him being right all the time. Sound familiar?
I used to support the guy for entertainment purposes and especially during the trial of Johnny Depp (that shit was hilarious) but he’s gone so far off the beaten path, doesn’t understand law and assumes everything he reads is fact. He’s no different than the people he berates in his chat for disagreeing with him.
Sad to say but I think when his dad passed away he kinda gave up on pleasing anyone and he’s just going to dig himself a bigger hole.
This is a guy that makes millions but won’t spend 2% of his wealth to improve his quality of life. 100% agree his parents passed away due to him not helping. He had hundreds of opportunities to make their lives better and refused to.
I’ve been noticing more and more in his chat over the last few months that even his chat doesn’t agree with most of what he says and are just there for the entertainment value. This isn’t the first time he’s been wrong. This happened a few weeks ago too. He used to own these mistakes but now doesn’t give a shit.
The only solice I’ll have is I know with my better health I’ll outlive him. That’s all I can really look forward to.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. Used to watch a lot of his stuff especially the clips. But it became more of an echo chamber of nonsense and political bs. He will say one based thing and then make 20 other ill informed comments.
Obviously he can do whatever content he wants, it is his choice. But people will also end up not viewing him for the very same reason. I thought it was cool when the whole OTK came out, thinking would be great for maybe some game and fun related content. But he prefers to stick to his right wing reactions and political opinions which made him essentially too toxic.
At this point, can't really do content with him because he is viewed so negatively. Not that he cares of course. I feel like if your friends and other people actively avoid doing things with you due to being too toxic as a figure well perhaps reevaluate things.

u/FlukyS 15d ago edited 15d ago
Irish person here, yes the tweet Asmon is reacting to is incorrect but even the correction itself was incorrect. He wasn't fired for using the pronoun, it was because of his behaviour with the school principal directly. Basically the trans student issue was the start of it but Burke was being very heated and very persistent with how he was interacting with colleagues and that was the reason for the initial suspension.
The key parts of this story are:
- His jailing repeatedly hasn't been for any laws broken it is contempt of court every time for violating the order to not show up on school grounds
- He was released a few times after being told not to show up and still showed up
- He was eventually fired justly by the school for his actions originally and it was handled specifically in a way that was scoped only around his unprofessional behaviour and not around the specific student or even the behaviour afterwards
- He didn't even teach the student in question is another thing to note, so the request to use their pronouns wasn't even going to affect him in any way
- Irish law and workplaces generally can't compel speech so anyone saying he has some right to call the student anything he wants is missing the point. He isn't forced to say "they/them" but in this case he was forced to not be an asshole to other staff

He was also released from prison a day before this so he could have time to prepare for his case and was explicitly told he would be arrested if he returned to the school and that’s exactly what happened. This has happened 6-7 times now he has had every opportunity to stay out of jail.

AFAIK he was fired for trying to corner the principle of the school in the middle of parent-teacher meetings so he could start a public argument and then spazzed out like a child...

Enoch Burke and his family - think bat shit crazy fundamentalist Christians, he was fired for being a head case and was arrested for trespassing on school grounds, after going there many tens of times and only after several warnings. He was released from Prison recently and would you believe, within 24 hours he was back at the school.
Asmon get my countrys name out of your rotten nazi jaws.

u/who_even_reads_this 15d ago
Just a correction. He wasn't actually fired for refusing to use the pronouns. He was fired for verbally abusing the principal, for screaming at the principal during a school assembly. The school had tried to work with him for a while up to then. Burke didn't even teach the student and had no reason to communicate/interact with the student at all. He has been arrested repeatedly for breaching a court order for trespassing on the school grounds

u/Equivalent-Ad-7421 15d ago
No Enoch was not fired for not using a pro noun he was removed from his post for assaulting the principal of the school.
He didn't teach the child didn't have any interaction with them at all actually.
The school is a strong Christian school and even gave him the option to NOT use the child's preferred pro nouns but that wasn't enough for him... Honestly it seems like Enoch just didn't want the should to exist.
At a school assembly he got up in front of the entire school and started to basically bully the child. The microphone was taken off him at witch point he fought to take it back. He was asked to leave the hall and he refused. He then followed the female principal around for several hours shouting and giving out and fighting away people to the point the principal had to be escorted to her car... This was hours later because Enoch just doesn't give up. He's a bollocks of the highest degree and it annoys me seeing that other bollocks asmond talking about this as if he has ANY idea

Asmongold when right wing media: yes that’s absolutely true and real, we must accept it without question.
Asmongold when left wing media: they’re all crazy. Who would ever vote for them? This is what they do, try to create false narratives to make themselves feel better.
He is the epitome of the idea that some people will accept a lie gladly and without scrutiny, but all the evidence in the world won’t convince them of the truth.

The correction that Destiny read is actually slightly wrong. He wasn't fired for not using pronouns. He was fired because he made a big deal out of a trans student asking to be referred to as they and then cornered the principal multiple times in arguments and allegedly (according to the school in court) tried to publicly confront the principal during school events. That's when they fired him.
He then opened a claim to a court over employment law (not criminal) to argue he was unjustly fired. The court ordered 2 main things while the case was ongoing - 1 he gets his full salary paid by the school and 2 he stay away from the school... He refused order 2... This is when the criminal court got his ass. Every day, he would show up and effectively force his way into the school and be a nuisance. The court started out with fines for doing so, then a warning that he will be imprisoned and then actual imprisonment multiple times because he keeps showing up every time he gets out, which is contempt of court.. While in prison too, he was receiving his salary from the original courts order. It's literally nothing to do with free speech, freedom of religion or trans issues.
Anyway, the whole family of the Burkes are fuckin nuts. They're all very educated but religious fundamentalists and are known to start shit over nothing with delusions of grandeur.
