The Left's Hate-Crime Hoax Machine A Large-Scale, Coordinated Campaign Of Misinformation And Cultural Lies The Left's Hate-Crime Hoax Machine A Large-Scale, Coordinated Campaign Of Misinformation And Cultural Lies Hoax hate crimes belong to a larger category of ideologically motivated hoaxes, meant to sway public opinion and impact policy and legislation.  There are broadly three types of ideological hoaxes. First, one finds journalistic hoaxes.  Among these are the hoax of the Duke lacrosse-players and the UVA rape case.  Such cases are fabricated and sensationalized in order to support the ideological claim of "rape culture on campuses." Second, there are academic hoaxes, which are "studies" based on fabricated data and cherry-picked samples designed to provide an ideological outcome.  For example, there was a study that showed that gays die much earlier because people do not support calling two men in a romantic relationship a marriage. The third type is the fake hate crime.  They are meant to prove the existence of violent bigots who attack the heroic victims, such as Jussie Smollett, Mathew Shepherd, and Tyler Clementi.  These function as morality tales, with a victim hero and a religious martyr who proves the existence of endemic hate and violence.  At the center exists the brave innocent who suffered for all our sins.  These, by eliciting pity, prove victimhood and the harms of homophobia, racism, and sexism.
