And if people would rather choose this allegedly horrible evil over you, then what does that say about you and your campaign?
Looking to journoswine for truth is like looking to prostitutes for love. That's not what they're there for. That's not their job.
If you find yourself outraged by something written online, it was likely written for the express purpose of outraging you, because outrage is the fuel which makes the engine of social media turn.
The writers were just writing what they know, because they are sobbing messes with daddy issues seeking emotional validation. Also, they claim to be lesbians despite having penises.
Combating misinformation, hate speech, and violence sounds great... right up until you find out who gets to define what is and is not misinformation, hate speech, and violence, and how they use that definition to advance their own agenda.
Remember kids, there is no legitimate argument against globohomo. Anything that runs contrary to the official narrative is misinformation and hate speech, therefore it must be banned, as must everyone who believes it.
Never ever ever trust anyone who claims to hold a permanent monopoly on truth or morality.
Like everything else about John, this sob story is fake and gay. He just likes to present himself as cool and interesting. He's finally admitting he's a guy because he thinks he can gain social advantage from it.
As is the case with any conspiracy theory, the 'far-right conservative fascist gamer bigots' are simultaneously a small fringe minority of irrelevant losers, and a major cultural force capable of tanking billion dollar entertainment franchises and getting presidents elected.
No one is better at deceiving you than you, especially when you want to be deceived. Lots of people who are unhappy grasp for simple explanations and solutions as to why they're unhappy that confirm their suspicions, allay their fears, support their fantasies, or help them throw rocks at their perceived enemies. It's not my fault I'm miserable and failing at life, it's white supermacy's fault! Or it's patriarchy's fault! Or it's transphobia's fault! Or it's capitalism's fault! Or it's Donald Trump's fault! Or it's OP's fault!
We get manipulated because we get swept up in the stories we tell ourselves. Our minds naturally recognize patterns and fill in the blanks with our own experiences and biases, creating our own narrative that is extremely seductive. Confirmation bias kicks in, and pretty soon we can't tell the difference between the constructed narrative and reality. Or perhaps, we do not want to. Even if that lie is horrible, like "Neo-Nazis are everywhere and want to kill me". The more one becomes invested in this narrative, the more difficult it is to realize that it isn't real.
Combine this with an echo chamber that will give you a social reward for believing this lie--and a social punishment for speaking against it, and you've got one hell of a drug. Are you afraid you might be a coward? Join us in pretending to believe this lie and you can pretend to feel brave. Are you afraid that your life is meaningless? Join us in pretending to believe this lie and you can pretend your life has purpose. Are you afraid you’re mired in mediocrity? Join us in pretending to believe this lie and you can pretend to feel exceptional. Are you worried that you won’t be able to forget that you’re just pretending and that all those good feelings will thus seem hollow and empty? Join us and we will pretend it’s true for you if you will pretend it’s true for us.
You can’t be doing well if it seems like an improvement to base your life and your sense of self on an insane fantasy that you know is only a fantasy. But they keep doing it, because when the fantasy gets challenged, it threatens to send them back to whatever their lives were like before they latched onto this desperate alternative.
The ends justify the means. If you think your cause is a moral emergency, you can break the rules in pursuit of the cause.
Look up narcissistic rage. When a narcissist gets told no, their response is to destroy the offender.
This is hardly news. Kamala is an empty suit for Obama to rule by proxy, and Obama is pro-Iran.
Progressives are screaming to vote for Kamala because she is a woman, yet they can't define what a woman is.
If Elon Musk truly wished to destroy the woke mind virus, the best thing he could do with Twitter is to simply shut it down, as Twitter is the number one way in which the virus spreads.
This is why we have a crisis of trust in this country, because the journoswine and the experts keep lying.
What if--and hear me out now--what if instead of spending multiple hours a day on social media consuming fear, anger, envy, despair, and porn... you didn't do that?
Okay then, you should be in favor of heavily taxing these hedge funds and making sure universities can't exploit this loophole. After all, you want to tax the rich, right?
It's called kayfabe. People don't watch the news or go on social media to become informed, they tune in for the emotional high. Pretend to care about our cause and we'll manage your emotions for you. Everyone knows that it is bullshit, but you can never say so out loud or you'll get cancelled. So everyone keeps pretending that the things that don’t make sense make sense, and they keep pretending that they believe things they don’t to avoid the social consequences of telling the truth.
Wait till you find out how many members of the Weathermen--who are actual terrorists, bank robbers, and murders--went on to become professors and other members of leftist institutions. Read this.
I bet you have had to live with these retards to have such detailed knowledge. It's usually the people who have had to live with leftists in particular that truly understand how they think.
Former college professor, so yes. Books by former cultists are becoming very trendy nowadays too.
Its more than just lying. The really funny part is how pissy they get when someone points out that their lies are lies.
First off, the lies of progressivism are implausible to the point of ridiculousness. No amount of upvotes will change the fact that every cell in your body has a Y chromosome and that you are physiologically male and always have been since the day you were born. No amount of Instagram followers will change the fact that eating more calories than you burn will make you fat. No amount of retweets will change the fact that you cannot radically restructure society and expect it to work the way you want it to, solely because you want it to, whether that be abolishing the police or gutting your industry in the name of fighting climate change.
Second, the lies the progressives perpetuate are horrible. They want to believe that the world is fundamentally and irredeemably racist. They want to believe that police officers are gunning down dozens of unarmed black men every day and getting away with it. They want to believe that covid kills or permanently debilitates everyone who catches it. They want to believe climate change will kill billions of people over the next decade. They want to believe that we are perpetually minutes away from roving gangs of Nazis dragging black and queer kids out of their homes in broad daylight and violently raping and/or murdering them in the streets while no one says anything. They want to believe that all of this injustice, humiliation, and violence isn't just inevitable, it's irresistible. You are forever doomed to lose at life because of your identity and/or you are complicit in perpetuating this engine of destruction.
But what is really fascinating is that when presented with evidence that all of the above isn't true, they don't feel relief, they get defensive and angry. When they are given apologies, they don't accept them. When someone else points out the contradictions and faulty logic, they cover their ears and double down. Every time progressives get a reality check, they don't realize that what they have been doing is foolish and doomed to fail for obvious reasons of the laws of physics, biology, economics, or human nature. They double down, and they double down hard, because their self-esteem is on the line.
Progressives would rather live in a world where all of the above is really happening and we are all perpetually minutes away from the end of the world, just so they can take another hit off of the crack pipe of moral indignation and boast about how much more virtuous, responsible and caring they are then the rest of us alt-right crypto-Nazis.
Are you afraid you might be a coward? Join us in pretending to believe this lie and you can pretend to feel brave. Are you afraid that your life is meaningless? Join us in pretending to believe this lie and you can pretend your life has purpose. Are you afraid you’re mired in mediocrity? Join us in pretending to believe this lie and you can pretend to feel exceptional. Are you worried that you won’t be able to forget that you’re just pretending and that all those good feelings will thus seem hollow and empty? Join us and we will pretend it’s true for you if you will pretend it’s true for us.
You can’t be doing well if it seems like an improvement to base your life and your sense of self on an insane fantasy that you know is only a fantasy. To challenge that fantasy, to identify it as nothing more than fantasy, is to threaten to send them back to whatever their lives were like before they latched onto this desperate alternative. Its like giving a shot of Narcan to an addict, and they don't like having their good feelings threatened. So they double down to avoid the nasty withdrawal symptoms.
No one is better at deceiving you than you.
It's Washington. I would be more surprised if they didn't find any drugs.
Who fact checks the fact checkers?
And after they release their rage and reconnect with their emotions, they go back on social media to consoom more ragebait and let their peers manage their emotions for them.
When you spend all of your time marinating in fear, outrage and resentment, you become a fearful, angry, and resentful person.
And when we suggested that you might regret your decisions ten years ago, you screamed bigotry and transphobia. No refunds.
