Again, people of a certain politicial group always seem to immediately discount what anyone else says who is not from their political group. This has been happening over the last 50 years that I’ve witnessed, so that covers a few different generations, therefore it’s no accident. IMO this shows how brainwashed and programmed the k-12 government ‘education’ system has been to tens of millions of children. College/universities are the finishing school of the intolerant cultural warriors.
Herbert marcuse, one of the fathers of marxist thought in the US was the one who said that there needs to be “repressive tolerance” of all thought/information not of their position. This is how the leftists justify their silencing of others not them. Back in the 70s-80s, it was “we don’t need to let them speak here because they have their mainstream media” justification of censorship on campuses/schools. As these marxists have gotten more and more power, they have come out in their blatant censorship, bullying, threatening and even assaulting of people, businesses and groups who have a worldview different than what they put forth as “the truth”.
This is why so many democrats/leftists can only discount what someone else says, yet know next to nothing about the actual nuts and bolts, even common sense answers to the issues they choose to support. The questions I put up earlier were excellent examples of this. They can only discount and name call…then threaten and censor as they have no other options. Look up how cults work, really, do it. The mechanics of them behavior and thought punishment and reinforcement and you will see the liberal progressives and now, the democrat party. They know little to nothing but are very adamant in their reactions to someone not of their group. That is programming. They even don’t have any intellectual curiosity to look into things. Cults punish that. They also punish and shun people who question their group and/or want to leave the group.
I put forth very simple questions that they never answer. What’s a trip is I’d love to know how they arrange it in their head where they just ignore those and continue their war march. How do they rationalize it? Or are they too busy demanding censorship of me/those that they can repress their intellect as a means of protection, self defense?
If you are a scientist, most of your money comes from govt. You don’t have a POV/agenda the govt also has, you won’t get funding. (also see ‘cancel culture’ now that it’s in the open).
If whatever they are putting forth is real…it should be able to stand up to scrutiny, analysis, especially if it’s a hard science. But more and more of the agenda is enforced as “settled science”. Again, programming, censorship, brainwashing.
There were no “97% of scientists”. That was a lie, just like the ‘hockeystick’ graph.
If opening our southern borders is good for this nation and is what the american people want, congress should be able to pass that law in the light of day and freely discuss these benefits to us. But it’s not, so they don’t.
If the elections of 2020 were not fraudulent, a forensic analysis of the voting machines and methods should be welcomed so people can be shown to be wrong when they doubt it.
If politicians/groups want to reduce the amount of crimes that people do using a firearm, then they should put out the data of who are doing these crimes and what can be done to stop/reduce it. But they don’t. They can’t as that’s not their agenda.
People should look up the word ‘epistomology’ and then think about they themselves when they interact with others. Do they think before responding? Where do they get their information from? Are they exposed to other POVs?
Look up Sharyll Attkisson and watch some of her presentations. She’s a journalist. A real one.
How Real Is Fake News?
