That doesn’t change the statement dumb ass. Denying someone their rights on the basis you’ve laid out doesn’t improve anything. Just shows you’re an asshole too.

121·1 year agoThey’re the best States. Nobody sues like these States. They’ve got the best lawyers, and it’s going to be a great case. A case like you would not believe. In fact I think the courts should just give up right now and let these States win the case. Everyone’s saying the judge should just decide the case, let them win, and walk away. That’s how good these States are.

politics @lemmy.world•ICE Is Stockpiling Warheads and Chemical Weapons
12·1 year agoEven just this conversation is something of a proof. You kept hitting me with that “proof” that ICE’s funding is being raised as if would “convince” me of something. You know, being a good debunker trying to realign your “opponents” viewpoint. Correct their values… Where as I wasn’t putting half as much effort into my approach.
Just writing my pro-propaganda poerty. Because poetry, art, humor, propaganda is an art form. Science, logic, rationality, skepticism, debunking - they’re a science, it’s more effort. Take more work. The mindset is more draining. It’s subject to more burnout and isolation.
It’s a case study. Meanwhile the upvotes for this post don’t go away. Nor do the people who didn’t see your correction, who just saw the headline and continued on their way (which I suspect is most reddit/lemmy style users, they’re doom scrolling).
Now apply this to a whole system of posting accross platforms like the alt-right does …and a little debunking can’t really make a dent in the overall effect.
It’s a tool the left can’t afford to avoid. It’s best seen and done as an art, as comedy, with humour, gloss, and pizazz, like Trump does it. That’s what works. Everything’s a commercial. An elevator pitch.
I’ve been a debunker. It only works in a rational society, and only untill the forces of irrationality emmerge again out of emotional need. Propaganda deals with the emotions because people aren’t rational.
It’s a case study.
