AesopFan — to reverse Dan Rather, it’s “Accurate, but false.”

[…] For many years I have noticed that I could fisk almost every article written, even those that are su… and point out the multiple and repeated elements of such guidance. It starts with the decision as to what news to cover and what to ignore. It goes on to the headlines (“Republicans Pounce,” anyone?) and involves the placement of each fact, the emphasis it’s given, adjectives and verb and noun choice (“undocumented”), phrases such as “with no evidence” used for assertions by the right and not the left, the often-bogus “fact-checking” page, and so much more.

Doc Zero accurately states what a lot of us have intuited about the current use of the media as a propaganda arm of the Left.
Add this to the lexicon along with “Wrongthink” which is related but not identical.
Although, in the world of reality, Wrongthinkers clearly believe Badfacts.

The latest addition to the lexicon of totalitarianism is “Badfact.”

A Badfact is objectively true, but it damages the political narratives of the ruling elite, so everyone must be prevented from thinking about it. The accuracy of the Badfact is never seriously challenged.

The most common technique for suppressing Badfacts is the “mostly false” factcheck, which is based not on disputing the accuracy of the Badfact, but on insisting that some mystical “context” is needed to understand the “greater truth” surrounding it.

“Unlike Obama I think the Great Arc of history bends in the direction of the second law of thermodynamic – ie toward entropy which in political terms is equivalent to corruption” – Lorenz

Indeed.

My theological position is that God is the only force in the universe which can stop, and reverse, Entropy: Order against Chaos is Light against Darkness is Good against Evil.

Thing is, they’re NOT our betters. Literally. They, and those who support them, confuse their immense wealth and entrepreneurial spirit for both general intelligence as well as political and policy savvy. Sure, Mark Zuckerburg is a super smart guy, but his fortune is made on a social media platform originally conceived of for getting laid. You can’t say anything more for Dorsey or Bezos, or any of them. Elon Musk will outright admit it. He got rich creating Paypal, and has parlayed that fortune into some highly technical industries, but he doesn’t know jack about them, he relies on his team.

The clearest example of this is Bill Gates. The man made a fortune buying someone else’s product and leveraging it into a giant monopoly. He doesn’t have any specific knowledge about much of anything. And yet, he thinks he should be dictating worldwide health care policy. Good lord.

These people have more in common with the clueless celebrities that their platforms enable than anyone else. Their opinions should be completely ignored.

“Suggestions in the comments here for what to do at this point would be appreciated.” neo

At this point, the only productive action that can be taken is to vote and pray.

If Trump wins in a landslide, events will proceed in a predictable manner.

If it’s a close election, it may not be resolved until sometime in January.

If the Left manages to steal the election, then make no mistake, 1984 will have arrived.

@AesopFan I strongly prefer the continuation of the Republic and have cast my vote in accordance with that conviction, but recognise we are approaching a fork in the road and must choose one or the other as individuals but collectively follow the fork that prevails electorally. As a great Yogi said, “If you come to a fork in the road, take it!” No matter which one we take about half the country is going to be verrry upset. I’m pretty sure the outcomes will be different depending on the result, but it is pretty uncertain how thing will work out in the longer term. Unlike Obama I think the Great Arc of history bends in the direction of the second law of thermodynamic – ie toward entropy which in political terms is equivalent to corruption. Now where is my crack pipe and my dominatrix.

Methinks we are sorely in need of another “No Malarkey” tour.

First though, should it be established that Biden and the Democrats support and encourage Antifa (that splendid “idea”) BECAUSE it is just ANOTHER WAY to give whites (l.c. “w”) the right to beat up Blacks (u.c. “b”)—as long as the latter “ain’t Black” (that is, according to the Democratic Party’s current authorized definition of “Black”).
E.g.,
https://soundcloud.com/rttv/wayne-dypree-show-antifa-member-stabs-black-trump-supporter-trump-ramps-up-for-2020-election
https://www.foxla.com/news/man-arrested-for-sucker-punch-of-black-trump-supporter-at-laguna-beach-rally
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/jul/27/blake-hampe-43-charged-with-stabbing-black-trump-s/
etc.

So that, mark it well, the Biden campaign seems to have endorsed the existence of what is, in essence, two categories of racial identity:
– Biden/Democratic Party supporter
– Trump supporter

…which certainly makes things a whole lot “easier”.

…which might, perhaps, be considered (by some wascally pedants) somewhat akin to the notion (Bari Weiss, take note) that there is a certain category of Jews that should be banned from the synagogues….:

Having said all this, where does it say in the Constitution that crack heads should be banned from visiting the White House?

Yep, we need another “No Malarkey” tour. Fast.
