Comment on The White House App’s Propaganda Is The Least Alarming Thing About It
Powderhorn@beehaw.org 1 week agoThis is so poorly formatted, it’s difficult to know where to start. As a liberal, I’m apparently “kinda dome.” I in no way resemble half a sphere.
The Kingdome was a sports arena in Seattle that was demolished while I was in college there … the hed was “Kingdome fall down, go boom” as the strip story. I was not yet in any position of power and winced at this absurd hed.
If you want to get involved in leftist circles, this is not the way to do it. Speaking in absolutes and cliche sounds more like an LLM than activism, except ChatGPT would have done a better job.

Liberals are not the left. Liberalism is a right wing position. Protesting is for goverments that listen. The USA is a brutal imperialist empire in decline hidden in plain sight. We are commiting a genocide via both parties. A holocaust. Sorry to disappoint you, good luck with those strongly worded letters. I don’t need your syntax. We have the death penalty and like the worlds highest prision population. Oh excuse me the 3rd according to a random website so I guess thats a good thing. So its the guns huh? I mean they don’t really help. Why are the kids in this country so disurbed? The Right wing gets whats promised but the “Left” is pacified by optics and nice words via Ratchet effect. Liberal and conservative, hard positions on same level of irrelevance. pfffft liberalism…You wouldn’t need regulation if billionares could get the death penalty for commiting crimes… I mean that type of ambition wouldn’t exist. I mean how could you believe in such nonsense. Did you ever just once step outside of the box? You went to college… What did you learn? The ultra right, (not you the normie right liberals) is going to Co-op liberals anti-war stance… wait a second your party is pro war. Oh wait maybe they are not… they always talking out of both sides of their mouth. Like a zipper they have you all figured out. They know how to push your buttons and move you two groups like a herd. I personaly think If you experianced others pain, had more experiances or spent less time fitting in you might not see yourself as a liberal. There might not be a process even for you to express those ideas except to expose youself on the interweb or the streets away from those that make decisions for you with a heaping pile of goons that would fire projectiles at you… It is always about managing perception and don’t get me started about Ukraine. Both wars are connected and it is just the capitalist thieving. Order out of chaos. They always win even if they lose. Now put this in your pocket and look at it later.
The arts of the sophists were known as sophistry and gained a negative reputation as arbitrary, inauthentic, or deceptive styles of reasoning, beginning with the notable philosophers of Classical Athens who criticized sophists for valuing artistic speech or cleverness in debate over a genuine pursuit of truth and knowledge.[4] Thus, in modern usage, sophism, sophist, and sophistry are used disparagingly. Sophistry, or a sophism, is a fallacious argument, especially one used deliberately to deceive.[5][6] Today, a sophist is a person who reasons with clever but deceptive or intellectually dishonest arguments.[7][8]
