I don't typically like them either, but read so I know who the antisemites are.
Well. More and more it seems to be an ever-changing, arbitrary term that gets thrown around for cheap social and political leverage, particularly in social media settings as a matter of activism to encourage others to just hurry up and pick a side and to adopt arbitrary opinions rather than t thnk things through all the way. Much the same as terms like conservative and liberal and patriot are so arbitrarily invoked. Typical divide & conquer stuff. In my view anyway.
But, to be fair, there are also valid claims. Though they are far, far fewer than any arbitrary claims.
I think the only reason I read through this section is to observe the methods/strategies of interaction between Individuals and groups of Individuals, both foreign and domestic and ultimately what makes its way to the maude staff as well as how and through whom it makes its way to them.
There's a lot to say about how and why interactions proceed in the manner in which they do in this particular section. I routinely observe manipulatiion and deceit in a manner in which I can only quantify as a strategic methodology invoked for the purpose of using/propagandizing other people as a means to an end. Machiavellian type strategy, patently.
Basically, it just ain't no darned good without an audience. If that makes sense.
So, yeah. People watching is interesting, and sometimes entertaining. Especially when people try to be clever but are still as transparent as glass to the informed observer.
Honestly, I don't really care what they do over there. It's none of my business. And I'd like to keep it that way, but what we have, and what we have had going on is that we have the NGOs importing an exhibitionist sort of the same bumblefuckery that's going on over there into our communities, both virtual and real-world over here in America, in what seems to be for political purposes alone and to try to influence/change traditional 1776 Americanism and the traditional American philosophy of governance/role of government. Organized fear porn, for lack of a better term. Though, interestingly, nobody ever mentions those NGAs who organize, fund and import the sideshow at all. That's interesting to me. And of course, I do not approve of being forced to fund the continuation of what's going on over there at the barrel of my own government's gun.
But that's probably all I have to say about that.
Anyway. I just continue to observe. Once in a while I might chime in, but it will pretty much always be from a perspective that is more germane to American prosperity. Or whenever what I'm reading is clearly being invoked in a manner so as to encourage our own government to usurp our civil liberties and influence our laws as well as to encourage the casual passer-by to adopt the notion that it should usurp them.
