If that's some kind of secret after three years, I just ain't doing my job.
Again --- read my posts. It's all there. Of course I loathe sleazeballs.
Not really, you have shown no such loathing for the Clintons or Obama.
Not of that type, again you are correct sir. It's fair to say with the possible exception of the New York Wankees and the Dullass Cowgirls, I have no such loathing for anybody. And all for exactly the same reasons.
Do I have to post post 154 yet again? Can't you just read it the first time?
Bleh, that's just the shit that the CFR corporate media tell you.
If you believe that the corporate media tell you what reality is, then you are a sucker. All the major networks and national paper LIE TO YOU ABOUT EVERYTHING.
Once AGAIN you are correct on that last sentence. This is, what, three times in a row now? Don't make a habit of it.
However it's got zero to do with my position, and I'll show you why. Continue.
I really don't care what your perception of Trump or Clinton is, it is only what the corporate and political elites want you to believe of them, they are the image makers.
Obviously you do, since you just brought them up, including inserting people into the topic who weren't there. I don't need "images", K? I worked in media for decades, I take lessons on how it works from no one -- I
give them.
None of that is necessary here though. I've got Rump's tweets. Rump's speeches. Rump's own words and whining and posturing and petulant eye-rolling and gyrating and talking about "I alone can fix it" and "greatest (whatever) President God ever created" and "rapists" and "very fine people" and "blood coming out of her wherever" and "I think you'd have riots" and "although the second Amendment people, maybe there is" and "beat the crap out of 'im" and "ban Muslims" and "bleeding badly from a facelift" and walking out on stage looking like Alfred ******* Hitchcock and "I could shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue" and "knock the hell" and "thousands dancing on rooftops" and gyrating to mock a reporter's congenital disability when that reporter wouldn't lie for him about events that never happened, and "more electoral votes than anybody since Reagan" and "got more done than anybody since Truman" and "fire the sumbitches" and "when I say 'would' I mean 'wouldn't'" --- I mean
COME ON dood. This is all complete
insult to human intelligence.
These are all straight from the orange mouth. UNfiltered. THAT is my source. You don't need to analyze "shit" to know that it's shit, so I don't need a "filter", corporate or otherwise.
And this goes right back, for a ready comparative example, to your allusion to "there goes the racist narrative". Which I didn't comment on but now I will.
Is Donald Rump a racist? I have no idea. Nobody does. Actually nobody knows anything about his politics, which change with the wind. Because you can't trust a god damned thing he says.
Is he a race
baiter? Absolutely, without any question, but that's not the same thing as "racist". That's simple psycho-manipulation and as such,
far worse. If you've got a guy in a pointed white hat railing against (fill in ethnic slur here) ----
at least you know where he stands, even if where he stands is abhorrent. With a psycho manipulator you know
NOTHING. If you're gullible enough, you don't even know he's playing you like a three-dollar banjo to do his dirty work that he can then disavow ----
again, like everything else above,
entirely for the personal gain of Numero Uno.
So --- there that is, isn't it.
If you have ever bothered to read Bernays or Chomsky you would know that it is all manufactured. So whatever.
I know all about Bernays. Scary guy for what he was able to do. Again --- psycho-manipulation. But while it would be desirable for more to be aware of the methods he came up with to apply to present dynamics, Edward Bernays is not the topic here either.
It is far easier for them to convince you of a lie then it is for me to convince you that you have been lied to about everything.
One need look no further than so-called "social media" in 2016 for a ready example of this. Two of my favourites were the one on how Hillary Clinton didn't show up at a rally here in NC and was replaced by a hologram, and how three million Amish were mobilizing to vote for Rump. BOTH were posted as threads on this board by gullibles who believed them. Simply because they
wanted them to be true. Just like last week's fake story about "George Lopez peed on Rump's sidewalk star" -- they
wanted it to be true so it
became "true".
The government schools and corporate media are far worse than these pre-selected candidates they give us no choice about. If the public mind is manipulated, then of course they can give us shit candidates and nothing ever changes.
And folks will just believe and buy what they are selling.
How To Fight The Establishment Propaganda Machine And Win
again --- NONE of this applies here. It's not my game, except to expose it, as I've been doing on this board especially in the Media forum, since Day One. Including just today. We have no area of disagreement on this point. And you can read my own rants on the "government schooling" thing in a thread that I'll link momentarily (Edit --
here, try this)
But again, you're shifting what the topic is, to what it isn't. You want to shift to "what they're selling" to take the spotlight off "what
HE's selling".
*NONE* of this is on the point of personal character, derived
directly from that character and how he chooses --- voluntarily --- to present himself. And for that choice I have nothing but contempt, because that's all that is possible.
