“Issues”

“Kill the occasional whore to let the other whores know who is in charge.” – the Republican strategy on “health care.”

“Kill the occasional n***** to let the other n*****s know who is in charge.” – the Republican strategy on “law enforcement.”

Every Republican “issue” is a means for downgrading one segment of society. The rubes (i.e., those who aren’t fabulously wealthy white Anglo-Saxon protestant straight men) who buy this con contribute greatly to their own oppression. The starving pauper blames his empty pockets on a starving pauper who looks a little different from himself (as directed by am impressively corpulent hand). It is the perfect con.

Well played, fascists. Well played.

Propaganda

Entertainment delivered in the manner of news has poisoned the minds of Fox News viewers to the point where utterly implausible claims are made without eliciting a hint of skepticism. And when one’s mind is full of bullshit wholeheartedly accepted as fact, a person becomes a danger to himself and others.

What is worse is that a person completely ignorant of a topic is far better at making rational decisions than one immersed in false knowledge. If the ignorant person is honest, he will deliver his findings with the important caveat that he is not knowledgeable in such matters. The propaganda consumer will, one the other hand, claim a high level of expertise when delivering his own analysis based entirely on bullshit. Of course as a Fox News viewer, this analysis will likely be delivered at an unpleasantly high volume.

Anyone who consumes information from Fox News is a willing dupe of the most successful propaganda unit since the Völkischer Beobachter of the 1930s.

Please stop.
