Yeah....considering the history of Apple. I'm not sure they're exactly a bastion of so called 'American Values'....or maybe they are considering American History.

PS: I suggest reading Fire in the Valley

Kisses. 😘

Also, sorry you suck so very badly at Googling shit. While I erroneously added the word "News" to the book title (mea culpa), the Google search of the book with "news" in the title yielded this as like the third result.

"This didn't come out of nowhere.

This trend went pretty mainstream among conservatives ten or fifteen years ago.

Nixon went from pariah to great president who made a single mistake.

Vietnam went from a bad idea and a huge clusterfuck to a just and righteous war that the damn democrats deliberately sabotaged.

Japanese internment during wwii went from a horrible injustice to a perfectly reasonable precaution. Michelle Malkin even wrote a book about it in 2004.

And I'm sure there are lots of other examples I'm forgetting.

The Trumpkins didn't start all this, but it's unsurprising that they'd latch on to it. Particularly Nixon.

you cant control culture? are you serious? you just said the social science equivalent of "climate change aint real". also, I just read your name and lost all desire to argue with you. I am going to leave you with some introductory reading material, do with it as you will. And if you actually have a wife and daughter (red pill not wirking for you?) and you care about them a bit, ask them if they have ever been catcalled, groped or molested by anyone. And then square that with their constitutional and legal rights.

Show them this documentary. And tell them you miss the people they were before the Rush and Faux News outrage machine got its paws on them.

It actually goes deeper than that. When you challenge someone's world view, it triggers mortality thoughts. We identify with things larger than ourselves partially because it means that part of us will survive on past death. That can be a religious group, a political movement, a nation, a company, a cult, etc. Someone challenging the legitimacy, or, worse, the future existence, of our larger-than-self structures results in dire existential doubt. This is experienced as a very deep anxiety.

There's a whole psychological framework that studies how we manage those existential anxieties both in the moment and then later on. Doubling down on (affirming) one's worldview is one of those ways. People in this state also get more xenophobic, more prejudiced, and less merciful to criminals, but, interestingly, not immediately. There's a delay of 2-5 minutes before that effect kicks in.

And, fun fact: The type of anxiety this produces is similar enough to other types of pain processed by the brain that Tylenol actually suppresses it (pdf).

Edit: Link to paper, details

Edit2: The Worm at the Core is the best book I've read on TMT. My favorite amateur theologian, psychologist Richard Beck, also wrote The Slavery of Death in which he attempts to incorporate TMT into Christian theology on sin, I think very successfully.

If you haven't read Democracy in Chains by Nancy MacLean, then this article is a good reason for you to do so. The US was 70%+ pro environment in the 70's.

What changed? Koch and his endorsement of James McGill Buchanan's ideology.

Which is racist, classist, and generally fucked. But; the money worked.

This is an excellent book that goes to great depth to explain the problem, how we all suffer from it, and what can be done about it. Highly recommended.

Yup. Walk across the border so you can get a job and feed your kids? Clearly you are prepared to murder and eat babies.

Those asses should read Three Felonies a Day.

No. Voter suppression is a garbage tactic for garbage people. Here:

There's a whole book of dirty tricks that democrats should pull.

Also: automatic voter registration. That's our answer.

It's called FUD and it's been working for the last half century at least. The only way to combat it is not with facts and logic, but rather with an appeal to shared values. "We're 'Muricans and we are in charge of our own destiny. I'll be damned if some Russian or Saudi Arabian fucks with OUR constitutional rights."

Terrorist:

noun
1.
a person who uses unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.

If you havent already, you should read 'A People's History Of The United States' by Howard Zinn.

That's literally true! I'll see if I can find a link about it

Edit: OK, so I couldn't find any respectable organisations reporting on it, and all the reporting I did find is basically just repeating the stuff here and here anyway. There's a more readable account here, but it's far too long.

Unfortunately the bloggers who found the story did a piss-poor job of documenting it: some of the tweets they relied on have disappeared, and apparently nobody bothered to record some livestream. So I'd consider the specific claim of $5,000 a month to be unverified. Plus, "sit-in" seems a little bit formal for what happened: near as I can tell, some protestors/organisers/activists didn't get paid, and went to this fellow's office en masse to complain. (And being young, they tweeted about it.)

Still, the moral of the story: play with snakes and you might get bit.

(It always amuses me to see people who are surprised that the shady crook they've been dealing with turns out to be a thief as well. Or when people assume that a murderer wouldn't also be a liar.)
