Don't bother- it is! I wrote a book review for one of my professors about how the ICJ is just a front for US hegemony. I said it was from a Marxist perspective and he corrected it- neo- functionalist!
How do you like my other term... sheepthink???
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
sheepthink, groupthink, herdthink
all convey the same bbaaahh mentality
we have to ( and I am very bad at this)keep in mind that we are in a propaganda war and should try to avoid insulting people we are trying to persuade. I kind of cringe when I hear fols that are farther to the Right than I am use the word sheeple...even if the language and tone I sometimes use has the same effect
otoh, Trump has shown the value of showing a combative posture as well
It's only a propaganda war if both sides use propaganda... I use the truth to make people think. Believe it or not- the truth is NOT subjective!
propaqganda does not mean lying.
lying can be propaganda, yes.
information war is about controlling information...getting truth out there...sometimes in easy to swallow spoonfuls of pablum...is propaganda
Well Buddy, we'll play "good cop- bad cop"... While you're pablumizing them, I'll sneak up behind them and whack them with a 2X4!
ROFL!!
and demonstrating that informationwar is just a spot on the spectrum of conflict!!!
A very wise man once said... "Truth is where you find it." (and you can quote me on that)
truth can be found in the imprint of a 2x4...or as I've heard before, a clue x four
"Diplomacy is the art of saying 'Nice doggie' until you can find a rock."
Or in the tag-team version, "until your friend finds a 2x4" :-)
I like "a liberal is somebody who will piss in your pants pocket while patting you on the back." I wish I knew who said it- sounds a bit like PJ O'Rourke
the reason the truth is NOT subjective is because it's the product of an exegetic standard
