This rhetoric is a semantic representation of the extreme cognitive dissonance and mental illness plaguing society.
We have been pigeonholed and divided into fake "factions."
This rhetoric is meant to continue the fracturing and "othering" of society.
By reiterating that you're not part of some amorphous "group" of "others", even IF you're weakly attempting a red pill, you're playing PRECISELY into the divide and conquer mentality of the so-called "elite."
"I'm not a conspiracy theorist but..."
Fuck off.
"I'm not anti-vax but..."
FUCK OFF.
I don't give a FUCK what you're NOT. I care about what you ARE.
Stop distancing yourself from ideas that frighten you. You can express yourself without being lumped into a category of "unmentionables."
If you're worried that other people might call you a conspiracy theorist or an anti-vaxxer, you're doing it wrong.
These are the people who would happily murder you and your family for the "greater good."
Do NOT kowtow to their deranged psychosis.
State your ideas or theories WITHOUT offering these pathetic platitudes.
Believe in yourself and never be afraid to ask questions and suggest theories.
Diplomacy goes a long way....If I didnt preface things the way I did....When I get to the part where everyone dies in 2025...they would think I was a biggot...I wouldnt want that shit
"I'm not an anti-vaxxer but mRNA therapy isn't a vaccine."
"I'm not a Trump supporter but the Democrats are off the rails and must be stopped."
Sorry, I'm part of the problem.
You were literally brainwashed by media propaganda to instantly associate certain ideas with the strawmen they manufactured for you. Such that your brain is forced to distance itself somehow before it will even entertain said ideas. There's also a social acceptance factor that plays into this, depending on how herd-minded you are.
Don't be sorry, just be better.
He's trying to convince someone and not have them dismiss off the bat for being a Trump supporter or an anti-vaxxer. Understanding the audience and their strawmen isn't the same as being brainwashed and believing them. It's actually good communication.
"Let's repeat and normalize media buzzwords. It's actually good communication!"
Go back to fucking reddit
You can choose to be a useless tool or be strategic. I see what you've chosen. Others can choose better.
I'm not a tool, I'm a regular person speaking openly.
I don't know who your "audience" is, and if your username is any indication I honestly don't give a shit. Like I said, maybe go back to reddit? Have fun "strategically" appeasing the bots over there.
But the time for platitudes and games is over. We have already won. The truth stands on its own merit - it always has.
No, I am not as I stated. but you are a faggot, and a giant one for an ozzy. Obviously you have nothing of value to add here, so why aren't you protesting with the men?
Sure your way will work if you dont want people to listen,ohh wait that's what you want.reddits over there.
you're the third little piggy to get butthurt over my comment. Did you also feel "personally attacked"?
there's no need. Just be better.
Mad agreement. I am vaxed against smallpox. Never taken the flu or Covid vax as the risk from the shot is greater than the threat it addresses. Pick your poisons. Water is a poison in sufficient dosages.
In this society, we're put into a meat grinder that separates us whether we like it or not. Division is their answer to regulate, tag, track.. it is the diseased society, the psychological trauma mind control meat grinder we have no choice to be put into. You're either are a Democrat or a Republican, a this or that.. so that we are shuffled into separation so that we cannot fight for each other when we enter their slaughter houses. The only way we escape this is to not label each other, accept each other's differences.. but the powerful CIA propaganda machine has been too successful for the majority of the cattle, they continually inflict the trauma to disassociate us from humanity and into individual categories of people. We need god, we need out of the system, we need to put ourselves in the way of the gears and the actual machine before we can have any change and any chance of survival.
Right on Axol. At its most basic form, it's a logical fallacy. It suggests that if you're part of a certain group, you're inherently wrong, or if you're part of the other group, you're inherently right. Then comes the virtue signaling "I'm not___, but..." which placates to this lie, this fallacy.
Ideas stand or fail on their own, they have no connection to who believes or disbelieves them. Belief is not a necessary requirement for truth, nor is the inverse. If a Nazi believes 2+2=4 it doesn't make it wrong. If a communist believes real communism has never been tried it doesn't make them right. If a globalist believes MAPs deserve to live it doesn't make them right either.
We are literally in a war of good/truth/logic versus evil/lies/illogic.
This is a powerful rhetorical tool if used correctly.
You see this is a great way to convince a normie of a hot button issue. Lay out the best evidence while distancing yourself from it. The typical response is to attack you for holding the position, but if you don't hold it they are forced to deal with the evidence.
If fact this sort of thing is really the only way to engage in certain topics because normies and lefties have conditioned themselves to only respond with ad hominem.
When inane beliefs go completely unchallenged and combine with absolute power, the Dark Ages is all but an inevitable.
The first one retained for 5 Centuries.
The second one retained for 1 century.
This one would retain for a decade, with equal destructive force.
Even 3 months of Dark Ages would be too much. Let's make it a 0.
It can and will happen anywhere and everywhere.
People use this language to talk to those who still don't understand what's going on. It's called testing the water.
Right. You drunk bro? Because if so, you are not a very clear headed drinker.
I work for a living. I can not afford to lose my job. I need to test the waters before I tell a guy the mRNA therapy will kill his wife and children. I'm not just going to tell every person I meet, China has secret bases in the US, or Hillary Clinton is involved in humans trafficking.
So true. People are so used to groups and labels that they can no longer distinguish themselves anymore.
For example, I believe in God but I don't consider myself a christian because these people take this one black book with a cross on it quite literally... They cannot see that the God of the Old Testement killed children, while the God of the New Testement wants you to pray for your enemies... They think it's the same one...
I'm not an idiot, but...
Agree wholeheartedly with this. You need to lead by example and offering outs at the beginning is weakening the whole argument.
I appreciate your consistency over the years and have typically been some of my favorite forum posters over the years. Keep up the good service!
They are so worried about being accepted / fitting in, because of the risk to being put aside.
They need to grow a pair and affirm what they are thinking.
100%
Have to agree. Don't be a limp dick
👍
To this point, rename the site header 'conspiracytruth' or something
Sometimes you have to ease the normies in...
Can we apply this same logic of grouping people to when you refer to "liberals" "libs" "dems" "democrat". Annoys me to no end. No group is a monolith and it reduces you to tribal non logical conclusions. Same goes for everyone on the other side if the spectrum with "conservative" or "Trumpers". I agree with your message but most of this board is not consistent with the logic because they are blinded by partisanship.
I'm not a vaxxer but...the jab is bad.
You discuss being pigeonholed into "fake factions" and lament the "othering" of society in the same breath as claiming "they" will murder your entire family.
But I actually get death threats against me and my family.
Hey @axolotl_peyotl ..
.. is there any way to PM you? I would like to get your opinion on something interesting. I think you would find it interesting too.
Here is my Reddit so you can check me out - https://www.reddit.com/user/Tychonaut/
I'm not super netSec savvy so tell me how you feel confident chatting.
Or if not interested, just say so.
yes, there's a PM function here! I'll send you a msg.
Okay? You’re still practicing the opposite of what you’re preaching.
