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.
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.
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.
