Facts are delusional? How does that work? Remember when I posted this? Here are five basic rules of PROPAGANDA, courtesy of Norman Davies in his extraordinary book "Europe: A History": * The rule of simplification: reducing all data to a simple confrontation between 'Good and Bad', 'Friend and Foe'. * The rule of disfiguration: discrediting the opposition by crude smears and parodies. * The rule of transfusion: manipulating the consensus values of the target audience for one's own ends. * The rule of unanimity: presenting one's viewpoint as if it were the unanimous opinion of all right-thinking people: draining the doubting individual into agreement by the appeal of star-performers, by social pressure, and by 'psychological contagion'. * The rule of orchestration: endlessly repeating the same messages in different variations and combinations. You are an ardent practitioner of this, despite you attempt to claim that I do this. For example... "* The rule of simplification: reducing all data to a simple confrontation between 'Good and Bad', 'Friend and Foe'." You do this with you claims that I am a lying psycho while you are the honest and honorable one. "* The rule of disfiguration: discrediting the opposition by crude smears and parodies." This is all you do. Just look at the post I am responding to. "* The rule of transfusion: manipulating the consensus values of the target audience for one's own ends." Well, this one is arguable. Although you certainly try to manipulate. "* The rule of unanimity: presenting one's viewpoint as if it were the unanimous opinion of all right-thinking people: draining the doubting individual into agreement by the appeal of star-performers, by social pressure, and by 'psychological contagion'." Bingo. Your claims of "all the others" who agree with you baseless smears of me. And lastly "* The rule of orchestration: endlessly repeating the same messages in different variations and combinations." Like the other day when you thought you had a killer post and kept repeating it dozens of times. Except for that once where you failed at it. And promptly accused me of modifying it and then blaming me for it when you discovered you were full of shit.
