  • It seems to me that a lack of understanding of psychology is what gets us into this mess of arguing with maga as we do.

    I don’t think you can have a productive conversation about politics with a fox news watcher when you mention donald trump or point the blame to another GOP politician. I find it is better to get them to talk about their own ideologies, having them relate to their own observations in the world. It would be best to speak about subjects that aren’t spoken about on the “news”.

    There is an unfortunate bias that people have toward believing the first narrative they hear and it seems to me that trumpers don’t have the ability to break out of this bias for w.hatever reason. There is also an appeal to authority that comes with fox news being a news network.

    The only power that I see we have as someone arguing against this is the fact that these people are going to believe what is coming out of their own mouth over what they hear. It also seems that media similar to fox news already considers this bias and trys to get people to talk about things that cause confusing arguments and will cause the viewer to say affirmations about what ever politician, news network, or belief, and that becomes more ingrained in their identity.

    If you want them to break their relationship with the news, the best way I can see of doing it is having them discredit their news source by their own words.

    This is the jist of why I talk about politics with people the way i do. You don’t have to agree with someone you only need them talking about things that are based in their reality and not misinformation.












  • What gives it away?

    Edit: I looked him up and most of the images the generates still look like absolute shit. The images in this post have a very inconsistent art style. It looks like one of those generations where it very obviously copied an existing art piece and made minor changes. It is a shame we live in a world were plagiarism is accepted simply because machines and big corpo did it and gaslit people into thinking it is something new. The biggest part that tears me up about all this is that you can’t even find the original works that the image was generated from.



  • The difference between truth and lies doesn’t matter, it is all in the way people behave. Our culture is being manipulated by techniques that cannot be communicated to the masses because of strawmen put up in the media. The people who spread misinformation and propaganda know how it works better than you do and you are falling for their traps regardless of whether or not you believe it. The vast majority of people believe they aren’t sheep no matter how obviously they are. Weaknesses in people’s psychology are propagated and abused and this has happened for all of recorded history. We are led by herd mentality, people don’t have to willingly do anything as long as they see other people doing the same thing.

    But that’s just speculation and cannot be proven by science, lol.
