“Once a government resorts to terror against its own population to get what it wants, it must keep using terror against its own population to get what it wants. A government that terrorizes its own people can never stop. If such a government ever lets the fear subside and rational thought return to the populace, that government is finished.”
- Michael Rivero

ps - Here's the full quote: Most people prefer to believe their leaders are just and fair even in the face of evidence to the contrary, because once a citizen acknowledges that the government under which they live is lying and corrupt, the citizen has to choose what he or she will do about it. To take action in the face of a corrupt government entails risks of harm to life and loved ones. To choose to do nothing is to surrender one's self-image of standing for principles. Most people do not have the courage to face that choice. Hence, most propaganda is not designed to fool the critical thinker but only to give moral cowards an excuse not to think at all.

Bet ya dollars to donuts he's a MAGAman Trumper.

Easy targets.

Les Carpenter said...

He describes the MAGA'ts absolutlely perfectly in opening abbreviated paragraph FJ. Whether intentional or not i have no idea nor could i care less

Here's a piece of propaganda the moral cowards refuse to let go of: "Trump won the 2020 election!"

The moral cowards of the GOP (the Freedom Caucus and EVERY TRUMP SUPPORTER) refuse to see what is in front of their noses.

Here's a piece of propaganda the moral cowards refuse to let go of "2020 was the most secure election in US history".

Which totally explains the Trumper's reactions.

Les Carpenter said...

Well Shaw, FJ certainly proves that it is indeed true that you can lead a horse to water but you're powerless to make it drink.

Holds true for some humans as well. When one is heavily invested in ego the reification of their beliefs makes it impossble to see reality.

Dave Miller said...

FJ... again, that is exactly the conclusion of the Trump Amin office of cyber security and the NSA.

Are we to believe that the Trump Admin, made up of the "best people" is lying to us?

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

Validate your underlying premise of election integrity, Les, and I will grant you the argument, that Trump lost. But since you won't (and can't), here we sit,

Les Carpenter said...

Lie to yourself all you want fj. Your over blown ego sense of non reality is huge. You're nothing but negative energy so do not address me again. You will be ignored..

Les Carpenter said...

PS fj, you cnnot validate the tRump MAGA delusions and the facts i subscribe to relative to 2020 have been veified numerous times. By sources far more credible than tRump and you.

Dave Miller said...

-FJ continues to ask about the 2020 election. I think what I have heard from conservatives is this...

"You [liberals, deep staters] changed the system illegally during the Covid-19 pandemic."

Therefore, the election was not valid, because the rules were not followed.

But I've had to work pretty hard to get there amid all the talk of fraud and election stealing. The above argument might have had some merit if it had not been mixed with allegations of suitcases of votes showing up late, space lasers and foreign governments controlling voting machines and thousands of dead people voting.

All of which have been conclusively been proven false time and time again.

Not one single credible conservative organization has supported those claims and in fact the people who made those accusations, when it counted, in court, recanted and admitted they had no evidence of their claims.

No one, absolutely no one, can cite any evidence of mass numbers of people who are not citizens of America voting in the 2020 election.

That is a stubborn, not alternative or Lisa's false, fact that people like -FJ cannot directly rebut.

And yet they cling to it.

Why?

Shaw Kenawe said...

Can -FJ answer that?

Or will he continue to claim the 2020 election was fraudulent?

Thersites said...

...because the Deep State subsequently scrubbed the evidence off the internet.

Acta non verba.

...because the Deep State subsequently scrubbed the evidence off the internet.

Yeah. Right.

Posted with no evidence whatsoever. We're just supposed to believe Thersites' conspiracy theories without evidence, except "DEEP STATE."


Les Carpenter said...

There is... ZERO EVIDENCE... suppoting the fascist right's allegations. And the conspiracists KNOW IT.

Oy Vey!?

Joe Conservative said...

ps - You scrub my comments here, too. What does THAT tell you?

Dave Miller said...

Why am I not surprised at Thersites...

Instead of offering up proof, he throws out the dodge that it's been "scrubbed from the internet."

Really Ther? That's it? The proof was on the internet and no one, literally no one in the United States who previously saw it, thought it was important enough to download? Not a single one of you, convinced that what you were looking at in documents and videos was vitally important to the survival of the United States of America, was smart enough to download it?

Not a one of the millions of you?

Even Rudy did better than that, until he was forced to admit in open court that he had no evidence of fraud and that those challenging the election were not advocating fraud.

Face it, more than 60 courts, every single Sec of State in the nation, every single governor in the nation, the Trump Administration, the Trump DOJ and the trump led NSA, the Heritage Foundation and more all agree... there was not enough fraud anywhere in our great nation to have changed the results of the 2020 elections.

And it's not because the World Wide Web has been scrubbed by Google. It's because Trump lost.

Omnes insanitis...

Listen up, Joe C., and all of your other aliases, if I don't like your comment, I'm under no obligation to post it. Your favorite little Trump worshipper over at Geeez doesn't allow any contrary comments on her blog, which you frequent. She scrubs anyone who doesn't agree with her FAUX NOOZ lies.

My blog; my rules. What does it tell me? That I use the same discretion as she does, but somehow you don't like it when I practice discretionary posting of comments.

What does that tell you?

skudrunner said...

I too have noticed that my exceptional posts never see ink. None of my comments referenced the the prince so I guess you are taking the same protectionism with saint joey.

Les Carpenter said...

Exceptional posts? By whose definition? Yours?
