46. Using propaganda techniques for one thing.
|
Recognizing Propaganda Techniques and Errors of Faulty Logic
Propaganda and Debating Techniques The main similarity between Republican and Third Way conservative trolls. IMO, is that they both support laissez faire capitalism. They might not express this directly, but sometimes it's what someone never says that reveals their agenda. But this does not mean Third Way/Republican trolls won't bald faced lie about their real beliefs if it becomes necessary. The global power of the financial centers is so great, that they can afford not to worry about the political tendency of those who hold power in a nation, if the economic program (in other words, the role that nation has in the global economic megaprogram) remains unaltered. The financial disciplines impose themselves upon the different colors of the world political spectrum in regards to the government of any nation. The great world power can tolerate a leftist government in any part of the world, as long as the government does not take measures that go against the needs of the world financial centers. But in no way will it tolerate that an alternative economic, political, and social organization consolidate. For the megapolitics, the national politics are dwarfed and submit to the dictates of the financial centers....
http://flag.blackened.net/revolt/mexico/ezln/1997/jigsaw.html Corporatists will slowly try to move the Democratic party to the right, knowing that naive Dems won't even notice how far right we've moved. "Democrats moving to the middle is a double disaster that alienates the party's progressive base while simultaneously sending a message to swing voters that the other side is where the good ideas are.' It unconsciously locks in the notion that the other side's positions are worth moving toward, while your side's positions are the ones to move away from. Plus every time you move to the center, the right just moves further to the right." ~ George Lakoff
