Jen doesn't comprehend the problem:
It's always been illiterates vs us.
Pff, reading...what are you, some kind of NERD!?
We cant even agree on what truth vs lies is, or what either of them mean. a lie is okay as long as its convenient ,truth must be hidden if it hurts us
In a world where truth is now fluid, we need to learn some Russian, just one word, a loanword "Vranyo" Literally it mean lies. but its used in the context "Im lying, you know Im lying, I know that you know Im lying, but you aren't going to do shit, and I dont care even if you did"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vranyo
Vranyo has infected western society Its how government operates, its how gangsters operate. convenientley, a lot of the governments and gangsters are now one in the same.
Nice link and info, ty
Edit essentially it's what the "fell out a window" is. Everyone knows what it actually is
Yeah, fuck them barbers!

I hate the term "pseudo-science". Call it what it is: quackery.
I was under the impression that quackery was specific to medicine.
We can't even agree on what most of these words mean, much less get the majority of people to care about whether we adhere to them. I know multiple people who think the entirety of science is wrong, and that hispanic people don't have the human right of safe housing, even when legal citizens.
I think the point here is less about actually throwing these terms around and more about the absurdity that it's basically already like this and folks ain't being honest about it
I'm quite miffed that the order of the comparisons in the second panel vary..
- Bad vs good
- Good vs bad
- Good vs bad
- Good vs bad
- Bad vs good
I think that's intentional. It's swapped in the first panel too. It appears more impartial this way.
No it doesn't
For anyone sad enough to buy anything these muppets say, Google 'cognitive priming'
It's intended to
No it isn't
edit again, cognitive priming
Live footage of you coming up with these responses
Idk man, I'm just refuting you "nuh-uh, totally opposite" logic.
"I think it's intentionally wrong so it appears more impartial"
It's sickeningly OBVIOUS that it's very much partial. It's putting "authoritarianism" and "corrupt" on the side that it's established moral things are on
You guys are dipshits, but it's no wonder with your education and national infra :D
This is just sad, I can't even be bothered to be insulted. You're wrong bro, go figure it out yourself.
"I can't even be bothered to correct you" is like barely half a degree away from "do your own research" β the mating call of the cognitively impaired.
Alternatively your reading is so bad that I didn't even consider it a possibility.
Alternatively, you know you're not saying those things in good faith.
Cognitive priming, is what this post is.
Aside from the ridiculousness of reading anything malicious in an unordered comparison list...
In 2012, a great amount of priming research was thrown into doubt as part of the replication crisis. Many of the landmark studies that found effects of priming were unable to be replicated in new trials using the same mechanisms.[10] The experimenter effect may have allowed the people running the experiments to subtly influence them to reach the desired result, and publication bias tended to mean that shocking and positive results were seen as interesting and more likely to be published than studies that failed to show any effect of priming. The result is that the efficacy of priming may have been greatly overstated in earlier literature, or have been entirely illusory.[11][12]
Also maybe we should try to stop seeing everything as a binary issue and deciding whether to put a black hat or white hat on everybody. I know oversimplification is a good way to process memes, but it's really not good enough for dealing with real issues and real people who aren't cartoons.
Cartoonically ICE wants to send me to death camps. Do I go?

Rules
-
π Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
ποΈ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
𧬠Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
π½οΈ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
-
π Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
β Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
β Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
π¬ Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 π) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 π) will be removed.
-
π΄ββ οΈ Internationalization (i18n)
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
SΓ, por favor [Spanish/EspaΓ±ol]

πΏ Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
- When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Banned Artists
The following artists are banned from the community.
- Jago
- Stonetoss
It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.
Web Accessibility
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)
