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" — 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?
