Understanding Liberal Propaganda Tactics: Michael Anton's article reveals manipulation tactics used by the left, Dan Bongino recommends it as a graduate-level course, big tech attacks data, ExpressVPN for protection, and a special offer from Paint Your Life
The article by Michael Anton is a must-read for understanding the tactics and tricks used by the liberal propaganda machine. Dan Bongino, the host of the show, highly recommends it as a graduate-level course on the subject. The article exposes various stunt scams and tactics used by the left to manipulate and gaslight people. Dan also mentions that big tech is constantly attacking individuals' data, and he promotes ExpressVPN for data protection. Additionally, Dan talks about a special offer from Paint Your Life, where listeners can get a hand-painted portrait at an affordable price, with a 20% discount and free shipping. The piece by Michael Anton was previously discussed on Tucker Carlson's show, where a controversy arose after Mark Stein mentioned immigration during guest hosting. Overall, the show emphasizes the importance of being informed and aware of the tactics used to manipulate public opinion.
Democrats seek power through immigration: Democrats use immigration as a power tool, not for compassion or equality, and label opposing views as racist 'white replacement theory'.
According to Tucker Carlson, the Democratic Party's approach to immigration is driven by a desire to maintain power through the addition of new voters, rather than a genuine concern for compassion or racial equality. Carlson argues that the Democrats have been losing middle-class voters for decades and are now turning to immigration as a solution, regardless of the racial or ethnic backgrounds of the new immigrants. He claims that if these immigrants vote Republican, they are not welcome. This issue, according to Carlson, is not about race but about power. However, the left often labels this perspective as "white replacement theory" and considers it racist. The debate around this issue highlights the polarized nature of the discourse on immigration in the United States.
Perception of similar statements varies based on framing and speaker: Speaker's framing and context significantly impact public reaction to similar statements. While Tucker Carlson and Michelle Goldberg discussed demographic shifts and power struggles, their perspectives and reactions differed greatly due to their framing and the perception of their character and political affiliations.
There is a significant disconnect in how certain statements are perceived based on who is making them, despite the messages being similar. In this discussion, both Tucker Carlson and Michelle Goldberg of the New York Times expressed concerns about demographic shifts and power struggles. However, while Carlson framed it as a non-racial issue, Goldberg explicitly tied it to race. The reaction to their comments also varied greatly, with Goldberg's perspective being celebrated, while Carlson's was attacked. This highlights the importance of context and framing in shaping public discourse and perception. Additionally, there are ongoing debates about Democrats allegedly trying to bring in new voters, particularly through immigration, before major elections and granting them amnesty to increase their voter base. These allegations, whether true or not, further underscore the complex and nuanced nature of political discourse and the role of media in shaping public opinion.
Manipulating Public Opinion Tactics: Celebration Parallax and Law of Merited Impossibility: Certain groups use tactics like Celebration Parallax and Law of Merited Impossibility to manipulate public opinion and silence opposing views. The former refers to how the same statement can be celebrated or condemned based on who says it, while the latter enforces irrational punishments on those who object.
There are tactics used by certain groups to manipulate public opinion and silence opposing views. Michael Anton, in an article from The American Mind, identifies two such tactics: the celebration parallax and the law of merited impossibility. The celebration parallax refers to how the same statement can be celebrated or condemned based on who says it. For instance, if a Democrat or a mainstream media outlet makes a controversial statement, it is celebrated, while if a Republican does, it is condemned. The law of merited impossibility, on the other hand, enforces a caste system where those in power can impose irrational indignities on others, and when those object, they are labeled as deserving the punishment. These tactics are used to silence opposition and maintain power, and it's essential to be aware of them to call them out when they are used.
Left's use of contradictory tactics: The left employs contradictory tactics, insisting something isn't happening while praising it, creating confusion and misleading public opinion, such as on transgender bathroom laws, NSA spying, and illegal immigration
The left often uses contradictory tactics, insisting that something isn't happening while also praising it as a positive development. Michael Anton's article discusses several examples, including the debate over transgender bathroom laws. Initially, it was argued that men in women's restrooms was an absurd idea. However, when it began happening, those who opposed it were criticized and accused of being transphobic. This tactic, known as the law of salutary contradiction, is a common leftist strategy to manipulate public opinion. Another example given in the article was the NSA spying on Tucker Carlson, which was initially dismissed as a conspiracy theory but later proven true. The Biden administration's handling of illegal immigration was also cited as an instance of this tactic. Despite denying the practice, the left celebrated it as a positive development for immigrants. These contradictory messages can be confusing and misleading, making it essential to critically evaluate information and understand the underlying motivations.
Left's tactics to promote their agenda: The left manipulates language and uses useful idiots to downplay their extreme actions and reassure conservatives, undermining democratic values.
The left often uses tactics such as redefining terms and taking advantage of useful idiots on the right to promote their agenda, even if it goes against the values of many conservatives. This was discussed in relation to the Smales exhortation and the lieback imperative. The Smales exhortation, as described by Michael Anton, suggests that democracy is only great if the left wins, and anything that might result in conservative outcomes is illegitimate. The lieback imperative, on the other hand, refers to the left's use of useful idiots on the right to reassure conservatives that their concerns are unwarranted. The left has been successful in recruiting useful idiots, such as David French and Liz Cheney, to downplay their more extreme rhetoric and actions. It's important for conservatives to be aware of these tactics and not be swayed by the lies and reassurances of useful idiots on the left.
David French: A Republican Criticized for Being a Grifter and Useful Idiot for the Left: Understand the left's tactics of counter-accusations and violent rhetoric, and stand up against them.
There is a person named David French, who presents himself as a Republican but is criticized for being a grifter and a useful idiot for the left. He has contradicted himself on the issue of acknowledging the consequences of past racist harm. The speaker also promotes Rush Tax Resolution, a tax relief company, and discusses the importance of understanding the left's tactics and their tendency to counter-accuse when called out. The left, according to the speaker, engages in violent rhetoric and threats, and when confronted, counters by accusing the other side of being divisive. An example given is Michael Anton's article "The Coming Insurrection," where the left was quoted threatening street violence after the election. The speaker emphasizes the importance of recognizing these tactics and standing up against them.
Left's use of Entity Counter Accusation to Silence Opponents: The left employs the Entity Counter Accusation tactic, accusing opponents of promoting violence or instigating a coup, to shift focus and discredit them
During political debates, the left often uses tactic number six, the entity counter accusation, to silence their opponents. They accuse their opponents of promoting violence or instigating a coup, even when it's the left that is calling for such actions. This was evident in an article by Davey Alba from the New York Times, who accused the speaker of fostering a coup while she and her group were discussing the potential for leftist violence. This tactic is designed to shift the focus from the left's actions to the right, making the right appear violent or dangerous. The speaker also discussed rule number seven, "The beatings will continue until morale improves," which suggests that those on the right are seen as undesirable and may be targeted for punishment. Overall, the left's use of the entity counter accusation is a manipulative tactic used to silence and discredit their opponents.
Understanding the Thrill Behind Cancel Culture: Cancel culture thrives on causing pain and hurting others for enjoyment, using power to boycott and bankrupt individuals, justifying it through euphemisms, not for accountability. Stand firm against these tactics and read Michael Anton's article on Fox Nation and bongino.com for better understanding.
Those engaging in cancel culture derive enjoyment from causing pain and hurting others, regardless of the potential consequences for themselves. They use their power to boycott and bankrupt individuals, all while justifying it through various euphemisms. This behavior is not about accountability, but rather the thrill of holding power over others. It's essential to recognize this dynamic and stand firm against such tactics. Additionally, there's a growing threat from big tech, with surveillance data being used to invade privacy. Remember, Michael Anton's article on cancel culture, available on Fox Nation and bongino.com, is a must-read for understanding this phenomenon better. Furthermore, Echelon offers an affordable solution for fitness goals, with world-class instructors and a supportive community, but beware, it might lead to family members stealing your equipment!
Echelon's Affordable and Effective Workout Equipment with Interactive Capabilities and Variety of Classes: Echelon provides affordable and well-made workout equipment with interactive features and a wide range of classes, challenging the perception of high-cost fitness solutions.
Echelon offers affordable and effective workout equipment with interactive capabilities and a wide range of classes for families. Their equipment is well-made and priced effectively. Meanwhile, a controversial report claimed that white people have the lowest life expectancy in England and Wales, contradicting the common perception of white privilege. This seemingly paradoxical situation could be explained by the "law of merited impossibility," where challenging an accepted belief leads to its opposite becoming true. Elsewhere, there were concerns about government overreach, with some leaders implementing strict vaccination mandates and restrictions on personal freedoms, which some people view as a good thing despite the initial resistance.
Navigating Contradictory Messages and Protecting Privacy: Stay informed, fact-check, and protect personal data against big tech's invasion of privacy. Be cautious of labels used to silence political opponents.
There are contradictory messages and actions coming from various sources, including political figures and governments, which can be confusing and frustrating for individuals. It's important to fact-check information and stay informed about the truth behind the headlines. Another major concern is the growing threat of big tech companies and their ability to invade privacy and monitor individuals' data in real-time. The use of labels like "hate" to target political opponents is a cause for concern and highlights the need for individuals to secure their data and be cautious of the companies they trust. The speaker encourages staying informed, fact-checking, and taking steps to protect personal data. Additionally, the speaker expresses solidarity with those fighting for freedom, particularly in the context of lockdowns and government overreach.
Dan Bongino urges audience to switch to alternative platforms due to leftist interference: Dan Bongino encourages his audience to leave popular platforms like YouTube, Twitter, Stripe, and PayPal, and join alternative ecosystems like Rumble and AlignPay due to increasing interference and monitoring from leftist forces. This isn't just about money, but an ideological fight.
Dan Bongino, a conservative commentator, is encouraging his audience to leave popular platforms like YouTube, Twitter, Stripe, and PayPal, and join alternative ecosystems like Rumble and AlignPay. He believes this is necessary due to increasing interference and monitoring from leftist forces, and the potential for worsening situations. Bongino emphasized that this isn't just about money, but an ideological fight. He mentioned his involvement with Rumble and AlignPay as reasons for this call to action. The audience was also asked to spread awareness about the tactics of the left through an article. Additionally, it was announced that the Google Podcasts app is going away, and listeners were encouraged to switch to other podcast platforms.
