PROPAGANDISTS THRIVE ON YOUR ANGER AND OUTRAGE

Whenever human rationality gets overwritten our biases are easilly exploited.

Understanding Controversial Flash Points

Anger and frustration are powerful catalysts used by propagandists to move rhetoric into action. A flash point is something a propagandist will exploit to instigate friction and polarization in order to divide people into an “us against them” situation.

The propagandists know that we are more similar than different, that is inconvenient for them. They don't care about your values, they care about what biases they can exploit. In America they exploit patriotism, faith, education levels, ethnicity, cultural norms, accountability, etc.

Incendiary Topics

The following is a non-all-inclusive list, it will continue to expand because it is meant to illustrate the divisive topics that are being utilized as catalyst for polarization in the USA (and some parts of the world). It is a trap designed to exploit our biases.

Propagandists are instigating division that is preventing us from reaching a viable solution. Remember, solving a situation is not convenient for an authoritarian.  We expand each topic on Facebook.

Climate Change

Climate and weather are not the same thing. It is the rate of speed and disruptions to the balance of the habitats make this emergent.

Second Amendment Right

Second Amendment Right

Nobody is confiscating your guns! Common sense regulation is not unlike having a driver’s license, because a car can also kill people.

Trump lost in 2020

Trump lost in 2020

Most Americans voted AGAINST Trump; he was against mail ballots during COVID. That same cycle many Republicans were elected.

POLITICAL EXTREMISM 101

The “LEFT or RIGHT” political spectrum is not the same everywhere in the world.  In the USA this seemingly binary system makes it easy to polarize people between “Blue and Red.”  The truth is that we are a lot more similar than different.  That is inconvenient for authoritarians, they need polarization in order to thrive.  The political spectrum is not a straight line, it is more akin to a horseshoe.  The further down somebody falls into either side the more radicalized this person may become.

Extreme left is Communism and Extreme right is Fascism.  Both are authoritarian in nature, a mirror image of the same monster. Which means that if you speak out of turn, then you and everything you’ve ever loved will be violently eliminated by the regime.  The far left and right side of politics are danger zones, because that is where the echo chambers start to galvanize.  Propagandist place people into the echo chambers long enough to normalize their radicalizing views before pushing these masses towards the extreme, where they will be obedient enough to dehumanize anybody else who is outside this regime’s control.

Authoritarian History is repeating and galvanizing.  Yes, you will hear me talk about this a lot.  I wrote books, articles, and speak about this to anybody who would listen.  I even created this website because this topic is emergent!  Time is running out, the bad guys are near the finishing line, meanwhile most people who can do something to prevent this have not even gotten out of bed yet in order to reach the starting line.  We need to work together to win.  I refuse to be on the wrong side of history.  The indicators are evident, we need to unite our voices and wake people up!
