PROPAGANDISTS THRIVE ON YOUR ANGER AND OUTRAGE

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.
"WOKE"
“Woke” simply means to be awake and aware against being disenfranchised. The term dates to the American Civil War.
Pro Choice isn't Pro Abortion
An abortion is a traumatic event for any woman, and it is a heart-breaking last-resort decision based on difficult circumstances.
Transgender Consent
Sex reassignment only happens after significant gender dysphoria therapy. Only consenting adults may get an operation.
Gay Marriage
It is nobody’s business what consenting adults do behind close doors. Just let people share their lives as consenting adults.
Religious “Prosecution”
The USA is home for thousands of religious and denominations. Most Christian denominations disagree with each other.
Masking During COVID
The COVID mask were intended to prevent spitting COVID onto others, like a surgeon wears a mask to prevent spitting into a patient.
Non-Christians
There are 4,000+ Christian denominations and they all disagree with each other. This is actually why it is dwindling around the world.
Understanding Science
We all benefit from science every day. Even if you want disparage science, the device you are using is also thanks to science.
Atheism
Atheism means not believing in any of the 18,000+ worshiped deities. The burden of proof is on those who claim any of them.
MAGA
Make America Great AGAIN? America has always been great, although we had problematic chapters throughout our history.
"Fake" Moon Landing
It would have been a lot more expensive to fake the moon landing than actually going there. We left stuff there we still use.
"Child Grooming"
Gay people do not groom children to be gay. That type of propaganda is highly incendiary. People are either born gay or not.
“Banning” Gas Stoves
Nobody is banning gas stoves, but there are incentives to use renewable energy to gradually end fossil fuel dependency.
Affirmative Action
Meant to level the plain field to people regardless of ethnicity in pursuit of the American Dream based on their merits.
Gun Control
Firearms are specifically designed to violently end life with ease. These are tools intended to inflict severe bodily harm or death.
Renewable Energy
Fossil fuels are finite resources, and they often negatively affect the environment. However, it is a very profitable industry.
Evolution
People don’t “believe in evolution” – People either understand it or not. Many religions have reconciliated with this scientific fact.
COVID-19
The pandemic impacted the world, not only in the USA. The mismanagement in America resulted in deaths and chaos because of politics.
Healthcare
Health care in the USA is purposely expensive for everyone because entire industries profit based on its extreme complexity.
Minorities
We are all human beings, there is actually no such thing as “race” – that is why humans can interbreed and share blood transfusions.
Vaccines
Vaccines are what helped us build immunity in order to survive otherwise lethal diseases. This also helps eradicate pathogens.
Political Extremes
Communism is extreme left and Fascism is extreme right. Both of them are authoritarian, but follow different doctrines to reach there.
"Cancel Culture"
Propaganda thrives on outrage. No matter if you’re left or right, it is important to communicate to understand context.
Liberals
Liberals are not communists, not every liberal is irrational or any other derogatory epithet, much like not all conservatives are fascists.
"Great Replacement Theory"
Nobody is replacing white people. People of all skin colors want to be accepted for who they are. Diversity is a positive thing.
Minimum Wage
Inflation has increased, wages had remained low. If employers fail to pay a living wage, then taxpayers foot the employer's bill.
LGBTQ+
Being LGBTQ+ is not a choice, much like being straight is not a choice. Everybody has the right to be who they are meant to be.
Black Lives Matter
This means that their lives matter as much as every other life, because black people have been largely dehumanized and killed.
Environmental Regulations
We only have one planet, this one! Regulations prevent the destruction of the only planet that sustains live in our solar system.
Journalism
Journalism and propaganda are not synonymous. The latter redacts the truth in pursuit of authoritarian agendas.
COVID Social Distancing
Meant to gradually slow down the pandemic progress. Like the mask, more distance makes it harder to spit the virus onto others.
Student Loans
It is not that students aren’t repaying their loans; their loans interest keeps growing to several times over the original loan amount.
“Critical Race Theory”
We are not responsible for the atrocities our ancestors did, but we’re very much responsible for our actions today.
Book Bans
You don’t have to agree with what an author says, but when a book is banned, it is a clear sign that your counter-arguments are weak..
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.
“Flat Earth”
Our planet is round because gravity turns into a huge ball. Unsurprisingly people who deny this don’t work on related disciplines.
"Communism in America"
There are no high representation of communism in America. Those furthest left-leaning in the USA are nowhere near communism.
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
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!
