    Whachyaonnabout now? Did you try to post something even more

    I had posted a reply to you on the “Trump claims migrants have bad genes” thread about how Project 2025/Agenda 47 helped me change my mind in
    addition to Jan 6th about whether MAGA is actually fascism. I think you had said you made three attempts to post on that thread. So something is kinda wonky.

    Not Heinlein, but Mencken, in 1917. But otherwise, yes, that is exactly

    "Ignorant" is a default state.
    "Willfully stupid" is a matter of choice.
    There's a difference.


    Is it people you don't agree with, or those who are "so blind they will not see"?

    And what is the best approach to those who are not in alignment?

    I ask only as one of a minority, seems the world can easily be accommodated in a plummeting handbasket. The way forward is self aggrandisement whilst ignoring the planet - hey that's for later!

    There’s always Socratic irony, which is a feigned epistemic state. Phil Hartman as Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer.

    Here is Erik Simpson making that…ummm…case:

    https://eriksimpson.sites.grinnell.edu/Connections/Poetry/Terms/tropes4.html

    Well perhaps not our Erik Simpson.

    “Socratic irony involves downplaying the speaker's authority to bring an opponent into an argument and then, if all goes well, to reveal the greater ignorance of the opponent. The term comes from Plato's representations of Socrates debating a series of questioners; Socrates always begins by emphasizing his own ignorance, but he goes on to show the problems in the knowledge the questioner thought he possessed. A modern use of Socratic
    irony is that of Phil Hartman's Cirroc, the Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer on
    Saturday Night Live. To win his cases, Cirroc downplays his knowledge of
    modern ways:


    Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I'm just
    a caveman. I fell on some ice and later
    got thawed out by some of your scientists.
    Your world frightens and confuses me!
    Sometimes the honking horns of your
    traffic make me want to get out of my
    BMW and run off into the hills, or
    wherever. Sometimes when I get a message
    on my fax machine, I wonder: "Did
    little demons get inside and type it?"
    I don't know! My primitive mind
    can't grasp these concepts. But there
    is one thing I do know - when a man
    like my client slips and falls
    on a sidewalk in front of a public
    library, then he is entitled to no
    less than two million in compensatory
    damages, and two million in punitive
    damages. Thank you.

    Cirroc wins his cases by becoming a comic Socrates.”

    I’ve also heard Columbo made as an example. I just love Hartman more.

    As history has showed time and again, and current events continue to
    prove, ignoring willful stupidity is a dangerous thing. That's how
    Trump won. Even otherwise intelligent people believe his lies when
    they are said often enough.

    Yah. The alt-right became the mainstream right in part because they knew
    how to use social media to multiply their influence and give themselves
    a disproportionate appearance of numbers and power.

    JTEM uses tumblr (seriously?) and infests this group. Insignificant knuckle dragger.

    Most folks who WEREN'T internet nazis enabled them by failing to
    recognize their tactics and the intended impact. For example, "Just
    ignore the trolls" is effective when the trolls are only seeking
    attention, but it doesn't work when trolls are attempting to disrupt a
    space, shift the political center of that space, or normalize toxic
    ideas. "Ignore the trolls" is a big chunk of how open racism and eliminationist policies became acceptable again.

    The internet creationism phenomenon was, in many ways, a prototype for
    the alt-right. In 1999 I wondered if maybe we all took internet nutbars
    too seriously; 25 years later, I know we didn't take them seriously enough.

    I seriously doubt the fate of the so-called free world has hinged on
    whether we’ve engaged some local (or loco) bozo troll JTEM’s screeds on some inconsequential newsgroup. Not really a case to be made under Kant’s "act only according to that maxim whereby you can at the same time will
    that it should become a universal law."

    Steve Bannon he’s not.

    As history has showed time and again, and current events continue to
    prove, ignoring willful stupidity is a dangerous thing. That's how
    Trump won. Even otherwise intelligent people believe his lies when
    they are said often enough.

    Yah. The alt-right became the mainstream right in part because they knew >>> how to use social media to multiply their influence and give themselves
    a disproportionate appearance of numbers and power.

    JTEM uses tumblr (seriously?) and infests this group. Insignificant knuckle >> dragger.

    Most folks who WEREN'T internet nazis enabled them by failing to
    recognize their tactics and the intended impact. For example, "Just
    ignore the trolls" is effective when the trolls are only seeking
    attention, but it doesn't work when trolls are attempting to disrupt a
    space, shift the political center of that space, or normalize toxic
    ideas. "Ignore the trolls" is a big chunk of how open racism and
    eliminationist policies became acceptable again.

    The internet creationism phenomenon was, in many ways, a prototype for
    the alt-right. In 1999 I wondered if maybe we all took internet nutbars
    too seriously; 25 years later, I know we didn't take them seriously enough. >>>
    I seriously doubt the fate of the so-called free world has hinged on
    whether we’ve engaged some local (or loco) bozo troll JTEM’s screeds on >> some inconsequential newsgroup. Not really a case to be made under Kant’s >> "act only according to that maxim whereby you can at the same time will
    that it should become a universal law."

    Steve Bannon he’s not.

    Oh yeah, he's insignificant. But it does make me think of the broader
    problem of giving kooks, goons, fools, and tools too much floor space
    online.

    That’s largely outside your control. How much time do you want to waste on them or how much space inside your head will you allow them to squat in?
    Those considerations are in your control.

    What was the most convincing evidence, for you, that Neanderthals
    never interbred with so called moderns? You know, back before
    the media ordered you to believe that they did.

    What "Evidence" convinced you that Naledi was 2+ million years
    old, back in 2015?

    You could really surprise me here and be honest. Or you can
    trot out your massive disorder, insist that you were always
    on JTEM's side on these issues, and that's why you whine &
    fuss like a little bitch about him.

    Ain't holding my breath, sugar lumps.


    You forgot to switch computers here or something. JTEM accuses JTEM of being
    "a little bitch",calls himself "sugar lumps"?

    This happened. Get over it. Move on.


    You first.


    responded to your
    disinformation.

    Lol! Idiots were saying things like "unprecedented," in describing
    the supposed warming the media told them they were seeing. Which is
    retarded, because SEVERE climate changes have occurred overnight.

    Literally overnight. Super volcanic eruptions have darken the skies,
    world wide, sparking a Volcanic Winter.

    Google it.

    We're not even as warm as the last warm period! It's colder right
    now, not warmer, during the Holocene than the last interglacial...

    So there was a lot of disinformation being repeated, and I was
    responding to it and I was blocked.


    "not allowed to post" suggests some one, as opposed to some thing,
    prevented you from posting. Too bad your own cited link shows nothing
    and nobody blocking you from T.O.:

    I imagine DIG is behind this, long overdue. I don't know why we're
    seeing his posts at all. Maybe some extra torture for a special case.


    All I see from this piece of shit is abusive narcissism. Obviously can’t communicate with others in a humble and humane manner. Ignore it, though
    DIG should step in and end him.

    If he engages in unacceptable posting behaviour, he'll be banned.

    Otherwise I don't really care what he says. Because I'd have to read
    his posts.
