  686. A new report by the Environmental Integrity Project has found that 50 years since the passage of the Clean Water Act, the country’s waterways are severely polluted. The report found about half of the river and stream miles and lake acres across the U.S. are too polluted for swimming, fishing or drinking. Researchers argued the Environmental Protection Agency needs to update water assessment regulations and allocate more funding for staff and resources. The Clean Water Act, passed into law 50 years ago, has fallen well short of its goals, a new analysis finds. Nearly half of the rivers and streams across the U.S. are considered too polluted to meet quality standards for swimming, recreation, aquatic life, fish consumption or as drinking water sources. The Environmental Integrity Project (EIP), a nonpartisan nonprofit formed by former Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) attorneys, published a report that found alarming results of water quality tests in all 50 states. More than 700,000 miles of waterways, about 51 percent of assessed river and stream miles, are impaired by pollution. That’s in addition to another 55 percent of lake acres and 26 percent of estuary miles. The report defines “impaired” as waters that are too polluted to meet standards for swimming and recreation, aquatic life, fish consumption or as drinking water sources. Some states have done better than others. The report found Indiana tops the list of states with the dirtiest waterways, with 24,395 total miles of rivers and streams considered impaired for swimming and recreation. Second is Oregon and third is South Carolina.

  867. Anyone who votes Republican should take the fishermen test? XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  1916. Do you think Fishermen vote democrat or Republican? Do Fishermen like the same stuff you do? XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  2151. XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security 👈👈👈 Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  2520. Do you folk agree with fishermen? XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111.

  3318. How many of the following points about Fishermen do you agree with? XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  3625.  @aarongoodwin4845  Something inferred on folk 200 years ago is FACT The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias[2] whereby people with low ability, expertise, or experience regarding a certain type of a task or area of knowledge tend to overestimate their ability or knowledge. Some researchers also include in their definition the opposite effect for high performers: their tendency to underestimate their skills. The Dunning–Kruger effect is usually measured by comparing self-assessment with objective performance. For example, the participants in a study may be asked to complete a quiz and then estimate how well they performed. This subjective assessment is then compared with how well they actually performed. This can happen either in relative or in absolute terms, i.e., in comparison with one's peer group as the percentage of peers outperformed or in comparison with objective standards as the number of questions answered correctly. The Dunning–Kruger effect appears in both cases but is more pronounced in relative terms: the bottom quartile of performers tend to see themselves as being part of the top two quartiles. The initial study was published by David Dunning and Justin Kruger in 1999. It focused on logical reasoning, grammar, and social skills. Since then, various other studies have been conducted across a wide range of tasks. These include skills from fields such as business, politics, medicine, driving, aviation, spatial memory, exams in school, and literacy. The Dunning–Kruger effect is usually explained in terms of meta-cognitive abilities. This approach is based on the idea that poor performers have not yet acquired the ability to distinguish between good and bad performances. They tend to overrate themselves because they do not see the qualitative difference between their performances and the performances of others. This has also been termed the "dual-burden account" since the lack of skill is paired with the ignorance of this lack. Some researchers include the meta-cognitive component as part of the definition of the Dunning–Kruger effect and not just as an explanation distinct from it.

  3946. ​@Angela Pagano XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  4280.  @ThePhenom777  XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  4757. Please tell me, are Fishermen democrat or Republican XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  5023.  @Post-Trib  Straw Man A straw man (sometimes written as strawman) is a form of argument and an informal fallacy of having the impression of refuting an argument, whereas the real subject of the argument was not addressed or refuted, but instead replaced with a false one. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man". The typical straw man argument creates the illusion of having completely refuted or defeated an opponent's proposition through the covert replacement of it with a different proposition (i.e., "stand up a straw man") and the subsequent refutation of that false argument ("knock down a straw man") instead of the opponent's proposition. Straw man arguments have been used throughout history in polemical debate, particularly regarding highly charged emotional subjects. Straw man tactics in the United Kingdom may also be known as an Aunt Sally, after a pub game of the same name, where patrons throw sticks or battens at a post to knock off a skittle balanced on top. -------------------------- Ad hominem Fallacious argumentative strategy that avoids genuine discussion of the topic by instead attacking the character, motive etc. of the person(s) associated with the argument Ad hominem (Latin for 'to the person'), short for argumentum ad hominem, refers to several types of arguments, some but not all of which are fallacious. Typically this term refers to a rhetorical strategy where the speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself.

  5244.  @amyh3873  Hey, Hey, USA! How Many Bombs Did You Drop Today? The U.S. military and allied air forces have dropped over 337,000 bombs and missiles on other countries over the last 20 years. That is an average of 46 strikes per day for two decades. Enough. MEDEA BENJAMIN, NICOLAS J.S. DAVIES January 10, 2022 The Pentagon has finally published its first Airpower Summary since President Biden took office nearly a year ago. These monthly reports have been published since 2007 to document the number of bombs and missiles dropped by U.S.-led air forces in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria since 2004. But President Trump stopped publishing them after February 2020, shrouding continued U.S. bombing in secrecy. "The failure of the U.S. government, politicians and corporate media to honestly inform and educate the American public about the systematic mass destruction wreaked by our country’s armed forces has allowed this carnage to continue largely unremarked and unchecked for 20 years." Over the past 20 years, as documented in the table below, U.S. and allied air forces have dropped over 337,000 bombs and missiles on other countries. That is an average of 46 strikes per day for 20 years. This endless bombardment has not only been deadly and devastating for its victims but is broadly recognized as seriously undermining international peace and security and diminishing America’s standing in the world. The U.S. government and political establishment have been remarkably successful at keeping the American public in the dark about the horrific consequences of these long-term campaigns of mass destruction, allowing them to maintain the illusion of U.S. militarism as a force for good in the world in their domestic political rhetoric.

  5256. XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability.

  5408. Over 2.2 million people are currently in U.S. jails or prisons. That's more than the entire population of New Mexico. It's the highest prison population in the entire world.* The U.S. also has the highest prison rate in the world at about 724 people per 100,000.* Half of the world's prison population of approximately 9 million people is held in the U.S., Russia, or China. Over 2.7 million children in the U.S. have a parent behind bars. There are over 5,000 jails and prisons in the U.S. There are more jails than colleges in the U.S. In many parts of the country, there are more people in jail than living on college campuses. The U.S. prison population has more than quadrupled since the early 1980s: when mandatory minimum sentencing laws for drugs when into effect. Severe prison overcrowding means that violent criminals are being released early to make room for non-violent drug offenders who are required to serve a minimum amount of time--regardless of what a judge says. About half of the inmates in federal prisons are serving time for non-violent drug offenses. Federal law currently requires a mandatory minimum sentence of five years for a first-time, non-violent drug offense. Approximately 60 percent of federal drug offenders are subject to mandatory minimum sentences. The average annual cost to incarcerate one inmate in federal prison is about $29,000. Incarceration costs taxpayers almost $70 billion annually. State spending on corrections has grown about 300 percent in just the past 20 years. The Smarter Sentencing Act would save taxpayers nearly $24 billion over the next 20 years.

  5828.  @dustinnunez5077  Pick your own? XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  6504.  @dustinnunez5077  All of you! XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  6644.  @d3riverbrat  Straw Man A straw man (sometimes written as strawman) is a form of argument and an informal fallacy of having the impression of refuting an argument, whereas the real subject of the argument was not addressed or refuted, but instead replaced with a false one. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man". The typical straw man argument creates the illusion of having completely refuted or defeated an opponent's proposition through the covert replacement of it with a different proposition (i.e., "stand up a straw man") and the subsequent refutation of that false argument ("knock down a straw man") instead of the opponent's proposition. Straw man arguments have been used throughout history in polemical debate, particularly regarding highly charged emotional subjects. Straw man tactics in the United Kingdom may also be known as an Aunt Sally, after a pub game of the same name, where patrons throw sticks or battens at a post to knock off a skittle balanced on top. -------------------------- Ad hominem Fallacious argumentative strategy that avoids genuine discussion of the topic by instead attacking the character, motive etc. of the person(s) associated with the argument Ad hominem (Latin for 'to the person'), short for argumentum ad hominem, refers to several types of arguments, some but not all of which are fallacious. Typically this term refers to a rhetorical strategy where the speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself.

  6703.  @theodoreheintz7891  XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. 👈👈👈 IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  7678.  @im2tweaked  Take my test? Are you a fisherman? XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  7903.  @polardiscoball  Fishermen? XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  7931.  @johnmichaels4172  The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias whereby people with low ability, expertise, or experience regarding a certain type of a task or area of knowledge tend to overestimate their ability or knowledge. Some researchers also include in their definition the opposite effect for high performers: their tendency to underestimate their skills. The Dunning–Kruger effect is usually measured by comparing self-assessment with objective performance. For example, the participants in a study may be asked to complete a quiz and then estimate how well they performed. This subjective assessment is then compared with how well they actually performed. This can happen either in relative or in absolute terms, i.e., in comparison with one's peer group as the percentage of peers outperformed or in comparison with objective standards as the number of questions answered correctly. The Dunning–Kruger effect appears in both cases but is more pronounced in relative terms: the bottom quartile of performers tend to see themselves as being part of the top two quartiles. The initial study was published by David Dunning and Justin Kruger in 1999. It focused on logical reasoning, grammar, and social skills. Since then, various other studies have been conducted across a wide range of tasks. These include skills from fields such as business, politics, medicine, driving, aviation, spatial memory, exams in school, and literacy. The Dunning–Kruger effect is usually explained in terms of meta-cognitive abilities. This approach is based on the idea that poor performers have not yet acquired the ability to distinguish between good and bad performances. They tend to overrate themselves because they do not see the qualitative difference between their performances and the performances of others. This has also been termed the "dual-burden account" since the lack of skill is paired with the ignorance of this lack. Some researchers include the meta-cognitive component as part of the definition of the Dunning–Kruger effect and not just as an explanation distinct from it.

  8531.  @RJ1999x  The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias whereby people with low ability, expertise, or experience regarding a certain type of a task or area of knowledge tend to overestimate their ability or knowledge. Some researchers also include in their definition the opposite effect for high performers: their tendency to underestimate their skills. The Dunning–Kruger effect is usually measured by comparing self-assessment with objective performance. For example, the participants in a study may be asked to complete a quiz and then estimate how well they performed. This subjective assessment is then compared with how well they actually performed. This can happen either in relative or in absolute terms, i.e., in comparison with one's peer group as the percentage of peers outperformed or in comparison with objective standards as the number of questions answered correctly. The Dunning–Kruger effect appears in both cases but is more pronounced in relative terms: the bottom quartile of performers tend to see themselves as being part of the top two quartiles. The initial study was published by David Dunning and Justin Kruger in 1999. It focused on logical reasoning, grammar, and social skills. Since then, various other studies have been conducted across a wide range of tasks. These include skills from fields such as business, politics, medicine, driving, aviation, spatial memory, exams in school, and literacy. The Dunning–Kruger effect is usually explained in terms of meta-cognitive abilities. This approach is based on the idea that poor performers have not yet acquired the ability to distinguish between good and bad performances. They tend to overrate themselves because they do not see the qualitative difference between their performances and the performances of others. This has also been termed the "dual-burden account" since the lack of skill is paired with the ignorance of this lack. Some researchers include the meta-cognitive component as part of the definition of the Dunning–Kruger effect and not just as an explanation distinct from it.

Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  8842.  @tomtom3889  Tar sands mine, Alberta, Canada. © Jiri Rezac / Greenpeace The production of petroleum from the tar sands in Alberta has become one of the most pressing environmental and human rights issues in Canada. The tar sands (also known as oil sands) is the largest industrial project on earth, yet few people are aware of the rapid pace of growth and its impact on our environment, economy, and society. Facts about these impacts are available at Oil Sands Reality Check Refining Tar Sands This site focuses on the refineries that process tar sands crude in the USA and Canada. The refining of tar sands crude is a particularly intensive and polluting process and has increased dramatically in recent years. Tar sands bitumen freshly extracted from an in situ well.
 Source: Southern Pacific Resource Corporation - investor presentation, October 2012. The tar sands yield a form of hydrocarbon called bitumen that is carbon rich and hydrogen poor. Because of its carbon-richness, bitumen is not a liquid and at room temperature has a texture similar to molasses. It is sometimes labeled as an extra-heavy crude oil but is essentially bitumen or tar. Refineries convert crude oil into light hydrocarbons such as gasoline and diesel. As bitumen is so heavy, converting it into these light hydrocarbons requires several intensive processes. In each of these processes, (e.g. distilling, coking and hydrotreating) more energy and heat is required than would be required for refining conventional heavy crude oil. This means more pollution is emitted at the refinery and at power plants supplying electricity to the refinery.

  8918. @Baronarx V Straw Man A straw man (sometimes written as strawman) is a form of argument and an informal fallacy of having the impression of refuting an argument, whereas the real subject of the argument was not addressed or refuted, but instead replaced with a false one. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man". The typical straw man argument creates the illusion of having completely refuted or defeated an opponent's proposition through the covert replacement of it with a different proposition (i.e., "stand up a straw man") and the subsequent refutation of that false argument ("knock down a straw man") instead of the opponent's proposition. Straw man arguments have been used throughout history in polemical debate, particularly regarding highly charged emotional subjects. Straw man tactics in the United Kingdom may also be known as an Aunt Sally, after a pub game of the same name, where patrons throw sticks or battens at a post to knock off a skittle balanced on top. -------------------------- Ad hominem Fallacious argumentative strategy that avoids genuine discussion of the topic by instead attacking the character, motive etc. of the person(s) associated with the argument Ad hominem (Latin for 'to the person'), short for argumentum ad hominem, refers to several types of arguments, some but not all of which are fallacious. Typically this term refers to a rhetorical strategy where the speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself.

  8933. XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  9843. Hey, Hey, USA! How Many Bombs Did You Drop Today? The U.S. military and allied air forces have dropped over 337,000 bombs and missiles on other countries over the last 20 years. That is an average of 46 strikes per day for two decades. Enough. MEDEA BENJAMIN, NICOLAS J.S. DAVIES January 10, 2022 The Pentagon has finally published its first Airpower Summary since President Biden took office nearly a year ago. These monthly reports have been published since 2007 to document the number of bombs and missiles dropped by U.S.-led air forces in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria since 2004. But President Trump stopped publishing them after February 2020, shrouding continued U.S. bombing in secrecy. "The failure of the U.S. government, politicians and corporate media to honestly inform and educate the American public about the systematic mass destruction wreaked by our country’s armed forces has allowed this carnage to continue largely unremarked and unchecked for 20 years." Over the past 20 years, as documented in the table below, U.S. and allied air forces have dropped over 337,000 bombs and missiles on other countries. That is an average of 46 strikes per day for 20 years. This endless bombardment has not only been deadly and devastating for its victims but is broadly recognized as seriously undermining international peace and security and diminishing America’s standing in the world. The U.S. government and political establishment have been remarkably successful at keeping the American public in the dark about the horrific consequences of these long-term campaigns of mass destruction, allowing them to maintain the illusion of U.S. militarism as a force for good in the world in their domestic political rhetoric.

Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives.

  10851. So Fishermen! XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  10982.  @arand4125  Ok, I am not a political nut but my view. After WW2 there was no need, desire or interest for the US to consider global issues. You had taken over from us Brits as the dominant world force and were building an Empire. (The British Empire was horrific in many ways) US folk did not want to be aware of global stuff after being dragged into WW2. The industrial US might supplied before the US actually entered the war was very important IMHO. Then you left some boats parked unattended in the Pacific and powee! The US had both the power to ignore and no need to consider globalism at that stage. However, in the last 30 years events overseas have had impacts in the US. 9 11 (US support for the IRA stopped when you saw terrorism at home?) and now things like climate change, oil etc are having an impact. The US can ignore the rest of the world but not the consequences on the US, climate change is most severe in the US, droughts in mid west etc. Chalmers Johnson has some great vids relating to this - US Empire etc. It also seems to me that war is no longer profitable - so no one wants one? Oil info, pick away at my addled brain. The current US proven oil reserves will run out in 10 years - 5 years without oil imports. 1) You use 20.1 million barrels a day / 7.3 Billion barrels a year 2) You produce 11.8 million barrels a day / 4.3 billion barrels a year 3) Your proven reserves are 35 billion barrels - Oil deposits that have not yet been pumped out of the ground are known as proven reserves You may find more oil? My numbers may not be exact? But it does explain one odd thing, California dropping the ICE in 2035? I believe oil plays a huge part in US foreign policy and politics which is all hidden from US folk. And breathe.....😀

  10983.  @arand4125  Russia/Ukraine. It will drift and a normal will exist much as it did before. Russia has gained nothing and lost face. The war has no upside anymore, Putin is trying to save face IMHO. Military analogy, never give an order that will not be followed - makes the issuer look stupid? War has stopped being profitable? Global currency? Not much idea about that. The UK did not adopt the Euro without any real issues but our Exit from the European Union has been a disaster. However, the US petro dollar has such high value that it's loss would cripple the US economy. Look at Libya when they threatened to sell their oil in African gold and not US dollars. US awareness? Probably the main reason I am here. I love the YT skits where US citizens try to name countries or place them on a map. The US used to have no reason to know, but now they do. Maybe. I am often surprised at how the "state" has misinformed US folk. The last time the US declared war was 1943, everything following that may be considered a war crime? Why did the US invade Afghanistan? Why invade Iraq - WMD were lies? I will often mention conflict. I live in a military area, not a military man myself. I hold nations to account - NEVER individual servicemen. I have gotten some sense that a few US servicemen were less than happy with their role at times. The lack of US awareness is causing US folk to be viewed poorly as a group IMHO. Which country organised 9 11? There is no need to answer any question that you do not wish to.

  11797.  @TheIkaika777  Bollocks XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV.

  12232. XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts 👈👈👈 Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  12318. Like these fishermen? XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  12909. Fishermen? XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  13137.  @manoftruth0935  So you asked yer Mom? Makes sense, the gene pool does have a shallow end? So all the flag waving slogans (MAGA) and stuff in I) are Democrats? VI) Democrats are obsessed with the border? FFS DULLARD! Look up Dunning Kruger Cognitive dissonance In the field of psychology, cognitive dissonance is the perception of contradictory information. Relevant items of information include a person's actions, feelings, ideas, beliefs, values, and things in the environment. Cognitive dissonance is typically experienced as psychological stress when persons participate in an action that goes against one or more of those things. According to this theory, when two actions or ideas are not psychologically consistent with each other, people do all in their power to change them until they become consistent. The discomfort is triggered by the person's belief clashing with new information perceived, wherein the individual tries to find a way to resolve the contradiction to reduce their discomfort. Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms or supports one's prior beliefs or values. People display this bias when they select information that supports their views, ignoring contrary information, or when they interpret ambiguous evidence as supporting their existing attitudes. The effect is strongest for desired outcomes, for emotionally charged issues, and for deeply entrenched beliefs. Confirmation bias cannot be eliminated, but it can be managed, for example, by education and training in critical thinking skills.

  13582. Glass houses? Frederick Christ Trump Sr. (October 11, 1905 – June 25, 1999) was an American real estate developer and businessman. A member of the Trump family, he was the father of Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States. In partnership with his mother, Elizabeth Christ Trump, Fred began a career in home construction and sales. Their real estate development company was incorporated as E. Trump & Son in 1927 (later called the Fred Trump Organization). It grew to build and manage single-family houses in Queens, barracks and garden apartments for U.S. Navy personnel near major shipyards along the East Coast, and more than 27,000 apartments in New York City. Trump was investigated by a U.S. Senate committee for profiteering in 1954, and again by the State of New York in 1966. Donald became the president of his father's real estate business in 1971, and they were sued by the U.S. Justice Department's Civil Rights Division for violating the Fair Housing Act in 1973; in the case settlement, the Trumps were ordered to take several measures to curb racial discrimination. For decades following World War II, Trump concealed his German ancestry, instead claiming Swedish heritage, to avoid associations with Nazism in light of the Holocaust; he also supported Jewish causes. During his son's presidential campaign, reports of Trump's arrest at a 1927 Ku Klux Klan parade resurfaced. As president, Donald Trump repeatedly and falsely claimed that his father was born in Germany.

  13583.  @theequalizer9154  Not by me and not in this thread. Straw Man A straw man (sometimes written as strawman) is a form of argument and an informal fallacy of having the impression of refuting an argument, whereas the real subject of the argument was not addressed or refuted, but instead replaced with a false one. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man". The typical straw man argument creates the illusion of having completely refuted or defeated an opponent's proposition through the covert replacement of it with a different proposition (i.e., "stand up a straw man") and the subsequent refutation of that false argument ("knock down a straw man") instead of the opponent's proposition. Straw man arguments have been used throughout history in polemical debate, particularly regarding highly charged emotional subjects. Straw man tactics in the United Kingdom may also be known as an Aunt Sally, after a pub game of the same name, where patrons throw sticks or battens at a post to knock off a skittle balanced on top. -------------------------- What Is Deflection? In general, deflection means that you're passing something over to someone else in an attempt to draw the attention away from yourself. It is a psychological defense in which you deflect blame to others. When you were younger, you may have deflected the blame for a negative activity by pointing out a different negative activity your sibling did. This is to avoid dealing with negative consequences. But, this behavior can be long term and can become a psychological defense mechanism. As you got older, you might have tried to pass the blame for a bad report to a different coworker. You may have tried to get out of looking bad by trying to say that it was someone else who did it. All of these things are examples of deflection. -----------

  13807.  @its-butters58  troll 1. a person who makes a deliberately offensive or provocative online post: "one solution is to make a troll's postings invisible to the rest of community once they've been recognized" 2. make a deliberately offensive or provocative online post with the aim of upsetting someone or eliciting an angry response from them: "if people are obviously trolling then I'll delete your posts and do my best to ban you" Proving a negative or negative proof may refer to: Proving a negative, in the philosophic burden of proof Evidence of absence in general, such as evidence that there is no milk in a certain bowl Modus tollens, a logical proof Proof of impossibility, mathematics Russell's teapot, an analogy: inability to disprove does not prove Sometimes it is mistaken for an argument from ignorance, which is non-proof and a logical fallacy Argument from ignorance (from Latin: argumentum ad ignorantiam), also known as appeal to ignorance (in which ignorance represents "a lack of contrary evidence"), is a fallacy in informal logic. It asserts that a proposition is true because it has not yet been proven false or a proposition is false because it has not yet been proven true. This represents a type of false dichotomy in that it excludes the possibility that there may have been an insufficient investigation to prove that the proposition is either true or false. It also does not allow for the possibility that the answer is unknowable, only knowable in the future, or neither completely true nor completely false. In debates, appealing to ignorance is sometimes an attempt to shift the burden of proof.

Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III.

  14061.  @davidstarr9632  The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias whereby people with low ability, expertise, or experience regarding a certain type of a task or area of knowledge tend to overestimate their ability or knowledge. Some researchers also include in their definition the opposite effect for high performers: their tendency to underestimate their skills. The Dunning–Kruger effect is usually measured by comparing self-assessment with objective performance. For example, the participants in a study may be asked to complete a quiz and then estimate how well they performed. This subjective assessment is then compared with how well they actually performed. This can happen either in relative or in absolute terms, i.e., in comparison with one's peer group as the percentage of peers outperformed or in comparison with objective standards as the number of questions answered correctly. The Dunning–Kruger effect appears in both cases but is more pronounced in relative terms: the bottom quartile of performers tend to see themselves as being part of the top two quartiles. The initial study was published by David Dunning and Justin Kruger in 1999. It focused on logical reasoning, grammar, and social skills. Since then, various other studies have been conducted across a wide range of tasks. These include skills from fields such as business, politics, medicine, driving, aviation, spatial memory, exams in school, and literacy. The Dunning–Kruger effect is usually explained in terms of meta-cognitive abilities. This approach is based on the idea that poor performers have not yet acquired the ability to distinguish between good and bad performances. They tend to overrate themselves because they do not see the qualitative difference between their performances and the performances of others. This has also been termed the "dual-burden account" since the lack of skill is paired with the ignorance of this lack. Some researchers include the meta-cognitive component as part of the definition of the Dunning–Kruger effect and not just as an explanation distinct from it.

  14202. Hypocrite? Take the test? XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  15162. Are Fishermen Democrats or Republicans? XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control ele

  15202.  @ag9378  Cognitive dissonance In the field of psychology, cognitive dissonance is the perception of contradictory information. Relevant items of information include a person's actions, feelings, ideas, beliefs, values, and things in the environment. Cognitive dissonance is typically experienced as psychological stress when persons participate in an action that goes against one or more of those things. According to this theory, when two actions or ideas are not psychologically consistent with each other, people do all in their power to change them until they become consistent. The discomfort is triggered by the person's belief clashing with new information perceived, wherein the individual tries to find a way to resolve the contradiction to reduce their discomfort. Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms or supports one's prior beliefs or values. People display this bias when they select information that supports their views, ignoring contrary information, or when they interpret ambiguous evidence as supporting their existing attitudes. The effect is strongest for desired outcomes, for emotionally charged issues, and for deeply entrenched beliefs. Confirmation bias cannot be eliminated, but it can be managed, for example, by education and training in critical thinking skills. Proving a negative or negative proof may refer to: Proving a negative, in the philosophic burden of proof Evidence of absence in general, such as evidence that there is no milk in a certain bowl Modus tollens, a logical proof Proof of impossibility, mathematics Russell's teapot, an analogy: inability to disprove does not prove Sometimes it is mistaken for an argument from ignorance, which is non-proof and a logical fallacy Argument from ignorance (from Latin: argumentum ad ignorantiam), also known as appeal to ignorance (in which ignorance represents "a lack of contrary evidence"), is a fallacy in informal logic. It asserts that a proposition is true because it has not yet been proven false or a proposition is false because it has not yet been proven true. This represents a type of false dichotomy in that it excludes the possibility that there may have been an insufficient investigation to prove that the proposition is either true or false. It also does not allow for the possibility that the answer is unknowable, only knowable in the future, or neither completely true nor completely false. In debates, appealing to ignorance is sometimes an attempt to shift the burden of proof.

  15253.  @kalvitien  Number VII XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  15531. Great US products in action. Pentagon Blasted for 'Unacceptable Failure' to Reckon With Civilian Casualties "For too long, the United States has failed to live up to its legal and moral commitments to the protection of civilians, as well as its own stated policies. This needs to change." BRETT WILKINS December 2, 2021 Days after U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered a new investigation into a clandestine airstrike that killed scores of Syrian noncombatants whose deaths were subsequently covered up, 24 advocacy groups on Wednesday published an open letter calling on the Pentagon to "reckon with U.S.-caused civilian casualties and commit to urgent reforms." "We urge you to... commit to finally implementing structural changes to prioritize civilian protection and accountability for civilian harm." The letter, addressed to Austin, expresses "grave concerns" about the Pentagon's "civilian harm policies and practices and their impact," citing an August 29 drone strike in Kabul, Afghanistan that killed 10 civilians including an aid worker and seven children, as well as a March 18, 2019 airstrike in Baghuz, Syria in which around 70 civilians died and was "flagged as a possible war crime by at least one Defense Department lawyer." "These strikes, and the Defense Department's record of civilian harm over the past 20 years, illustrate an unacceptable failure to prioritize civilian protection in the use of lethal force; meaningfully investigate, acknowledge, and provide amends when harm occurs; and provide accountability in the event of wrongdoing," the signers continue. While determining the exact number of civilians killed during 21 years of the U.S.-led so-called War on Terror is impossible given that the United States doesn't "do body counts" or, in many cases, adequately investigate who has been harmed by airstrikes and other attacks, the Costs of War Project at Brown University's Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs says 900,000 noncombatants have died. Other groups contend that number could be perhaps twice as high.

  15719.  @SwornReaper  Like Fishermen? (YT censorship!) XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  15907.  @johnmichaels4172  2,000 million is a real number. The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias whereby people with low ability, expertise, or experience regarding a certain type of a task or area of knowledge tend to overestimate their ability or knowledge. Some researchers also include in their definition the opposite effect for high performers: their tendency to underestimate their skills. The Dunning–Kruger effect is usually measured by comparing self-assessment with objective performance. For example, the participants in a study may be asked to complete a quiz and then estimate how well they performed. This subjective assessment is then compared with how well they actually performed. This can happen either in relative or in absolute terms, i.e., in comparison with one's peer group as the percentage of peers outperformed or in comparison with objective standards as the number of questions answered correctly. The Dunning–Kruger effect appears in both cases but is more pronounced in relative terms: the bottom quartile of performers tend to see themselves as being part of the top two quartiles. The initial study was published by David Dunning and Justin Kruger in 1999. It focused on logical reasoning, grammar, and social skills. Since then, various other studies have been conducted across a wide range of tasks. These include skills from fields such as business, politics, medicine, driving, aviation, spatial memory, exams in school, and literacy. The Dunning–Kruger effect is usually explained in terms of meta-cognitive abilities. This approach is based on the idea that poor performers have not yet acquired the ability to distinguish between good and bad performances. They tend to overrate themselves because they do not see the qualitative difference between their performances and the performances of others. This has also been termed the "dual-burden account" since the lack of skill is paired with the ignorance of this lack. Some researchers include the meta-cognitive component as part of the definition of the Dunning–Kruger effect and not just as an explanation distinct from it.

  15959. How many of you are Fishermen and agree with the following points? XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections. regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.

  16342. Not only is this a desperate attempt to deflect from Trumps dire predicament but it is blatant war mongering. XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  16551.  @georgeyarbrough88  So if I ask a question you evade? You are pointless Straw Man A straw man (sometimes written as strawman) is a form of argument and an informal fallacy of having the impression of refuting an argument, whereas the real subject of the argument was not addressed or refuted, but instead replaced with a false one. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man". The typical straw man argument creates the illusion of having completely refuted or defeated an opponent's proposition through the covert replacement of it with a different proposition (i.e., "stand up a straw man") and the subsequent refutation of that false argument ("knock down a straw man") instead of the opponent's proposition. Straw man arguments have been used throughout history in polemical debate, particularly regarding highly charged emotional subjects. Straw man tactics in the United Kingdom may also be known as an Aunt Sally, after a pub game of the same name, where patrons throw sticks or battens at a post to knock off a skittle balanced on top. What Is Deflection? Psychology Explains This Defense Mechanism By: Samantha Dewitt Updated January 31, 2022 Medically Reviewed By: Aaron Horn Do you find yourself trying to hide the mistakes that you make or trying to push the blame for the things you do onto someone else? Maybe you find yourself doing this to protect yourself or to control someone else. It could be to appear better than you are, which can be considered a narcissistic trait, or it could be simply a coping strategy that you've learned or developed over time. Or, maybe you know someone who seems to have no problems placing anxiety or guilt on you. They seem to just practice denial, denial, denial, rather than taking any responsibility. There are several reasons that people develop a habit of deflection, but let's take a closer look at just what it is and what it means. What Is Deflection? In general, deflection means that you're passing something over to someone else in an attempt to draw the attention away from yourself. It is a psychological defense in which you deflect blame to others. When you were younger, you may have deflected the blame for a negative activity by pointing out a different negative activity your sibling did. This is to avoid dealing with negative consequences. But, this behavior can be long term and can become a psychological defense mechanism. As you got older, you might have tried to pass the blame for a bad report to a different coworker. You may have tried to get out of looking bad by trying to say that it was someone else who did it. All of these things are examples of deflection. -----------

It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  16685.  @quirk8841  Straw Man A straw man (sometimes written as strawman) is a form of argument and an informal fallacy of having the impression of refuting an argument, whereas the real subject of the argument was not addressed or refuted, but instead replaced with a false one. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man". The typical straw man argument creates the illusion of having completely refuted or defeated an opponent's proposition through the covert replacement of it with a different proposition (i.e., "stand up a straw man") and the subsequent refutation of that false argument ("knock down a straw man") instead of the opponent's proposition. Straw man arguments have been used throughout history in polemical debate, particularly regarding highly charged emotional subjects. Straw man tactics in the United Kingdom may also be known as an Aunt Sally, after a pub game of the same name, where patrons throw sticks or battens at a post to knock off a skittle balanced on top. -------------------------- Ad hominem Fallacious argumentative strategy that avoids genuine discussion of the topic by instead attacking the character, motive etc. of the person(s) associated with the argument Ad hominem (Latin for 'to the person'), short for argumentum ad hominem, refers to several types of arguments, some but not all of which are fallacious. Typically this term refers to a rhetorical strategy where the speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself.

  17008. Take the test you silly fisherman you? XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  17325.  @christianmungo2342  Oh dear I do. Why not humiliate me by explaining? Proving a negative or negative proof may refer to: Proving a negative, in the philosophic burden of proof Evidence of absence in general, such as evidence that there is no milk in a certain bowl Modus tollens, a logical proof Proof of impossibility, mathematics Russell's teapot, an analogy: inability to disprove does not prove Sometimes it is mistaken for an argument from ignorance, which is non-proof and a logical fallacy Argument from ignorance (from Latin: argumentum ad ignorantiam), also known as appeal to ignorance (in which ignorance represents "a lack of contrary evidence"), is a fallacy in informal logic. It asserts that a proposition is true because it has not yet been proven false or a proposition is false because it has not yet been proven true. This represents a type of false dichotomy in that it excludes the possibility that there may have been an insufficient investigation to prove that the proposition is either true or false. It also does not allow for the possibility that the answer is unknowable, only knowable in the future, or neither completely true nor completely false. In debates, appealing to ignorance is sometimes an attempt to shift the burden of proof. ------------------------- Straw Man A straw man (sometimes written as strawman) is a form of argument and an informal fallacy of having the impression of refuting an argument, whereas the real subject of the argument was not addressed or refuted, but instead replaced with a false one. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man". The typical straw man argument creates the illusion of having completely refuted or defeated an opponent's proposition through the covert replacement of it with a different proposition (i.e., "stand up a straw man") and the subsequent refutation of that false argument ("knock down a straw man") instead of the opponent's proposition. Straw man arguments have been used throughout history in polemical debate, particularly regarding highly charged emotional subjects. Straw man tactics in the United Kingdom may also be known as an Aunt Sally, after a pub game of the same name, where patrons throw sticks or battens at a post to knock off a skittle balanced on top.

  17373.    This is what fisherman is - take the test dullard? XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  17803.  @johnhoran9840  The full description - try again fascist! XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  18149.  @williamevans6522  Subject is oil or rather the lack of it? Straw Man A straw man (sometimes written as strawman) is a form of argument and an informal fallacy of having the impression of refuting an argument, whereas the real subject of the argument was not addressed or refuted, but instead replaced with a false one. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man". The typical straw man argument creates the illusion of having completely refuted or defeated an opponent's proposition through the covert replacement of it with a different proposition (i.e., "stand up a straw man") and the subsequent refutation of that false argument ("knock down a straw man") instead of the opponent's proposition. Straw man arguments have been used throughout history in polemical debate, particularly regarding highly charged emotional subjects. Straw man tactics in the United Kingdom may also be known as an Aunt Sally, after a pub game of the same name, where patrons throw sticks or battens at a post to knock off a skittle balanced on top. -------------------------- Ad hominem Fallacious argumentative strategy that avoids genuine discussion of the topic by instead attacking the character, motive etc. of the person(s) associated with the argument Ad hominem (Latin for 'to the person'), short for argumentum ad hominem, refers to several types of arguments, some but not all of which are fallacious. Typically this term refers to a rhetorical strategy where the speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself.

  18725.  @ricksanchez9798  If unproven - it is worthless - being hidden is irrelevant. Are the Government hiding the fact there is no proof that giant Israeli space lasers caused US wildfires? No proof is nothing - why hide nothing? Cognitive dissonance In the field of psychology, cognitive dissonance is the perception of contradictory information. Relevant items of information include a person's actions, feelings, ideas, beliefs, values, and things in the environment. Cognitive dissonance is typically experienced as psychological stress when persons participate in an action that goes against one or more of those things. According to this theory, when two actions or ideas are not psychologically consistent with each other, people do all in their power to change them until they become consistent. The discomfort is triggered by the person's belief clashing with new information perceived, wherein the individual tries to find a way to resolve the contradiction to reduce their discomfort. Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms or supports one's prior beliefs or values. People display this bias when they select information that supports their views, ignoring contrary information, or when they interpret ambiguous evidence as supporting their existing attitudes. The effect is strongest for desired outcomes, for emotionally charged issues, and for deeply entrenched beliefs. Confirmation bias cannot be eliminated, but it can be managed, for example, by education and training in critical thinking skills.

  19138. Are Fisherman Democrats or Republicans? XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  19332.  @jeffepstein4138  You do not have to be a Democrat to dislike Trump. Just sane. What does the world think of Trump? Global agenda 31 January 2020 What does the world think of Trump? Global agenda 31 January 2020 US President Donald Trump’s ratings around the world remain low, according to research by the Pew Research Center. Trump’s foreign policies receive little support and public opinion around the globe shows little confidence in him. Richard Wike, director of global attitudes research at the Pew Research Center, reveals which countries like and dislike Trump the most – and which American policies made him lose popularity. Wike presented his research findings at an event hosted at Esade and organised by the Pew Research Center and the American Chamber of Commerce in Spain. VIDEO TRANSCRIPT Richard Wike: The report looks at public opinion around the world about the United States, President Trump and American policies. The study shows that President Trump remains unpopular. When compared to his predecessor Barak Obama, Trump’s ratings are generally much lower. These negative attitudes towards President Trump impact on how people think about the US. Some of the most negative attitudes towards President Trump are among some of America’s closest allies in Europe and elsewhere. Countries like Spain, the UK, France and Germany are very negative towards Trump, and these are nations where President Obama had very high ratings. Countries like Spain, the UK, France and Germany are very negative towards Trump You also see negative attitudes towards Trump outside Europe. There are some exceptions – he gets good ratings in the Philippines and Israel, but the broad global pattern is negative for President Trump. Which countries are most anti-Trump? We see high levels of anti-Trump feeling in a number of European countries. Germany, for example, is very negative towards President Trump. You see this in Western Europe and elsewhere. The country that gives President Trump his lowest ratings is Mexico The country that gives President Trump his lowest ratings is Mexico. And that’s been true in our survey for three years in a row. His proposal to build a wall on the border is very unpopular among Mexicans. There are other things he has done that make him unpopular in Mexico – and this is the country where he gets his lowest ratings. How are Trump's ratings compared to other leaders? 2020 We asked about other world leaders – including Angela Merkel in Germany, President Macron in France, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping. Merkel gets the highest ratings, followed by President Macron, and then negative ratings for Putin and Xi. But the most negative ratings in the survey are for President Trump. People globally have less confidence in him than in other leaders. Some of the Trump administration’s major policies are largely unpopular around the globe How popular are Trump's policies around the globe? Some of the Trump administration’s major policies are largely unpopular around the globe. For example, his policies to increase tariffs, withdraw from the Paris climate agreement and withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal. All these decisions are broadly unpopular and our data shows that a lot of opposition is generated when the US pulls back from international commitments. On policies like trade, immigration and climate people see the US pulling back and they are generally opposed. When we look at Spain and Western Europe, we see some of the biggest changes over the last couple of years in how people think about the United States. President Obama was especially popular in Western Europe – and now it is where President Trump gets some of his lowest ratings.

  19358.  @geoffhuffman7510  Pentagon Blasted for 'Unacceptable Failure' to Reckon With Civilian Casualties "For too long, the United States has failed to live up to its legal and moral commitments to the protection of civilians, as well as its own stated policies. This needs to change." BRETT WILKINS December 2, 2021 Days after U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered a new investigation into a clandestine airstrike that killed scores of Syrian noncombatants whose deaths were subsequently covered up, 24 advocacy groups on Wednesday published an open letter calling on the Pentagon to "reckon with U.S.-caused civilian casualties and commit to urgent reforms." "We urge you to... commit to finally implementing structural changes to prioritize civilian protection and accountability for civilian harm." The letter, addressed to Austin, expresses "grave concerns" about the Pentagon's "civilian harm policies and practices and their impact," citing an August 29 drone strike in Kabul, Afghanistan that killed 10 civilians including an aid worker and seven children, as well as a March 18, 2019 airstrike in Baghuz, Syria in which around 70 civilians died and was "flagged as a possible war crime by at least one Defense Department lawyer." "These strikes, and the Defense Department's record of civilian harm over the past 20 years, illustrate an unacceptable failure to prioritize civilian protection in the use of lethal force; meaningfully investigate, acknowledge, and provide amends when harm occurs; and provide accountability in the event of wrongdoing," the signers continue. While determining the exact number of civilians killed during 21 years of the U.S.-led so-called War on Terror is impossible given that the United States doesn't "do body counts" or, in many cases, adequately investigate who has been harmed by airstrikes and other attacks, the Costs of War Project at Brown University's Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs says 900,000 noncombatants have died. Other groups contend that number could be perhaps twice as high.

  19496.  @dealvaabel6710  XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  19906.  @tenpoint243  Try and say something original? Something I have to search for a reply to, rather than my draw of responses to dullards? What Is Deflection? In general, deflection means that you're passing something over to someone else in an attempt to draw the attention away from yourself. It is a psychological defense in which you deflect blame to others. When you were younger, you may have deflected the blame for a negative activity by pointing out a different negative activity your sibling did. This is to avoid dealing with negative consequences. But, this behavior can be long term and can become a psychological defense mechanism. As you got older, you might have tried to pass the blame for a bad report to a different coworker. You may have tried to get out of looking bad by trying to say that it was someone else who did it. All of these things are examples of deflection. ----------- What is Projection? Deflection is commonly grouped with the term projection. Projection, like deflection, is where you place blame on others. But, with projection, you place unwanted feelings onto others. These can be feelings of anxiety, guilt, shame, and other negative emotions. According to an article from Healthline, projecting is where you place your own behaviors on others. Their article uses the example of a cheating spouse who accuses their spouse of infidelity. Either way, someone who deflects or projects may have a super ego and struggle to accept reality. These defense mechanisms can be incredibly harmful to the people around you, and can lead to a toxic relationship. --------------

  20018.  @2ndMostEndangeredGender  troll 1. a person who makes a deliberately offensive or provocative online post: "one solution is to make a troll's postings invisible to the rest of community once they've been recognized" 2. make a deliberately offensive or provocative online post with the aim of upsetting someone or eliciting an angry response from them: "if people are obviously trolling then I'll delete your posts and do my best to ban you" Cognitive dissonance In the field of psychology, cognitive dissonance is the perception of contradictory information. Relevant items of information include a person's actions, feelings, ideas, beliefs, values, and things in the environment. Cognitive dissonance is typically experienced as psychological stress when persons participate in an action that goes against one or more of those things. According to this theory, when two actions or ideas are not psychologically consistent with each other, people do all in their power to change them until they become consistent. The discomfort is triggered by the person's belief clashing with new information perceived, wherein the individual tries to find a way to resolve the contradiction to reduce their discomfort. Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms or supports one's prior beliefs or values. People display this bias when they select information that supports their views, ignoring contrary information, or when they interpret ambiguous evidence as supporting their existing attitudes. The effect is strongest for desired outcomes, for emotionally charged issues, and for deeply entrenched beliefs. Confirmation bias cannot be eliminated, but it can be managed, for example, by education and training in critical thinking skills.

  20074. MAGA folk are fishermen - simple as that. XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulatio

  20418. Who are the fishermen? XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  21130.  @jasonkasprowicz8583  You never deviate from one or more of the following. Cognitive dissonance In the field of psychology, cognitive dissonance is the perception of contradictory information. Relevant items of information include a person's actions, feelings, ideas, beliefs, values, and things in the environment. Cognitive dissonance is typically experienced as psychological stress when persons participate in an action that goes against one or more of those things. According to this theory, when two actions or ideas are not psychologically consistent with each other, people do all in their power to change them until they become consistent. The discomfort is triggered by the person's belief clashing with new information perceived, wherein the individual tries to find a way to resolve the contradiction to reduce their discomfort. Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms or supports one's prior beliefs or values. People display this bias when they select information that supports their views, ignoring contrary information, or when they interpret ambiguous evidence as supporting their existing attitudes. The effect is strongest for desired outcomes, for emotionally charged issues, and for deeply entrenched beliefs. Confirmation bias cannot be eliminated, but it can be managed, for example, by education and training in critical thinking skills. Proving a negative or negative proof may refer to: Proving a negative, in the philosophic burden of proof Evidence of absence in general, such as evidence that there is no milk in a certain bowl Modus tollens, a logical proof Proof of impossibility, mathematics Russell's teapot, an analogy: inability to disprove does not prove Sometimes it is mistaken for an argument from ignorance, which is non-proof and a logical fallacy Argument from ignorance (from Latin: argumentum ad ignorantiam), also known as appeal to ignorance (in which ignorance represents "a lack of contrary evidence"), is a fallacy in informal logic. It asserts that a proposition is true because it has not yet been proven false or a proposition is false because it has not yet been proven true. This represents a type of false dichotomy in that it excludes the possibility that there may have been an insufficient investigation to prove that the proposition is either true or false. It also does not allow for the possibility that the answer is unknowable, only knowable in the future, or neither completely true nor completely false. In debates, appealing to ignorance is sometimes an attempt to shift the burden of proof. ------------------------- Straw Man A straw man (sometimes written as strawman) is a form of argument and an informal fallacy of having the impression of refuting an argument, whereas the real subject of the argument was not addressed or refuted, but instead replaced with a false one. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man". The typical straw man argument creates the illusion of having completely refuted or defeated an opponent's proposition through the covert replacement of it with a different proposition (i.e., "stand up a straw man") and the subsequent refutation of that false argument ("knock down a straw man") instead of the opponent's proposition. Straw man arguments have been used throughout history in polemical debate, particularly regarding highly charged emotional subjects. Straw man tactics in the United Kingdom may also be known as an Aunt Sally, after a pub game of the same name, where patrons throw sticks or battens at a post to knock off a skittle balanced on top. -------------------------- Ad hominem Fallacious argumentative strategy that avoids genuine discussion of the topic by instead attacking the character, motive etc. of the person(s) associated with the argument Ad hominem (Latin for 'to the person'), short for argumentum ad hominem, refers to several types of arguments, some but not all of which are fallacious. Typically this term refers to a rhetorical strategy where the speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself. ----------------------------- What Is Deflection? Psychology Explains This Defense Mechanism By: Samantha Dewitt Updated January 31, 2022 Medically Reviewed By: Aaron Horn Do you find yourself trying to hide the mistakes that you make or trying to push the blame for the things you do onto someone else? Maybe you find yourself doing this to protect yourself or to control someone else. It could be to appear better than you are, which can be considered a narcissistic trait, or it could be simply a coping strategy that you've learned or developed over time. Or, maybe you know someone who seems to have no problems placing anxiety or guilt on you. They seem to just practice denial, denial, denial, rather than taking any responsibility. There are several reasons that people develop a habit of deflection, but let's take a closer look at just what it is and what it means. ------------------ What Is Deflection? In general, deflection means that you're passing something over to someone else in an attempt to draw the attention away from yourself. It is a psychological defense in which you deflect blame to others. When you were younger, you may have deflected the blame for a negative activity by pointing out a different negative activity your sibling did. This is to avoid dealing with negative consequences. But, this behavior can be long term and can become a psychological defense mechanism. As you got older, you might have tried to pass the blame for a bad report to a different coworker. You may have tried to get out of looking bad by trying to say that it was someone else who did it. All of these things are examples of deflection. ----------- What is Projection? Deflection is commonly grouped with the term projection. Projection, like deflection, is where you place blame on others. But, with projection, you place unwanted feelings onto others. These can be feelings of anxiety, guilt, shame, and other negative emotions. According to an article from Healthline, projecting is where you place your own behaviors on others. Their article uses the example of a cheating spouse who accuses their spouse of infidelity. Either way, someone who deflects or projects may have a super ego and struggle to accept reality. These defense mechanisms can be incredibly harmful to the people around you, and can lead to a toxic relationship. --------------

  21267. Getting a COVID-19 vaccine isn’t just about you — it protects others in your life Author: Jonathan Parsons, MD Some people are hesitant to get a COVID-19 vaccine because they don’t believe their risk of having severe symptoms is very high. As a pulmonologist who sees many of our COVID-19 patients in the intensive care unit, I would say that this position is more than just risky — it’s a decision that affects others. The dangers of delta Currently, about 95% of our country’s COVID-19 cases are caused by the delta variant of SARS-CoV-2. This variant is different from previous strains in that it’s much more transmissible, and it’s also putting more young, healthy, fit people in the hospital. Some of these patients without any underlying conditions have even died. But 97% of the people hospitalized for COVID-19 in the U.S. right now are unvaccinated. Whether you’re young and healthy or you’re older and/or have underlying conditions that increase your risk for severe disease, the best way to prevent a serious case of COVID-19 right now is to get a COVID-19 vaccine. COVID-19 vaccines can reduce virus spread We are finding that, with the delta variant, even fully vaccinated people can become infected with the COVID-19 virus and spread it to others. However, fully vaccinated people are less likely to become infected and less likely to spread the virus to others on top of being significantly less likely to develop severe COVID-19 symptoms that would require hospitalization. Because the vaccine reduces your likelihood to pass the virus to others, getting a vaccine can help protect people around you — especially those who do have underlying health conditions that would make it harder for them to recover from severe disease. Getting immunized is important to being a good citizen Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is similar to getting vaccinated for other diseases in that it’s as much about protecting your community as it is about protecting yourself. Perhaps your immune system is able to handle a measles or flu diagnosis without threatening your life. But if you contracted one of those diseases and unintentionally passed it to your 90-year-old grandmother or to your newborn niece who’s too young to be vaccinated, would they be able to fight the virus as easily? The same concept can be applied to COVID-19. This is not just about you and your ability to fight disease in yourself. Help your brother. Your neighbor. In order for us to control this pandemic as a society, those who are eligible and able to get a COVID-19 vaccine need to get one as soon as possible.

  21273. Iran has told President Joe Biden to pay $1 trillion in damages caused by the U.S. sanctions as the White House gears up for nuclear talks with the regime. The Biden administration can hand over the mind-boggling amount as “reparation” or “investment” in the Iranian economy, regime’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif demanded on Sunday. Qatar’s state-funded broadcaster Al Jazeera reported the Iranian foreign minister’s demand: Unilateral sanctions imposed by the United States inflicted $1 trillion worth of damage on Iran’s economy and Tehran expects compensation, its foreign minister said. Mohammad Javad Zarif said on Sunday after the US takes action to restore Iran’s 2015 nuclear deal with world powers through lifting sanctions, Tehran will want to negotiate on the damages it has suffered. “When we meet, we will raise compensation,” Zarif told the Iranian state-owned news network PressTV in an hour-long interview. “Whether those compensations will take the form of reparation, or whether they take the form of investment, or whether they take the form of measures to prevent a repeat of what Trump did,” he said in reference to former US President Donald Trump. Trump unilaterally abandoned the nuclear deal in 2018 and imposed harsh, comprehensive sanctions that targeted all the sectors of Iran’s economy. According to Zarif, Trump reimposed 800 sanctions that were put on Iran before the nuclear deal and imposed 800 new ones, all of which need to be lifted before the US can return to the deal.

  21303.  @mrbasshole301  You got a pair, congratulations. 1. Proving a negative or negative proof may refer to: Proving a negative, in the philosophic burden of proof Evidence of absence in general, such as evidence that there is no milk in a certain bowl Modus tollens, a logical proof Proof of impossibility, mathematics Russell's teapot, an analogy: inability to disprove does not prove Sometimes it is mistaken for an argument from ignorance, which is non-proof and a logical fallacy Argument from ignorance (from Latin: argumentum ad ignorantiam), also known as appeal to ignorance (in which ignorance represents "a lack of contrary evidence"), is a fallacy in informal logic. It asserts that a proposition is true because it has not yet been proven false or a proposition is false because it has not yet been proven true. This represents a type of false dichotomy in that it excludes the possibility that there may have been an insufficient investigation to prove that the proposition is either true or false. It also does not allow for the possibility that the answer is unknowable, only knowable in the future, or neither completely true nor completely false. In debates, appealing to ignorance is sometimes an attempt to shift the burden of proof. 2. Ad hominem Fallacious argumentative strategy that avoids genuine discussion of the topic by instead attacking the character, motive etc. of the person(s) associated with the argument Ad hominem (Latin for 'to the person'), short for argumentum ad hominem, refers to several types of arguments, some but not all of which are fallacious. Typically this term refers to a rhetorical strategy where the speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself.

  21573.  @j29maniac  So you are not a fisherman? XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  21576.  @johnfinch9407  FYI troll 1. a person who makes a deliberately offensive or provocative online post: "one solution is to make a troll's postings invisible to the rest of community once they've been recognized" 2. make a deliberately offensive or provocative online post with the aim of upsetting someone or eliciting an angry response from them: "if people are obviously trolling then I'll delete your posts and do my best to ban you" In a parallel universe, your comment just caused a giant cartoon hammer to leap out of the screen of 10 million MAGA fascists electronic devices and batter them like in Tom and Jerry. Cognitive dissonance In the field of psychology, cognitive dissonance is the perception of contradictory information. Relevant items of information include a person's actions, feelings, ideas, beliefs, values, and things in the environment. Cognitive dissonance is typically experienced as psychological stress when persons participate in an action that goes against one or more of those things. According to this theory, when two actions or ideas are not psychologically consistent with each other, people do all in their power to change them until they become consistent. The discomfort is triggered by the person's belief clashing with new information perceived, wherein the individual tries to find a way to resolve the contradiction to reduce their discomfort. Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms or supports one's prior beliefs or values. People display this bias when they select information that supports their views, ignoring contrary information, or when they interpret ambiguous evidence as supporting their existing attitudes. The effect is strongest for desired outcomes, for emotionally charged issues, and for deeply entrenched beliefs. Confirmation bias cannot be eliminated, but it can be managed, for example, by education and training in critical thinking skills. Proving a negative or negative proof may refer to: Proving a negative, in the philosophic burden of proof Evidence of absence in general, such as evidence that there is no milk in a certain bowl Modus tollens, a logical proof Proof of impossibility, mathematics Russell's teapot, an analogy: inability to disprove does not prove Sometimes it is mistaken for an argument from ignorance, which is non-proof and a logical fallacy Argument from ignorance (from Latin: argumentum ad ignorantiam), also known as appeal to ignorance (in which ignorance represents "a lack of contrary evidence"), is a fallacy in informal logic. It asserts that a proposition is true because it has not yet been proven false or a proposition is false because it has not yet been proven true. This represents a type of false dichotomy in that it excludes the possibility that there may have been an insufficient investigation to prove that the proposition is either true or false. It also does not allow for the possibility that the answer is unknowable, only knowable in the future, or neither completely true nor completely false. In debates, appealing to ignorance is sometimes an attempt to shift the burden of proof. ------------------------- Straw Man A straw man (sometimes written as strawman) is a form of argument and an informal fallacy of having the impression of refuting an argument, whereas the real subject of the argument was not addressed or refuted, but instead replaced with a false one. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man". The typical straw man argument creates the illusion of having completely refuted or defeated an opponent's proposition through the covert replacement of it with a different proposition (i.e., "stand up a straw man") and the subsequent refutation of that false argument ("knock down a straw man") instead of the opponent's proposition. Straw man arguments have been used throughout history in polemical debate, particularly regarding highly charged emotional subjects. Straw man tactics in the United Kingdom may also be known as an Aunt Sally, after a pub game of the same name, where patrons throw sticks or battens at a post to knock off a skittle balanced on top. -------------------------- Ad hominem Fallacious argumentative strategy that avoids genuine discussion of the topic by instead attacking the character, motive etc. of the person(s) associated with the argument Ad hominem (Latin for 'to the person'), short for argumentum ad hominem, refers to several types of arguments, some but not all of which are fallacious. Typically this term refers to a rhetorical strategy where the speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself. ----------------------------- What Is Deflection? Psychology Explains This Defense Mechanism By: Samantha Dewitt Updated January 31, 2022 Medically Reviewed By: Aaron Horn Do you find yourself trying to hide the mistakes that you make or trying to push the blame for the things you do onto someone else? Maybe you find yourself doing this to protect yourself or to control someone else. It could be to appear better than you are, which can be considered a narcissistic trait, or it could be simply a coping strategy that you've learned or developed over time. Or, maybe you know someone who seems to have no problems placing anxiety or guilt on you. They seem to just practice denial, denial, denial, rather than taking any responsibility. There are several reasons that people develop a habit of deflection, but let's take a closer look at just what it is and what it means. ------------------ What Is Deflection? In general, deflection means that you're passing something over to someone else in an attempt to draw the attention away from yourself. It is a psychological defense in which you deflect blame to others. When you were younger, you may have deflected the blame for a negative activity by pointing out a different negative activity your sibling did. This is to avoid dealing with negative consequences. But, this behavior can be long term and can become a psychological defense mechanism. As you got older, you might have tried to pass the blame for a bad report to a different coworker. You may have tried to get out of looking bad by trying to say that it was someone else who did it. All of these things are examples of deflection. ----------- What is Projection? Deflection is commonly grouped with the term projection. Projection, like deflection, is where you place blame on others. But, with projection, you place unwanted feelings onto others. These can be feelings of anxiety, guilt, shame, and other negative emotions. According to an article from Healthline, projecting is where you place your own behaviors on others. Their article uses the example of a cheating spouse who accuses their spouse of infidelity. Either way, someone who deflects or projects may have a super ego and struggle to accept reality. These defense mechanisms can be incredibly harmful to the people around you, and can lead to a toxic relationship.

  21836.  @BH02377  XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  22082. Lies for cash? Former SCOTUS Law Clerk, Supreme Court Suicide Leaker’s Crime Will Backfire May 5, 2022 A Supreme Court leak case is being investigated by Marshal Supreme Court Police. An ex-SCOTUS legal clerk believes the unprecedented leakage of the draft opinion will be a major setback for the Left. Mike Davis is a former Clerk of Justice Neil Gorsuch and a former Senate Judiciary Committee attorney. He claims that the obstructionist move to stop justice from happening is unlikely to end in the way the Leftist leaker thinks. Washington D.C. and the U.S. are being invaded by the usual rental mobs that love abortion. Senators threaten to sue the justices over the draft ruling to force the Supreme Court majority to reconsider their decision and/or to help them in the midterm election. Politico illegally obtained Justice Samuel Alito’s draft opinion. Alito stated that Roe was wrong and “egregiously inaccurate from the beginning.” Roe and Casey didn’t bring about a national settlement on abortion. They have only provoked debate and deepened division. [emphasis added] Davis is now a member of the Article III Project and told me on KTTH Radio that the leak was “shocking,” embarrassing, shameful, probably illegal, and most likely illegal. We are currently investigating whether obstruction of justice charges will be brought against the person responsible. He says that the damage is already done. They explode in front of the Supreme Court. You can clearly see what you should preserve at that point. Davis claimed that they have done the most damage. According to Davis, this is the way forward. “I believe that the court should immediately issue an opinion reversing Roe & Casey even though it is per curium. This would be the best way to show the world that the Supreme Court is inimical to manipulation. He stated that they had done it before to ensure the independence and legitimacy of the Supreme Court. It was now time to rebuild them. He believes this is the only way to make sure that you are speaking up for Constitutional rights and expressing your opinion.

  22239.  @nojindoj2334  XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  22594. CLAIM: Former President Barack Obama took 30 million documents, many of them classified, to Chicago upon leaving the White House. AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. Obama administration records are exclusively held and maintained by the National Archives and Records Administration, the federal agency confirmed on Friday. Millions of unclassified documents were transferred after Obama left office to a NARA facility in Chicago, but neither Obama’s personal foundation nor the facility set to house his presidential memorabilia have control over those papers. THE FACTS: Amid mounting revelations surrounding the FBI’s search of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, a counternarrative pushed online — including by Trump himself — posits that Obama similarly kept possession of White House documents after his term of office. “President Barack Hussein Obama kept 33 million pages of documents, much of them classified. How many of them pertained to nuclear? Word is, lots!” Trump posted on Truth Social, the social network he founded, on Friday. “OBAMA TOOK 30 Million Documents when he left the WHITEHOUSE and No FBI RAID,” read one tweet posted Tuesday, the day after the FBI’s search, that had garnered almost 20,000 likes by Friday. But these records were given to NARA in 2017, upon the end of Obama’s term, and they remain in NARA’s sole custody, in accordance with federal law. Some 30 million documents were moved to a NARA-operated facility in the Chicago area, as the agency explained in a statement Friday, but none were classified. The administration’s classified documents are stored in a separate NARA facility in the Washington, D.C., area.

  22763. Take the test XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  23002.  @derekbaker777  Straw Man A straw man (sometimes written as strawman) is a form of argument and an informal fallacy of having the impression of refuting an argument, whereas the real subject of the argument was not addressed or refuted, but instead replaced with a false one. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man". The typical straw man argument creates the illusion of having completely refuted or defeated an opponent's proposition through the covert replacement of it with a different proposition (i.e., "stand up a straw man") and the subsequent refutation of that false argument ("knock down a straw man") instead of the opponent's proposition. Straw man arguments have been used throughout history in polemical debate, particularly regarding highly charged emotional subjects. Straw man tactics in the United Kingdom may also be known as an Aunt Sally, after a pub game of the same name, where patrons throw sticks or battens at a post to knock off a skittle balanced on top. -------------------------- Ad hominem Fallacious argumentative strategy that avoids genuine discussion of the topic by instead attacking the character, motive etc. of the person(s) associated with the argument Ad hominem (Latin for 'to the person'), short for argumentum ad hominem, refers to several types of arguments, some but not all of which are fallacious. Typically this term refers to a rhetorical strategy where the speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself.

  23451.  @ashlibabbitt1111  I must take you to task in calling Milo pepper a "half wit" Assuming the starting point of a whole wit, intact and functioning, I suspect we are dealing with a much smaller fraction or decimal. 1/4, 1/8 and even a 1/16 look most unlikely IMHO. Milo Pepper is therefore likely to be a 0.03125 of a wit (1/32nd) and a likely leader in the MAGAt movement due to his comparative soaring intellect. References Carlo Cipolla's five fundamental laws of stupidity: 1) Always and inevitably, everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation. 2) The probability that a certain person (will) be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person. 3) A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses. 4) Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular, non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places, and under any circumstances, to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake. 5) A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person. The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias whereby people with low ability, expertise, or experience regarding a certain type of a task or area of knowledge tend to overestimate their ability or knowledge. Some researchers also include in their definition the opposite effect for high performers: their tendency to underestimate their skills. The Dunning–Kruger effect is usually measured by comparing self-assessment with objective performance. For example, the participants in a study may be asked to complete a quiz and then estimate how well they performed. This subjective assessment is then compared with how well they actually performed. This can happen either in relative or in absolute terms, i.e., in comparison with one's peer group as the percentage of peers outperformed or in comparison with objective standards as the number of questions answered correctly. The Dunning–Kruger effect appears in both cases but is more pronounced in relative terms: the bottom quartile of performers tend to see themselves as being part of the top two quartiles. The initial study was published by David Dunning and Justin Kruger in 1999. It focused on logical reasoning, grammar, and social skills. Since then, various other studies have been conducted across a wide range of tasks. These include skills from fields such as business, politics, medicine, driving, aviation, spatial memory, exams in school, and literacy. The Dunning–Kruger effect is usually explained in terms of meta-cognitive abilities. This approach is based on the idea that poor performers have not yet acquired the ability to distinguish between good and bad performances. They tend to overrate themselves because they do not see the qualitative difference between their performances and the performances of others. This has also been termed the "dual-burden account" since the lack of skill is paired with the ignorance of this lack. Some researchers include the meta-cognitive component as part of the definition of the Dunning–Kruger effect and not just as an explanation distinct from it.

  23588. Then take the test? Tell me you disagree with the following? XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII.

Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media.

Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  24112. Please read Getting a COVID-19 vaccine isn’t just about you — it protects others in your life Author: Jonathan Parsons, MD Some people are hesitant to get a COVID-19 vaccine because they don’t believe their risk of having severe symptoms is very high. As a pulmonologist who sees many of our COVID-19 patients in the intensive care unit, I would say that this position is more than just risky — it’s a decision that affects others. The dangers of delta Currently, about 95% of our country’s COVID-19 cases are caused by the delta variant of SARS-CoV-2. This variant is different from previous strains in that it’s much more transmissible, and it’s also putting more young, healthy, fit people in the hospital. Some of these patients without any underlying conditions have even died. But 97% of the people hospitalized for COVID-19 in the U.S. right now are unvaccinated. Whether you’re young and healthy or you’re older and/or have underlying conditions that increase your risk for severe disease, the best way to prevent a serious case of COVID-19 right now is to get a COVID-19 vaccine. COVID-19 vaccines can reduce virus spread We are finding that, with the delta variant, even fully vaccinated people can become infected with the COVID-19 virus and spread it to others. However, fully vaccinated people are less likely to become infected and less likely to spread the virus to others on top of being significantly less likely to develop severe COVID-19 symptoms that would require hospitalization. Because the vaccine reduces your likelihood to pass the virus to others, getting a vaccine can help protect people around you — especially those who do have underlying health conditions that would make it harder for them to recover from severe disease. Getting immunized is important to being a good citizen Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is similar to getting vaccinated for other diseases in that it’s as much about protecting your community as it is about protecting yourself. Perhaps your immune system is able to handle a measles or flu diagnosis without threatening your life. But if you contracted one of those diseases and unintentionally passed it to your 90-year-old grandmother or to your newborn niece who’s too young to be vaccinated, would they be able to fight the virus as easily? The same concept can be applied to COVID-19. This is not just about you and your ability to fight disease in yourself. Help your brother. Your neighbor. In order for us to control this pandemic as a society, those who are eligible and able to get a COVID-19 vaccine need to get one as soon as possible.

  24270.  @willardtomer2058  Straw Man A straw man (sometimes written as strawman) is a form of argument and an informal fallacy of having the impression of refuting an argument, whereas the real subject of the argument was not addressed or refuted, but instead replaced with a false one. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man". The typical straw man argument creates the illusion of having completely refuted or defeated an opponent's proposition through the covert replacement of it with a different proposition (i.e., "stand up a straw man") and the subsequent refutation of that false argument ("knock down a straw man") instead of the opponent's proposition. Straw man arguments have been used throughout history in polemical debate, particularly regarding highly charged emotional subjects. Straw man tactics in the United Kingdom may also be known as an Aunt Sally, after a pub game of the same name, where patrons throw sticks or battens at a post to knock off a skittle balanced on top. -------------------------- Ad hominem Fallacious argumentative strategy that avoids genuine discussion of the topic by instead attacking the character, motive etc. of the person(s) associated with the argument Ad hominem (Latin for 'to the person'), short for argumentum ad hominem, refers to several types of arguments, some but not all of which are fallacious. Typically this term refers to a rhetorical strategy where the speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself.

  24280. President Donald Trump has made a number of misleading statements about his decision on Jan. 31 to impose travel restrictions related to the novel coronavirus epidemic. Trump has referred to the travel restrictions as a “travel ban.” There isn’t an outright ban, as there are exceptions, including for Americans and their family members. Trump said he was “bold” in imposing travel restrictions even though “everybody said, it’s too early, it’s too soon” and “a lot of people that work on this stuff almost exclusively” told him “don’t do it.” Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said the decision stemmed from “the uniform recommendations of the career public health officials here at HHS.” Trump said Democrats “loudly criticized and protested” his announced travel restrictions, and that they “called me a racist because I made that decision.” Trump is overstating Democratic opposition. None of the party’s congressional leaders and none of the Democratic candidates running for president have directly criticized that decision, though at least two Democrats have. Trump said the travel restrictions “saved a lot of lives” and reduced U.S. COVID-19 cases to “a very small number.” But experts say there isn’t enough data to make that determination. A study in the journal Science found the various travel limitations across the globe initially helped to slow the spread, but the number of cases worldwide rose anyway because the virus had already begun traveling undetected internationally.

Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  24330.  @audreybrown1257  Proving a negative or negative proof may refer to: Proving a negative, in the philosophic burden of proof Evidence of absence in general, such as evidence that there is no milk in a certain bowl Modus tollens, a logical proof Proof of impossibility, mathematics Russell's teapot, an analogy: inability to disprove does not prove Sometimes it is mistaken for an argument from ignorance, which is non-proof and a logical fallacy Argument from ignorance (from Latin: argumentum ad ignorantiam), also known as appeal to ignorance (in which ignorance represents "a lack of contrary evidence"), is a fallacy in informal logic. It asserts that a proposition is true because it has not yet been proven false or a proposition is false because it has not yet been proven true. This represents a type of false dichotomy in that it excludes the possibility that there may have been an insufficient investigation to prove that the proposition is either true or false. It also does not allow for the possibility that the answer is unknowable, only knowable in the future, or neither completely true nor completely false. In debates, appealing to ignorance is sometimes an attempt to shift the burden of proof. ------------------------- Straw Man A straw man (sometimes written as strawman) is a form of argument and an informal fallacy of having the impression of refuting an argument, whereas the real subject of the argument was not addressed or refuted, but instead replaced with a false one. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man". The typical straw man argument creates the illusion of having completely refuted or defeated an opponent's proposition through the covert replacement of it with a different proposition (i.e., "stand up a straw man") and the subsequent refutation of that false argument ("knock down a straw man") instead of the opponent's proposition. Straw man arguments have been used throughout history in polemical debate, particularly regarding highly charged emotional subjects. Straw man tactics in the United Kingdom may also be known as an Aunt Sally, after a pub game of the same name, where patrons throw sticks or battens at a post to knock off a skittle balanced on top. -------------------------- Ad hominem Fallacious argumentative strategy that avoids genuine discussion of the topic by instead attacking the character, motive etc. of the person(s) associated with the argument Ad hominem (Latin for 'to the person'), short for argumentum ad hominem, refers to several types of arguments, some but not all of which are fallacious. Typically this term refers to a rhetorical strategy where the speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself.

In general, deflection means that you're passing something over to someone else in an attempt to draw the attention away from yourself. It is a psychological defense in which you deflect blame to others. When you were younger, you may have deflected the blame for a negative activity by pointing out a different negative activity your sibling did. This is to avoid dealing with negative consequences. But, this behavior can be long term and can become a psychological defense mechanism. As you got older, you might have tried to pass the blame for a bad report to a different coworker. You may have tried to get out of looking bad by trying to say that it was someone else who did it. All of these things are examples of deflection.

  24581. XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII.

X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV.

  24760. MAGA is Fisherman XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  25154.  @primarilyprimate144  XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  25519.  @SteamvilleQuintet  You will complete the list below soon enough. troll 1. a person who makes a deliberately offensive or provocative online post: "one solution is to make a troll's postings invisible to the rest of community once they've been recognized" 2. make a deliberately offensive or provocative online post with the aim of upsetting someone or eliciting an angry response from them: "if people are obviously trolling then I'll delete your posts and do my best to ban you" In a parallel universe, your comment just caused a giant cartoon hammer to leap out of the screen of 10 million MAGA fascists electronic devices and batter them like in Tom and Jerry. Cognitive dissonance In the field of psychology, cognitive dissonance is the perception of contradictory information. Relevant items of information include a person's actions, feelings, ideas, beliefs, values, and things in the environment. Cognitive dissonance is typically experienced as psychological stress when persons participate in an action that goes against one or more of those things. According to this theory, when two actions or ideas are not psychologically consistent with each other, people do all in their power to change them until they become consistent. The discomfort is triggered by the person's belief clashing with new information perceived, wherein the individual tries to find a way to resolve the contradiction to reduce their discomfort. Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms or supports one's prior beliefs or values. People display this bias when they select information that supports their views, ignoring contrary information, or when they interpret ambiguous evidence as supporting their existing attitudes. The effect is strongest for desired outcomes, for emotionally charged issues, and for deeply entrenched beliefs. Confirmation bias cannot be eliminated, but it can be managed, for example, by education and training in critical thinking skills. Proving a negative or negative proof may refer to: Proving a negative, in the philosophic burden of proof Evidence of absence in general, such as evidence that there is no milk in a certain bowl Modus tollens, a logical proof Proof of impossibility, mathematics Russell's teapot, an analogy: inability to disprove does not prove Sometimes it is mistaken for an argument from ignorance, which is non-proof and a logical fallacy Argument from ignorance (from Latin: argumentum ad ignorantiam), also known as appeal to ignorance (in which ignorance represents "a lack of contrary evidence"), is a fallacy in informal logic. It asserts that a proposition is true because it has not yet been proven false or a proposition is false because it has not yet been proven true. This represents a type of false dichotomy in that it excludes the possibility that there may have been an insufficient investigation to prove that the proposition is either true or false. It also does not allow for the possibility that the answer is unknowable, only knowable in the future, or neither completely true nor completely false. In debates, appealing to ignorance is sometimes an attempt to shift the burden of proof. ------------------------- Straw Man A straw man (sometimes written as strawman) is a form of argument and an informal fallacy of having the impression of refuting an argument, whereas the real subject of the argument was not addressed or refuted, but instead replaced with a false one. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man". The typical straw man argument creates the illusion of having completely refuted or defeated an opponent's proposition through the covert replacement of it with a different proposition (i.e., "stand up a straw man") and the subsequent refutation of that false argument ("knock down a straw man") instead of the opponent's proposition. Straw man arguments have been used throughout history in polemical debate, particularly regarding highly charged emotional subjects. Straw man tactics in the United Kingdom may also be known as an Aunt Sally, after a pub game of the same name, where patrons throw sticks or battens at a post to knock off a skittle balanced on top. -------------------------- Ad hominem Fallacious argumentative strategy that avoids genuine discussion of the topic by instead attacking the character, motive etc. of the person(s) associated with the argument Ad hominem (Latin for 'to the person'), short for argumentum ad hominem, refers to several types of arguments, some but not all of which are fallacious. Typically this term refers to a rhetorical strategy where the speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself.

  25557. What you lose if you do something silly? American & International Corporations In China- NOTATION- even though this is a very long list of American and other foreign corporations in China, it is certainly not a complete listing. We have only included a few of the names you may recognize. This is a list of companies who either own factories, or have contract factories producing their products in China. Some of the companies produce 100% of their products there, and others only produce parts, or certain ingredients for their products. The list below is approximately 1% of the actual Corporate list. Companies such as Avon, GE, and AT&T for example, have been in China and manufacturing products for 20 to 30 years. Most American consumers simply had no idea. Previously their source was Japan. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ AT&T Abercrombe & Fitch Abbott Laboratories Acer Electronics Ademco Security Adidas ADI Security AGI- American Gem Institute AIG Financial Agrilink Foods, Inc.

  25651.  @swampfox5660  Having more than one account leads to the following paradox Proving a negative or negative proof may refer to: Proving a negative, in the philosophic burden of proof Evidence of absence in general, such as evidence that there is no milk in a certain bowl Modus tollens, a logical proof Proof of impossibility, mathematics Russell's teapot, an analogy: inability to disprove does not prove Sometimes it is mistaken for an argument from ignorance, which is non-proof and a logical fallacy Argument from ignorance (from Latin: argumentum ad ignorantiam), also known as appeal to ignorance (in which ignorance represents "a lack of contrary evidence"), is a fallacy in informal logic. It asserts that a proposition is true because it has not yet been proven false or a proposition is false because it has not yet been proven true. This represents a type of false dichotomy in that it excludes the possibility that there may have been an insufficient investigation to prove that the proposition is either true or false. It also does not allow for the possibility that the answer is unknowable, only knowable in the future, or neither completely true nor completely false. In debates, appealing to ignorance is sometimes an attempt to shift the burden of proof. Russell's teapot - Bertrand Russell - He wrote that if he were to assert, without offering proof, that a teapot, too small to be seen by telescopes, orbits the Sun somewhere in space between the Earth and Mars, he could not expect anyone to believe him solely because his assertion could not be proven wrong.

  25783. Swap out the word you used twice for "fishermen" and you have your answer? XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  25797. Trump Lied CLAIM: Former President Barack Obama took 30 million documents, many of them classified, to Chicago upon leaving the White House. AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. Obama administration records are exclusively held and maintained by the National Archives and Records Administration, the federal agency confirmed on Friday. Millions of unclassified documents were transferred after Obama left office to a NARA facility in Chicago, but neither Obama’s personal foundation nor the facility set to house his presidential memorabilia have control over those papers. THE FACTS: Amid mounting revelations surrounding the FBI’s search of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, a counternarrative pushed online — including by Trump himself — posits that Obama similarly kept possession of White House documents after his term of office. “President Barack Hussein Obama kept 33 million pages of documents, much of them classified. How many of them pertained to nuclear? Word is, lots!” Trump posted on Truth Social, the social network he founded, on Friday. “OBAMA TOOK 30 Million Documents when he left the WHITEHOUSE and No FBI RAID,” read one tweet posted Tuesday, the day after the FBI’s search, that had garnered almost 20,000 likes by Friday. But these records were given to NARA in 2017, upon the end of Obama’s term, and they remain in NARA’s sole custody, in accordance with federal law. Some 30 million documents were moved to a NARA-operated facility in the Chicago area, as the agency explained in a statement Friday, but none were classified. The administration’s classified documents are stored in a separate NARA facility in the Washington, D.C., area.

  26083. Listen to the presenters carefully? Are any of them say fishermen stuff? XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  26106. Please read Getting a COVID-19 vaccine isn’t just about you — it protects others in your life Author: Jonathan Parsons, MD Some people are hesitant to get a COVID-19 vaccine because they don’t believe their risk of having severe symptoms is very high. As a pulmonologist who sees many of our COVID-19 patients in the intensive care unit, I would say that this position is more than just risky — it’s a decision that affects others. The dangers of delta Currently, about 95% of our country’s COVID-19 cases are caused by the delta variant of SARS-CoV-2. This variant is different from previous strains in that it’s much more transmissible, and it’s also putting more young, healthy, fit people in the hospital. Some of these patients without any underlying conditions have even died. But 97% of the people hospitalized for COVID-19 in the U.S. right now are unvaccinated. Whether you’re young and healthy or you’re older and/or have underlying conditions that increase your risk for severe disease, the best way to prevent a serious case of COVID-19 right now is to get a COVID-19 vaccine. COVID-19 vaccines can reduce virus spread We are finding that, with the delta variant, even fully vaccinated people can become infected with the COVID-19 virus and spread it to others. However, fully vaccinated people are less likely to become infected and less likely to spread the virus to others on top of being significantly less likely to develop severe COVID-19 symptoms that would require hospitalization. Because the vaccine reduces your likelihood to pass the virus to others, getting a vaccine can help protect people around you — especially those who do have underlying health conditions that would make it harder for them to recover from severe disease. Getting immunized is important to being a good citizen Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is similar to getting vaccinated for other diseases in that it’s as much about protecting your community as it is about protecting yourself. Perhaps your immune system is able to handle a measles or flu diagnosis without threatening your life. But if you contracted one of those diseases and unintentionally passed it to your 90-year-old grandmother or to your newborn niece who’s too young to be vaccinated, would they be able to fight the virus as easily? The same concept can be applied to COVID-19. This is not just about you and your ability to fight disease in yourself. Help your brother. Your neighbor. In order for us to control this pandemic as a society, those who are eligible and able to get a COVID-19 vaccine need to get one as soon as possible.

  26628.  @Post-Trib  Have I mentioned, climate, green or any of that other woke sh1t? Simple math is all I have presented. What Is Deflection? In general, deflection means that you're passing something over to someone else in an attempt to draw the attention away from yourself. It is a psychological defense in which you deflect blame to others. When you were younger, you may have deflected the blame for a negative activity by pointing out a different negative activity your sibling did. This is to avoid dealing with negative consequences. But, this behavior can be long term and can become a psychological defense mechanism. As you got older, you might have tried to pass the blame for a bad report to a different coworker. You may have tried to get out of looking bad by trying to say that it was someone else who did it. All of these things are examples of deflection. ----------- What is Projection? Deflection is commonly grouped with the term projection. Projection, like deflection, is where you place blame on others. But, with projection, you place unwanted feelings onto others. These can be feelings of anxiety, guilt, shame, and other negative emotions. According to an article from Healthline, projecting is where you place your own behaviors on others. Their article uses the example of a cheating spouse who accuses their spouse of infidelity. Either way, someone who deflects or projects may have a super ego and struggle to accept reality. These defense mechanisms can be incredibly harmful to the people around you, and can lead to a toxic relationship.

  26705.  @Eric-xe8yg  OK, The folk in the first group, hats and flags, Republicans or Democrats? XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  26987. How many things do you agree with? XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  27437.  @canman5060  Thank you Vasili Arkhipov, the man who stopped nuclear war Edward WilsonThis article is more than 9 years old Fifty years ago, Arkhipov, a senior officer on the Soviet B-59 submarine, refused permission to launch its nuclear torpedo Vasili Arkhipov Vasili Arkhipov, who died in 1998 Sat 27 Oct 2012 11.00 BST 181 If you were born before 27 October 1962, Vasili Alexandrovich Arkhipov saved your life. It was the most dangerous day in history. An American spy plane had been shot down over Cuba while another U2 had got lost and strayed into Soviet airspace. As these dramas ratcheted tensions beyond breaking point, an American destroyer, the USS Beale, began to drop depth charges on the B-59, a Soviet submarine armed with a nuclear weapon. The captain of the B-59, Valentin Savitsky, had no way of knowing that the depth charges were non-lethal "practice" rounds intended as warning shots to force the B-59 to surface. The Beale was joined by other US destroyers who piled in to pummel the submerged B-59 with more explosives. The exhausted Savitsky assumed that his submarine was doomed and that world war three had broken out. He ordered the B-59's ten kiloton nuclear torpedo to be prepared for firing. Its target was the USS Randolf, the giant aircraft carrier leading the task force. Advertisement If the B-59's torpedo had vaporised the Randolf, the nuclear clouds would quickly have spread from sea to land. The first targets would have been Moscow, London, the airbases of East Anglia and troop concentrations in Germany. The next wave of bombs would have wiped out "economic targets", a euphemism for civilian populations – more than half the UK population would have died. Meanwhile, the Pentagon's SIOP, Single Integrated Operational Plan – a doomsday scenario that echoed Dr Strangelove's orgiastic Götterdämmerung – would have hurled 5,500 nuclear weapons against a thousand targets, including ones in non-belligerent states such as Albania and China.

  27448. @Uncle Sam Straw Man and Ad Hominem and a slice of deflection. Straw Man A straw man (sometimes written as strawman) is a form of argument and an informal fallacy of having the impression of refuting an argument, whereas the real subject of the argument was not addressed or refuted, but instead replaced with a false one. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man". The typical straw man argument creates the illusion of having completely refuted or defeated an opponent's proposition through the covert replacement of it with a different proposition (i.e., "stand up a straw man") and the subsequent refutation of that false argument ("knock down a straw man") instead of the opponent's proposition. Straw man arguments have been used throughout history in polemical debate, particularly regarding highly charged emotional subjects. Straw man tactics in the United Kingdom may also be known as an Aunt Sally, after a pub game of the same name, where patrons throw sticks or battens at a post to knock off a skittle balanced on top. -------------------------- Ad hominem Fallacious argumentative strategy that avoids genuine discussion of the topic by instead attacking the character, motive etc. of the person(s) associated with the argument Ad hominem (Latin for 'to the person'), short for argumentum ad hominem, refers to several types of arguments, some but not all of which are fallacious. Typically this term refers to a rhetorical strategy where the speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself. ----------------------------- What Is Deflection? Psychology Explains This Defense Mechanism By: Samantha Dewitt Updated January 31, 2022 Medically Reviewed By: Aaron Horn Do you find yourself trying to hide the mistakes that you make or trying to push the blame for the things you do onto someone else? Maybe you find yourself doing this to protect yourself or to control someone else. It could be to appear better than you are, which can be considered a narcissistic trait, or it could be simply a coping strategy that you've learned or developed over time. Or, maybe you know someone who seems to have no problems placing anxiety or guilt on you. They seem to just practice denial, denial, denial, rather than taking any responsibility. There are several reasons that people develop a habit of deflection, but let's take a closer look at just what it is and what it means.

  27683. Getting a COVID-19 vaccine isn’t just about you — it protects others in your life Author: Jonathan Parsons, MD Some people are hesitant to get a COVID-19 vaccine because they don’t believe their risk of having severe symptoms is very high. As a pulmonologist who sees many of our COVID-19 patients in the intensive care unit, I would say that this position is more than just risky — it’s a decision that affects others. The dangers of delta Currently, about 95% of our country’s COVID-19 cases are caused by the delta variant of SARS-CoV-2. This variant is different from previous strains in that it’s much more transmissible, and it’s also putting more young, healthy, fit people in the hospital. Some of these patients without any underlying conditions have even died. But 97% of the people hospitalized for COVID-19 in the U.S. right now are unvaccinated. Whether you’re young and healthy or you’re older and/or have underlying conditions that increase your risk for severe disease, the best way to prevent a serious case of COVID-19 right now is to get a COVID-19 vaccine. COVID-19 vaccines can reduce virus spread We are finding that, with the delta variant, even fully vaccinated people can become infected with the COVID-19 virus and spread it to others. However, fully vaccinated people are less likely to become infected and less likely to spread the virus to others on top of being significantly less likely to develop severe COVID-19 symptoms that would require hospitalization. Because the vaccine reduces your likelihood to pass the virus to others, getting a vaccine can help protect people around you — especially those who do have underlying health conditions that would make it harder for them to recover from severe disease. Getting immunized is important to being a good citizen Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is similar to getting vaccinated for other diseases in that it’s as much about protecting your community as it is about protecting yourself. Perhaps your immune system is able to handle a measles or flu diagnosis without threatening your life. But if you contracted one of those diseases and unintentionally passed it to your 90-year-old grandmother or to your newborn niece who’s too young to be vaccinated, would they be able to fight the virus as easily? The same concept can be applied to COVID-19. This is not just about you and your ability to fight disease in yourself. Help your brother. Your neighbor. In order for us to control this pandemic as a society, those who are eligible and able to get a COVID-19 vaccine need to get one as soon as possible.

Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI.

  28123. The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias whereby people with low ability, expertise, or experience regarding a certain type of a task or area of knowledge tend to overestimate their ability or knowledge. Some researchers also include in their definition the opposite effect for high performers: their tendency to underestimate their skills. The Dunning–Kruger effect is usually measured by comparing self-assessment with objective performance. For example, the participants in a study may be asked to complete a quiz and then estimate how well they performed. This subjective assessment is then compared with how well they actually performed. This can happen either in relative or in absolute terms, i.e., in comparison with one's peer group as the percentage of peers outperformed or in comparison with objective standards as the number of questions answered correctly. The Dunning–Kruger effect appears in both cases but is more pronounced in relative terms: the bottom quartile of performers tend to see themselves as being part of the top two quartiles. The initial study was published by David Dunning and Justin Kruger in 1999. It focused on logical reasoning, grammar, and social skills. Since then, various other studies have been conducted across a wide range of tasks. These include skills from fields such as business, politics, medicine, driving, aviation, spatial memory, exams in school, and literacy. The Dunning–Kruger effect is usually explained in terms of meta-cognitive abilities. This approach is based on the idea that poor performers have not yet acquired the ability to distinguish between good and bad performances. They tend to overrate themselves because they do not see the qualitative difference between their performances and the performances of others. This has also been termed the "dual-burden account" since the lack of skill is paired with the ignorance of this lack. Some researchers include the meta-cognitive component as part of the definition of the Dunning–Kruger effect and not just as an explanation distinct from it.

  28678. Take the test? Are you a fishermen? XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  28766. XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military 👈👈👈 Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  28992.  @jontesty1011  Straw Man A straw man (sometimes written as strawman) is a form of argument and an informal fallacy of having the impression of refuting an argument, whereas the real subject of the argument was not addressed or refuted, but instead replaced with a false one. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man". The typical straw man argument creates the illusion of having completely refuted or defeated an opponent's proposition through the covert replacement of it with a different proposition (i.e., "stand up a straw man") and the subsequent refutation of that false argument ("knock down a straw man") instead of the opponent's proposition. Straw man arguments have been used throughout history in polemical debate, particularly regarding highly charged emotional subjects. Straw man tactics in the United Kingdom may also be known as an Aunt Sally, after a pub game of the same name, where patrons throw sticks or battens at a post to knock off a skittle balanced on top. -------------------------- Ad hominem Fallacious argumentative strategy that avoids genuine discussion of the topic by instead attacking the character, motive etc. of the person(s) associated with the argument Ad hominem (Latin for 'to the person'), short for argumentum ad hominem, refers to several types of arguments, some but not all of which are fallacious. Typically this term refers to a rhetorical strategy where the speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself.

  29231.  @TheHopetown  The first one - MAGAt's or Dems XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  29246. Getting a COVID-19 vaccine isn’t just about you — it protects others in your life Author: Jonathan Parsons, MD Some people are hesitant to get a COVID-19 vaccine because they don’t believe their risk of having severe symptoms is very high. As a pulmonologist who sees many of our COVID-19 patients in the intensive care unit, I would say that this position is more than just risky — it’s a decision that affects others. The dangers of delta Currently, about 95% of our country’s COVID-19 cases are caused by the delta variant of SARS-CoV-2. This variant is different from previous strains in that it’s much more transmissible, and it’s also putting more young, healthy, fit people in the hospital. Some of these patients without any underlying conditions have even died. But 97% of the people hospitalized for COVID-19 in the U.S. right now are unvaccinated. Whether you’re young and healthy or you’re older and/or have underlying conditions that increase your risk for severe disease, the best way to prevent a serious case of COVID-19 right now is to get a COVID-19 vaccine. COVID-19 vaccines can reduce virus spread We are finding that, with the delta variant, even fully vaccinated people can become infected with the COVID-19 virus and spread it to others. However, fully vaccinated people are less likely to become infected and less likely to spread the virus to others on top of being significantly less likely to develop severe COVID-19 symptoms that would require hospitalization. Because the vaccine reduces your likelihood to pass the virus to others, getting a vaccine can help protect people around you — especially those who do have underlying health conditions that would make it harder for them to recover from severe disease. Getting immunized is important to being a good citizen Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is similar to getting vaccinated for other diseases in that it’s as much about protecting your community as it is about protecting yourself. Perhaps your immune system is able to handle a measles or flu diagnosis without threatening your life. But if you contracted one of those diseases and unintentionally passed it to your 90-year-old grandmother or to your newborn niece who’s too young to be vaccinated, would they be able to fight the virus as easily? The same concept can be applied to COVID-19. This is not just about you and your ability to fight disease in yourself. Help your brother. Your neighbor. In order for us to control this pandemic as a society, those who are eligible and able to get a COVID-19 vaccine need to get one as soon as possible.

  29725.  @Wiseguyy007  In support of your comments, hopefully. XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  29854.  @Craigalicioususa  You are terminally stupid MAGAt "Donald Trump made more than 30,000 false or misleading statements during his four years as president of the United States, analysis suggests. The astounding figure, which roughly equates to 21 false statements per day (or 20.94 to be precise) of his tenure at the White House" Cognitive dissonance In the field of psychology, cognitive dissonance is the perception of contradictory information. Relevant items of information include a person's actions, feelings, ideas, beliefs, values, and things in the environment. Cognitive dissonance is typically experienced as psychological stress when persons participate in an action that goes against one or more of those things. According to this theory, when two actions or ideas are not psychologically consistent with each other, people do all in their power to change them until they become consistent. The discomfort is triggered by the person's belief clashing with new information perceived, wherein the individual tries to find a way to resolve the contradiction to reduce their discomfort. Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms or supports one's prior beliefs or values. People display this bias when they select information that supports their views, ignoring contrary information, or when they interpret ambiguous evidence as supporting their existing attitudes. The effect is strongest for desired outcomes, for emotionally charged issues, and for deeply entrenched beliefs. Confirmation bias cannot be eliminated, but it can be managed, for example, by education and training in critical thinking skills. (Select text in quotes and search dullard!)

  30062. Getting a COVID-19 vaccine isn’t just about you — it protects others in your life Author: Jonathan Parsons, MD Some people are hesitant to get a COVID-19 vaccine because they don’t believe their risk of having severe symptoms is very high. As a pulmonologist who sees many of our COVID-19 patients in the intensive care unit, I would say that this position is more than just risky — it’s a decision that affects others. The dangers of delta Currently, about 95% of our country’s COVID-19 cases are caused by the delta variant of SARS-CoV-2. This variant is different from previous strains in that it’s much more transmissible, and it’s also putting more young, healthy, fit people in the hospital. Some of these patients without any underlying conditions have even died. But 97% of the people hospitalized for COVID-19 in the U.S. right now are unvaccinated. Whether you’re young and healthy or you’re older and/or have underlying conditions that increase your risk for severe disease, the best way to prevent a serious case of COVID-19 right now is to get a COVID-19 vaccine. COVID-19 vaccines can reduce virus spread We are finding that, with the delta variant, even fully vaccinated people can become infected with the COVID-19 virus and spread it to others. However, fully vaccinated people are less likely to become infected and less likely to spread the virus to others on top of being significantly less likely to develop severe COVID-19 symptoms that would require hospitalization. Because the vaccine reduces your likelihood to pass the virus to others, getting a vaccine can help protect people around you — especially those who do have underlying health conditions that would make it harder for them to recover from severe disease. Getting immunized is important to being a good citizen Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is similar to getting vaccinated for other diseases in that it’s as much about protecting your community as it is about protecting yourself. Perhaps your immune system is able to handle a measles or flu diagnosis without threatening your life. But if you contracted one of those diseases and unintentionally passed it to your 90-year-old grandmother or to your newborn niece who’s too young to be vaccinated, would they be able to fight the virus as easily? The same concept can be applied to COVID-19. This is not just about you and your ability to fight disease in yourself. Help your brother. Your neighbor. In order for us to control this pandemic as a society, those who are eligible and able to get a COVID-19 vaccine need to get one as soon as possible.

  30258.  @swampfox5660  You are a fascist. The cult stops you seeing it. XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  30617.  @johnmichaels4172  What follows are shared characteristics, established by an Historian in 2003, of fascist regimes Germany, Italy, Spain Chile etc. XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  31093. Do you agree with fishermen? XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  31479. Fox are Fishermen - Try finding a report without one or more of the following as the message? XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  31545.  @gypsypath1  So very sad on so many levels - go away! troll 1. a person who makes a deliberately offensive or provocative online post: "one solution is to make a troll's postings invisible to the rest of community once they've been recognized" 2. make a deliberately offensive or provocative online post with the aim of upsetting someone or eliciting an angry response from them: "if people are obviously trolling then I'll delete your posts and do my best to ban you" Cognitive dissonance In the field of psychology, cognitive dissonance is the perception of contradictory information. Relevant items of information include a person's actions, feelings, ideas, beliefs, values, and things in the environment. Cognitive dissonance is typically experienced as psychological stress when persons participate in an action that goes against one or more of those things. According to this theory, when two actions or ideas are not psychologically consistent with each other, people do all in their power to change them until they become consistent. The discomfort is triggered by the person's belief clashing with new information perceived, wherein the individual tries to find a way to resolve the contradiction to reduce their discomfort. Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms or supports one's prior beliefs or values. People display this bias when they select information that supports their views, ignoring contrary information, or when they interpret ambiguous evidence as supporting their existing attitudes. The effect is strongest for desired outcomes, for emotionally charged issues, and for deeply entrenched beliefs. Confirmation bias cannot be eliminated, but it can be managed, for example, by education and training in critical thinking skills. Ad hominem Fallacious argumentative strategy that avoids genuine discussion of the topic by instead attacking the character, motive etc. of the person(s) associated with the argument Ad hominem (Latin for 'to the person'), short for argumentum ad hominem, refers to several types of arguments, some but not all of which are fallacious. Typically this term refers to a rhetorical strategy where the speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself.

  31936. Take the fishermen test? XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  32228. The US is a murderous hypocritical bunch of B'Stards 1 or 900,000 ?!!! OR MORE December 2, 2021 Days after U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered a new investigation into a clandestine airstrike that killed scores of Syrian noncombatants whose deaths were subsequently covered up, 24 advocacy groups on Wednesday published an open letter calling on the Pentagon to "reckon with U.S.-caused civilian casualties and commit to urgent reforms." "We urge you to... commit to finally implementing structural changes to prioritize civilian protection and accountability for civilian harm." The letter, addressed to Austin, expresses "grave concerns" about the Pentagon's "civilian harm policies and practices and their impact," citing an August 29 drone strike in Kabul, Afghanistan that killed 10 civilians including an aid worker and seven children, as well as a March 18, 2019 airstrike in Baghuz, Syria in which around 70 civilians died and was "flagged as a possible war crime by at least one Defense Department lawyer." "These strikes, and the Defense Department's record of civilian harm over the past 20 years, illustrate an unacceptable failure to prioritize civilian protection in the use of lethal force; meaningfully investigate, acknowledge, and provide amends when harm occurs; and provide accountability in the event of wrongdoing," the signers continue. While determining the exact number of civilians killed during 21 years of the U.S.-led so-called War on Terror is impossible given that the United States doesn't "do body counts" or, in many cases, adequately investigate who has been harmed by airstrikes and other attacks, the Costs of War Project at Brown University's Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs says 900,000 noncombatants have died. Other groups contend that number could be perhaps twice as high.

Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  32593. And 13 other characteristics XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  32905.  @China_Secret_Police  Last paragraph Hey, Hey, USA! How Many Bombs Did You Drop Today? The U.S. military and allied air forces have dropped over 337,000 bombs and missiles on other countries over the last 20 years. That is an average of 46 strikes per day for two decades. Enough. MEDEA BENJAMIN, NICOLAS J.S. DAVIES January 10, 2022 The Pentagon has finally published its first Airpower Summary since President Biden took office nearly a year ago. These monthly reports have been published since 2007 to document the number of bombs and missiles dropped by U.S.-led air forces in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria since 2004. But President Trump stopped publishing them after February 2020, shrouding continued U.S. bombing in secrecy. "The failure of the U.S. government, politicians and corporate media to honestly inform and educate the American public about the systematic mass destruction wreaked by our country’s armed forces has allowed this carnage to continue largely unremarked and unchecked for 20 years." Over the past 20 years, as documented in the table below, U.S. and allied air forces have dropped over 337,000 bombs and missiles on other countries. That is an average of 46 strikes per day for 20 years. This endless bombardment has not only been deadly and devastating for its victims but is broadly recognized as seriously undermining international peace and security and diminishing America’s standing in the world. The U.S. government and political establishment have been remarkably successful at keeping the American public in the dark about the horrific consequences of these long-term campaigns of mass destruction, allowing them to maintain the illusion of U.S. militarism as a force for good in the world in their domestic political rhetoric.

  33093.  @im2tweaked  Back on topic, with the OP Crime Families# Frederick Christ Trump Sr. (October 11, 1905 – June 25, 1999) was an American real estate developer and businessman. A member of the Trump family, he was the father of Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States. In partnership with his mother, Elizabeth Christ Trump, Fred began a career in home construction and sales. Their real estate development company was incorporated as E. Trump & Son in 1927 (later called the Fred Trump Organization). It grew to build and manage single-family houses in Queens, barracks and garden apartments for U.S. Navy personnel near major shipyards along the East Coast, and more than 27,000 apartments in New York City. Trump was investigated by a U.S. Senate committee for profiteering in 1954, and again by the State of New York in 1966. Donald became the president of his father's real estate business in 1971, and they were sued by the U.S. Justice Department's Civil Rights Division for violating the Fair Housing Act in 1973; in the case settlement, the Trumps were ordered to take several measures to curb racial discrimination. For decades following World War II, Trump concealed his German ancestry (instead claiming Swedish heritage) to avoid associations with Nazism in light of the Holocaust. He also supported Jewish causes. During Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, reports of Fred Trump's arrest at a 1927 Ku Klux Klan parade resurfaced. As president, Donald repeatedly and falsely claimed that his father was born in Germany.

It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections. regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.

  33339. Take the test? XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11.

Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  33766. FYI - US 58% people fully vaccinated. Germany's health minister has issued his starkest warning yet on the importance of getting vaccinated. "By the end of this winter everyone in Germany will either be vaccinated, recovered or dead," Jens Spahn told a news conference in Berlin on Monday. Germany is in the grip of a fourth wave of coronavirus. Cases are rising rapidly and many hospitals are full. It has one of the lowest vaccination rates in Western Europe, with 68% of people fully vaccinated. Germany’s Fourth Covid Wave: ‘A Pandemic of the Unvaccinated’ Germany once set an example for how to manage the coronavirus. Now, deep pockets of vaccine resistance are helping drive daily infections to new heights. By Katrin Bennhold Nov. 11, 2021 BERLIN — The University Hospital of Giessen, one of Germany’s foremost clinics for pulmonary disease, is at capacity. The number of Covid-19 patients has tripled in recent weeks. Nearly half of them are on ventilators. And every single one is unvaccinated. “I ask every patient: Why didn’t you get vaccinated?” said Dr. Susanne Herold, head of infectious diseases, after her daily round on the ward on Thursday. “It’s a mix of people who distrust the vaccine, distrust the state and are often difficult to reach by public information campaigns.” Patients like hers are the main drivers of a fourth wave of Covid-19 cases in Germany that has produced tens of thousands of new daily infections — more than the country has had at any point in the pandemic.

  34358.  @MrHaShBaSh1988  How the CIA funded, armed and trained the Mujahideen, Osama Bin Laden and created Al Qaeda and ISIS? Biden withdrew, for which he was applauded globally, and has massively reduced US drone strikes and bombings. While determining the exact number of civilians killed during 21 years of the U.S.-led so-called War on Terror is impossible given that the United States doesn't "do body counts" or, in many cases, adequately investigate who has been harmed by airstrikes and other attacks, the Costs of War Project at Brown University's Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs says 900,000 noncombatants have died. Other groups contend that number could be perhaps twice as high. Hey, Hey, USA! How Many Bombs Did You Drop Today? The U.S. military and allied air forces have dropped over 337,000 bombs and missiles on other countries over the last 20 years. That is an average of 46 strikes per day for two decades. Enough. MEDEA BENJAMIN, NICOLAS J.S. DAVIES January 10, 2022 The Pentagon has finally published its first Airpower Summary since President Biden took office nearly a year ago. These monthly reports have been published since 2007 to document the number of bombs and missiles dropped by U.S.-led air forces in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria since 2004. But President Trump stopped publishing them after February 2020, shrouding continued U.S. bombing in secrecy. "The failure of the U.S. government, politicians and corporate media to honestly inform and educate the American public about the systematic mass destruction wreaked by our country’s armed forces has allowed this carnage to continue largely unremarked and unchecked for 20 years." Over the past 20 years, as documented in the table below, U.S. and allied air forces have dropped over 337,000 bombs and missiles on other countries. That is an average of 46 strikes per day for 20 years. This endless bombardment has not only been deadly and devastating for its victims but is broadly recognized as seriously undermining international peace and security and diminishing America’s standing in the world.

  34422.  @rahbuh1625  Yahoo Finance Nov4 The Biden administration unveiled two vaccination rules on Thursday that will soon impact 100 million U.S. workers and their employers. The first rule, which goes into effect on January 4th, requires companies with 100 or more employees to ensure that their workers are fully vaccinated against Covid-19 or that they test negative for COVID-19 at least once a week. The second requires health care workers to be vaccinated by the same deadline with no option for testing. Importantly, the vaccine mandate does not apply to employees who “do not report to a workplace where other co-workers or customers are present, or who work exclusively from home," notes labor and employment lawyer Keith Wilkes, a partner and shareholder at law firm Hall Estill. That means that OSHA will not require fully remote employees at companies like Facebook, Twitter, Dropbox, Ford, and Slack, which have allowed some employees to work from home, to report proof of vaccination or take weekly COVID tests—so long as they stay away from the office. If an unvaccinated employee has been teleworking for two weeks or more but must report to their office, where other employees will be present, they will need show proof of a negative COVID test within the seven days prior to visiting. Employers have 60 days until they must comply with the rules, but a long list of legal and reporting preparations await them. Employers will have to establish a compliant written policy on vaccination, determine the vaccination status of each employee, obtain acceptable proof of vaccination, provide support for employees who still need vaccination, create and enforce mask policies for those who are unvaccinated, and make certain records available to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, who is enforci.................

  34485. You are fascists XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  34673. Close your boarders for 20 years and pull your 800+ military bases to within those boarders Pentagon Blasted for 'Unacceptable Failure' to Reckon With Civilian Casualties "For too long, the United States has failed to live up to its legal and moral commitments to the protection of civilians, as well as its own stated policies. This needs to change." BRETT WILKINS December 2, 2021 Days after U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered a new investigation into a clandestine airstrike that killed scores of Syrian noncombatants whose deaths were subsequently covered up, 24 advocacy groups on Wednesday published an open letter calling on the Pentagon to "reckon with U.S.-caused civilian casualties and commit to urgent reforms." "We urge you to... commit to finally implementing structural changes to prioritize civilian protection and accountability for civilian harm." The letter, addressed to Austin, expresses "grave concerns" about the Pentagon's "civilian harm policies and practices and their impact," citing an August 29 drone strike in Kabul, Afghanistan that killed 10 civilians including an aid worker and seven children, as well as a March 18, 2019 airstrike in Baghuz, Syria in which around 70 civilians died and was "flagged as a possible war crime by at least one Defense Department lawyer." "These strikes, and the Defense Department's record of civilian harm over the past 20 years, illustrate an unacceptable failure to prioritize civilian protection in the use of lethal force; meaningfully investigate, acknowledge, and provide amends when harm occurs; and provide accountability in the event of wrongdoing," the signers continue. While determining the exact number of civilians killed during 21 years of the U.S.-led so-called War on Terror is impossible given that the United States doesn't "do body counts" or, in many cases, adequately investigate who has been harmed by airstrikes and other attacks, the Costs of War Project at Brown University's Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs says 900,000 noncombatants have died. Other groups contend that number could be perhaps twice as high.

  35140. This Crime Family? Frederick Christ Trump Sr. (October 11, 1905 – June 25, 1999) was an American real estate developer and businessman. A member of the Trump family, he was the father of Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States. In partnership with his mother, Elizabeth Christ Trump, Fred began a career in home construction and sales. Their real estate development company was incorporated as E. Trump & Son in 1927 (later called the Fred Trump Organization). It grew to build and manage single-family houses in Queens, barracks and garden apartments for U.S. Navy personnel near major shipyards along the East Coast, and more than 27,000 apartments in New York City. Trump was investigated by a U.S. Senate committee for profiteering in 1954, and again by the State of New York in 1966. Donald became the president of his father's real estate business in 1971, and they were sued by the U.S. Justice Department's Civil Rights Division for violating the Fair Housing Act in 1973; in the case settlement, the Trumps were ordered to take several measures to curb racial discrimination. For decades following World War II, Trump concealed his German ancestry (instead claiming Swedish heritage) to avoid associations with Nazism in light of the Holocaust. He also supported Jewish causes. During Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, reports of Fred Trump's arrest at a 1927 Ku Klux Klan parade resurfaced. As president, Donald repeatedly and falsely claimed that his father was born in Germany.

  35170. Are you a fisherman? XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  35428. Fishermen stuff then? XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  35864.  RYV24  Try this XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  36012.  @paddymacmurphy8112  Proof Trolling answer Proving a negative or negative proof may refer to: Proving a negative, in the philosophic burden of proof Evidence of absence in general, such as evidence that there is no milk in a certain bowl Modus tollens, a logical proof Proof of impossibility, mathematics Russell's teapot, an analogy: inability to disprove does not prove Sometimes it is mistaken for an argument from ignorance, which is non-proof and a logical fallacy Argument from ignorance (from Latin: argumentum ad ignorantiam), also known as appeal to ignorance (in which ignorance represents "a lack of contrary evidence"), is a fallacy in informal logic. It asserts that a proposition is true because it has not yet been proven false or a proposition is false because it has not yet been proven true. This represents a type of false dichotomy in that it excludes the possibility that there may have been an insufficient investigation to prove that the proposition is either true or false. It also does not allow for the possibility that the answer is unknowable, only knowable in the future, or neither completely true nor completely false. In debates, appealing to ignorance is sometimes an attempt to shift the burden of proof. Straw Man A straw man (sometimes written as strawman) is a form of argument and an informal fallacy of having the impression of refuting an argument, whereas the real subject of the argument was not addressed or refuted, but instead replaced with a false one. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man". The typical straw man argument creates the illusion of having completely refuted or defeated an opponent's proposition through the covert replacement of it with a different proposition (i.e., "stand up a straw man") and the subsequent refutation of that false argument ("knock down a straw man") instead of the opponent's proposition. Straw man arguments have been used throughout history in polemical debate, particularly regarding highly charged emotional subjects.

Straw man tactics in the United Kingdom may also be known as an Aunt Sally, after a pub game of the same name, where patrons throw sticks or battens at a post to knock off a skittle balanced on top. -------------------------- Ad hominem Fallacious argumentative strategy that avoids genuine discussion of the topic by instead attacking the character, motive etc. of the person(s) associated with the argument Ad hominem (Latin for 'to the person'), short for argumentum ad hominem, refers to several types of arguments, some but not all of which are fallacious. Typically this term refers to a rhetorical strategy where the speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself.

Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected.

Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives.

Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI.

  36306.  @TCGaming4fun  Straw Man A straw man (sometimes written as strawman) is a form of argument and an informal fallacy of having the impression of refuting an argument, whereas the real subject of the argument was not addressed or refuted, but instead replaced with a false one. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man". The typical straw man argument creates the illusion of having completely refuted or defeated an opponent's proposition through the covert replacement of it with a different proposition (i.e., "stand up a straw man") and the subsequent refutation of that false argument ("knock down a straw man") instead of the opponent's proposition. Straw man arguments have been used throughout history in polemical debate, particularly regarding highly charged emotional subjects. Straw man tactics in the United Kingdom may also be known as an Aunt Sally, after a pub game of the same name, where patrons throw sticks or battens at a post to knock off a skittle balanced on top. -------------------------- Ad hominem Fallacious argumentative strategy that avoids genuine discussion of the topic by instead attacking the character, motive etc. of the person(s) associated with the argument Ad hominem (Latin for 'to the person'), short for argumentum ad hominem, refers to several types of arguments, some but not all of which are fallacious. Typically this term refers to a rhetorical strategy where the speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself.

  36422.  @FaithwalkerTodd  The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias whereby people with low ability, expertise, or experience regarding a certain type of a task or area of knowledge tend to overestimate their ability or knowledge. Some researchers also include in their definition the opposite effect for high performers: their tendency to underestimate their skills. The Dunning–Kruger effect is usually measured by comparing self-assessment with objective performance. For example, the participants in a study may be asked to complete a quiz and then estimate how well they performed. This subjective assessment is then compared with how well they actually performed. This can happen either in relative or in absolute terms, i.e., in comparison with one's peer group as the percentage of peers outperformed or in comparison with objective standards as the number of questions answered correctly. The Dunning–Kruger effect appears in both cases but is more pronounced in relative terms: the bottom quartile of performers tend to see themselves as being part of the top two quartiles. The initial study was published by David Dunning and Justin Kruger in 1999. It focused on logical reasoning, grammar, and social skills. Since then, various other studies have been conducted across a wide range of tasks. These include skills from fields such as business, politics, medicine, driving, aviation, spatial memory, exams in school, and literacy. The Dunning–Kruger effect is usually explained in terms of meta-cognitive abilities. This approach is based on the idea that poor performers have not yet acquired the ability to distinguish between good and bad performances. They tend to overrate themselves because they do not see the qualitative difference between their performances and the performances of others. This has also been termed the "dual-burden account" since the lack of skill is paired with the ignorance of this lack. Some researchers include the meta-cognitive component as part of the definition of the Dunning–Kruger effect and not just as an explanation distinct from it.

  36597. I and IV # XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI.

  36683.  @rosscowell8000  Twat THE FACTS: Amid mounting revelations surrounding the FBI’s search of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, a counternarrative pushed online — including by Trump himself — posits that Obama similarly kept possession of White House documents after his term of office. “President Barack Hussein Obama kept 33 million pages of documents, much of them classified. How many of them pertained to nuclear? Word is, lots!” Trump posted on Truth Social, the social network he founded, on Friday. “OBAMA TOOK 30 Million Documents when he left the WHITEHOUSE and No FBI RAID,” read one tweet posted Tuesday, the day after the FBI’s search, that had garnered almost 20,000 likes by Friday. But these records were given to NARA in 2017, upon the end of Obama’s term, and they remain in NARA’s sole custody, in accordance with federal law. Some 30 million documents were moved to a NARA-operated facility in the Chicago area, as the agency explained in a statement Friday, but none were classified. The administration’s classified documents are stored in a separate NARA facility in the Washington, D.C., area. Presidential libraries are managed by NARA, and the documents therein belong to the agency, which also manages related public records requests. But the Obama Presidential Library has no physical location; it’s the first to be wholly virtual. Some 95 percent of Obama administration documents were “born digital,” meaning they have no “hard-copy” version and don’t need to be digitized, per NARA. Separately, construction began in 2021 on the Obama Presidential Center, a complex in Chicago managed by the privately-run Obama Foundation. But because the center will not be affiliated with NARA, the Obama Foundation will need to request to borrow any artifacts or records intended for display there from the government. The foundation did provide funding to NARA for digitizing the Obama administration’s paper documents, but NARA itself is responsible for actually handling them, according to the agency.

  37492.  @wben7833  Interesting? Number 1 covered what about the rest? XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  37793.  @royrogers3404  XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  37993.  @henryaviation2582  Fabricated Evidence Powell played an intercept of a conversation between Iraqi army officers about the U.N. inspections. However, when he translated what they were saying, he knowingly embellished it, turning it from evidence Iraq was complying with U.N. resolutions to evidence Iraq was violating them. This appears in Bob Woodward’s book “Plan of Attack”: Powell had decided to add his personal interpretation of the intercepts to the rehearsed script, taking them substantially further and casting them in the most negative light. … Concerning the intercept about inspecting for the possibility of “forbidden ammo,” Powell took the interpretation further: “Clean out all of the areas. … Make sure there is nothing there.” None of this was in the intercept. Here’s the conversation as Powell presented it at the U.N. The bold sections were modified by Powell: POWELL: “They’re inspecting the ammunition you have, yes.” “Yes.” “For the possibility there are forbidden ammo.” “For the possibility there is by chance forbidden ammo?” “Yes.” “And we sent you a message yesterday to clean out all of the areas, the scrap areas, the abandoned areas. Make sure there is nothing there.” Powell then explained: This is all part of a system of hiding things and moving things out of the way and making sure they have left nothing behind. According to the official State Department translation (and confirmed for me by Imad Khadduri), the Iraqi soldier merely said: “And we sent you a message to inspect the scrap areas and the abandoned areas.”

  38208. How many things do you agree with? XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  38464.  @opossumsrawesome6860  Straw Man A straw man (sometimes written as strawman) is a form of argument and an informal fallacy of having the impression of refuting an argument, whereas the real subject of the argument was not addressed or refuted, but instead replaced with a false one. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man". The typical straw man argument creates the illusion of having completely refuted or defeated an opponent's proposition through the covert replacement of it with a different proposition (i.e., "stand up a straw man") and the subsequent refutation of that false argument ("knock down a straw man") instead of the opponent's proposition. Straw man arguments have been used throughout history in polemical debate, particularly regarding highly charged emotional subjects. Straw man tactics in the United Kingdom may also be known as an Aunt Sally, after a pub game of the same name, where patrons throw sticks or battens at a post to knock off a skittle balanced on top. -------------------------- Ad hominem Fallacious argumentative strategy that avoids genuine discussion of the topic by instead attacking the character, motive etc. of the person(s) associated with the argument Ad hominem (Latin for 'to the person'), short for argumentum ad hominem, refers to several types of arguments, some but not all of which are fallacious. Typically this term refers to a rhetorical strategy where the speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself.

  38643. So, why is China so good at table tennis? There are obviously a large number of reasons why China is so good at table tennis. It can’t be put down to one single factor or secret that only the Chinese employ. It’s also worth pointing out that research investigating the role of genetics in sport has found no evidence of certain races being genetically predisposed to excel at a certain type of sport. So we can rule that out as well. Here are some of the most compelling explanations for China’s table tennis dominance (in my opinion)… Huge depth of talent: If you saw any of the recent Chinese National Championships (2012) you may have been surprised to see that the men’s final was between Zhou Yu and Fang Bo. Haven’t heard of them? Well that’s because they’re ranked 85th and 69th, in the world, respectively. Nineteen year old, Zhou Yu was the eventual winner, also beating Ma Lin and Zhang Jike on his way to the final. The depth of talent available in the Chinese National Training Centre is unbelievable. Many European countries have one single truly ‘world-class’ player but China seem to have more than they can count. This leads to many moving abroad to play for other countries while some stay in China in the hope of one day getting their break into the national team. This depth of talent creates an atmosphere where nobody is safe. The top players don’t have the option of being able to ‘take it easy’ or the security to know they will be selected, no matter how they are currently playing. Therefore all players are fighting to improve and excel. The top players are fighting to keep their spot in the team while the younger or lower ranked players are pushing for a place. This creates a massive ‘growth atmosphere’ and keeps all players motivated to work extremely hard. Ruthless selection methods: China have a reputation for being absolutely ruthless when selecting players for their national team. If older players are not performing they can be thrown out and replaced by younger talent almost immediately. I’ve met one international (ex-Chinese) player who grew up in the Chinese national system only to be discarded on becoming a senior as his “body composition made him likely to struggle with injuries”. Their methods have been likened to those used by Soviet countries twenty or thirty years ago, but they work! The Chinese national programme does not waste time or money on players that are unlikely to make it. Whether that is because they are injury-ridden, lack mental toughness or just don’t get on with the other players and coaches. Their resources are distributed to the players that are currently the best in the world, or those with the potential to reach that one day. Players that are good but unlikely to ever really ‘make it’ are removed from the process. Intensive training I guess this is slightly less important as all top international players are training full-time and working very hard but it’s still worth mentioning. The Chinese table tennis team work extremely hard. Ultimately that is why they are the best. They put in a huge amount of quantity and quality practice. This usually takes the form of seven hour days, six days a week. Training incorporates regular practice with a partner, multiball training, service practice and physical (off-table) training. Individual practice partners In most national set-ups the players practice together in their teams. It wasn’t until I read Larry Hodges’ post that I realised that this isn’t the case in China. In China, the players all have individual practice partners to work with. This means that instead of having to share exercises, the players can spend the whole session working solely on the things they need to improve. china ping pong training centerApparently, these professional practice partners go even further and train themselves to mimic the styles of other international players. So one practice partner may spend hours watching Timo Boll in an attempt to play in his style and then when a member of the Chinese team has Timo Boll to play they choose to practice with the ‘Timo-style’ practice partner. Pretty unbelievable really. If that’s not enough, they also sometimes have two practice partners working as a team against one player. If you’re the best player in the world, then it’s going to be hard (actually impossible) to find someone to practice with who is better than you. Well, the Chinese have found a way, by getting two practice partners to form a team. One plays forehand, the other backhand. After lots of practice working together they become stronger, as a team, than even the best player in the world! Now you can ‘play up’ even if you’re the world number 1! Psychological and tactical support staff All national set-ups will have sport psychologists that are able to work with the athletes to help them improve their mental game. However, in China this is taken to a whole different level. The psychologists are table tennis experts. This enables them to link their mental skills training programmes with tactical plans, making it all completely relevant to table tennis. The Chinese also have a huge team of analysts and support staff whose job it is to watch the best, non-Chinese, players in the world and find the weaknesses in their games. They analyse all day, every day and the information is given to the coaches, players and practice partners to use in training. Early-specialization and talent identification Chinese children are tested for sports skills at a very young age. If they appear particularly talented they are moved to specialist sports schools for table tennis and badminton from the age of 5. From as young as twelve, Chinese players can become full-time sportspeople and drop out of school altogether. Whether this type of selection at such a young age is ethical, or even possible in other countries is a different question, but you can’t disagree that it’s working. The Chinese technique A huge emphasis is put on learning ‘correct technique’ in China. Young players will do the same basic strokes over and over again until they are almost robotic. This type of practice may seem ‘boring’ but it is so important to get all the basics in place first. I was coached by a number of Chinese coaches on a summer training camp and I was surprised by how much time they spent going over the basics with us. I thought that we would be learning all about tactics, advanced shots and patterns of play but instead we spent most of our time learning how to play forehands and backhands ‘better’. By the end of the week we were much stronger players because of it, may I add. Conclusion So there are seven reasons why China is so good at table tennis. I’m sure there are more that I’ve missed. Leave a comment if you spot anything. I think it’s good to see the ‘Chinese method’ affecting all levels of development. From learning correct technique and moving to a specialist sports school as a child, to receiving an individual practice partner as a senior national player. They really are great strides ahead of the rest of the world, in all areas. Can we ever catch up the Chinese? That’s another question.

  38819.  @feffygracie  Where I start from. XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

  39175.  @tammyvanwinkle8870  Run away LOSER! Straw Man or Ad Hominem? Straw Man A straw man (sometimes written as strawman) is a form of argument and an informal fallacy of having the impression of refuting an argument, whereas the real subject of the argument was not addressed or refuted, but instead replaced with a false one. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man". The typical straw man argument creates the illusion of having completely refuted or defeated an opponent's proposition through the covert replacement of it with a different proposition (i.e., "stand up a straw man") and the subsequent refutation of that false argument ("knock down a straw man") instead of the opponent's proposition. Straw man arguments have been used throughout history in polemical debate, particularly regarding highly charged emotional subjects. Straw man tactics in the United Kingdom may also be known as an Aunt Sally, after a pub game of the same name, where patrons throw sticks or battens at a post to knock off a skittle balanced on top. -------------------------- Ad hominem Fallacious argumentative strategy that avoids genuine discussion of the topic by instead attacking the character, motive etc. of the person(s) associated with the argument Ad hominem (Latin for 'to the person'), short for argumentum ad hominem, refers to several types of arguments, some but not all of which are fallacious. Typically this term refers to a rhetorical strategy where the speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself. -----------------------------

  39198.  @tammyvanwinkle8870  troll 1. a person who makes a deliberately offensive or provocative online post: "one solution is to make a troll's postings invisible to the rest of community once they've been recognized" 2. make a deliberately offensive or provocative online post with the aim of upsetting someone or eliciting an angry response from them: "if people are obviously trolling then I'll delete your posts and do my best to ban you" Proving a negative or negative proof may refer to: Proving a negative, in the philosophic burden of proof Evidence of absence in general, such as evidence that there is no milk in a certain bowl Modus tollens, a logical proof Proof of impossibility, mathematics Russell's teapot, an analogy: inability to disprove does not prove Sometimes it is mistaken for an argument from ignorance, which is non-proof and a logical fallacy Argument from ignorance (from Latin: argumentum ad ignorantiam), also known as appeal to ignorance (in which ignorance represents "a lack of contrary evidence"), is a fallacy in informal logic. It asserts that a proposition is true because it has not yet been proven false or a proposition is false because it has not yet been proven true. This represents a type of false dichotomy in that it excludes the possibility that there may have been an insufficient investigation to prove that the proposition is either true or false. It also does not allow for the possibility that the answer is unknowable, only knowable in the future, or neither completely true nor completely false. In debates, appealing to ignorance is sometimes an attempt to shift the burden of proof.

  39603.  @johnwelch615  FYI ------------------------- Straw Man A straw man (sometimes written as strawman) is a form of argument and an informal fallacy of having the impression of refuting an argument, whereas the real subject of the argument was not addressed or refuted, but instead replaced with a false one. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man". The typical straw man argument creates the illusion of having completely refuted or defeated an opponent's proposition through the covert replacement of it with a different proposition (i.e., "stand up a straw man") and the subsequent refutation of that false argument ("knock down a straw man") instead of the opponent's proposition. Straw man arguments have been used throughout history in polemical debate, particularly regarding highly charged emotional subjects. Straw man tactics in the United Kingdom may also be known as an Aunt Sally, after a pub game of the same name, where patrons throw sticks or battens at a post to knock off a skittle balanced on top. -------------------------- Ad hominem Fallacious argumentative strategy that avoids genuine discussion of the topic by instead attacking the character, motive etc. of the person(s) associated with the argument Ad hominem (Latin for 'to the person'), short for argumentum ad hominem, refers to several types of arguments, some but not all of which are fallacious. Typically this term refers to a rhetorical strategy where the speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself. -----------------------------

  39770. How Fishermen works XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections. regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.

  40012.  @shodanrich3317  “The classification and declassification of government documents, and the system created to accomplish that, is derived from the President’s authority as commander-in-chief, not from a law passed by Congress. … A very legitimate example of an exercise of the president’s declassification authority is this: suppose the president is about to have a bilateral meeting with another head of state somewhere, and wants to share classified information with that president in the best interests of the United States and its relationship with that other nation’s government. Many classified documents bear the express marking “NOFORN”—i.e., it may not be shared with any foreign national. Undoubtably, a U.S. president has the authority to make a unilateral and summary decision to share that information with his or her foreign counterpart without following the normal and very cumbersome process for declassifying documents or information Part and parcel of any act of declassification is communicating that act to all others who possess the same information, across all federal agencies. This point holds true regardless of whether the information exists in a document, an email, a power point presentation, and even in a government official’s mental awareness. Otherwise, what would be the point of a legitimate declassification?” This makes sense to me on multiple levels (both logical and bureaucratic). If the point of classification is ultimately information control, then it’s critical to have a system to track that information’s status (Johnson notes earlier in the article that “it is important to note that documents themselves are not classified; it is the substance of the information contained therein that is classified.”)

Miss Poling is autistic and was compensated by the government through the vaccine-court system. Online discussions usually end up going around in circles with people explaining why the concession doesn’t mean the government has stated that vaccines cause autism, and the other side saying “but it does”. Well, the Court has clarified the situation. Here is a footnote from the decision in Brian Hooker’s case. I am well aware, of course, that during the years since the “test cases” were decided, in two cases involving vaccinees suffering from ASDs, Vaccine Act compensation was granted. But in neither of those cases did the Respondent concede, nor did a special master find, that there was any “causation-in-fact” connection between a vaccination and the vaccinee’s ASD. Instead, in both cases it was conceded or found that the vaccinee displayed the symptoms of a Table Injury within the Table time frame after vaccination. (See Section I above). In Poling v. HHS, the presiding special master clarified that the family was compensated because the Respondent conceded that the Poling child had suffered a Table Injury–not because the Respondent or the special master had concluded that any vaccination had contributed to causing or aggravating the child’s ASD. See Poling v. HHS, No. 02-1466V, 2011 WL 678559, at *1 (Fed. Cir Spec. Mstr. Jan. 28, 2011) (a fees decision, but noting specifically that the case was compensated as a Table Injury). Second, in Wright v. HHS, No. 12-423, 2015 WL 6665600 (Fed. Cl. Spec. Mstr. Sept. 21, 2015), Special Master Vowell concluded that a child, later diagnosed with ASD, suffered a “Table Injury” after a vaccination. However, she stressed that she was not finding that the vaccinee’s ASD in that case was “caused-in-fact” by the vaccination–to the contrary, she specifically found that the evidence in that case did not support a “causation-in-fact” claim, going so far as to remark that the petitioners’ “causation-in-fact” theory in that case was “absurd.” Wright v. HHS, No. 12-423, 2015 WL 6665600, at *2 (Fed. Cl. Spec. Mstr. Sept. 21, 2015). The compensation of these two cases, thus does not afford any support to the notion that vaccinations can contribute to the causation of autism. In setting up the Vaccine Act compensation system, Congress forthrightly acknowledged that the Table Injury presumptions would result in compensation for some injuries that were not, in fact, truly vaccine-caused. H.R. Rept. No. 99-908, 18, 1986 U.S.C.C.A.N. 6344, 6359. (“The Committee recognizes that there is public debate over the incidence of illnesses that coincidentally occur within a short time of vaccination. The Committee further recognizes that the deeming of a vaccine-relatedness adopted here may provide compensation to some children whose illness is not, in fact, vaccine related.”

  40268. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm) I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. IV. Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. V. Rampant Sexism The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy. VI. Controlled Mass Media Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. VII. Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. IX. Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. X. Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. XIV. Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.
