A Populace Conditioned to Accept Contradictions Is Easily Manipulated
It’s the hottest, snowiest season on record - if you believe the New York Times, a former newspaper
It’s the hottest, snowiest season on record - if you believe the New York Times, a former newspaper.
On January 2nd the NYT published this piece …
And then, just 10 days later, the same news source published this …
So what gives at the schizophrenic New York Times?
Well, the beauty of climate change is that it can be used to claim anything.
Drought?
That’s climate change.
Floods?
That’s climate change too.
Bushfires?
Also climate change.
Snow?
You already know the answer.
And all we need to fix the climate is around $100b a year, deposited into the UN coffers by taxpayers in Western nations.
Unelected, unaccountable, unrepresentative UN officials will then redistribute the money as they see fit which, incidentally, makes them very, very powerful.
Snow. Drought. Floods. Fires. When you are selling a narrative, facts (much less consistency) don’t matter a bit!
You’d think the obvious contradictions would destroy the entire charade. But we now have a populace training to embrace contradictions.
The same celebrity who says gender is a social construct celebrates her pregnancy with a social media post saying “It’s a girl”.
The same politician who says a woman is anyone who identifies as a woman is also a staunch advocate for women’s rights.
The same activists who claim that sexual orientation is an immutable, unchangeable fact argue that biological sex is fluid.
Journalists stand in front of violent BLM riots and assure us they are “mostly peaceful protests”.
We have been trained to just go along with contradictions, not worrying much about whether or not anything we are told makes any sense.
And so politicians, media, activists - none of them feel any shame holding two completely contradictory positions at the same time. In a post truth world, they are confident that the majority no longer care, or even notice.
It’s been happening for far too long and it is so frustrating that so many just accept these things without even a whimper.
We have to fight back at every opportunity and call out the lies and misinformation whenever they appear.
I know there is a lot of eye rolling among my family and friends when I point out the obvious truths compared with the obvious lies in today’s world but a few of them, while they agree, still would rather not know about it.
Captured the present state of play perfectly James. As John Anderson opined in his latest excellent conversation with Matthew Goodwin, how have the so-called intelligentsia fallen for these hypocrisy and contradictions. Maybe high IQ, but little EQ and absolutely no common-sense. It must be about ego and power. No BS meter or pub test.
So much of this folly is obviously BS to the layman.
Australia needs a political disrupter to boldly call it out.
You do a great job James, and News Ltd, but you are preaching to the converted. If LNP politicians stick their head above the parapet, they get it cut off.
