17:34		+++ Ekko has given voice to Ebele
17:34	Ebele	I promise to never speak political correctness while I am here.
17:34		*** perchek joined #politics
17:34	Ebele	I have a question for those people who are in the Trump cult.
17:35	Ebele	As you see the Nunes memo turning into a clear con by the future criminal Devin Nunes, how do you feel?
17:35		+++ Ekko has given voice to perchek
17:35	perchek	hi friends!
17:35	Ebele	Does part of you realize your frenzy last week was hysteria? Do you double down? Do you just get distracted and move onto the next piece of distraction created by the right-wing media ecosystem?
17:36	Ebele	Does anybody want to go on record as to whether or not Devin Nunes will ultimately be indicted?
17:36	_Forbin	@mhdsmn (☾☆ Usman Fitri ☾☆): Retweeted AFP news agency (@AFP):  #BREAKING Fidel Castro's eldest son committed suicide: Cuba state media (17s ago)
17:36	nharris	haha realiste..precisely
17:36	_Forbin	wow
17:36	_Forbin	damn
17:36	realiste	no idea, i'm not in a cult myself
17:36	_Forbin	sure are a lot of suicides these days
17:36	synaptic	trudeau?
17:36	realiste	and i haven't experienced a frenzy
17:37	nharris	Did Castro's son have dirt on the clintons?
17:37	Ebele	_Forbin: Can you name two other notable suicides in the past two months?
17:38	synaptic	ebele = arihiraf = teferi
17:38	Kaliuna	synaptic - uhuh
17:39	Ebele	When you speak without political correctness to many members of the right, they get upset.
17:39	Ebele	That is because they desire political correctness.
17:39	Ebele	Most humans desire political correctness.
17:39	Ebele	Those cultures which have a disdain for philosophy generally desire political correctness at a higher rate.
17:40	Ebele	The American Right is a notoriously anti-intellectual culture.
17:40		+++ asteroid set the channel to mode +l 181
17:41	lednerk	BREAKING NEWS: ICE has arrested a U.S army veteran who served two tours of duty in Afghanistan and has two U.S citizen children. His name is Miguel Perez Jr and he has lived in the US since he was 8.
17:41	lednerk	looks like trump is rounding up our troops
17:42	Ebele	lednerk: "Breaking news" correlates with propaganda.
17:42	lednerk	Ebele: PROPAGANDA NEWS!
17:42	Ebele	lednerk: The history of Western philosophy, starting with Socreates and Pals, noted a difference between the deliberative mind and the emotional/impulsive mind.
17:42	lednerk	ty
17:43	lednerk	nharris: wow, breitbart covering REAL news i see
17:43	Ebele	My position is that the consensus is that it is largely accepted the deliberative/reason mind produces better decisions than the emotional/impulsive mind.
17:43	lednerk	nharris is the #politics senior fork correspondent
17:43	lednerk	lyin nharris
17:43	Ebele	In the contemporary era, with behavioral economics, we've been able to more precisely those problem domains in which the emotional/impulsive mind is superior to the deliberative/reason mind, and vice-versa.
17:43	lednerk	link please
17:43	Ebele	For example, Thinking Fast and Thinking Slow by Kahneman.
17:44	Kaliuna	hmm notations - same spew of stuff as last time on... figures
17:44	CometBaby	at the SOTU the dems weren't just anti trump .. they were clearly anti America
17:44		*** nomic quit (Quit: Leaving)
17:44	Kaliuna	CometBaby  HI - and totally agree
17:44	Ebele	I would argue the primary purpose of Russia and Republican propaganda is twofold: 1) Destroy a notion of truth outside of party leadership, and 2) disorient the consumer by pushing them towards their emotional/impulsive mind.
17:44	CometBaby	hi kali
17:44		*** nomic joined #politics
17:44	CometBaby	and they brought in a Clinton and a Kennedy
17:45	CometBaby	will they never learn?
17:45	Ebele	You'll notice sites like reddit/r/the_donald feature a high amount of "breaking news" that feature no content/misinformation, while causing the reader to move into a frenzy.
17:45		+++ Ekko has given voice to nomic
17:45	Kaliuna	CometBaby - no they won't learn... Kennedy needed a napkin for spittle
17:45	Ebele	You'll notice long-term respected sources of news like AP/Reuters/etc. use "breaking news" at a much lower rate.
17:45	Ebele	That's one thought I had.
17:45	CometBaby	nh that is it
17:45	CometBaby	exactly what they must decixe
17:46	Ebele	CometBaby: How were the Democrats anti-American?
17:46	Ebele	CometBaby: I will describe the key American value to be "non-factionalism".
17:46	Ebele	I will do this as a result of the Federalist Papers.
17:46	Easymoney	Trump does not love the nation; only himself.
17:46	Ebele	Easymoney: Correct.
17:47	Ebele	Trump is the type of person described by religious and fictional texts as a key villian.
17:47	Ebele	For example, Jesus described people like him as "false prophets".
17:47	Ebele	He is a villain because he is a factionalist.
17:47	Ebele	His faction is his nuclear family -- not even the GOP.
17:47	Ebele	He hates the GOP, in addition to the USA.
17:47	CometBaby	lol
17:48	CometBaby	there you go .. ranting again... back in your frenzy
17:48	Ebele	For the audience, you'll note that I asked CometBaby to expound on her position. Then, I gave a thorough description of one of my views. Then, she responded with "lol".
17:48	Kaliuna	CometBaby -- getting the typical libby remarks in here tonight... so think I'll just add to the ignore list again
17:49		*** glorioust joined #politics
17:49	Ebele	I promised I wouldn't do political correctness.
17:49	Ebele	The reason the above occurred is because CometBaby is an anti-intellectual.
17:49	Ebele	And I am not.
17:49		+++ Ekko has given voice to glorioust
17:49	Ebele	Further, she is not adept at managing her emotions, and so my giving my take on the causality will result in a rage response, with high probability.
17:49	Ebele	Instead of focusing on her internal emotions, she'll identify the external source of that triggering she cannot understand nor manage. Then, destroy the source.
17:50		+++ CometBaby has taken voice from Ebele
17:50	Ekko	You've been quieted for 72 hours (mode -v). Parting the channel will result in a 2 hour ban (mode +b).
