“ If for some people in power this mean I'm either a murderer, a rapist, a drug dealer, a pedophile, a terrorist, or whatever, they're free to spend taxpayers money to find out how wrong their assumptions were, then get voted out of their seats. ”
They don’t believe this; it’s an argument framed in a bad faith so that they can strip peoples rights and jam laws down our throats. Their mastery is in framing. Never use Or repeat their frame.
See George Lakoff’s work in framing. It’s essential in environment of heavy propaganda.
- in9 7y agoWhat work by George Lakoff would you recommend? The guy has like 15 books published ^_^
- andrei_says_ 7y agoHis framelab podcasts are informal and easily digestable. https://framelab.us/podcast/ https://framelab.us/podcast/ I highly recommend * truth sandwich time (if you only listen to one make it this one) * how republicans really think (if you only listen to one make it this one, too) * how trump uses twitter to control the media (very eye opening) * guns over people (on how to frame the gun debate) Also, this lecture on political language exposes the leverage hooks politicians and propagandists use to hook and manipulate us. You will never listen/read political speech the same. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5f9R9MtkpqM&t=28 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5f9R9MtkpqM&t=28
- squarefoot 7y ago"See George Lakoff’s work in framing. It’s essential in environment of heavy propaganda." A bit late but thanks for suggesting Lakoff. I'm 1/3 through the video linked by another user and am loving it; it should be dubbed in other languages and spread around.
