yea I'm double posting this in the thread, but look at how well this lines up:

  • Being told that the Bad Thing they were purportedly upset about wasn’t real only made them more upset. Proof that the 23rd largest corporation in America was not in league with the Devil made them defensive and very, very angry.

Thanks for sharing, I wasn't sure what to expect when I started reading but this is a great essay.

there’s no such thing as ghosts or vampires or Satanic detergent executives

These are such wise words.

Wait, there are people who believe this? How?

[-] miz@hexbear.net 67 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

recommend reading the whole thing, but here's a good pull quote (emphasis mine)

In trying to combat the P&G slander with nothing more than irrefutable facts proving it false, I was operating under a set of false assumptions. Among these:

  • I assumed that the people who claimed to believe that Procter & Gamble supported the Church of Satan really did believe such a thing.
  • I assumed that they were passing on this rumor in good faith— that they were misinforming others only because they had, themselves, been misinformed.
  • I assumed that they would respect, or care about, or at least be willing to consider, the actual facts of the matter.
  • Because the people spreading this rumor claimed to be horrified/angry about its allegations, I assumed that they would be happy/relieved to learn that these allegations were, indisputably, not true.

All of those assumptions proved to be false. All of them. This was at first bewildering, then disappointing, and then, the more I thought about it, appalling— so appalling that I was reluctant to accept that it could really be the case.

But it is the case. Let’s go through that list again. The following are all true of the people spreading the Procter & Gamble rumor:

  • They didn’t really believe it themselves.
  • They were passing it along with the intent of misinforming others. Deliberately.
  • They did not respect, or care about, the actual facts of the matter, except to the extent that they viewed such facts with hostility.
  • Being told that the Bad Thing they were purportedly upset about wasn’t real only made them more upset. Proof that the 23rd largest corporation in America was not in league with the Devil made them defensive and very, very angry.

there are people who believe this?

Not really no. They know it's bullshit but it's bullshit that's good for the cause so they do a collective kayfabe for each other to keep the bit going.

[-] TemutheeChallahmet@hexbear.net 43 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

That has been the conservative movement since Clinton but nobody wised up to it. Hillary even had a bunch of generals speak at the DNC to "prove" the troops supported her because conservatives were doing this feigned outrage about Dems being anti-troop.

That, and a lot of Americans are aimless so some stupid understimulated suburban dad will hear something from talk radio like "George Clooney mocked American hero Charlton Heston's Alzheimers so we must boycott his movies" then just takes it up as a cause, because then at least they get to perform some sort of crusade participation.

Yeah I thought this was an obvious bit, but all parties seem sincere in their belief

Imagine owning yourself like this, especially if you don't actually buy it

If it's not exactly like the baby Jesus scene from the movie Mother!, then I don't want it.

This is like when PT Barnum would take out articles in local newspapers under a false name saying that PT Barnum's traveling sideshow was too amazing for any of it to be more than a fancy parlor trick

"He has dancing whales, which must be some sort of automatons, and his world's oldest woman must just be leather stretched over gears and debtor's bones!"

The doubters would take the articles and run around saying "Look, all these fantastical attractions are fake!" and the people who heard them were like "I want to see these dancing whales"

[-] Dessa@hexbear.net 34 points 1 month ago

"I want to see these dancing whales"

Same

If I were a guy back in the early 1900's, yeah

It must have been easy to fool people back then

I mean, it's easy to fool people now, but back then everyone was drinking cocaine and chewing heroine gum

[-] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago

Fuck the leather, I want to see debtor's bones. Sounds metal as fuck.

[-] TemutheeChallahmet@hexbear.net 21 points 1 month ago

Do you know of a book on this

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago

I heard it from an episode of The Dollop, episode 291 to be specific

It came out back in 2017, so I legit don't remember what books they mentioned

Pretty sure they mention their sources at the end of the episode though

A little off topic, but anyone else notice how chuds adopt fashion styles of non-chuds years too late? Like all these male chuds now look just like the same early 2010’s urban microbrewery enthusiasts that they would have called “soy boys”.

I think in general they tend to adopt things from the people they hate because they are generally a bunch of talentless hacks who have no creativity or drive to try new things socially.

[-] TemutheeChallahmet@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yeah they need the aesthetic to feel like a welcomed, known quantity before they take it on, that's why you see MAGA rappers rapping like outdated early 2000s lyrical miracle rappers, or some people calling themselves "goth right." The daring to unleash something unprecedented that they speculate will resonate en masse due to having base level empathy and sense-of-vibes is not there for the reactionary brain.

[-] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago

The funny thing is that on paper it would be very easy for the Republican Party to gain voters and continue to get everything they want.

But they always end up going down this route of appealing to a shrinking Evangelical radical base. The anti-SJW movement was the best thing they had in years and turned it into a joke with their “woke” obsession.

[-] PigPoopBallsDotJPG@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago

The problem with the anti-SJW grift was always that there were like 5 videos of 3 different activists that kept going through re-runs, at the end of the line there wasn't enough fuel for the fire of outrage that it fed upon.

DNC Convention

Democratic National Convention Convention? smuglord

But seriously, I hope they go further down the route of calling everything Satanic because they don't realize how uncool tying themselves to the religious fun haters they tried so hard to separate themselves from is making them.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
