Caaught up on the great Bill Moyers shows of last few weeks. One guest spoke about group think. Where citizens of all political stripes get behind a MEME. Bringing about the deep state. Where decisions are made to enrich wall st and corporations, where putting boots on the ground is considered American exceptionalism. The revolving door between wall street and wall st regulators. Generals taking up Cosy positions in wall street boardrooms after their service.
Group think is seen everywhere. Whether in India where Muslims are marginized. Or elsewhere where it is OK to use religion to throw stones at “Adam and Steve”.
Re: Group think, deep state and dog whistle
Another guest spoke about the dog whistle. Where politicians use statements that subtly target minorities.startingvwith Reagan. Who said his would u feel after a hard days work standing behind a young buck who is buying (insert ur fav food here) using foodstamps. Or his use of welfare queen. Or politicians talking abt tax cuts for hard working Americans who pay for welfare recipients. Or dog whistle abt certain religions promoting violence.
And yes, “Adam and Steve” falls under this category.
Re: Group think, deep state and dog whistle
In par II of dog whistle.
B out 50% or 60% of latinos consider themselves white. So now dog whistle while be redesigned to attract them at the expense of their darker counterparts. So in 2045 counting the white latinos 72% of country will be white.
This is good news for light skinned south Asians.
So who is Bill Moyer? And his guests supportive of minorities? The much maligned self loathing liberals.
Re: Group think, deep state and dog whistle
Here is the show on dog whistle
Watch: The Dog Whistle Politics of Race, Part II
In other news Paul Ryan stated men in the inner cities lack a culture of work and values. When asked why he made this racist statement he protested race was farthest from his mind.
Here is a nice combo : dog whistle and a lie.
Today there is a nice dog whistle thread - on a queer feminist female Muslim. Meanwhile at the Religious forum, an endless debate on whether Ahmedis are Muslims. And whether they consider non Ahmedis Muslims.
Meanwhile in India all right thinking Hindus support destruction of The Penguin Books which were deemed blasphemous. Because the Supreme Court judges said so.
