  1. A quotation from Richard Steele

    Whenever you commend, add your reasons for doing so; it is this which distinguishes the approbation of a man of sense from the flattery of sycophants and admiration of fools.

    Richard Steele (1672-1729) Anglo-Irish writer, journalist, playwright, politician
    Essay (1713-04-08), The Guardian No. 24

    Our study shows how even subtle #emotional #cues in #news—linking #migrant groups with #fear or #admiration—can shape readers’ explicit evaluations. Using 638 real articles and data from 2,139 participants, we highlight both the power and limits of emotion-based #stigmatization in news #reporting.

  14. A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt

    This new understanding undermines the old admiration of worldly success as such. We are beginning to abandon our tolerance of the abuse of power by those who betray for profit the elementary decencies of life.

    Speech (1937-01-20), Inaugural Address, Washington, D.C.

  16. A quotation from The Bible

    Alas for you when the world speaks well of you! This was the way their ancestors treated the false prophets.

    The Bible (The New Testament) (AD 1st - 2nd C) Christian sacred scripture

  17. Here is a typical Russian milblogger channel. Note ”owning the libs” type naming.

    Are you still surprised MAGA supports Russia?

    I think they actually look up to Russia, honestly, and would love nothing more than the USA to become more like Russia.

    Russian brashness and embracing being the bully excites them. Maybe even makes them jealous.

  19. A quotation from Josh Billings

    The love that a man gains by flattery, is worth just about az mutch az the flattery is.

  20. A quotation from The Bible

    And when you fast, do not put on a sad face as the hypocrites do. They neglect their appearance so that everyone will see that they are fasting. I assure you, they have already been paid in full. When you go without food, wash your face and comb your hair, so that others cannot know that you are fasting — only your Father, who is unseen, will know. And your Father, who sees what you do in private, will reward you.
     
    [Ὅταν δὲ νηστεύητε, μὴ γίνεσθε ὡς οἱ ὑποκριταὶ σκυθρωποί, ἀφανίζουσιν γὰρ τὰ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν ὅπως φανῶσιν τοῖς ἀνθρώποις νηστεύοντες· ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἀπέχουσιν τὸν μισθὸν αὐτῶν. σὺ δὲ νηστεύων ἄλειψαί σου τὴν κεφαλὴν καὶ τὸ πρόσωπόν σου νίψαι, ὅπως μὴ φανῇς τοῖς ἀνθρώποις νηστεύων ἀλλὰ τῷ πατρί σου τῷ ἐν τῷ κρυφαίῳ· καὶ ὁ πατήρ σου ὁ βλέπων ἐν τῷ κρυφαίῳ ἀποδώσει σοι.]

    The Bible (The New Testament) (AD 1st - 2nd C) Christian sacred scripture
