In nationalist thought there are facts which are both true and untrue, known and unknown. A known fact may be so unbearable that it is habitually pushed aside and not allowed to enter into logical processes, or on the other hand it may enter into every calculation and yet never be admitted as a fact, even in one’s own mind.
George Orwell (1903-1950) English journalist, essayist, writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]

@gleick Most of us are familiar with 2+2=4, but 2+2=5 paints a contrasting picture.

#JDVance appeared to be confronting the central question facing America’s relationship w/ #Europe right now: If the #US turns away from #Ukraine, could the US & other #NATO nations find themselves on opposing sides, w/the US moving toward a normalization of relations w/ #Russia? Vance argued that #Trump brought “strategic realism” [🤣that guy has no idea what realism is!] to the decision to seek a negotiated solution to the war.

#uspol I like the Headline on this Article. Read the article which explains why the opposition party needs to go on attack using the same playbook that caused them to lose.

It’s really hard to accept the fact that your own family is now largely fox watching MAGA cult members. #acceptance #boundaries #love #denial #gaslighting #trauma #fear #hate #xenophobia #racism #whitenationalism #alternatefacts

One page in the document includes a “policy statement” on the use of deadly force, which says officers may resort to lethal force only when the subject of such force poses an “imminent danger of death or serious physical injury” to an officer or another person.

You don't need to justify #veganism by making up #AlternateFacts. Humans are not #herbivores. Not only is this demonstrably false, it goes against anthropological science. And evolution. We have adapted to eat meat, and it clearly has benefited us. The choice to be #vegan is an important ethical decision. Don't sully the ethics with #pseudoscience. Be vegan because it's the right thing to do.

@neuralex The deep fake videos I’ve seen certainly trigger a dissonance similar to when I hear someone saying false things. A buzzing in my head starts. That said, my exposure rate is low because I refrain from platforms where they seem to appear most, and tend to encourage the sort of #AlternateFacts that grab attention and #gaslight.

@Greg
We no longer trust #Wikipedia on any #political or #cultural factors. Based on our personal experience they engage in aggressive #censorship, and slant towards the #hawkish.When you say, "up-to-date", according to who?

To the #Australian media scene #LarryKing's passing was newsworthy — just not the fact that after generations of being in the media, he chose #RT.
Whatever you do, don't mention #RussiaToday!

CW: uspol, disinformation, alt-facts
We really have to wake up to the facts that one side of politics has not been playing fair for almost three decades...
David Brin's Polemical Judo makes this point too, but the article below is a scary comparison of the smear against Pelosi's #SOTU theatrics with the smear against the Clintons pre-Fox and pre-social media
