Habe jetzt mehrfach den Fake-Screnshot vom angeblichen Trump-Posting mit einem Burger-fressenden 6-fingrigen Soldaten in die Timeline bekommen. 🤦‍♂️

Da habt ihr euch vom eigenen "confirmation bias" hinters Licht führen lassen, Leute.

A quotation from Eric Hoffer

The truth seems to be that propaganda on its own cannot force its way into unwilling minds; neither can it inculcate something wholly new; nor can it keep people persuaded once they have ceased to believe. It penetrates only into minds already open, and rather than instill opinion it articulates and justifies opinions already present in the minds of its recipients. The gifted propagandist brings to a boil ideas and passions already simmering in the minds of his hearers. he echoes their innermost feelings. Where opinion is not coerced, people can be made to believe only in what they already “know.”

Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements, Part 3, ch. 14, § 83 (3.14.83) (1951)

A quotation from Madeleine L'Engle

How dreary to spend your time counting dirty words, but not reading the book. And how revealing of the person who is counting. We do find what we look for.

Madeleine L'Engle (1918-2007) American writer
Speech (1983-11-16), “Dare To Be Creative,” Lecture, Library of Congress, Washington, DC

This is today's code-generated texture, right after I read about these endangered words. I don't know what to do about it, so I'll continue creating things.
