  1. Im Übrigen sei #RomanPoseck [ #CDU ] und all den anderen Wannabe #LawAndOrder Sheriffs gesagt, dass die eine Sache die die #AfD ERNSTHAFT stärkt, ist, ihre #TalkingPoints & #Lügenmärchen zu übernehmen.

    Wissenschaftlich erwiesen.

    Listened to The Sunday Shot.
    And learnt of the following list of government talking points used to avoid the truth about Australia's complicity in the genocide in Gaza when communicating about the topic.

  5. Political journalists need to stop playing into this game, by quoting these verbal smokescreens as if they're serious serious public statements. My advice would be to publish only the first use.

    The second time they're used (or maybe the third), add to a Key Messages website maintained by a consortium of newsrooms. Give each one a unique KM number, and a URI that links directly to an example.

  7. Political talking points - or "key messages" as Nicky Hagar called them in The Hollow Men - are a cancer on political communication. Expressly designed to allow politicians to make public statements without actually *saying* anything.

    There's some great examples in yesterday's FOP on RNZ, where CLuxon and Rimmer vomited up and ate the same verbal hairballs they've been retaining since 2023;

  13. #TalkingPoints for dumbfucks:
    - Are rich people better than you?
    - Are rich people more deserving than you?
    - Do rich people work harder or smarter than you?
    - Who do you think has screwed you? Gustavo there in the bar kitchen?

  15. AI-Powered #SocialMedia #Manipulation App Promises to 'Shape Reality'

    A #prototype app called Impact describes “A Volunteer Fire Department For The Digital World,” which would summon real people to copy and paste AI-generated talking points on social media.

  17. Reminder for USians: Social Security, Medicare, unemployment, etc., are only "entitlements" in the sense that yes, *you ARE entitled to them*! Because you paid for them.

    Every W-2 form you've ever gotten has had fields for Social Security tax, Medicare tax, and state income tax. Those are what pay those things.

    If you're unemployed, sick, retired, or whatever, *get what you've already paid for!* You deserve it!

  19. I plan on making calls on behalf of #kamalaharris and the #democraticparty before the election and thought having a list of #talkingpoints would be helpful. I did a search & the results were less than satisfactory, so I thought I would post this question on #Mastodon for all of our benefits.

    If everyone could reply with 1 reason - documented - to either not elect Trump or to elect Kamala Harris, maybe we could put together a body of talking points.

    My sincere thanks in advance!

    Considering the #EchoChamber #Republicans live in (their repetition of #TalkingPoints is legendary), I'm not surprised another #RWNJ had already used the #CatLadies meme.

  25. Suppose They Gave A #WarOnWoke And No One Came?

    What If Prevalence Of #CriticalRaceTheory Was Just A Theory?

    New #Syllabus Study Of 5.6m US #College Courses Finds Less Than 1/10th of a Percent Teach Topics Or Use Terms That Drive #RWNJ TV #TalkingPoints.

    The Constant Complaining About College Campuses Is Just A Spurious #SunTzu #Stratagem Of The Far Right, As Their Enemy Isn't Even There.

    #StructuralRacism is mentioned in approx 0.37 per cent classes at Columbia or Harvard and #CRT itself is generally only studied by approx 1% percent of #sociology students, who make up less than 8% of all college grads.

  27. After watching some news, I think I'll start incorporating #TalkingPoints into my daily life, for synergistic goal-focused asks or whatever.

    "Dr. GJ, weren't you going to put the quiz up 15 minutes ago?"

    Yes, I would say that faculty are criminally underpaid at this university.

    "Daddy, are you done making my lunch for school?"

    I agree! More outdoor activities would make us healthier!

    "Are you planning to do those dishes today?"

    I'm actively pursuing revenue-poslitive income streams for this organization.

    "#Professor, I just don't understand how I could have a grade this low."

    Yes, I would say that #faculty are criminally underpaid at this university.

  28. I wish we could show intellectual #respect and go beyond the #hypocrisy of #partisanship. Just accept when people from (what you consider being) the opposite camp make a legitimate point. Resist the need to denigrate them wholesale.

    If one or more arguments go against the list of #talkingpoints you ('ve been told to) go with, there still might be some actual emerging good ideas in there.

    The probability of the whole stance being 100% bad or pure lies is pretty thin.

  30. Listening to government politicians has become even more irritating since they learned they can get away with robotically repeating their key messages. Over and over again. In the same words. Regardless of what the interviewer asks.

    I really hope there's a reaction against this. That people start voting only for people who talk like humans, rather than like recordings being played on repeat.
