Oh wow. #Comcast is allowing #NBC to say #Cognitivedissonance
the mental discomfort experienced when holding two or more contradictory beliefs, values, or attitudes, often triggered by actions inconsistency with beliefs. Proposed by #LeonFestinger in 1957, this #theory suggests people are driven to reduce this inner tension by changing behaviors, justifying actions, or
*ignoring conflicting information*
That is exactly what loyalist dupes excel at.

(Also, #CognitiveDissonance loses marks for going on about how the hosts go “Sans information I’m just not going to speculate, unlike a conspiracy theorist!” before then speculating wildly about how the shooting went down)
2. #CognitiveDissonance: it was an episode on conspiracy theories about the White House Ballroom shooting, & the theorising about the nature of conspiracy theories felt like stuff straight out of the late 80s/early 90s. Felt very dated & had a bit of a “New Atheist” vibe. Unlikely to listen to more

one of the most delightful aspects of this unfolding disaster, apart from the sheer schadenfreudean #karma of its

Low-lying southern Louisiana faces multiple threats, with rising sea levels driven by global heating, compounded by strengthening hurricanes, also a feature of the climate crisis, and the gradual subsidence of a coastline that has been carved apart by the oil and gas industry...is the anticipatory delight of how much this will enrage all the knuckle-dragging RWNJs, who will ofc reflexively rush forth as a bilious tidal wave to flood the zone with yet more of their hateful fact-free morally-bereft shitfuckery

i was initially just gonna tag this with my frequent tag
#wearetotallyfucked then leave it at that, but then i had this additional thought...

...yes our society truly is built on petrochemicals, & our realistic chances of being 100% rid of them is slim to bugger all for foreseeable generations, yet... if we can manage to stop using fossilfools as an
actual combustion fuel source, for most of our domestic, industry, & transport applications, then by definition our additional CO2 loading of the atmosphere would dramatically fall, thus finally making inroads on our hitherto unbroken rise in accelerating our #climatecrisis . so after all i don't think this article is as depressing as first blush

ofc, we won't actually DO any of this, coz humans basically are fuckheads

I tried to live for 24 hours without using oil-based products. It was ridiculously impossible

The world’s economy is completely dependent on petrochemicals. Is there any way to avoid them?

Big Oil Is Seeking Protection From “Leftist Legal Crusades”

At the top of the fossil fuel industry’s legislative priorities are sweeping protections against liability for the climate disasters caused by their extraction processes. Republicans in Congress are doing their best to help out.

Electric Garbage Trucks Are The Heavy-Duty EV Story Hiding In Plain Sight - CleanTechnica

Cities are finding that electric refuse trucks can cut noise, exhaust, and diesel risk while improving a core municipal service.

Saw a video by a ww saying, “What a privilege it is to have a lot of time to care about a lot of different things in the world at the same time. Well, I can’t. Some of us have jobs and need to pay bills.” Lol, okay. For now. She has a job, for now. That’s all I could think about after watching such a display of cognitive dissonance and unearned privilege. May she choke violently 🫶🏻

Trump versus The Pope
==================
Ring a Ding Ding!
Two guys from a pedo ring,
fighting & mudslinging.
Both make a living,
from human suffering.
One thinks he is king,
the other, that he has wings.
Watch them come out swinging.
Get popcorn & a seat by the ring.
Hark! The demons sing!

Trump is demolishing a so-called democracy.
https://we-glue-earth.gitlab.io/when-was-america-great/ )

The pope sits on a pile of gold looted with genocide from all over the world for centuries, in a private city state in the middle of Rome, and professes poverty, puts on a show of washing the poor people's feet, hides behind bullet-proof glass, protects pedophiles, wears a dress & tells people that being gay is a sin. The pope could issue an edict for all catholics to resign from the armed forces. Will he do that? The pope is a fairy, see?

Telling the Truth is like taking an opium addict's rock of opium away. They react angrily, in pain from withdrawal symptoms. Cognitive Dissonance is painful.

"Help Save Jesus"

One can reach one's higher power through any number of ways. Some are better than others, and history bears witness.

Having a book or a teacher is fine.
Fancy words are Ok.
Yet, the ultimate Truth is in the outcome. Does the religion make people better? Do they make the world better?

With regard to Christianity, there are three types of people:

1. Good Christians
2. Bad Christians
3. Non-Christians

Good Christians ( sheep ) act as the cover for the Bad Christians ( wolves ).

Bad Christians have so much blood on their hands, they killed 2 people, every minute, of every hour, of every day, 24x7, non-stop, for 100 years. And that was just last century.

So good Christians should:

1. stop turning a blind eye to the Bad Christians.
2. stop trying to preach to the Non-Christians.
3. turn to the Bad Christians and talk with them. Get their own house in order, before they dare preach to others, through pamphlets, brochures, media advertising, or door to door proselytizing etc. Jesus is in need of being saved, or the world will learn the Truth of history, and the Christian church, die out within a generation.

Why MAGA is a Futile Quest and Fighting Nazis is a Sham

A quotation from Orwell

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]
Essay (1945-05), “Notes on Nationalism,” Polemic Magazine (1945-10)
