Nifty Slogans (anti-ideas/antideas revisited).

 

Nifty Slogans .

 


 Today I would prefer to start a list, to be later added to of just total failures at being psychological suggestion, of malicious mottos. Nifty Slogans, in a way another guise for the "anti-ideas" of Pierre Dubois-Melvin.


e.g., 


"Sex work is work."


"Trans women are women."


See the rhythm?


See the rhyme?


See the unreason?



...

 


 So we have been anticipated.

 

I haven't read through this closely enough to decide if any of it resonates with me. It is simply the snappy rhythm of it that strikes me.


Like Johnny Cochrane simpering out "If it doesn't fit you must acquit."


Or Bill Clinton asservating "It depends on what the word "is" is."


What I want to know is what other nifty slogans follow this template, not to say paradigm?

The (Judith) Butler did it: Hoag's Hoax yet again.

    "Sometimes all of our Thoughts are misgiven."       The peculiar theories of Judith Butler are based on a misinterpretation of what one might call synecdochally, " Schrödinger's Cat " ...   The link is to a short  video of the infamous "Ames Window," which like  Schrödinger's Cat is not to be taken at face value.

Misapplied to be the absolutely very least bit precise.   This amorphous nebulous Debussyan fog is where  (Judith) Butler makes/takes/gives/ misgives , her stand.   Where "they" make "their" stand as "they" would have it. The full book is here .    Ot...

Root Orange Ouroboros Theory.

Image
      Inexplicably the Trump phenomenon seemed to vomit itself into existence out of nothing, but Root Orange Ouroboros Theory is an idea that it was actually flying under the radar with a weaponized stealth issue kept in peripheral vision by distractions and constant deployment of so-called "orange herrings," red herrings as decoys, and "dog-whistles" so-called. For example the fashionable twitter "statue PfPs," and enigmatic ambiguously interpretable allusions to 'saving Western Civilization.'    To lay it all out, what lay underneath, the essence, or root of the orange ouroboros was a simple set of axioms, presumed to be self-evident. To the extent that they resonated, they helped conjure the unlikely fruit into existence like "clockwork," so to speak:   a) There ain't no such thing as a they/them.   b)  Nobody was "born in the wrong body."   c) The belief that one can be or that oneself is, is a mental illness.   d) T...
