The labels in question, I find so tiresome; “right wing whacko,” “conspiracy theorist,” “hate speaker,” and “cultural appropriator”—are used to frame individuals or groups in ways that can delegitimize their views, silence dissent, or create division.
Once these labels are deployed, people are 'educated' to their use than the 'media' that can have guest, host and news readers apply the labels, if you disagree there's always a ready made label to apply to that right wing whacko, that Leftist Marxist.... The dialogue ceases, the hate increases.
Who would benefit if interpersonal and societal communication was manipulated?
My 'why' is focusing on how these labels are deployed in social media, media influence, and proxy group activities.
Why does the 'media' focus on Russia, hardly never hear a word about Chinese, is it because they don't wish to upset our provider of everything?
Fred pointed out something earlier, 'who's hiding behind the curtain and controlling things', excellent question and why?
The old divide and conquer tactic has been a method for sometime now. I saw a clip of Charles Barkley saying something similar, that the "powers that be" just use all that you mentioned, for us to hate on one another to keep us from seeing who's hiding behind the curtain and controlling things.
Stop with the conspiracy nonsense that was started by a British nut 40 years ago that just hated America. The Chinese took photos of the landing sites. We went there.
I think we should agree not to use these terms, especially if the point is to control dialog. Let's be open minded and look at the material Vince provided and discuss it on its merits.
Yes, lets be open minded and not be closed minded by telling others what the can say. Why should anyone agree with you? You are advocating controlled, that is censored speech. Who is the king of what hate speech is? Who makes that determination? Joseph Goebbels? Pravda? Some government bureaucrat? How about all the thousands of times the main stream media called Trump and MAGA Hitler, a threat to democracy, white supremist, nat-see, fascists', conspiracy idiots? Isn't that hate speech? Nobody told them to shut up. What happens when that bureaucrat is changed out with someone with different ideas on what hate speech is? Promoting censorship is hate speech.
Instead of trying hide your dislike of free speech, just say what you mean. You think I cannot think for myself nor can anyone else and need to be protected from ourselves with censorship. True hate speech will die on its own by being ignored or exposed by others. What happens when the other side is equally hateful, just has the money to say what they want? It destroys my ability to speak truth to power.
People like Joy Reid who spewed hatred for years on big money MSNBC. Then there are the lies of Psaki, Maddow, Acasta, Collins and her snarky sadistic smirk. Why isn't the half truths told by all the main stream media called hate speech? Because they are the controllers they have money and telling me my speech needs to be controlled makes me tamed a peasant. Your controlled speech takes away everyone's power to fight back against injustice as they see it. Nobody has the right to tell anyone else what justice is. But we do have the right to post what we see as the truth against them.
No one is controlling your speech. You are free to write whatever you like on this site. Just don't threaten to harm anyone and you'll be fine. That said, I still trust my source - and his resume - far more than I trust you. And, George is no liberal.
Your first sentence is wrong the initial rebuttal was about the lie that the moon landing never happened. I made no bones about it being a lie. Then I was asked not to point out it was a lie by not using certain words, that is telling me and anyone that reads it to not just censor themselves but somehow just know what 'terms should not be used'. That was also answered in no uncertain terms. Because that is where censorship starts, but where does it end.
Another thing that all these moon landing conspiracy people do not add in, other than the modern photo evidence, are the hundreds of people that worked the telemetry connections. Back in the 1960's we did not have satellites. There was no communications when open oceans where facing the moon. This was fixed by using 12 EC-135's Apollo Ranged Instrumentation Aircraft, better know as ARIA (uh-rye-uh) each with a six foot steerable dish antenna on the nose inside a radome. Later they were renamed advanced range instrumentation aircraft, one of them is in the USAF museum in Dayton Ohio right now. Because the technology to automatically aim that dish antenna did not exist back then, the crew had to manually point the dish at the space capsule to maintain communications. They flew race track patterns over the oceans to keep communications constant. Plus spare crews, ground crew, mission planners, administrative support, there are lots of witnesses. The missions were not secret, you can find out all about them. Leaving them out is a lie of omission. Conversely there would be a lot of whistle blowers if it was all a fake, may I point out there are not, because we went to the moon. Then there is the Van Allen radiation belt. It is shaped like a belt, hence the name. The Apollos flew around it. We went to the moon. Then there is the technology of the cameras of the day, those photos could not have been faked with the technology of the day. Then there is the dust created by footsteps and the rover that could not have floated like that in high gravity earth. Had that been faked it would have taken weeks to do, with even more witnesses/whistle blowers in dark rooms. The images were immediately available, so faking was not possible. Every part of the lie that we did not go to the moon is easily debunked, and has been, if you just do some research with an open mind.
I am tired of the lie and am pushing back whenever I get the chance, like now. The notion that we did not go to the moon is right up there with flat earth theory, something I will push back on.
Asking me not to say so is the start of censorship. Where does it end?
As for who you trust, if you want to trust someone that lies by omission, that is your own affair. I do not.
As for your needless sentence telling me not to makes threats, the only time I have seen that line is when someone is about to make one themselves. So don't make threats and you will be fine.
While we are here, I happen to have a bridge for sale, cheap.
How did Richard Nixon call the astronauts from the White House to space on a rotary dial phone?!! I would like one of those phones today! I would toss my cell phone if I could get one of those
Are you kidding? This is just lame. That call did not go directly to the space ship, they used patches to the telemetry stations. That call was arranged well ahead of time and was made through Huston control. The analog phone signal, which is just electronic signals, was passed through to the radio control and then on to the telemetry sites, either ground or airborne then on to the space ship. A simple understanding of how phones work would have answered this, even today a voice signal is turned into an electronic signal with a microphone. This electronic signal is passed to the other end and is turned into a voice signal with a speaker, 100 year old concepts. Back then we needed wires to connect ends for all phone calls so a call without wires was amazing that is where the telemetry stations come in, I explained them before. Except for those telemetry tracking stations that were needed to pass the signal to the space ship without a wire, that call was no different than an overseas call. The point of the call was to show off leading edge technology by passing a wireless call into space and promote the space program. Nobody ever hears the first part where the phone patch is being hooked up and technicians talking to each party before the televised portion to make sure all the stations were getting a good signal, and "OK go ahead Mr. President". Since this was going to be televised it had to be perfect. Your cell phone could not have made that call either, without the use of telemetry tracking because the satellites are all focused back to earth. Even today for a cell phone to work in space we would need telecommunications satellites around the moon or in earth orbit beyond the moon, this is easy stuff to figure out. But if you want to change out your 4 or 5 ounce cell phone that can go anywhere for a two pound brick that can only go as far as the cord attached to it to work and can only use analog signals that do not work with digital, meaning there is nobody to call, let alone all the apps and pictures, and videos, and text, go right ahead. Who are you going to call in space? The only people up there that might answer are in the space station? Why do you hate America so much that you spend time trying to prove one of mankind's greatest achievements a is a fake? The moon rocks were shared with universities across the earth, you do know that right? That elements no found on earth were found? That percentages of elements found in some rocks have never been found on earth, you do know that? That telemetry was recorded for months after the Astronauts came back? You do know that telemetry was shared with the world, you know that right? The Soviets were tracking the landing very closely, hoping we would crash, and would have screamed fake right away if it was fake, you do realize that right? You do know there are modern photos of the landing sites provided by the Chinese, you do know that right? There are studies being done to track the effects of low gravity, low atmosphere affects on the different materials left up there, you know that right? You do realize that if this was some how faked the whole world would have known about it in minutes, you do realize that right? You do realize that nit picking minor details just makes the whole fake landing conspiracy look foolish right?

I do not understand an of these hate speech points. In a society with free speech none of this exists, with the only caveat being advancing physical harm. Free speech is not just what is said or written, it is what is heard and read. This gives everyone the power to decide for them selves what they believe for themselves.
Pushing ideas that there is hate speech is pushing self censorship. Say what you want, I will decide what to listen to. I will do my own research.
Kade, thank you so much for joining the conversation. It is nice to have you here and to hear your viewpoints. Your post is quite lengthy, so I am not able to respond after the post. It is interesting to note that the first sentence of your response could be viewed as insulting. Yes, it is true people have differences of opinion (and they are entitled to have them) and yes, it is true that many people find the terms conspiracy theorist, cultural appropriationist, etc. insulting. The point of this blog is to get people who have different points of view to together to discuss complicated issues. Perhaps we could start a "conspiracy theory" discussion with the high altitude chemical spraying (that some people assert leave chem trails), the history of weather manipulation, weather wars, health issues, etc. https://southdakotavoices.substack.com/p/when-conspiracy-theory-becomes-law
If the point of this blog is to spark discussion maybe consider actually reading my reply and having a conversation with me, instead of assuming I’m insulting you, talking down on me, and then linking me to a bunch of conspiracy theories I don’t believe in.
Labels are used to dehumanize people. Currently all immigrants are labeled “illegal aliens” no matter now they arrived in our country which has led to hate and violence against many minorities. Listen to how many talk about immigrants -now substitute “ Jew” for immigrants and you will see exactly now Hitler was able to get people to participate in the holocaust.
I cannot believe this was sent to my email. Right wing propagandist at its finest. Through this entire read you perpetuate dangerous beliefs that are merely conspiracy theories, often times contrary to what you claim (with no evidence at all) do not end up being true. Every single matter you address you flip it on its head and angle it just right for your own narrative; right wing talking points created to stir the pot of culture war and validate and cause the exact division I think you’re trying to claim to be against? Well let me put it bluntly, what I took away from this read is that you have a lot of internalized homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and general fear and disillusionment that might make you consider looking inwards instead of pointing your finger at people who merely want equality and fair treatment for ALL HUMAN BEINGS. You talk a lot about labels and even VALIDATE the use of them, but fail to remember the true intent of said labels, division. Take away all labels and cut each others wrists, we’d all bleed out red and die. These labels you are simultaneously defending yet somehow trying to counter…? Hate speakers, conspiracy theorists, “close-minded people” aka transphobes…Yeah those are counter-labels that had to be created because people who were different than the norm had been subjugated to hate, violence, isolation, and even genocide throughout history. You wouldn’t know that because queer erasure, and white washing of historical events would lead you to believe otherwise.
In your very first talking point, you try to tote “science” and “basic biology” with again no real evidence to back up what you’re saying. If you knew anything about science, you’d know the field of science is always adapting and changing as we people learn and grow, and many if not all science and research publications agree GENDER identity and SEX chromosomes are two very different and separate things.
Later on, you also try to validate yourself using the myth that the vaccines were fake or some sort of man made social experiment, that belief stems from immensely xenophobic rhetoric and conspiracy theories.
A conspiracy theorist is someone who believes that a secret plan by powerful people caused an event or situation, which often times contrary to what you said, IS NOT TRUE. Conspiracy theories often involve the belief that nothing happens by chance.
Characteristics
* Conspiracy theories are often based on suspicion rather than facts.
* They often oppose the mainstream consensus of experts like scientists and historians.
* They can be hard to refute because people who try are seen as part of the conspiracy.
* They can provide a false sense of control and agency
Cultural appropriation is the act of adopting another culture's customs, ideas, or practices with malice, often times the term is used when one person misrepresents or disrespects the original meaning of the original customs, ideas, or practices.
Last but not least. Really? Defending hate speech? Do you realize that’s literally division at its finest? If someone was hating on you for invalid reasons whether it be one’s own conditioning, one’s own miseducation or misunderstanding, one’s own indoctrination into a hateful religious or political ideology; you’d still want to sit down at their table and give them respect, when they refuse to be civilized and give the same to you? At the end of the day I understand what you’re saying, treat others the way you want to be treated, we are all human, but I’m not sorry when I say, you missed the mark completely.
I have one thing i depend on, its faith in God doing whatever needs to be done and in some way in time those that do evil acts get what they have coming to them. These gender arguments and LBGQT or whatever it is, trying to teach sex to little kids in schools, demoralizing the church and God, mocking God, messing with nature with abortions or cutting off what God gave you all will come back to haunt these fools. What the good book says you better believe, it is what and will happen to those who don’t believe. As far as conspiracy from what I’ve seen it always comes true. As a researcher for many years, my truth comes from sources much deeper than the trashy day to day media. My facts come from more than one and double checked before i release them. Truth always wins, truth always can be found but the believers are the problem. Depends on area, age group and who grew up with that good old common sense! So many have been brain washed and indoctrinated, fed by media that bends minds. There are the tools the left use constantly with there lies, racism, cause division. Hatred and vileness, immoral, impure to disrupt and cause chaos. Lying is the worst, its daily, all day long, blatant lying, they know it yet spread it even when there caught. I see things going very badly for the left, failing everyday. When its never about the people and always about Trump and for many years and then you have some go we have to change to convince people we are there party, but you have lied so long why would we believe you changed now. What were going to see is a big collapse in things in the democrat party, waste and abuse, theft, human trafficking, child trafficking, drug running, money laundering and so much more and it may involve some of the right also! The thing is we have to stop corruption, it’s everybody’s problem and has been for many years. So we got a President that is stirring the pot and the rats are running means something like him or not. Many may not like his way of talking but his policies work. I want someone who does things to put money back in my pocket, not some foreign country or politician. We all need to remember who we are, Americans, that have to fight side by side sometimes, brothers and sisters, not enemies. Like Kennedy said years ago, ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country! I love my USA, what it all stands for, things many others don’t have, what i can do for it to make it better for everyone, we should be first and everyone else respects that and wants some of that.
Like your comments but just respectfully disagree with your examples! (for example, "basic biology" does NOT indicate that there are only two genders!). Go in Peace!
The labels in question, I find so tiresome; “right wing whacko,” “conspiracy theorist,” “hate speaker,” and “cultural appropriator”—are used to frame individuals or groups in ways that can delegitimize their views, silence dissent, or create division.

Bullying goes back to Cain and Able.
That's what this is.
Speak your truth and don't be swayed by bullies on either side.
The old divide and conquer tactic has been a method for sometime now. I saw a clip of Charles Barkley saying something similar, that the "powers that be" just use all that you mentioned, for us to hate on one another to keep us from seeing who's hiding behind the curtain and controlling things.
We DIDN'T land on the moon in 1964. It was 1969.
Lee, thank you very much for catching my mistake.
You sure about that? This guy, who was in the space program, told me that we did not have the technology to reach the moon in 1969:

Cultural appropriation is the act of adopting another culture's customs, ideas, or practices with malice, often times the term is used when one person misrepresents or disrespects the original meaning of the original customs, ideas, or practices.
Last but not least. Really? Defending hate speech? Do you realize that’s literally division at its finest? If someone was hating on you for invalid reasons whether it be one’s own conditioning, one’s own miseducation or misunderstanding, one’s own indoctrination into a hateful religious or political ideology; you’d still want to sit down at their table and give them respect, when they refuse to be civilized and give the same to you? At the end of the day I understand what you’re saying, treat others the way you want to be treated, we are all human, but I’m not sorry when I say, you missed the mark completely.
I have one thing i depend on, its faith in God doing whatever needs to be done and in some way in time those that do evil acts get what they have coming to them. These gender arguments and LBGQT or whatever it is, trying to teach sex to little kids in schools, demoralizing the church and God, mocking God, messing with nature with abortions or cutting off what God gave you all will come back to haunt these fools. What the good book says you better believe, it is what and will happen to those who don’t believe. As far as conspiracy from what I’ve seen it always comes true. As a researcher for many years, my truth comes from sources much deeper than the trashy day to day media. My facts come from more than one and double checked before i release them. Truth always wins, truth always can be found but the believers are the problem. Depends on area, age group and who grew up with that good old common sense! So many have been brain washed and indoctrinated, fed by media that bends minds. There are the tools the left use constantly with there lies, racism, cause division. Hatred and vileness, immoral, impure to disrupt and cause chaos. Lying is the worst, its daily, all day long, blatant lying, they know it yet spread it even when there caught. I see things going very badly for the left, failing everyday. When its never about the people and always about Trump and for many years and then you have some go we have to change to convince people we are there party, but you have lied so long why would we believe you changed now. What were going to see is a big collapse in things in the democrat party, waste and abuse, theft, human trafficking, child trafficking, drug running, money laundering and so much more and it may involve some of the right also! The thing is we have to stop corruption, it’s everybody’s problem and has been for many years. So we got a President that is stirring the pot and the rats are running means something like him or not. Many may not like his way of talking but his policies work. I want someone who does things to put money back in my pocket, not some foreign country or politician. We all need to remember who we are, Americans, that have to fight side by side sometimes, brothers and sisters, not enemies. Like Kennedy said years ago, ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country! I love my USA, what it all stands for, things many others don’t have, what i can do for it to make it better for everyone, we should be first and everyone else respects that and wants some of that.
Like your comments but just respectfully disagree with your examples! (for example, "basic biology" does NOT indicate that there are only two genders!). Go in Peace!
