Supplementary: #EDUUSUniversityVirginiaTechMattGabriele https://bsky.app/profile/profgabriele.com/post/3kn6qyoo5tq2w "Those claims by the Right, however, seem at first glance to not make sense. They state that they represent the will of the people and want to terrorize those they consider 'tyrants.' And yet, they themselves have tried to overturn a legitimate election and more recently enacted sweeping voter suppression laws across several states in order to cement their own hold on power. In addition, the Right and their enablers rush to stake out absolutist positions related to 'religious liberty' or 'freedom of speech' but then cheer on (or directly use) state power to limit just those liberties and freedoms they purport to support. For example, they assert 'liberty' to discriminate against the LGBTQ+ community, and assert 'freedom' to legislate against mask-wearing during a global pandemic or to ban the teaching of history they don't agree with. ...
Over the course of 1792-94, the avatars of the 'will of the people' continued to narrow. It was no longer the legislature as a whole, composed of hundreds of delegates that embodied the 'will of the people,' but it specifically became the Committee of Public Safety led by Robespierre. He vocalized the public will and embodied the public good so that those who disagreed became existential enemies of France herself who needed to be eliminated. Hence, we wind up with the Terror -- denunciations and mass executions of perceived enemies both at home and abroad. The Terror, Furet argued, was only ended when Robespierre lost control of the discourse and no longer embodied the public will, so he himself became a threat and was executed.
Contemporary America hasn't, of course, reached its own Terror. But the parallels between the modes of discourse in the late eighteenth- and early twenty-first centuries are striking. The Right has adopted an authoritarian mode of discourse because they think they embody the will of the people, the nation itself, and so are the only legitimate political actors." https://prof-gabriele.medium.com/on-guillotines-and-the-american-right-de0343b72341 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Committee_of_Public_Safety #WebsiteFiveThirtyEightNateSilver "'But I have a theory about how they missed the Trump train,' he continued. 'They don't hang out with regular folks like us who like to hunt and fish and pray and actually work for a living.

There's been a lot of this talk at the RNC, about 'real' Americans and 'regular' Americans and how they're the ones who make America great. ...
These politicians, implicitly and often explicitly, usually have certain people in mind when they refer to 'real Americans.' They often mean white people without college degrees -- the so-called 'white working class.' They usually mean practicing Christians. Their examples usually refer to people in the South or the Midwest -- not East Coast elites or West Coast hippies." https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/only-20-percent-of-voters-are-real-americans/

Context: "The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has released its long-awaited report on the collapse of World Trade 7 following the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. 'Our take-home message today is that the reason for the collapse of World Trade Center 7 is no longer a mystery,' NIST lead investigator Shyam Sunder told journalists at this morning's press conference in Gaithersburg, Md. 'WTC 7 collapsed because of fires fueled by office furnishings. It did not collapse from explosives or from diesel fuel fires.'
Conspiracy theorists have long pointed to the collapse of the 47-story structure as key evidence that the U.S. government orchestrated or abetted the 9/11 attacks. No planes struck the building, and the commonly available views of the exterior didn't show significant damage. Yet, at 5:20 pm, 7 hours after the collapse of the Twin Towers (WTC 1 and 2), WTC 7 rapidly fell in on itself. Since WTC 7 housed Secret Service and CIA offices, conspiracy theorists claimed that the building was destroyed in a controlled demolition in order to obliterate evidence of the U.S. government's complicity in the terrorist attacks." https://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/design/a3524/4278874/

"It has been over 33 years since hundreds if not thousands of unarmed peaceful pro-democracy protesters were killed in Beijing and the arrest of tens of thousands of demonstrators in cities across China.
The protesters, based in Tiananmen Square in central Beijing, were peacefully calling for political and economic reform. In response, the Chinese authorities responded with overwhelming force to repress the demonstrations.
Military units were brought in and unarmed protesters and onlookers were killed en masse. The Chinese government has never acknowledged the true events surrounding the Tiananmen massacre. It remains a contentious topic in China, with authorities banning all mention of the protest even today.
The Chinese authorities want everyone to forget that they killed hundreds, if not thousands, of unarmed peaceful pro-democracy protesters in Tiananmen Square in 1989." https://www.amnesty.org.uk/china-1989-tiananmen-square-protests-demonstration-massacre (18 May 2023).

implicit belief in the impartiality of search algorithms (and their corruption by their providers) i.e. "algorithms are implicitly neutral, it's the people that make them that give them an agenda". In this case, the search engine #TechServiceDuckDuckGo is seen to have succumbed to the same impulses of #TechServiceGoogle i.e. to present weighted search returns.
Supplementary: this perspective is discussed by #IRLScholarFrancescaTripodi in terms of the practice of #EpistemologyAmateurExegeteScripturalInference: "I argue that practices learned in Bible study are applied to media interpretation. The conservatives I observed all hold the belief that certain fundamental truths exist, and they critically interrogate media messages in the same way they approach the Bible, focusing on specific passages and comparing what they read, see, and hear to their lived experiences. I term this media interrogation process scriptural inference, whereby audiences apply the technique of closely reading 'the Word' to other documents. I argue that these practices are a style of media literacy, whereby those who believe in the truth of the Bible approach secular political documents (e.g., a transcript of the president's speech or a copy of the Constitution) with the same interpretative scrutiny. Through this practice of unpacking texts, inconsistencies between an interpretation of original documents and the stories produced by MSNBC, CNN, Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and The Washington Post are easy to find. Such findings further support their widely shared belief that mainstream media cannot be trusted" (p.6). #PhenomnAlgorithm #ReasoningFallacyConfirmationBias #EpistemologyAmateurExegeteGooglingStuffAsResearch #BeliefChristianityBible #NarrativeTruthImmutableUniversalIncontrovertibleAbsolute #BeliefChristianityBibleScripture #TheoryConstitutionalLawOriginalism #NMUSMSNBC #NMUSCNN #NMUSFOXFNC #NewspaperUSBrdshtTheWallStreetJournal #NewspaperUSBrdshtNewYorkTimes #NewspaperUSBrdshtTheWashingtonPost #WebsitePragerU #IRLUltracrepidarianDaveRubin #WebsiteTheDailyWire
