@MistiWoodiwiss [name pseudonymized] [ontology] : Jeden Tag beim Durchlesen der Timeline wird mir immer wieder bewusst, wie Recht doch Vince Ebert mit seiner Einschätzung hat. Vermeintlich intelligente Personen leben in ihrer bequemen moralinsauren Welt und wähnen sich bei den #Guten #woke #keinemedienkompetenz [URL redacted]
"Every day when reading the timeline, I realize how right Vince Ebert is with his assessment. Supposedly intelligent people live in their comfortable moral acidic world and think they are with the good woke - no media literacy" #IRLComedianVinceEbert
"The evolutionary psychologist William von Hippel discovered that humans use a large part of their intellectual capacity to find their way in their complicated social world. Why is my boss looking so weird today? What does my neighbor's innuendo mean about my new car? Is the waitress flirting with me or is she just being friendly? Our 'social' brain also checks facts from time to time. However, the question that is much more important to it is: what are the social consequences if I do or say this or that? So we have a mechanism in our heads that, when in doubt, even tells us prevents us from thinking what is right when in return it endangers our social status. This phenomenon becomes more prevalent the higher a person's social and economic status. Educated and/or wealthy people are more concerned about what others might think of their opinions. Because they have an academic reputation or a good professional position to lose. What's more, the more educated and smarter a person is, the more adept his brain is at selling him the biggest piece of nonsense as a reasonable idea, as long as it raises his social status. As a result, the upper educated middle class tends more to hang behind any intellectual crazy ideas than ordinary people. The American data scientist David Shor found in extensive studies that educated people hold more ideologically coherent and more extreme views than working-class people. Taxi drivers, cleaning ladies, craftsmen or warehouse workers often have much more connection to reality and common sense than professors, teachers and higher officials. The ideological follower sits less at the regulars' table and more in the lecture hall." #IRLPsychologistWilliamVonHippel #TheorySocialWorlds https://folksonomy.simonperkins.co.uk/?permalink=4006 #IRLScientistDavidShor #IdentityClassBlueCollar

Addendum Ebert's explanation above is presumably comforting for those who aren't (according to his characterisation) 'educated and/or wealthy' or who have 'high social and economic status' - people, who as he characterises, are: 'taxi drivers, cleaning ladies, craftsmen or warehouse workers' i.e. that such explanations are used by those who have no hope of achieving success (financial and/or social) to bolster their confidence. And in doing so, presumably such a reaction is part of a broader strategy to dismiss criticism in an effort to reconcile a sense of personal failure becoming become manifest through retorts such as #ReasoningFallacyBiasCognitiveConfirmationIToldYouSo. In this sense, the phenomenon seems to function as a type of #PhenomnCautionaryTale or perhaps, a version of #TheoryPsychologyPsychologicalPurgationCatharsisHamartia [Wikipedia] where the threat of succumbing to "intellectual crazy ideas" provides a desired relief. #TheoryPsychologyInferiorityComplex #TheoryPsychologyDefenceMechanism [Wikipedia] #BehaviourInjuryFeelingRessentiment_ [Wikipedia] #TheoryAffectiveResponseIndignation [Wikipedia] #ReasoningFallacyPostHocErgoPropterHocPostHocRationalisation [Wikipedia] #ReasoningFallacyOversimplificationCausalReductionism [Wikipedia] #_Focal

"THE LARGEST MASS SHOOTING IN US HISTORY DID NOT HAPPEN IN LAS VEGAS. It happened December 29, 1890 when 297 Sioux Indians were slaughtered at Wounded Knee Creek on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. They were murdered by federal agents and members of the 7th Cavalry who had come to confiscate their firearms 'for their own safety and protection'. The slaughter began after the majority of the Sioux had peacefully turned in their firearms. The Calvary began shotting [sic], and managed to wipe out the entire camp. 200 of the 297 victims were women and children. Wounded Knee was among the first federally-backed gun confiscation attempts in the United States." #IdentityFirstNationsSiouxAKAOcetiSakowin [Wikipedia] #ToponymAmericaNorthUSSouthDakota [Wikipedia]

Supplementary #NMUSAssociatedPressKonstantinToropin "Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has announced that he has decided that the 20 soldiers who received the Medal of Honor for their actions in 1890 at Wounded Knee will keep their awards in a video posted to social media Thursday evening. Hegseth's predecessor, Lloyd Austin, ordered the review of the awards in 2024 after a Congressional recommendation in the 2022 defense bill -- itself a reflection of efforts by some lawmakers to rescind the awards for those who participated in the bloody massacre on South Dakota's Pine Ridge Indian Reservation near Wounded Knee Creek."

Addendum the argument makes the assumption that (being in the possession of) guns must provide safety and security i.e. that guns act as #TheoryDeterrents. Its argument uses the #1890_TheWoundedKneeMassacre as a example where the confiscation of firearms by 'federal agents' i.e. #OrgUSFedGov is blamed for Sioux Indians being massacred - rather than the more obvious explanation - that the 7th Cavalry simply shouldn't have used their guns without having clear justification. The argument seeks to leverage #TheoryEmotionalBias through a #PhenomnCautionaryTale intended to justify #LegislationUS1791ConstAmdt2RightToBearArms.

Supplementary #OrgUSMIJimCrowMuseumOfRacistMemorabilia [Wikipedia] "The brute caricature portrays black men as innately savage, animalistic, destructive, and criminal -- deserving punishment, maybe death. This brute is a fiend, a sociopath, an anti-social menace. Black brutes are depicted as hideous, terrifying predators who target helpless victims, especially white women." https://jimcrowmuseum.ferris.edu/brute/ #OtheringCaricatureSlaveryBrute And #OtheringCaricatureSlaveryNat i.e. "The Nat caricature portrays African and African American males as angry, crazed, revengeful brutes with a bloodthirsty hatred for white people. Like many anti-black caricatures, the Nat portrayal was popularized during American slavery.... 'Nat was the rebel who rivaled Sambo in the universality and continuity of his literary image. Revengeful, bloodthirsty, cunning, treacherous, and savage, Nat was the ravager of white women who defied all the rules of plantation society. Subdued and punished only when overcome by superior numbers of firepower, Nat retaliated when attacked by whites, led guerrilla activities of maroons against isolated plantations, killed overseers and planters, or burned plantation buildings when he was abused...

Addendum points to an #OtheringHateAntisemitism #OtheringHateAntisemiticCanard (conspiracy theory) about some sort of overarching goal of world domination mounted by #IdentityJewish people (in this case, domination of mainstream media). The canard is interesting in the way that it seeks to frame such supposed malevolent intent as a form of 'mind-control' (manipulation) where in their nativity, and having gone against sort of 'predefined natural, social order', such supposed 'white liberals' have received their ultimate punishment i.e. 'they deserve what's coming to them!'. The image collage functions as a #PhenomnCautionaryTale for others who might stray from such a 'natural order' (especially, those conservatives who are more excepting of liberal values). The reality of course, is that a random (and misrepresentative sample) of domestic violence cases has been amassed in such a way that it feels plausible, when it is in fact a non sequitur http://folksonomy.simonperkins.co.uk/?permalink=3548 where just because some black men have inflicted violence on some white people - there is a #ReasoningFallacyFormalNonSequitur #ReasoningFallacyStrawman that black men are innately dangerous (or that all mixed-race #MetaphorPurityRacialWhiteWomenAndBlackMen relationships must inevitably end in disaster - because doing so breaks with natural laws and contravenes #MetaphorSpatialHierarchyStratificationRacial). Note that I assume that such a 'natural order' is religiously defined e.g. some sort of perversion of (Old Testament) Christian belief i.e. #TheoryExnominationChristianity. There is also an assumption that 'liberals' are easily fooled because of their over willingness to accept difference and to challenge established tradition i.e. break natural rules. #OtheringDiscriminationRacism
