Gregory's Server@malwaretech I can't blame, in Argentina won the one who should be in a psychiatrist, who talks to dead animals using mediums and thinks he's Moses.
You can't reason with a populist and they followers.

 Problem is, the last decade has shown me how ridiculously easy it is for populism to coerce the majority of the population into anger and direct it towards whatever goal the fascists have. Which is to say, I'm starting to lose hope in democracy

 @Nexy @malwaretech Well, at least he doesn't seem to shill for Putin. Some mercy I guess... I much prefer a ridiculous and ridiculed leader to one who does harm on purpose because he's personally not harmed too much...  @cohentheblue @malwaretech he shill for Israel. And he is harming us all as no one before (ignoring the military state strikes), if was legal kill the half of his own country population he will do it without a doubt. > You can't reason with a populist and they followers. And you can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into. @raganwald @malwaretech they are 100% emotional, you cant reason. but you can try to apeal to they emotional side I suppose. @Nexy @malwaretech Speaking as an ex-salesperson, THIS. People sometimes have an emotional objection to buying a thing, like fear of ridicule (I sold Macs during the 90s when Windows dominated, that was real). People wouldn't say they were afraid of ridicule, so they'd talk about the price or the available software. You couldn't answer their questions directly, that would be trying to reason them out of an emotional objection. But you could appeal to a sense of exclusivity, or competence. @Nexy @malwaretech I see a late campaign appealing to men to vote Harris for their daughters. That's countering emotion with emotion. Talking to them about Harris' economic policies won't move that needle. |
