Narrative Warfare: Today's US House Meeting is Warfare In Action

Red Ice Creations is, as of this post, live-streaming the U.S. House of Representatives' Judiciary Committee meeting on hate crimes and white nationalism. Here's their stream, which will also be the VOD after the fact for as long as YouTube allows it.

The utter dishonesty going on in this meeting is appalling. Not one question or statement coming from the Democrats is in good faith; it's all Frame Game moves to unthink any nuance contrary to their Narrative Warfare goals. Peddling the "hate crime" conspiracy theory to justify criminalizing American nationalism is the means to the end, and the Fake News media will carry water for this move come the evening news broadcasts. The talk shows tomorrow will pick up the baton and push the bullshit to their cultists, astroturfing the illusion of consent.

People familiar with how media-savvy police states operate will recognize this as the signal for when the Party decided to move against a segment of the population in a move to satisfy their anxiety regarding their dominant position. People who know history will recognize this as the flag for when the Party declared someone a problem, and are now moving to destroy the problem.

The sheer volume of Rhetoric being thrown around astounds me. Every argument isn't; it's all feels-bad anecdotes meant to weaponize empathy and wield it against the designated target, flat out of basic bitch salesmanship. Knowing that the facts won't help, they go for the feels betting--accurately, most of the time--that feels trump facts when making decisions. Yes, even in government. You're watching Narrative Warfare in action here, and I'm glad that Henrik and Lana are doing this real-time counter-punching.

This is distressing. Take heed, folks; history is repeating.
