I think its a pretty good tell, I mean most facebook pages that are libertarian pages have a ton of RP stuff on it. Well, main Rand I guess now. But still, just saying its not too prevalent here. No "Stand With Rand" nonsense.

I met Odin a few times in NYC. We participated in some Occupy events together. He told me about this website and how it sadly became co-opted by the Democrats. We had the same problem in GA. Always struggling against those trying to co-opt us into partisan politics. Quite tiring.

I thought you might enjoy this-just a little http://www.salon.com/2013/08/10/the_tea_partys_paranoid_aesthetic/

I have been mulling this over a bit. The cultivation of paranoia does not just belong to the Tea Party or to the younger crowd. It seems that there was a deep paranoia/futility that existed with the Cold War. It is how this information is filtered down.

[-] 0 points by shoozTroll (17632) 10 years ago

I believe it has to do with a co-option of "modern libe(R)tarianism".

As youths we all felt some level of nihilism, it's not unusual.

At it's inception, the movement attracted a broad spectrum of "left wing" interests, from traditional unions to flat out communists, but there was also a heavy influence from Ron Paul libe(R)tarians, both on the ground and on the forum.

I can remember the many conversations I had with them here.

As their infection here was quelled, I can recall the rise of a paranoid FEAR of co-option.

FEAR of Moveon

FEAR of Dems

FEAR of the very unions that helped provide the boots on the ground in those early days.

Soon thereafter, the list of demands, instead of being distilled to it's essence, simply disappeared, along with the plan to field actual candidates for office.

FEAR of involvement became the new hue and cry. A belief that things are so corrupt that they couldn't get near it without corrupting themselves. In a very real way showing a lack of confidence in themselves, and their resolve to change things in the here and now, in the political arena that affects us all every single day.

Lets go back now to all those libe(R)tarians that were around in the early days. Recall that for all the FEAR of left wing co-option, not a word was spoken about a libe(R)tarian co-option.

Keep in mind that for all their rhetoric, modern American libe(R)tarians are very much a part of the right wing.

The huge numbers on the street and the high level of public support in the early days must have struck them hard, as their biggest fear of all is a consolidation of the left.

That had to be stopped in it's tracks.

What better way to do that, then to shut down positive press coverage and push the left wing away from the movements anarchistic roots.

How many times have you seen that happen, even here on the forum?

In those early days here, this place was filled with all manner of left wingers, young and old. All pushed away by bots and puppets and attacks from right wingers and libe(R)tarians.

Before I get off on anymore tangents, I'll finish it up.

The powers that inform the modern libe(R)tarian mind set, decided that if they couldn't control this movement, they would have to assure their handlers that it would be unable to directly affect legislation. That any aversion to the left wing would have to be magnified, along with a magnification of any libe(R)tarian ideas it could co-opt.

And so the Koch's said, we don't care much what OWS does, as long as it keeps it's hands off the government we paid so dearly for.

Keep their focus away from the States, and keep their focus on the federal government, that we want to dismantle anyway.

And so it goes.

[Removed]

Distract, dissuade and direct.

Towards the goals of the libe(R)tarians, and away from the goals of the left.

Vilifying them wherever possible.

It was divide and conquer that drove away most of the left.

Thanks.

I like this one too, as I feel it here almost every day.

"Keep their focus away from the States, and keep their focus on the federal government, that we want to dismantle anyway."

It plays directly into the desires of the libe(R)tarian movement.

I used to pay for TV. One night I was channel surfing and I saw Beck. I never listened to him before. He started crying and that's when I decided to become a nihilist. It just hit me like a lightening bolt. Naturally I don't have cable anymore. What kind of nihilist would pay to watch TV?

[-] 0 points by GirlFriday (17435) 10 years ago

The interesting part about this piece is that it does not delve into the who funds and maintains it and this may, in the end, be another attempt to excuse the behavior. There certainly is a plethora of them running on the internet in the last few days and is a concentrated effort to reinvent themselves. The good versus evil concept works very well with Beck. Beck is a Mormon. Mk-ultra-esque intrigue galore.The problem is that good versus evil works very well..........unless there is money involved. Militant adherents unless it's business. Like the Hyatt. Don't believe in caffeine or alcohol........unless there is money involved. It's very.......schizophrenic.

I should have been more clear. The cold war paranoia bit was actually a response to your post.

[Removed]

[-] -1 points by GirlFriday (17435) 10 years ago

The elasticity of personality research would go back much further than mk-ultra. I say that because of propaganda, advertising, Cooley's Looking Glass Self theory, The Prince, and religion.

Beck does not identify these circus masters and neither does the author.

[Removed]

[-] 1 points by GirlFriday (17435) 10 years ago

I doubt very seriously that the author has a lack of familiarity. He/She makes the attempt to explain the attraction rather than the root cause. In fact, that's the focus. That's fine because there are plenty of articles, websites and a few books where that would be the primary focus. That said, Beck is presented as a victim of his own ideology. It doesn't occur to the author that Beck has a motive and that he may very well know, as does the entire Fox crew, that it is part of a larger and lengthier argument of the Constitutional debates. It reads more like an apologetic.

On the one hand it is almost a dig at the Tea Party and on the other seeks to purify them. Those poor dingalings.

Thus far the author has written one other piece at the site . On the other hand, there is the 10% of infiltration into media.

Actually, the problem that I have with suggesting that the postal workers that .........went postal (and workplace violence in general) stems from human engineering is that it hides this:

http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/archive/?date=19911115&slug=1317398

In many of these instances where a worker loses their mind and goes on a spree they are painted as this individual who was a lunatic from the start. Sometimes they are. Many times they aren't. In doing so, management's methods are never questioned. For the post office, it actually was questioned due to the many in the spotlight occurrences.

When you start looking at cases like Loughner there is a different type of hiding information that we are looking at. For all of the who knew what and when did you know it and why wasn't it stopped, there is the issue that is completely and totally avoided. 'Cuz it's profitable to continue to do so. The easy way out is to say social engineering. It does play its part. This is quite true. However, it fails to address the problem of, the inability to afford medication and had the guy been admitted to a mental health facility then he would have been medicated and released and gone on to do what he did.

I think the number one question is what is gained from pretending that this started in the 1960s? I think the answer would be promoting fear.

Killing Sprees 1900-1940

Sure, commentators would be all about the sensationalism which would include fear. Big money in fear. Especially when you look at whom their information is geared to. When you look at that, especially during specific time periods there is a huge cultural difference. Many people could not read or write. You are looking at kids that worked in factories. Hell, many people could not afford to place an obituary let alone buy a daily paper.

The United States was/is an extremely violent country. There is no human engineering here for those killings in the above. The most interesting thing about that time period is that the media would do a every crime is the Black Hand or every crime is an anarchist. If you look at the ship masts at Ellis Island, there are two notable questions: Is the individual an anarchist? Is the individual a polygamist?

I have no idea what records Virginia Tech keeps. I have no idea if any of their research would qualify as cutting edge. Here is their website https://www.research.vt.edu/areas-research You can pop around there. I am not a psychology fan, sociology is where I am at.

Here is the thing. The opportunity existed then. The interest existed then especially when you look at the eugenics movement. Locations existed then http://www.nlm.nih.gov/hmd/diseases/early.html

Serial killers? Not so sure that I see a difference between before and after 1960.

AND there is a very good track record that gives a certain validity to this conspiracy theory. There is no denying it. That said, there is also the amount of rhetoric that simply uses these events for their own political ends and most often to hide that which is necessary for prevention. I need more information to go on than what is provided to consider there to be a possibility that any of these cats are manipulated by the government to kill lotsa folks.

But, see here is the thing. Do social workers, therapists, psychologists that listen day in and day out and over and over to violence and the issues that stem from it encounter KNOWN issues of their own? Yes. Are there others in the military that have objected to the war and the indiscriminate killing that accompany it encountering KNOWN issues? Yes. Is there KNOWN discrimination against Muslims? Yes.

Simply having attended Virginia Tech is simply not enough for me.

PTSD didn't have a name until the 1970s. But, that doesn't mean that it didn't exist. In fact, Hemingway wrote a short story that smacked of it. It's occurred for centuries. Why wait?

Quite obviously, it's an opinion. I'm surprised you had to ask. I don't think there is a scientific way to discern if a piece of writing is a doggerel or not. Certainly, even if there was, I did not present it here.

This is a forum my friend, and forums are mostly composed of opinion pieces. If you are looking for facts, may I suggest you read highly regarded newspapers and/or peer reviewed scientific journals.

May I ask, if you don't like to read the opinions of others, why are you perusing a forum?

It's natural to ask questions, but since your question had such an obvious answer for anyone who ever used a forum I found it surprising. Perhaps this is the first time you use a forum. I don't know. Anyhow, I hope I was able to help out by clarifying that forums are full of opinions and that this is entirely normal. There are mediums which promote facts almost 100% of the time. Forums are not one of them. They are for sharing opinions. For example, you don't use a forum for serious education or scientific research.

[-] -3 points by fannythames (-17) 10 years ago

Didn't vote myself down. The forum has been re-engineered so new users don't get a free point when posting a comment. This way, those with big high scores can remain alone at the top. It's a way to keep a small clique in control, instead of having a big forum with a big community where everyone is equal. The other trick is to censor the hell out of new users. The idea is to have a forum with a limit of 10 or so users, all pro-Democrats like yourself. Partisan politics are what are being pushed here. It's time for a new Occupy forum. This one has been heavily compromised with execrable totalitarian style moderation.

[-] -3 points by fannythames (-17) 10 years ago

As usual, you miss the point because your logic is stuck is old tired traditional ways.

Every forum gets attacked by spam, bots, etc... The answer is not to beef up moderation and censorship. By doing this, we shoot ourselves in the foot. The forum has fewer users, postings, and less plurality of thought because of the heightened censorship.

What we must do is embrace community, free speech, and encourage plurality of ideas. We need more users here, not less. The best way to do that is to stop censorship all together. To stop moderation. And to give each user the power with the correct tools to moderate the forum themselves. Give me the freedom to read anyone I want, but also the freedom to ignore anyone I want. Give me tools so that I can ignore users, but also ignore keywords and postings on certain topics. Someone wants to ignore profanity? Boom, the system filters out posts and comments with profanity for him? Someone wants to read the forum as is, no problem either.

What are you scared of? Why do you need moderators to choose what you should be able to read? Haven't you ever ventured to the park without your mom?

We don't need moderators, just like we don't need politicians. We don't need hierarchy. Everyone here should be equal. No special moderation privileges, no points. Just equal. Everyone should have the power to moderate the forum for themselves, by themselves.
