The US House of representatives is preparing to vote next week on a resolution that would deem “Free Palestine” to be “an antisemitic slogan.”

If anybody votes against this, they’ll say they voted to support Colorado terrorist attack.

Because

  • propaganda is most effective when defining and directing allowable discourse
  • economics as understood by the electorate needs to be simplified and restricted in order to be controlled
  • terms like ‘liberal’ have been subsumed into identity politics to direct attention away from economic possibilities
  • social issues are emotional and so more manipulable
  • this misdirection allows for a controlled opposition, much like brands on a store shelf competing for sales yet made by the same company
