Re: Brett Kavanaugh
As for Trump, he's the greatest Conservative leader and orator the Anglosphere has witnessed since Churchill. Trump instinctively uses pretty much exactly the same rhetorical style that Churchill used. If you'd like evidence of this , I'm more than happy to present a detailed analysis of Trumps rhetoric to show you the hard evidence.
Trump IS leading the greatest political movement the USA has ever seen. If you don't understand this, you're delusional.
I've watched all the coverage of Trump addressing the big Conservative rallies in Florida, Tennessee, Georgia, Indiana etc over the past two days. He was simply devastating. I thought to myself the Democrats just can't hope compete with this kind of extraordinary political force. They wheel out Obama to stump for them, but he's just not in the same league as Trump - not even remotely close.
I predict that the Democrats are going to be THRASHED in the mid-term elections. I can feel it "in my bones" It seems to me that they're already "on the nose" politically, Fool
Let's see who right, shall we , in a few days time ?

Dachshund

The first step to paving the way for genocide has often been this very effective technique of using de-humanising language. Rats and cockroaches are often the non-human animals that are used for the comparison because people generally have very few qualms about exterminating these particular creatures. Creating a feeling of visceral revulsion in the reader/listener can be a very effective way to instigate the mass persecution of a particular group of humans that the writer/speaker requires. Hence the talk, by Dachshund and his source material, of African people having such things as an unpleasant odour.
Here again is the quote from Dachshund:

Re: Brett Kavanaugh
This is true, and it has often made me think that the best way to deal with such people is to ignore them. But sadly, given the abominable nature of some of the things that he parrots, this is difficult. I hope that I will eventually be able to do it.Eduk wrote:Personally I think Dachshund has successfully maximised the attention shown to him relative to his abilities.

Maybe not the best title.
I'm not sure if ignoring is the way to go. I mean statistically I'd say there is a 1% chance of successfully educating such a person. So perhaps a 1% effort would be appropriate
I don't have the magic answer either.

Re: Brett Kavanaugh
Obviously Dachshund and his source material use similar talk of smell in their own material:While the architects of the Final Solution were busy implementing their lethal program of racial hygiene, the Russian-Jewish poet and novelist Ilya Ehrenburg was churning out propaganda for distribution to Stalin's Red Army. These pamphlets seethed with dehumanizing rhetoric: they spoke of "the smell of Germany's animal breath,"...
The aim of creating a feeling of disgust in the reader, to make the abuse easier to perpetrate, is deemed to be well served by using the sense of smell, because bad smells are so often associated with decay and putrefaction.Dachshund wrote:(2) They [negros] emit a peculiar offensive body odour similar to Apes.

Re: Brett Kavanaugh
John, originally from the US, with connections to Australia, who lives with his English wife in Hertfordshire, England and has a son, and who has visited St Albans Cathedral: On this subject of odours, I have a question that requires your expert knowledge.
My partner is of Ghanaian extraction and she therefore has skin pigment and facial features that you would refer to as "negro". She has a 12 year-old daughter who's father was white. Her daughter's skin pigment is a little lighter than hers.
Would you say that my partner, being a "negro", emits a "peculiar offensive body odour similar to apes"? What about her daughter? Would you guess that the offensive odour would be less in her than in her mother or the same? What's the answer John? If I were to invite you to meet them, would you be happy to tell them these things to their faces? Would you be happy to tell them all the other ways in which, in your view, they, as negros, resemble apes? What do you say, John? Shall we exchange personal details and set up a little meeting? I'm willing if you are, John.
Or are you going to continue to hide behind your little dog name and spew your bile from the cowardly safety of anonymity? When you take off your dog costume and go to greet your English wife, do you become a normal human being? Or do you keep the persona that you've adopted here?
In case you hadn't noticed, John, I have taken some of the things you've said personally, because they are personal. Guess what, John. They're not just harmless banter. If I or my partner or her daughter ever met you, you would discover that.
That is all John. Unless you have the guts to reveal yourself to me, we won't be talking again.

Re: Brett Kavanaugh
Trump is simply creating an economic bubble.
If you remove all environmental protections, of course there'll be a resurgence as companies struggling to access resources suddenly have a huge amount of law hanging fruit waiting to be plucked. However, as with privatisation of essential public assets, once it's gone then so are all of the "services" provided by the asset are removed for the foreseeable future.
Trump has not only created a bubble, but is costing his people longstanding irreplaceable natural environments whose losses will not yet be understood or quantifiable - all for short term gain, which is the only kind of gain Trump seems to understand, hence his many bankruptcies.

So true! It's amazing what can be accomplished with a 50 word vocabulary and a zero comprehension of fact. Nearly everyone of his tweets is the epitome of fake news.

Yes, we are in a new world where:
“War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.”
