Radio Blue Heart is on the air!
My musings, thoughts, ideas and obsessions. I am a nobody from North Carolina. This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special. If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.

How To Avoid Swallowing War Propaganda

Cutting through bad arguments, distractions, and euphemisms to see murder for what it is.
probablyasocialecologist

Things are not true because a government official says them.

Do not be bullied into accepting simple-minded sloganeering.

Scrutinize the arguments.

Keep the focus on what matters.

Emphasis matters.

Imagine how everything would sound if the other side said it.

Watch out for euphemisms.

Remember what people were saying five minutes ago.

Listen to the Chomsky on your shoulder.
