repeating “terrorist” over and over again like a thought-terminating talisman, get fucked cracker
Ansar Allah are the legitimate government of Yemen and cannot be terrorists because they are state actors
even if they were they’re doing it stop a genocide. these racists think political violence is only okay if you’re a white landowner wearing a powdered wig in the 18th century
It’s also the most burger brained zero history knowledge assertion, that a naval blockade = terrorism. Blockades have always been part of war. A naval blockade by the Union was part of defeating the Confederacy in the US civil war, yet you won’t see burger brains calling Abraham Lincoln a terrorist.
blockades and sanctions used to be such an act of war that there was a bunch of hemming and hawing about sanctioning the actual nazis prior to the war actually starting.
now the US does that shit constantly and it’s just
whether it’s acceptable to liberal assclowns.
Yeah Gaza has been under an Israeli blockade for over a decade, but that’s absolutely fine according to the US
Cuba has been under an American blockade for like 60 years.
Cuba
Same technique as “woke” and “tankie”.
We need to formalise this tactic in language and popularise it in order to drastically undercut its ability to be used. By formalising it as a bad thing (like fallacy shit) the libs and debatebros start calling it out when they see it. This way we could weaken its ability to be used considerably.
I 've encountered the term “thought-terminating cliché” a few times, that’s the best I got off the top of my head and why I did a variation
Yeah it’s slowly popularising by itself, but I am not aware of this phrase being picked up by any orgs or academically yet. That’s where we need to get it. We need some people to write about the phenomenon/tactic itself so that those articles can then be pointed to as sources for its existence, and then wiki and other shit can get made for it to further cement it as a recognised formal language thing. From that point onwards it’s just a matter of repeatedly pointing to the articles and shit to spread it more and more and more. It’ll take on a life of its own and considerably wreck the tactic.
I think this is actually really worthwhile doing as it’s one of the most common tactics of the US information and thought control system.
