Different cards are used in politics. These narratives help build political perceptions. Often, they overshadow reality. Particularly in countries with low education rate, it works wonders|

Cuando la televisión pública emitió, en la #semanasanta de 2018, la llegada del Cristo de la Buena Muerte a la ciudad de #malaga con la presencia de varios ministros del gobierno del misterioso M. #Rajoy (Cospedal, Zoido, Catalá y Méndez de Vigo) nadie se quejó de la falta de pluralidad, ni mucho menos se abrió una investigación para esclarecer absolutamente nada.
Porque todos sabemos que la falta de pluralidad sucede cuando los medios de comunicación critican al #establishment

That’s why it’s called Establishment journalism. You concentrate on the people at the top, the people with power; you watch, you study how they make their moves, you get fascinated by it, and pretty soon you can’t see anything else — just the top, just the power. And the others, the people, the readers, matter so little that you don’t even bother to let them know what’s going on. You start to think like the people you cover. It can happen on any beat — business, police, politics, education. The stuff you want is from the top — you want to quote the chief, the superintendent, the chairman of the board. There are no reliable sources who earn less than $10,000 a year.

Trump's not anti-establishment, although there are some in the #establishment that don't like him because he says the quiet parts out loud. However, it's not because Trump is some threat to the system.
Day 20 ️
“spin-off of the US-based #CPAC – short for Conservative Political Action Conference – the #Sydney-based outfit described itself as a “values-based” organisation that “espouses the best of #Howard, #Reagan and #Thatcher while exploring new ideas and themes for the coming generations”.
Guests at the August event included #OneNation senator Pauline Hanson, Michelle Pearse, the CEO of the #AustralianChristianLobby, and broadcaster and soon-to-be alleged sex offender, #AlanJones.
Overseas talent included Jay Aeba, chairman of the Japanese Conservative Union and Heather Wilson, mother of six and co-founder of #GiveSendGo, a #Christian #crowdfunding network which has helped raise money for #NeoNazis and #AntiVaxxers”
“Then, in 2018, investment banker and long-time #ClimateConspiracist Maurice Newman, billionaire storage king Sam Kennard, and David Adler, of the #FarRight Australian Jewish Association (AJA), got together to form #AdvanceAustralia. Money was no problem: #HedgeFund manager and #Liberal Party donor Simon Fenwick tipped in $190,000; a further $400,000 came from Sydney #Establishment couple Rodney and Judith O’Neil, and the Taylor #winemaking family.
Advance pitched itself as a champion of the #SilentMajority – #HowardsBattlers 2.0. But its real concerns were better expressed by another early backer, #hotelier James Power, who was then engaged in a battle to prevent women from becoming members of #Brisbane’s #Tattersall’s Club.”
If you noticed a darker turn to the election this week, here’s a good explanation of the WHY and HOW. Also I see Tony got a new job.

I agree!
No question in my mind that #Starmer is a #Quisling who not only prioritises the interests of his £billionaire donors over the *genuine* needs of Britain but, more importantly, the interests of malign foreign states like Israel!
Thus:
“[..] Starmer has been tamed like a circus lion, whipped into line by the #establishment. Those pressures won’t lift once he is in government. They will intensify”

Separatists hijack Pakistan's Jaffar Express, a historic first in railway attacks. With 1,099 terror incidents in 2024, Pakistan ranks 2nd globally in terrorism. The powerless government & puppet regime remain silent, while real elected leaders are out of Parliament. Who’s really in control?

Very excited to have a new paper!!
Because the U.S. Supreme Court has essentially gutted the Establishment Clause of the U.S. Const, it is perhaps time to turn to the establishment provisions of the state constitutions to ensure some degree of separation of church and state.

Mám kamaráda v Drážďanech a ten uvažuje o emigraci – jenže právě proto, proč volí #AfD. Podle něj v Německu zase zavládl #fašismus. Prý je povoleno vyjadřovat pouze jediný správný názor a v médiích je zobrazována jediná správná realita, která neodpovídá skutečnosti. AfD jako jediná strana skutečné problémy adresuje.
Kdybyste se zeptali běžných Němců, co si myslí třeba o zavření jaderných elektráren, o přijímání uprchlíků bez limitů, asi byste zjistili, že se k těmto tématům vyjadřují neochotně. Buď opakují to co říká #establishment – což je bezpečné – nebo se bojí vyjádřit. O spoustě věcí se vůbec nemluví.
(...) Když se Němci do něčeho pustí, mají tendenci dotáhnout vše do konce, a to za jakoukoli cenu. (...) Přesně stejně uvažují Němci o odklonu od jádra, #Energiewende. Přesně stejně uvažují o příjímání uprchlíků. I kdyby se v mezidobí objevily podstatné problémy, nejsou ochotni připustit diskusi nebo snad rozhodnutí přehodnotit. Bylo to tak přeci už jednou naplánováno! Navíc, na rozdíl od Čechů, mají #Němci schopnost táhnout za jeden provaz (bohužel jakýmkoli směrem), takže když se rozhodnou, že potáhnou doleva, tak všichni a opravdu až do finále. (...) Nebo přijímání uprchlíků bez limitů. Na začátku byla uprchlická krize a heslo My to zvládnem! Jenže brzy se ukázalo, že není všechno tak skvělé a ne všichni jsou váleční uprchlíci a ne všichni mají chuť akceptovat německá pravidla fungování společnosti. (...) Uběhlo deset let a přestože problémy existují už dávno, teprve teď se o nich začíná mluvit, jenže teprve až pod tlakem rostoucí AfD. Establishment nevidí problémy v uprchlících, jako spíš v AfD.
Kamarád nikdy neměl nic proti ekologii, šetrným přístupům, elektromobilitě ani proti uprchlíkům a už vůbec ne židům. Jenže kvůli přístupu německé vlády se už několik let cítí jako myš zahnaná do kouta. Proto volí AfD, proto uvažuje o emigraci. Je extremista? - Lidé se uchylují k tomu co je k mání...

Men generally, under such a government as this, think that they ought to wait until they have persuaded the majority to alter [unjust laws]. They think that, if they should resist, the remedy would be worse than the evil. But it is the fault of the government itself that the remedy is worse than the evil. It makes it worse. Why is it not more apt to anticipate and provide for reform? Why does it not cherish its wise minority? Why does it cry and resist before it is hurt? Why does it not encourage its citizens to be on the alert to point out its faults, and do better than it would have them? Why does it always crucify Christ, and excommunicate Copernicus and Luther, and pronounce Washington and Franklin rebels?
