Most of the time prejudiced people conceal their true beliefs and attitudes because they fear others’ criticism. They express prejudice only when the norms in a given context clearly communicate approval to do so. They need something in the immediate environment to signal that it is safe to freely express their prejudice.

Disparagement humor appears to do just that by affecting people’s understanding of the social norms – implicit rules of acceptable conduct – in the immediate context.

For instance, in studies, men higher in hostile sexism – antagonism against women – reported greater tolerance of gender harassment in the workplace upon exposure to sexist versus neutral (nonsexist) jokes. Men higher in hostile sexism also recommended greater funding cuts to a women’s organization at their university after watching sexist versus neutral comedy skits. Even more disturbing, other researchers found that men higher in hostile sexism expressed greater willingness to rape a woman upon exposure to sexist versus nonsexist humor.



How did sexist humor make the sexist men in these studies feel freer to express their sexist attitudes? Imagine that the social norms about acceptable and unacceptable ways of treating women are represented by a rubber band. Everything on the inside of the rubber band is socially acceptable; everything on the outside is unacceptable.

Sexist humor essentially stretched the rubber band; it expanded the bounds of acceptable behavior to include responses that would otherwise be considered wrong or inappropriate. So, in this context of expanded acceptability, sexist men felt free to express their antagonism without the risk of violating social norms and facing disapproval from others. Sexist humor signaled that it’s safe to express sexist attitudes.

Apparently Trump's campaign has sent a cease and desist letter to CNN for reporting a poll which, like several others, including one by Republican-slanted Fox News, showed Biden with a lead. Part of me finds it comical, part of me finds it distressing, distressing because it's a direct attack by our President on the Constitution's guarantee of freedom of speech.

Say what y'all will, he's giving a master class in rhetoric and propaganda. I mean, the supposed "masters" who have all the power in a literal sense are failing utterly to stop him despite their confirmable control of all cultural centers. Love or hate him, I'd start taking notes. Again, he's giving a master class for free. If you ain't taking notes, well, you're stupid.

He's undisputably a sophist on the level worthy of the notice of the false pagan gods. If I were opposed to him root and branch I'd be taking notes in the hopes of finding a way to counter his mastery of the art, not trying to spark communist insurrections that are only serving to ensure his re-election in a landslide...

Master in rhetoric and propaganda ? Yea maybe to the blind in the south who are stupid enough to wave confederate flags and promote losing ideologies. Trump is a moron. The only reason he's in power is because the Republicans refuse to impeach him because they want a republican in there for their own power. He's such a master in propaganda. He left a whole paper trail on twitter of everything he ever said. Contrdicting all his previous tweets. The people who vote for him are the one who secretly want a dictator or autocracy.

He was elected on the backs of uneducated Americans

Eh, not really. Have you ever tried to talk to people outside an urban environment? You ever try to join a team in a bowling alley on league night as a total newb asking someone to share some advice to a simple novice unknowing as to how to even throw the ball? Yeah, ya won't have much luck but all the teams will be more than happy to tell ya where ya ought to start for pennies on the dime. You ever try to spark a conversation with successful members of a farmer's market? No, not the one held next to a Starbucks, a real farmer's market. One where you'll find quite a lot of the likes of me and even the foes of me, but they know me, and I know them. Thus, I'd rather pay them a premium rather than get my produce and seed from some faceless corp. like Lowes et. all.

Death Cultists like you are all the same. You are as ignorant of us as we are unable to grasp your alien mindset. I'd label that as a grace of God. I am thankful that I just cannot for the life of me understand in the visceral sense why the Fallen Angels/Demons chose Hell over Heaven...

Is multiculturalism destroying the USA?
Steps to destroy the USA


1.Turn America into a bilingual or multi-lingual and bi-cultural country. History shows that no nation can survive the tension, conflict, and antagonism of two or more competing languages and cultures. It is a blessing for an individual to be bilingual; however, it is a curse for a society to be bilingual.


2. Invent 'multiculturalism' and encourage immigrants to maintain their culture. I would make it an article of belief that all cultures are equal. That there are no cultural differences. I would make it an article of faith that the Black and Hispanic dropout rates are due to prejudice and discrimination by the majority. Every other explanation is out of bounds.


3. The key is to celebrate diversity rather than unity. As Benjamin Schwarz said in the Atlantic Monthly recently:'The apparent success of our own multi-ethnic and multi-cultural experiment might have been achieved not by tolerance but by hegemony.


4. I would make our fastest growing demographic group the least educated. I would add a second underclass, unassimilated, under-educated, and antagonistic to our population. I would have this second underclass have a 50% dropout rate from high school."


5. Get big foundations and business to give these efforts lots of money. I would invest in ethnic identity, and I would establish the cult of 'Victimology.'


I would get all minorities to think their lack of success was the fault of the majority. I would start a grievance industry blaming all minority failure on the majority population."


6. Include dual citizenship and promote divided loyalties. I would celebrate diversity over unity. I would stress differences rather than similarities. Diverse people worldwide are mostly engaged in hating each other - that is, when they are not killing each other."


"A diverse, peaceful, or stable society is against most historical precedent. People undervalue the unity it takes to keep a nation together. Look at the ancient Greeks. The Greeks believed that they belonged to the same race; they possessed a common language and literature; and they worshipped the same gods. All Greece took part in the Olympic games. A common enemy Persia threatened their liberty. Yet all these bonds were not strong enough to overcome two factors: local patriotism and geographical conditions that nurtured political divisions. Greece fell. "E. Pluribus Unum" -- From many, one. In that historical reality, if we put the emphasis on the 'pluribus' instead of the 'unum,' we can balkanize America as surely as Kosovo."


7. I would place all subjects off limits ~ make it taboo to talk about anything against the cult of 'diversity.' I would find a word similar to 'heretic' in the 16th century - that stopped discussion and paralyzed thinking. Words like 'racist' or 'xenophobe' halt discussion and debate."


"Having made America a bilingual/bi-cultural country, having established multiculturalism, having the large foundations fund the doctrine of 'Victimology,'


8. I would next make it impossible to enforce our immigration laws. I would develop a mantra: That because immigration has been good for America , it must always be good. I would make every individual immigrant sympathetic and ignore the cumulative impact of millions of them."

Yeah.... this is just factually inaccurate. Switzerland, Belgium, and Canada are officially multicultural and multilingual, and have been for well over a century in each case. They are among the best educated and most prosperous countries in the world. The rest of that guy's post is too stupid to respond to.

I would suggest avoiding "Yahoo! Answers" when doing online research.

@End are you talking about Trump? If so you've fallen for the populist trap. Trump acts like he's working class but he is not. He is conning you. I mean they are all liars but let's not pretend Trump somehow isn't. If it were the end of the world and the ground splits, your hand barely clinging on, he'd stamp his foot on your hand and then shove you off that cliff full force. He hates the "little people" and he can barely disguise it. The only way to defeat the likes of him and his equivalents on the left, is a united working and poor class, with middle and upper middle class support. Otherwise, count on being screwed over by these people without end. For those who think I sound crazy, remember people all over the world are slaving away for corporations, there is child labor, and we in the west turn some sort of amazing blind eye.

Oh and Trump isn't brilliant. He deploys toddler tactics that everyone can see right through.

And while I hate to derail your point a bit I gotta point this rather significant fact out. See, we like to dress it up, use euphemisms, etc. But really, there is only one of two ways Humans can organize themselves in any way that can last long term. A)Ethnically and B)Religiously. Trump is going for B by and large and anyone with half a brain ought to commend him for that one as that's the only way you "trump" A.

I hate it, but I ain't about to incur the consequences of denying reality. Only a common "God" can overcome differences in accent, skin tone, eye color, etc. Without that common factor? Well, here's an equation that history hasn't failed to verify every time it came up without that mitigating factor I just mentioned. Diversity+Proximity=War. War to the knife, the hilt, the extermination/subjugation/enslavement of the other/loser. Again, I hate that fact, but a fact it remains. Deal with it or die a fool.

Translation: A) Tribally (which actually doesn't work, given how the tribes are constantly fighting each other) and B) Ideologically or through a shared value system and worldview. (A often opposes B.)

I mean the only reality "religiously" is that the Christian pro-Trump right very much seems to want everyone in this country to have to live their way and by their rules, which isn't a pathway to stability because it means suppressing everyone who doesn't want to live that way. So all those people will constantly be fighting against the Christian right and their need to impose their "value" system on everyone. And gosh, without a way to unify the tribes, it seems we have... division.

Even you put God in quotes, so you must know that people can unify behind anything they share in common and are passionate about?

Hahaha, Ok then, here's another concept for ya: "Better Jehovah than Foucault". I get in full the sentiment and logic behind it. As I always seek more data, please, I humbly implore you provide me some. What do you think makes me agree with that? And no, it ain't just because I'm a believer. Think on it long and hard. Please, I will truly owe you one if you give me something coherent that I can learn from .

[marooned]

Hahaha, Ok then, here's another concept for ya: "Better Jehovah than Foucault".

I don't understand why it has to be one way. If the Christian right wants to rail against abortion rights, LGBTQ rights, and wants to break the separation of church and state, all of those are aggressive moves involving overstepping one's bounds since it starts infringing on the rights of others. They aren't being persecuted from my pov, it's that when they start becoming invasive that problems start. It's the difference between living according to one's own values and insisting that everyone else live by them too. (Although I really suspect it's actually piles of money driving the Christian right ahem, like with everything.)

That link was pointing out khs's passive aggression to anyone not picking up that he/she is trolling. He/she was not censored. He/she was not reported. The only thing he/she was compelled to participate in is fact-checking before posting. One picture he/she put a caption "Piles of bricks, the building blocks of a new society". Insinuating who knows what, when in reality, the context was of a kid pointing to a heap of cinder blocks which had been suspiciously planted around the city near the protests. The other picture was of crime statistics that are near mathematically impossible. Its tiresome. Its really not hard at all to find pictures of black people tearing shit up right now, how hard is it to at least get it right?

I don't care about your mores. My problem is with the trolling, intellectual laziness, and slander to get a reaction. The only thing I ask is A) get the facts straight, and B) be direct with your opinions, don't be a coward about it hiding behind memes and hypothetical debates while you feel out the room. Some other guy came right out and basically said he sees chinese as shady and africans no better than animals. No issues with him. I have no problems with people saying what they really think. Honesty is refreshing.

So I'm not sure who you're referring to by "you". No need to put words in mouths. If you are interested in what I care about, you can always ask. Unless you are a mind-reader of course. In which case I'm sure you can continue having at it by yourself and let us know what I think, again.

Not following this convo but I noticed the word "protests" in quotes and since I frequently see the misperception that there were zero (0) peaceful protests I want to clarify that they did exist in addition to violence and riots (and not as a replacement to them). Dunno if that's an actual misunderstanding or just a rhetorical thing but if you didn't know there Google-able images k thanks

[ashlesha]

lol back when things were crazier my church invited me to come pray at the spot where floyd died (about two miles from where I live) and i didn't go because
1 my boyfriend was concerned about antifa violence and i didn't want to make him scared for me
2 I was concerned about police violence because I'm vulnerable to more serious brain injuries if I get hit in the head by a rubber bullet
3 covid lol

The worst thing about president Trump isn't even his ridiculous policies or that he's an idiot. It's that he's boring.

When Trump was elected, I was anticipating a Charlie Sheen-esque Se-beast. But he doesn't smoke, he doesn't drink or party, and he doesn't fuck hookers. Well, he probably fucks hookers, but he doesn't own it like Charlie Sheen.

I'm pretty sure he fucks hookers. Hell, he even pays his wife. Some people say that that weeks-long delay in her moving to Washington was spent in her renegotiating her contract.

Not that he's the first guy to do that. But he's one of the guys who has to.

Speak for yourself. I got plenty of problems with him, but him failing to be entertaining isn't one of them. I am awaiting with eagerness that first debate with Joe "Senility Incarnate" Biden.

Here's the line that'll seal the deal and ensure Trump gets re-elected with gusto: "Hey, Creepy Joe, what state are we in right now?"

He'll fail that question hard one way or another and, well, the attack add writes itself after that. It'll be the inverse of the attack add LBJ used against Goldwater to great effect. I mean, do you really want a senile old man with his had on the nuclear button as the president of the most powerful and most heavily nuked up nation on Earth? Trump's a lot of things, but senile ain't one of em'.

Also, he's smart to not indulge in more sin than he already does. I doubt he fucks hookers (why would he since he has a literal supermodel waifu), but he does "trade-in" his wives for younger models on the regular. Not a thing I approve of, but compared to the sins committed by the PTB he pisses off on the regular the man's a fucking saint!

I don't know what to make of this as I have a difficult time these days with political "truth" and I think it's because my read is so sensitive to the social situation around me which is unstable and so the chaos is in me too. I don't know who this guy interviewing is (for instance if he's really looking for truth or if it's more he has an agenda) and have only started reading about what happened to Venezuela.

Truth be told about interviewer guy, my ears perked up at his introducing Rogliani as "articulate" as it's now a political buzz word in my mind and it made me question his motives immediately.

Anyway I fear a bouncing back and forth in which we go increasingly radical on both sides, each side reacting to the other's extremism by becoming more extreme itself.

And the other problem is we need both the left and the right. They're supposed to complement each other and check each other. They're supposed to work together to move ahead wisely. But we are so far from that. Each side wants to destroy the other. And ideally I would think the centrists should be there to help point out when destabilization is occurring, to restore things, but they have seemingly become this "whatever you do, don't change anything" group.

Anyway I think this guy has some sort of agenda or at least slant. For instance he seems to want to downplay what's happening with covid... Like it's bad in the US. I can't see calling it otherwise. And of course he ends with complaints about conservatives being suppressed in the media and I'm wary of those arguments as well because they often are hiding an agenda. A lot of conservatives complaining about censorship and freedom of speech and what not seem to be just fine suppressing the other side. They just don't want their side suppressed.

Like I'm worried about these things too, but the right has been so disingenuous in their arguments that they undermine the case they are making. It doesn't feel like it's coming from the right place.

So yeah this isn't fully in the spirit of truth I conclude, though that doesn't mean there is nothing true here. The spirit of truth would acknowledge that Trump has been corrupting our government as well instead of treating it like all is good and just in current USA.
