Is it just me or is Freep getting worse than ever? RagnarokAngel posted:What I find fascinating is the decreased number of "it was a false flag!" Posts and an increase in "well by god this is a red blood white man doing what we've been calling for for years!". Yeah, this is what I mean. Before, you could count on Freepers immediately decrying any actual violent reprisal against minority groups, even as they fantasized about doing the same themselves. But now, they're openly celebrating. So either all of the cooler heads were chased off for not supporting Trump in the run-up to the 2016 election, or Trump's win has emboldened them all and allowed their dumb fear and hatred to become acceptable in polite society.

It's both, really; anyone not fanatically loyal to Trump has long since been purged and now that they feel safe enough that Obama is not going to be sending Flash Mobs and/or UN Peacekeepers after them they can really start to let their fascist flag fly.

Same thing happened with Breivik, in less than 24 hours it went from "kill all muslim scum" to "false flag" to "they pushed him too far" to "they weren't really children, it was a communist indoctrination camp for young men". I'm just shocked to see the same thing happen on social media. Things have changed a lot, fascists are feeling empowered and no longer feel shame about expressing their views publicly.

Building and testing a model of the expansion and cross-association of right-wing reactionaries is a hell of a lot more significant than any of your contributions. Even if the model is wrong (and it sounds better and better every day), it gives us something to test and make predictions against. Come up with a better model about how reactionaries and associated groups function or... go kindly post about something else.

This isn't really testing though it's just "yeah i guess it confirms my perceptions". This isn't even a "Double blind" test as there's no control, it's an observational study, which is often super dubious. That's before the fact that there's no set variables, no real hypothesis, and no way to measure what's being said.

That's before the fact that there's no set variables, no real hypothesis, and no way to measure what's being said. I agree with this criticism, however much like economics, the social sciences aren't always able to present the same level of rigour, simply because controlling for all the variables in the "experiment" (or even finding out what to measure) is often impossible. We can't really isolate some reactionaries, set them up with some alternative scenarios of how the world works and see if they retreat further into Narrativism. This doesn't reduce the need for an explanatory framework (or for the social sciences), it just makes it more difficult to pull apart all the confounding factors. As for testing, I guess you could say that Prester Jane has made some predictions around how all of the Narrativist groups are going to react as events move forward. The best we can do is see if these predictions hold out (particularly in terms of alliances between different Narrativist groups) or attempt to understand what is incorrect about the model when they don't. A recent example of that is the Southern Baptists condemning racism. Southern Baptists seem like a good shoe-in for Alt-Right allies (they were major Trump voters, etc), but something seems to have kept them from embracing that path wholeheartedly. I don't really know enough about Evangelicals to speculate about why they may have done what they did, but it's a good point towards revising the model.

My problem is Prester Jane generally speaks in very broad platitudes using a lot of buzzwords. I'm making conjecture but it seems a lot like the cult like environment she grew up rubbed off on her because she's using some similar (though ultimately not as harmful) techniques. Suckering in people with lofty promises of predicting an outgroup's behavior and future events, and using catchy buzz words to make it sound legitimate. The reality is for how many words she uses, her predictions are so vague that they can seemingly apply to anything the right does and verify the belief of people who are already sold on it. She's using a lot of previous research around group thinking, filing off the serial numbers, and presenting it as her own work based on personal experience. That isn't science. You can feel it has some merit but don't claim it's a scientific undertaking worthy of the name. I'm aware that social sciences aren't as rigid as hard sciences, I'm getting a PhD. in psychology. You can't just present some framework and be like "hey maybe it's wrong, but it's better than nothing". You'd be laughed out of any scientific institution. It's like claiming creationism isn't a perfect explanation for why our ecosystem is like it is, but it's better than nothing. Nothing would be better than incorrect, unverified material.

BREAKING: Trump Supporter Stabbed By Armenian Gang Member After Being Identified As Conservativequote:A Trump supporter was stabbed and is currently in critical condition in Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center after being identified as a conservative and subsequently stabbed by an Armenian gang member. .... After noticing these stickers, the Armenian gang member is reported to have walked back to his car before re-approaching Mr. Foreman. The car’s other passengers stepped out of the vehicle wielding knives. Within in a matter of minutes, Mr. Foreman was stabbed nine times right before one of the gang members screamed, “I’m going to shank you whiteboy!” quote:To: Mechanicos quote:

RagnaraokAngel believe it or not I hear you on the potential for my upbringing to have impacted the way I think and although this certainly is not the thread for it I am a good deal more open to having a discussion about that topic than you might imagine. However (as I am certain you can understand given your education) in order for me to have that conversation I would need to first believe that my interlocutor was acting in good faith. And this: RagnarokAngel posted:Yo I know you're proud of the cult following you built on this stuff but you don't need to drag it in every thread. does not leave me with the impression that you are interested in discussing the topic in good faith. Rather, it leaves me with the impression that you have gone out of your way to try to provoke me because you are taking umbrage to my participation in the thread. Your followup justification of "well she might just be creating a cult without realizing it because her past may have left her with very little agency over her actions" is equally unproductive from my perspective. For the most part I try and avoid commenting on situations like this because I personally loathe being the topic of discussion as opposed to my work being the topic of discussion. But in this case I wanted to clarify that I hear the underlying substance of what you are trying to say RagnarokAngel and think there might even be an opportunity for a conversation that could help me improve my self awareness- but to have that conversation it would need to start off on a completely different note than this one has. Edit: Mustached Demon posted:PSA: please keep the bickering, no matter how benign, out of this thread. It's bad enough we read and discuss Freep. Besides, it's what the op would have wanted.
