everyone knows scholars lead to education and education leads to a “woke” populace that doesn’t put up with this bullshit. gotta keep everyone dumb as bricks …

Not when it comes to fascists, no.

Catholics are going to realize real fast they chose poorly with Trump. He really loves the Southern Baptist mentality. Catholics think they are getting one thing but that’s a short-sighted alliance. These people have no idea what they really face.

I like to play the game where we switch out “trans” with another group like “black” or “Jewish” and then see how it sounds … oops - sounds like they’re coming for every group that isn’t white, neurotypical, & CIS. When they’re done with the physical discrimination they’ll come for the Muslim and Jewish people and the non-Protestants, and then after they round up all the “dissidents” it will only be a certain kind of religious denomination allowed. It’s similar to the start of Nazi Germany and any other fascist regime.

I wasn’t dog whistling - what group am I supposedly trying to garner support for?

This was my intention. The title is misleading imo.

Thanks for your kind words. I am not an idiot or a conspiracy nut.

Sorry for the ambiguity. What I mean to say is that the language this general is using very clearly indicates that the US has plans in place that have been decided on prior to any serious engagement. To call it a “prediction” is a poor choice of words. Thanks for assuming I’m a conspiracy nut you guys. Also, not everyone lives on Lemmy and can respond instantly. Whether you like my comment or not it is not cool to speculate on someone based a one-word statement.

“Predicted”

Wait until he starts talking about how he didn’t do anything, it’s fake news generated by AI. He’ll say the hands are all wrong. They aren’t tiny

Don’t be Nazi shit-stirring trash here, please.

Sweet beezus that’s freaky…

This is dope. Do they just chill all day and watch for people in distress or do the handlers have to direct them?

Rotflol. Thanks for attending my TED Talk.

You seem very misogynist.

How is it confusing? You don’t think people should be held accountable for their actions? Why didn’t he conduct himself in a way that didn’t leave him in this position? Why is it her fault for speaking out and not his for acting in a way that allows this to even be happening?

I think if you couple the controlling behavior with the fact that he is at least 10 years older than her and more powerful in terms of career and influence you can begin to put together a picture of why his attitude is problematic.

The only thing I see social doing well is amplifying messages via cheerleaders and providing a channel for servicing the external client.

Yeah, if you look at the backend re: things like Apple blocking tracking data it’s clear marketing can very much exist without a ton of metrics. You just have to be creative with the advertising. It also helps to be solid on the content and placement, ie where people are receptive to messaging.

Oh, lol, yeah. I have been in marketing communications for almost 20 years across tech, finance, and other industries and there is a lot of jargon that’s worthless. I do agree with the author that much of marketing can be shooting in the dark and knowing when to actually do something worthwhile with ad dollars can be hard. Digital marketing requires specialty knowledge most marketers dont have.
