The Left is Already Preparing Tomorrow's Fake News
A
reader strolling down the street in Chicago spotted a recruiting poster
for “Activist Jobs,” a bit of an oxymoron. “Activism” by implication is
volunteer work undertaken because the goal sought by the acts in
question is so important to the “activist.” Goal-oriented acts that are
compensated are called “work,” not “activism.” But in the photograph
below, the two different categories of endeavor are conflated:
The confusion is deliberate and speaks to a larger strategy of the Left, also based on deception.
The
American Left has relied on its mastery of the media – enthusiastically
aided and abetted by the 90% of national political journalists today
that are progressives of one stripe or another – for its political power
for decades. Ever since the 1950s, the left has been deliberately
creating events in order to attract media attention that pushes a
narrative confirming the justice of their demands. It learned that the
new medium of television was perfect for creating artificial dramas that
would sway support its way.
The
Civil Rights Movement was the first to discover this video
dramaturgical approach to politics, when racist politicians in the South
(every one of them a Democrat, a fact that has been consigned to
Orwell’s Memory Hole) brutalized black demonstrators asking for the
right to eat at a lunch counter next to whites, or other perfectly just
demands. Television audiences worldwide grasped who the villains and
heroes were, and the struggle was won once the narrative took hold among
Americans. Inevitably, defenders of the old order were marginalized,
looking horrible.
