A good write up from the CBC. This subject is quite fascinating to me. It can be applied to so many different fronts.

Sociologist and researcher Keith Kahn-Harris is the author of Denial: The Unspeakable Truth. He says denialism is sometimes a cynical effort in which industries or individuals attempt to create chaos and confusion to preserve some kind of benefit for themselves, and in doing so pollute the public discourse with misinformation.

The Dangers of Denialism
Re: The Dangers of Denialism
Mostly preserving power and financial standing in this case. Many pundits on the right have ulterior motives, damage to the country be damned.TheForce wrote: ↑Sat Nov 28, 2020 1:53 pmA good write up from the CBC. This subject is quite fascinating to me.

Re: The Dangers of Denialism
Anti Trumpers weren't in denial, kml. Big difference. We stood up to tyranny. Tyranny lost...for now.
They/them, non-binary and proud.
Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

Re: The Dangers of Denialism
Tyranny is alive and well in Michigan thanks to Whitmer.
Biden will not be running things. He barely knows who he is these days. Harris- or someone behind her- will be.

Re: The Dangers of Denialism
You mean someone who has the guts to fight COVID rather than masturbate in the woods with their rifles like most GOP legislators in the Michigan House and Senate are right now?

Re: The Dangers of Denialism
Your girl won’t even talk to the legislature, preferring to push executive orders (which were eventually thrown out) and her government cronies rather than even talk to the legislature. That’s a dictator.MotorCityRadioFreak wrote: ↑Sun Nov 29, 2020 12:36 amYou mean someone who has the guts to fight COVID rather than masturbate in the woods with their rifles like most GOP legislators in the Michigan House and Senate are right now?
Her ideas to fight COVID have failed and continue to fail.

Re: The Dangers of Denialism
Bullshit. The gas tax bill for roads and COVID relief has been on the table for months. The GOP decided to go trophy hunting while the hospitals fill up. Put up or shut up.

Re: The Dangers of Denialism
Fill up? That’s what they said months ago, and most weren’t even close to capacity, some were even empty! Of course, that’s when Whitmer thought it was a great idea to stuff them into nursing homes,MotorCityRadioFreak wrote: ↑Sun Nov 29, 2020 4:09 amBullshit.

I am talking about her mandates for masks, shutting things down, etc. Whitmer is the main reason the economy in this state is in the tank due to her tyranny. Why should the taxpayers bail her stupidity out? I feel bad for those who lost their jobs because of her.

I'm guessing 136 based on what's on the state's website and this tracker site (go to 'Patient Census' tab):
