Wow. Someone over there is defending him being a fan of the Proud Boys guy because he claims the Proud Boys aren’t a terrorist group (despite having been declared as such).
He says they’re “very extreme right at worst”, as if there’s some sort of sliding scale on the right wing that eventually gets to “extreme right”, “very extreme right”, “terrorist organization” just naturally…and he isn’t aware they crossed the line years ago.
An example is that I generally despise Jordan Peterson and most of what he says, but I often quote one thing that Jordan Peterson said (in the linked video) because I think it’s a good summary of why toxic positivity doesn’t work....
If a shitbag says the sky is blue, you don’t need to say “Hey, the shitbag was right about the sky being blue”. You can just say “The sky is blue”.
These types of shitbags take advantage of psychological techniques to gain followers. Getting people to agree with them is a sort of a “foot-in-the-door” technique.
The moment you say “I don’t agree with everything Jordan Peterson says, but…”, he’s got his foot in your door in turning you into a supporter.
“But I’m smarter than that,” you say. “I’m just an independent thinker who can separate the argument from the individual”. Jordan Peterson has a PhD in psychology, and has made his living off of manipulating people. He’s better equipped than you. And as you may know, thinking “it won’t/can’t happen to me” makes you more likely to become a victim.
Other phrases these guys love to hear people say are things like…
“I don’t agree with him, but I like to listen to arguments from people that I disagree with.”
“I know he’s making shit up, but he’s just funny. I listen just to laugh at him.”
“He’s absolutely wrong, but he makes people so angry. I listen to see what people are raging about.”
These are all foot-in-the-door scenarios. And that’s how they make their eventual “sale”.
You can be recorded. Your likeness can’t be shared without your permission. But if you aren’t the subject of the photo/video, then it should be fine to share. (Think of a tourist uploading a picture they took at a tourist attraction with a crowd in the background…they aren’t the focus of the picture, so it’s ok to share/publish)
The onus is not on the sharer to prove that they’ve obtained consent to share likenesses, for better or for worse. But if your likeness is being misused, there are usually avenues to get it removed.
As for your example, I’m betting they either tricked him into signing, or offered him a lower penalty if he provided consent.
Thanks. I often open my windows when I can, but I’ve been getting really dry skin since I’ve started opening them. Which made me think I need a humidifier…
My home’s air seems to fluctuate between way too dry and way too humid, and I don’t know how or why or what to do to fix it, lol
