Twitter seems to reveal very quickly our shared willingness to cut corners with communication in order to affirm our own ideas or to challenge the ideas of others with whom we disagree. Tweets without links are really just soundbites. It's a soundbite culture! <br /><br />But I think perhaps you were too quick in your characterization of the worst kind of ideologue. I think that many of these folks actually believe their "facts are wrong." But they profess x, in order to reach goal z. They know that x is not the case. But's a strategy to claim that x is the case. It's strategic communication, which is probably just a fancy way of saying it's a lie.Sherwin Arnotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11485489947170522242noreply@blogger.com
