Much of the trouble in today's world was initiated by Gramscians, even if many of the folks who carry it out are "useful idiots" who aren't especially socialist.Gregg the Obscurenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18842286.post-29019598850207413592012-08-04T13:08:01.267-05:002012-08-04T13:08:01.267-05:00"I know this sounds crazy...." Ya thin..."I know this sounds crazy...." Ya think!? Thanks for providing the links, they were quite helpful and enlightening. <br />"how dare you deprive me of my right to choose my reality" - say what? No wonder I am unable to communicate with some people - it's like we use the same words, but our definitions of those words are nowhere close. <br />"to control the construction of reality" - ???? I'm flabbergasted! Such a Realist am I :-). Reality is what it is - you can't change it just by saying it is different than it is - it will still be what it is no matter what you decide to call it. (Ok, now I'm laughing at myself.)<br /><br />This gives me much to consider, explains why I get so frustrated/confused talking with certain people about certain things, and shows me something I really need to grasp/understand as I venture into speaking THE truth - pray that I can keep my head!!

It's introduced subtly, over time, and reinforced through emotional blackmail, e.g., "That idea/concept/word/etc. hurts my feelings so the reality it represents must be bad." Of course, at the political level it's all being politically correct. . .as if calling an abortion something like "the termination of a pregnancy" makes it any less evil.Fr.

We think if we say, "Let there be light," there will be light.<br /><br />I doubt most people who fall into this error are trained and conscious Gramscians, though. Some might be convinced (or at least start down the path) to knock it off if its incompatibility with any philosophy of science were pointed out to them.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09534284662785499386noreply@blogger.com
