"When people use the phrase "dog whistle" they claim to know your thoughts better than you"

Haha, yeah, I mean Kitten quiet openly claims to know my thoughts better than I do. I come across it quite often from strangers on the internet actually😅

A lot of people, especially people who have been indoctrinated by this particular cult, have trouble differentiating their feelings from reality. And object strongly to any evidence that reveals their feelings are wrong. That's why it's so hard to talk to them. One of my favourite quotes by Thomas Sowell covers this nicely:

"The problem isn’t that Johnny can’t read. The problem isn’t even that Johnny can’t think. The problem is that Johnny doesn’t know what thinking is; he confuses it with feeling."

Nothing is more indicative of just what a pickle we're in than "truth" preceded by a possessive adjective.

""Your truth is not my truth."

We're SO doomed.

Imputing motive is definitely an issue - not just on the internet - between humans everywhere. Love that Sowell quote. It points to the fact that our education system is such a mess.
