You know what keeps me up at night: How many queer kids are internalizing this propagandist fuck's psychological warfare without even knowing they're under attack?
These are linguistic techniques that have been used for centuries to manipulate, gaslight, and oppress. It’s dark NLP (neurolinguistic programming), where language is used to break down healthy causal modeling skills and create new synaptic links where the actual cause and effect relationship does not exist, but becomes a belief in the listener’s mind in spite of the faulty causal link.
You know, Wendy, I go the money way. What do airlines hate to do most? They hate to lose money and pay out insurance costs. In what universe would they hire unqualified pilots to make it necessary to pay out unnecessary money? Not in the one in which WE live. Have you ever seen a drunk black pilot thrown off a plane? Me neither, but I have read about a number of white pilots removed from a plane. Try to get these people to follow the financial consequences of hiring unqualified people. They probably can't, which leads them open to the charge of being stone cold racists. But you live in Georgia, and I live in Berkeley. Come back where we want you...
Personally, Charlie Kirk has inspired me to defend and protect our most vulnerable citizens even more than I already do! When I get pushed, I push back harder. People like CK MUST be pushed back against. It's the only thing that these megalomaniacs understand. They want conflict and we have to keep our cool and just state the facts. We need someone with a public platform, who is brave enough to speak out, to systematically expose CK's lies, to refute those lies with facts, data and statistics. Until we push back at every opportunity, we will continue to see the rise of this Nazi mentality, which demonizes "others" and eventually be silenced. We can not let this happen. We have to fight back.
If you rewrite the Procedural Antidote without Kirk in it (or some other form independent of the rest of the article) I'll repost it everywhere.
Not meaning to take away from the rest of the article. It is excellent; loved it. I hate being manipulated and am cautious always. I try to warn people but I don't have words like you do. Thank you!
Wendy, this brilliant article itself is proof of everything you are advocating and defending. You are the liberation. One of your very best that I’ve read. Enjoy your day off, it’s well-deserved.
Yep, not to mention that he was a homophobe, transphobe, xenaphobe, and just not a good man in general. I'm the same age as him and I grew up to be a better man than he was.
Thank you, Wendy; this has been an education.

Evelyn, you are 100000000% correct.
Thats why it was so easy to write about it.

Trying to get there.

And I mean rewrite like a plaque I can hang on the wall!
Another spot on analysis.
I do my best, always.

Yeah too many people are defending Kirk and his hatespeech. Its still free speech, but people need to understand the nature of Kirk's work.
He was a bigot and a demagogue. Thanks for putting science behind his corrupt “technique”.
Sexist 2 and he didn't want people to get educated
Yep, not to mention that he was a homophobe, transphobe, xenaphobe, and just not a good man in general. I'm the same age as him and I grew up to be a better man than he was.
Agreed.
Your article is brilliant!
Thank you.
Thank you.
