Memes are just a modern form of analogy. Analogy is ageless. A good analogy extends well beyond the surface. They have a vast potential for social signalling.Originally posted by frank ryan View PostComment

Is wokeness religion? What is religion or a religious person? What is the etymology of the word religion? Zealotry, religions potential excesses. What is ritual and how it's tied to religion. Apes versus human, what is copying versus mimicry versus ritual versus imitation. How do such things relate to culture. Contending with death as a human. Death rituals in culture. How much of our life/death is scripted cultural rituals? Why do they need to exist? Wisdom institutions. How enlightenment/science frame may be insufficient. The unquestionable religious stories. Should religions question. Lots of other stuff.Originally posted by frank ryan View PostComment

The irony is that the conspiracy fantasies that frank endlessly promoted (Russiagate & its impeachment sequel) failed so spectacularly that they became gifts to President Trump & the GOP.Originally posted by HuskyFreeNorthwest View Post
But as you note, those same conspiracy theories are being re-weaponized to use against Dem candidates that the DNC does not care for, e.g. Bernard and Tulsi.You're actually pretty funny when you aren't being a complete a-hole....so basically like 5% of the time. --Art Vandelay

The irony is that it was no fantasy, and the genuine conspiracy theory of Barr and the justice department and McConnell covering the shit up is obvious.Originally posted by Walter Sobchak View Post
Now Trump is seeking to let all his cronies off the hook without a peep of protest.
Also, Tulsi is pretty friendly with Moscow, a favorite of RT and lines up with Russian foreign interests. BTW, she loves drone strikes. If Bernie I hope to hell he doesn’t choose her.Comment
