Manufacturing Consent on Same Sex Marriage

[R.D.]

How did the Left gain the upper hand with same sex marriage? A technique identified by Cass Sunstein and Timur Kuran explains the simple, effective process: Availability Cascades.

An AVAILABILITY CASCADE is a self-reinforcing process of collective belief formation by which an expressed perception triggers a chain reaction that give the perception increasing plausibility through its rising availability in public discourse. The driving mechanism involves a combination of informational and reputational motives: Individuals endorse the perception partly by learning from the apparent beliefs of others and partly by distorting their public responses in the interest of maintaining social acceptance. Availability entrepreneurs -- activists who manipulate the content of public discourse -- strive to trigger availability cascades likely to advance their agendas ("Availability Cascades and Risk Regulation," Timur Kuran and Cass Sunstein, Stanford Law Review, 1999).

Yes, and Fox News has the remedy, since no other media outlet at this point in like you just outlined, the "fake-it-till-you-make-it" church of LGBT strategy will touch the cure for fear of lawsuits etc.

I actually know one of the of the people behind founding GLAAD, which sits at or very near the head of the LGBT strategy snake. Have had years of interaction with him online and I can tell you that his fellows' roots are not only in the psychological mechanics of manipulating public sentiment...but that he and his fellows are intimately schooled in what they called "herding people around" like livestock with smoke and mirrors. They have drilled the art of Kabuki theater until it is reflexive in themselves. The only thing is that the discipline that taught them this trick, requires they first do a thorough personal inventory and be pure of spirit. Suffice to say they skipped those two essential parts and with their gay agenda, went straight for the "herding people around" part. And what better way than owning the media? So that's promptly what they set around to doing, and have done.

This all got really started around the early 1980s, give or take. Part of their schooling teaches them to stick with their task for "as long as it takes"...20, 30, 40 years..doggedly. In the true art they are to completely meditate on the task, have done self-reflection and to be 150% sure of the task as a worthy one before they embark. Like I said, they skipped the self-reflection part and in their states of denial lunged forward with blinders on. And now they insist that everyone else wear blinders...or else!

And this has brought us to precisely where we are today. It's why people who vote are being kept from hearing or knowing the whole package of what's in the gay agenda. They're told they're "silly" if they ask. Or "homophobic" if they ask. Or "bigots" if they ask. These people are bullies, blackmailers, liars and the worst type of self-indulgent fools this earth has produced. Their mantra is "resistance is futile" and they'll even tell you so. It's all part of the cacluated breaking down of resistance....to make the obstacle feel like it's already lost. Cool trick eh?

Below them in their ever-growing ranks [born that way? Really?] are legions of weak minds, chasing one fleshy stimulation after another without a single thought to where it's all leading them. They take advantage of the addled minds. It's a matter of ease for their masters to organize them and pit them in any given direction with the lure of these sordid carrots and the self-righteous indignance common with those who are anemic on self-reflection and the hard work of restraint and confrontation of their past wounds. Meanwhile others who can still see where this is all heading are silenced, one by one, by blackmail, coercion, bribery, whatever it takes. And in their art, nothing is spared in the quest for the goal.

I mean, you know, while we are digging deep into the mechanics of what's going on. I just happen to have stumbled on these folks when I was blogging about something else I was interested in at the time. Small world I guess. Got to know them pretty well. They were revolting just in general as people. In fact, they were so revolting and so flawed at the spiritual level that I recommend that with anything they stand for, people would gamble well in resisting it just for the sake of resisting.

Here is a perfect example of the strategy. This variation is the "why are you a hater!?" smokescreen. It serves to shame the inquisitor into submission and silence. It's a very effective technique, usually. Unless it is exposed as a technique...lol. Other variations of beating people into silence are the "why are you a bigot", "why are you a homophobe" and my all-time favorite that usually produces an instant recoil, complete silence and total abandonment of the inquisition: "why are you a closet homosexual?"...lol THAT ONE gets the silence with more results than all the others combined. Who wants to be called a closet homosexual for just questioning the church of LGBT?? Nobody. And so the ranks of the stunned and silent resisters grows. That's why you see the mushroom effect of when one stands up and speaks out anyway, like Chic Fil A. Those numbers were impressive. Or The Duck Dynasty guy. Also impressive. It's like a dam waiting for a crack in itself or a herd of wildebeasts waiting for that first brave one to jump into the crocodile infested waters. All the opposing numbers need is a nudge.

This thesis "The issue of same sex marriage boils down to adults selfishly seeking to define a right to have children over and above the right of children to intact biological families" is unsustainable.

Children have a right to a family, whether biological or not.

The error is to suggest, without any evidence, that children have a right to "biological" families.

Children have a right and have the need to be loved by 'parents', whether biological or not.

When a couple hires another to help produce a child that child is denied biological parents, and or a mother/father.

That's their old paper. What actually happened is described in their new paper, EQUALITY CASCADE.

"The issue of same sex marriage boils down to adults selfishly seeking to define a right to have children over and above the right of children to intact biological families."

Yeah, let us all know how you plan to make that happen first? Love to see it. Even two million married gays wouldn't make a dent in that number.

The poster Seawytch, a self avowed lesbian living near San Francisco CA, ground zero for the LGBT cult movement, had an arrangement like that. She said, if I remember correctly, that she had five pregnancies. I think the last was twins.. So that would be six children? Anyway, it was one or two of the babies she arranged to give to a gay male couple. One of which was one of the twin boys. The others, she and her lesbian friend are raising, presumably. Not sure if any of this was on the radar of child protective services. And it dabbles into a grey area of selling children. She did say she exchanged semen service for children which is a sale of sorts.

But then again, we are talking about San Francisco and California. California, remember, has as a matter of law a holiday mandatory in public schools set aside for the kiddies to celebrate the messiah of the LGBT movement. Harvey Milk, serial sodomizer of teen boys on drugs. So, nothing surprises me there anymore. But it is ground zero so really in all practical terms, what's going on there in the cult is going to make its way into your state in the next 10 years or so.

Mark my words. Unless of course you get up off your dead ass, deflect the blows of "bigot" "hater" "homophobe" and "closet homo" and just expose expose expose what they're up to in the hailstorm of their furious protests and diversions. It's easy once you get started. You just know what's coming ahead of time and ignore it. Keep on truckin'.

In other words, thinking which once was completely implausible outside only small fringe groups, rapidly gains social acceptance -- dominance even -- because individuals fear that if they don't publicly support this novel idea, they will appear unsophisticated, behind the times (as in "knuckle-dragging Neanderthal") and will become a social outcast in one's place of work, school, neighborhood, church, or even in one's own family. Their critical thinking is pushed aside by their inward mechanism which screams "self-preservation!"

Substitute "the abolition of slavery" or "interracial marriage" where I bolded "same sex marriage", and this works just as well!

See, this one is the "you've already lost so give up" angle I spoke about in my first post here. Thank you for that fine example Plasmaball. However, the Harvey Milk v Utah case has yet to be heard. ie: it's still in the future. So proclaiming "you've already lost" before the game has begun is a little premature and frankly dishonest of you, isn't it?

Not even close to being true. But you knew that already

Actually it is true. It works perfectly. Hatred holds sway for extraordinary lengths of time, but always loses out in the end.

Except that race is nothing at all like the behaviors of LGBT and their dogma/cult. In fact, many black people are outraged at the comparison between their noble race/what they had to endure because of the melanin in their skin, and compulsive butt sex.

I would be too. What a complete insult. And here we have a variation of "you're a hater" manipulation. It's the "you're a racist if you don't like gays". That's like saying "you don't like apples if you are against oranges". The false comparison, again, is meant to shut down the person speaking for fear of being thought of as a racist... The goal: shut down the person exposing the inner workings of the cult of LGBT at all costs..

...Next?

Simple. Democrats are moving forward along with the rest of the world; Republicans are stuck in the 50s.

gay people have families.

that is why the sentiments are changing in this country .

why do you hate gay people?

Gay people COME from families, frequently dysfunctional families . As far as Gay People having Families - yes they have Fauxfamilies - Fake families. It's a facade.

Faggots for the most part are not suitable parents, they have a ridiculously high instance of pedophiliac tendencies and are largely mentally unstable. In addition extremely high rates of queer relationships are transient, who gets junior Daddy or Dad ?. There are of course exceptions to all norms , so I don't advocate excluding them from the adoption process but only after extremely tedious screening.

Not real sure that's actually on topic

The author of the article is homosexual. It's not about if they are good or not, it about the path utilized to get what they (the left for he most part) want
