By Marcel Danesi, 07/30/2023
"My research analyzes real speeches made by politicians past and present, including those of #Trump, #Orbán and #Putin, using cognitive linguistics — a branch of linguistics that examines the relationship between language and the mind. What I have found is that throughout history, speeches by #dictators and #autocrats have one thing in common: they use #dehumanizing metaphors to instill and propagate hatred of others.
"It is well-documented that for example words like 'reptiles' and 'parasites' were used by the Nazi regime to compare outsiders and minorities to animals. Strongmen throughout history have referred to targeted social groups as 'rats' or 'pests' or 'a plague.'"

"The older #dictators fell because they could never supply their subjects with enough #bread, enough #circuses, enough #miracles and #mysteries."

The marvellous DE that is #KDEPlasma, with its myriad wondrous tools functions & features, is agenda-neutral. The various 1s & 0s ofc have no idea if they're being used for good or ill. In other words, it's not just nice decent peeps who might use it... sadly, also the scum of the earth also can, eg, #Nazis, #Fascists, #RWNJs, #ChristoFascists, #Racists, #Misogynists, #Transphobes, #Homophobes, #FossilFools, #Dictators, et al. Tis sad, but unfortunately true. 😭

A protester burned a picture of Putin at the Russian Embassy in Helsinki.
This comes after the cops decided to take legal/investigative measures against the protesters for "defamation" on behalf of Erdoğan. His picture was burned at the Turkish embassy in Helsinki a few days ago.
The protester commented
"I don't think burning the picture of a political leader should be viewed as a crime, but it should fall under freedom of speech"
As for me, I just love seeing pictures of dictators being burned. 🔥 ❤️

It only shows Musk his real intentions and it shows clearly that Musk is (becoming) a very dangerous man for a normal and free #Democracy I’m really wondering why the #Government is not taking care about Musk. Musk want to create chaos because #dictators love chaos to become more powerful. The time to trust #Musk is over and people should reconsider to do #business with #DangerousAutocratMusk
