THE SKEPTIC ARENA


This web site is dedicated to the eradication of irrational thinking.
Rationalists are those, whose thinking is strictly guided by the laws of logic.
Rationalists only accept as true, that which has been proven to be true,
through the application of the scientific method.

In front of the whole world,
Brazil displays the courage that America lacked ...

Bolsonaro convicted and sentenced to 27 years in prison

And Brazil did this in spite of Trump's efforts (threats, sanctions, etc.) to free his fellow Oligarch.
Had America shown the courage to stand up and fight for its democracy and constitution,
we wouldn't now be living under the fascist dictatorship that we now find ourselves trapped in.

Senator Rand Paul agrees with Trump:

"Return to the original name of the Dept of Defense - the Dept of War"

And I agree with both of them on this one.
America has never been invaded
(attacked yes, but never invaded).
As the most powerful nation on Earth,
our constant state of warfare
is rarely defensive ... almost always aggressive.

My book review of George Orwell's "1984"

Scroll down to the grade "B" books

Unbelievably depressing, made even more so by the fact that,
it is no longer science fiction but ... prophecy.

Fake, PhonyAss conservative Christians
rally to the defense of a woman who called a child ...

a "nigger"

Money quote:

"she had raised over $800,000 on the Christian fundraising platform GiveSendGo—
including many donations that came in after the charges were announced "

(I wonder how much ... Jesus donated?)

Here is the greatest example of "psychological projection" that you will ever see ...

at least until the next time that Trump posts to "Truth" Social

Best quote:
"the networks functioned as an arm of the Democratic party
and should, according to many, have their licenses revoked by the FCC.
I would be totally in favor of that because they are so biased and untruthful,
an actual threat to our Democracy! "

That quote describes Fox "news" (pure propaganda) -
not the public networks.

The definition of psychological projection is:
The mental process in which an individual
attributes their own internal thoughts, beliefs,
emotions, experiences, and personality traits
to another person or group.

To make that definition understandable to everyone,
I will use an example that we all have experienced:
"No I'm not! ... You are!"

It is what the cult trains its Feebles to resort to
when they have no defense against the truth
but must throw something back;
and that is exactly what Trump did above.
Trump said that because he knows that his base
is packed full of people with the minds of small children.

Marjorie Taylor Greene inadvertantly "spills the beans" on her fellow Republicans

Money quote from MTG:

MTG's "colleagues" are Republicans ... not Democrats.
