19. Was that an aknowledgement of the power of 'early scorning systems?'
...which is what I would call the taboo-effect of the words 'liberal' and 'conspiracy theory.'

Since George Lakoff's 'Framing' concept is about pre-emptive judging embedded in the words we use, then an early-scorning system to prevent people from finding the organized crime called conservative politics is invaluable and damn, it sure sets folks a-runnin' like a stampede of bees.

'Conspiracy theory' is what conservatives call it when liberals figure out their scam and tell on them.

That's why the words have been intentionally taboo voo-doo'ed.

If psychology was taught in high school, would fascism die out?
