Off the Air

Question propaganda.
Question your own perceptions.

"The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum - even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate." -Noam Chomsky, The Common Good

I am skeptical of all arguments that broadbrush, and arguments that label and attack the label.

We can better understand ourselves and others by considering the bigger picture. This can be done mindfully through rational and respectful dialogue.
