It's like a Dario Fo play, made life.

@christineburns But law hasn't really caught up with the 21st-century phenomenon of the christian taliban campaigns of mirror propaganda. They regard freedom of conscience as a shield only for themselves and a sword only for themselves. There is no live-and-let-live in the ##BurkeFamily's [β¦]
Mirror propaganda, also known as "accusation in a mirror" or "mirror politics," is a propaganda technique where a person or group falsely accuses their opponents of the very intentions, motives, or actions that they are planning or carrying out themselves. This tactic is often used to create confusion, undermine credibility, and justify malicious actions, such as hate speech and violence.
Mechanism Mirror propaganda leverages a form of psychological projection to achieve several goals simultaneously: β’ Creates confusion: By accusing an opponent of something they have not done, the propagandist can distract the public and force their opponent into a defensive position. β’ Normalizes the perpetrator's actions: When the propagandist systematically employs this tactic, serious allegations can become desensitized to the public, making it harder to distinguish truth from falsehood. β’ Justifies future actions: By framing their opponent as a threat, the propagandist can justify their own aggressive behavior as a form of "collective self-defense".
Psychological effect The power of mirror propaganda lies in its ability to manipulate emotions like moral outrage and fear. When a person hears a shocking accusation, their immediate emotional response can sometimes override their critical thinking. This makes them vulnerable to manipulation, especially when the tactic is used repetitively.
Today I learned there's a word for this particular type of gaslighting that CK apologists/eulogists have been using.

I LOATHE the MAGA use of #MirrorPropaganda! As Trump deflects by accusing Obama, MAGA accuses Dems of using Epstein to deflect from Obamaβs bullshit βtreasonβ
Itβs a technique used by Goebbels to make it seem that the truth is impossible to discern.
#DiscourseInversion
I'm struggling to find a good word for this but it an inversion of the discourse of equality and human rights for the purpose of the destruction of equality and human rights.
It seems close to #MirrorPropaganda.
