Spooky Non Recognition of D-Day Yesterday, June 6th, 2017
-
@jaybate-1.0 Fox News mentioned Dday several times during the day and night. Showed pictures of that day on the beaches.
I played Call of Duty, World at War (old game that never gets old, you get to shoot all the guns, but I dont like the de-tuned Springfield rifle. A .3006 is a .3006 regardless of what gun shot it!). I ordered some dvds about Panthers and Tigers and Shermans.
I absolutely bludgeoned myself by reading of the meatgrinder of the Eastern Front.
War and remembrance. Those who forget, simply must brace themselves for mankind’s limitations, as we’ll keep repeating our usual blunders.

Thx to Fox!!!
Maybe I just didn’t surf enough.
And hope you had some fun playing your computer game. My recollection is the ought six Springfield was the manual bolt action standard of US Forces in WWI, and was used some in WWII, but the semi auto M1 Garand was the standard issue ASAP. I recall also that the Springfield was considered a highly accurate rifle at considerable distances and used by snipers in WWII. My father said he qualified as a marksman during his Marine Corps training before WWII actually started with a Springfield and commented it shot arrow straight at 600 yards without need for a scope and with standard issue loads. He was a good shot though. I haven’t played that game you refer to, so I don’t know if it is designed to highly reward that sort of accuracy, or not. I also recall him saying that as an officer he always carried a standard issue M1 Carbine, which he found light and useful in close quarters. But he was emphatic that in a combat situation he and any Marine he knew would seek out the first BAR they could find, not an M1 Rifle, or Carbine. No one wanted to carry a BAR, he said, because they were heavy and their carriers were targeted by Japanese soldiers in ambushes and sniper fire. But he said everyone looked for a BAR once the shooting started.

@jaybate-1.0 maybe WGSN decided D Day is out of fashion… http://99percentinvisible.org/episode/the-trend-forecast/

Thx for the link.

@mayjay and @justanothfan
Why do the number of US military survivors remaining cause this apparently significant, asymmetric cuing by MSM regarding some major, even decisive, WWII events versus others?
I don’t follow this logic.
I wasn’t alive for anything that happened in WWII. Neither were either of you, apparently. Likely few in the official state, or in the reputed Deep State, or the MSM that unrefuted leaks apparently indicate a reputed Deep State significantly influences, were adults alive during WWII.
So: why would apparent asymmetry in MSM reinforcement of mass memory of WWII events be triggered by the number of survivors of the events? I would have guessed it would have triggered symmetrical failure to cue mass memory.
What am I missing?
-
@jaybate-1.0 Tens of thousands of minor intervening events and a few hundred major events, and a few catastrophic events, such as 9/11, plus all the current events, plus the dilution of media channels by exponential factors, are the reason historical events tend to be accorded less attention.
-
The question was why an asymmetric cuing effect?
So: how would these ensuing events you suggest, like 9/11, etc., in some conjunction with the declining number of US military survivors, trigger apparent asymmetric cuing by MSM of WWII memory of a current population largely not alive during WWII?
I still don’t follow this logic.
-
Despite a couple years of exposure, I have never understood your meaning of asymmetric, so I wasn’t speaking to that. Sorry!
-
You appear to indicate an abiding difficulty in understanding my use of “asymmetric” over a period of years, but you do not indicate an abiding difficulty with the meaning of “asymmetric” over the same period of time.
I’m not sure what to make of that.
-
@mayjay2 was my asymmetric alter-ego created when our profiles got zapped.
-
Thanks for the ID clarification. No disrespect intended. I didn’t have that problem of needing to create a second ID for some reason. Maybe you can ask @approxinfinity to clear that other alias to minimize such future mistaken salutations.
Regardless, I still don’t understand your indicated multi year struggle with my use of “asymmetric” vs. your apparent grasp of the meaning of “asymmetric.”
-
@jaybate-1.0 My understanding may be asymmetrical and therefore my opinion uninformed… Actually, I missed the first few times you used the term in discussing recruiting, etc, so I am not sure how it extends to things like media coverage. So, I gracefully (or not) bow out lest I get in over my head. Like now!
-
Regardless, let us both rejoice on this day of Comey’s Senate testimony that we are both symmetrically grateful we are NOT agents of a reputed Deep State and so NOT tasked with the reputed Deep State’s restoration efforts in USA and UK. Having a Deep State and a Shallow (?) state is too much complexity for me, to say nothing of it seeming possibly unconstitutional. I liked the old days when we just had a State. God only knows what must really be going on in Washington right now!
Rock Chalk!

@jaybate-1-0 gets internet brownie points every time he uses highfalutin words such as asymmetric or a variation thereof and hence his constant use of that and a couple of other words. I get the same points whenever I use thereof and hence…

What this web site needs is more gaslighting and spear phishing!!!
HOWLING!!!
I have been trying to be more self doubting and to put myself out there for more discrediting to be a mensch.
In this hollowed out economy, I want to help folks that might need to moonlight.

@JayHawkFanToo We used to work really hard to get “thus” into legal analyses.

Because there ain’t no cure for the Summertime muse.

Say, who is this “Jaybate” alias? Is he trying to steal the thunder from @jaybate 1.0? Or is it some accidental by-product of updating the site?

Deleting @jaybate-2-0 did not behave as expected. Instead of purging the account it seems to have left a global guest account that is resolving as one of the options when Auto completing @jayb … Minor annoyance. Shrug
