How to play Pull-a-Smollett: the game of social engineering

How to play Pull-a-Smollett: the game of social engineering



At the risk of losing the punch line in the translation, let me start with a Russian joke:

"We're sorry, but you're no longer welcome in our house."
"Why is that?"
"The last time you visited, one of our spoons went missing."
"What nonsense, why would I steal your silverware?"
"We're not saying you did, we found it a day later, but the resentment still remains."

While the stain on this poor fellow's reputation was accidental, we are now finding that such stains can be engineered, especially if the media is on your side. Consider the Trump-Russia collusion scenario. None of the claims against Trump have proven to be true, but "the resentment remains."

All of the examples of hate and violence by Trump supporters have also proven to be hoaxes, and yet the response usually is, "even if this one's a hoax, you can't deny that Trump has created an atmosphere of resentment, and so many hate crimes in the news can't all be hoaxes."

This is a projection. Simple reverse engineering suggests that by trying to plant resentment against Trump with endless unproven tales, the Democrats have legitimized hoaxes and thus created an atmosphere in which the jussie smolletts of this world are getting inspired to conjure their own little tales of deceit in order to stain and damage "Trump's America." They've also legitimized sociopathy, empowering scores of manipulative "victims" to satisfy their pathological craving for sympathy.

What these hoax enthusiasts tend to forget is that such high-end political technologies require skill and calculation, while their own low-end intellect will likely cause them to get caught. Their opponents will gloat and say, "If Trump's America is so violent and hateful, why do the Democrats need hoaxes in order to prove it?"

To the Democrat leaders these amateurs are what suicide bombers are to the leaders of ISIS: disposable human material and acceptable losses in a war for power. Smollett's life may now be in pieces, but he has left a lasting resentful stain in the public square, having earned gratitude from 72 progressive self-identified virgins.

Smollett's name will now be forever tied to all the past, present, and future political hoaxes, immortalized in the Party-approved Pull-a-Smollett game, in which young and old progressives compete in who can better stain reputations, divide people, and generate resentment at the cost of their own lives and careers.

Have you pulled a Smollett lately? If so, tell us your story. It may be added as another game card to our stack.

In the meantime, here's a list of previous winners and their inspirational stories, courtesy of The Daily Caller.

You go ahead and pull him, I ain’t touching him.

Just keep in mind he’s pretty tough.
He totally beat off those two attackers after all.

There are many more fake hate crimes in the Trump era. Here’s the best list I know of, looks like there are over 150 since election day 2016.

All this notoriety will probably enhance his career. His crisis management team will turn him into a righteous victim in no time. The Left knows how to rehab their heros.

The left needs a real victim! All those hoaxes are ruining the narrative.
Remember James Byrd for GWB? A really sad situation used for political propaganda.

Single-handedly, to boot.

Honesty is one of the 6 virtues that are derivatives of the virtue of rationality. Honesty is the refusal to fake reality. Dishonesty and pretense is metaphysically impotent. They can neither erase an existent nor create reality. But leftards can use dishonesty and pretense to try to gain the unearned, the undeserved, and something for nothing.

On one hand, he's sterile, after all that bleach.

On the other, you probably don't want to take a chance and ruin your clothes.

We need links and references to the list of hoaxes. This is good stuff I’d like to take to social media for the masses.

It’s a powerful point.

Exactly. Look at what happened to medallion and sport suit wearing Al Sharpton after Tawana Brawley.
