Totalitarianism by Labeling Information

Posted on

There are two terms that have become commonplace, that to me are two of as dangerous as any that now infect our language. These are the terms misinformation and disinformation.They are pervasive. They flood our lives every day, and are taken for granted as meaningful, and part of our common concern. They are neither meaningful, nor should they be part of our common concern.

There’s the Chatbot app itself, the people, the companies, and as suddenly a billowing industry of experts, programs, seminars, and teachers and trainers. In classic fashion, consumers dive in blindly, anything and everything for convenience, shortcuts, and entertainment.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are facing backlash for promoting what has been described as an anti-Catholic drag group due to the fact of their mockery of Catholic traditions and beliefs. 

Brenda Lebsack, a teacher of 30 years and former school board member of Orange Unified School District, sees this as an affront not only to Catholics, but to all people of faith and conscience. This call for multi-religious solidarity is one of the emphases in her recently published The Orange County Register article.
