The art and technique of Bullshit

Bullshit is a term that’s been around for centuries, and politicians love to use it. But what exactly is Bullshit? This blog post will explore the definition of Bullshit.

So you’re probably wondering: What does “bullshit” mean? Bullsh*t can refer to anything that’s nonsense or is untrue;. Mistakes are made by people who lie just because they think they know better than anyone else. 

In like manner, things are said as part of a political campaign without any actual evidence to back them up. 

Meantime, this word has nothing to do with lying at all – sometimes, we call something “bullshit” when we don’t really care about it one way or another. 

However, that is not the case for the event on January 6th; those insidious bumbling idiots knew they were spreading catastrophe bullshit which incited gullible buffoons to cripple an election.

In technical terms, this is known as “bullshit.”

communications that result from no concern for truth, evidence and/or established semantic, logical, systemic, or empirical knowledge.”

 Bullshit is everywhere, so we must always be vigilant to spot it, call it out, and avoid getting caught up in it ourselves. There is so much of it in today’s world.

Some of today’s Bullshit is just scandalous; for example, this headline from Washington Post:

“Nearly 4 in 10 who say the election was stolen from Trump say violence might be needed to save America. “
