government of fragile masculinities
So wait… It’s not Tiny Dick Syndrome?
At least he doesn’t look paranoid…
Enforcing polygraph testing will invariably make people less trusting of you. There needs to specific reasons that target specific people.
As if anyone trusted Patel anyway.
Is polygraph test reliable ? Doesn’t it fall under pseudoscience ?
It is not reliable at all, and yes, it is widely considered to be psuedoscience. Yes, this is a batshit insane scenario
Yes, morons still believe in it, yes, he is a moron.
That and just looking for an excuse.
You can even train to beat them, so it’s definitely not a reliable method.
And, I would assume, if anyone had done that training it would be FBI agents.
Lol right? This seems more like a “can you beat a polygraph test” test, than a loyalty test
It’s more of an anxiety-detector. It has no basis in fact.
It measures things accurately but this has absolutely nothing to do with identifying if someone is telling the truth or not.
MAGA: The real snowflakes
The “original” snowflakes. “I can’t drink from the same water fountain as a colored person!” Type of people.
What a dork-ass loser.
Real leaders don’t need to be paranoid about what their underlings think about them. Fascism is more fragile than it appears.
“[Their] need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.”
Fear and greed. Who is that quote by? It’s great.
Believe it or not, it’s from the Star Wars tv series “Andor” of all places. That show was really too good for its source material.
Real leaders would take the time to understand why someone doesn’t like them, do a little self reflection to see if it’s either a valid point or just a perception issue, and then work to fix the issue if there is one. If it’s just a person who just doesn’t like them but is good at their job, just ignore it. If they are truly not a good fit or just a bad actor who just thrives in negativity, then you either find a better fit for them or then you fire them.
I’m very much a pleaser type personality but if someone doesn’t like me for whatever reason, I don’t really sweat it if it doesn’t affect me personally. Most people like me but not everyone and that’s ok. This constant need to be surrounded by yes men and sycophants is just disturbing.
True. And real leaders don’t want to lead.
literally a 30 rock episode
I’ve never seen such a clear-cut case of fucking crazy eyes in a “man:”
That’s drug induced and you cannot convince me it isn’t.
What a bitch.
Good thing polygraphs are junk science that doesn’t work literally at all.
Good thing the system already selects for people that can pass polygraphs without much issue.
It is also junk technology.
Wouldn’t FBI agents be able to pass a “lie detector” test? Has anyone told Kash they aren’t actual lie detectors?
Polygraphs have always been close to useless even for normal people. Anyone being interrogated isnyoing to be nervous and likely set them off.
However, you have to be slighlty, remotely intelligent to understand that nuance. And that is not an affliction any Trump cabinet appointee has.
Polygraphs provide authoritarians the excuse to get rid of people.
The same way that scientology uses auditing. The point is to instil fear and doubt into whomever you’re measuring so that you can manipulate them.
So, they are extremely useful.
Damn dude that’s some serious trump energy
The fragilest of beings
Republicans/Conservatives in a nutshell.
Isn’t the FBI trained to beat polygraphs though?
Only in as much as they know it’s bunk that only works if the participant believes it does.
