Lad's favorite word

  • In Lad’s arsenal of name-calling, one of his favorite’s is “shill.”
    He’s misused the word 30 times in the past year.
    https://www.cathinfo.com/search2/

    Sadly however, he fails to understand the meaning of the word and is therefore not only abusing his fellow Catholics but is also abusing the English language.

    Here is the actual definition of “shill.”

    a. one who acts as a decoy (as for a pitchman or gambler)
    b  : one who makes a sales pitch or serves as a promoter
    https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/shill

    Neither of these apply to “people who disagree with Lad.”

  • Cera, re-read the contexts of the accusation.

    I have agreed and disagreed with Lad on a variety of issues, but he certainly calls out the shills who promote Trump, the Novus Ordo, BigPharma, et al.

    "One who makes a sales pitch or serves as a promoter" certainly applies.

    Isn't it time for you to feed your cats?

  • Well, I think that shill is a relatively mild term, but I use it to distinguish between someone who has a rational argument from people who have some ulterior motive (whether emotion, psychological, or otherwise) that causes them to run afoul of basic facts and truth.

    So, for instance, I disagree with those who believe it's licit to vote for Trump as a "lesser evil", but I don't consider most of them to be shills, as it's apparent that many of them believe this to be true and thus acting upon it.

    Where you cross over into shill territory becomes manifest in your going into denial, often accusing people of lying, for citing negative things about Trump that are certainly true, that are well docuмented, that we have video of him saying, and that could be discovered with 30 seconds of Google searching.  You immediately deny anything that might reflect negatively on Trump.

    It's a combination of begging the question, and allowing your "thinking" to be led by what you WANT to be true or do NOT WANT to be true, with various aspects of cognitive dissonance (breaking from reality) and confirmation bias ... leading to an overall intellectual dishonesty.

    In summary, what distinguishes someone with whom I disagree about something from a shill is that the former at least appears to be using reason applied to an honest acknowledgement of reality and facts (but simply making a logical error) while the latter, the shill, is someone who has some vested emotional / psychological interest in something being true, to the point of denying reality, applying confirmation bias, manifesting cognitive dissonance that splits from truth and reality, to the point of attacking those who don't buy into their fantasy world "mind castle" as being dishonest and mendacious.

  • I'll admit fault in using terms like idiot and moron in frustration ... but shill is actually an intellectual appraisal and judgment I make about whether someone is being objective vs. kicking against the goad of reality, truth, and facts.
