Mention anything about how Trumpistan is turning into #Apartheid #Israel on blue #MAGA platform #BlueSky and the American #liberals get ao angry and block you.
They still can't admit that the fascist #Netanyahu is the role model of the orange #Hitler and both #republicans and #democrats worship him (or terrified of him).
…climate change deniers…may be seen as denying the very real possibility of the planet’s destruction… Denial, whether at the individual or group level, is the most primitive defense the mind employs to protect itself from psychic pain.

I've attached some notes as a comment.
In a PhD exam about atmospheric chemistry three weeks ago ,I asked the candidate what would happen if the US stopped collecting the data of the kind she had used in her thesis. A good discussion followed. Now here it is.
As expected from the Project 2025, the Trump administration prepares to completely gut NOAA and eliminate its climate monitoring and research. #climatescience #denial #vandalism

@dazo Couldn't agree more Compensation and projection seem to be hallmark traits for #MAGATs They are a natural and expected logical development of a #USCulture of #Fantasy #Escapism and #Denial It's #USPolitics #USReligion it's a sick culture Why else would most in the US chose to travel to stand in line and pay for overpriced food and tickets to see a #FantasyMouse and #FantasyPrincess when they could travel to see #Art #History #Music #Theatre: the #Foundation of the World and #Reality

„After 15 Palestinian medics and civil defence workers were killed by Israeli forces late last month, Israel began a familiar pattern of denial.“
All people who answered "No" here would have lost at the first question in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, AFTER taking the 50:50 lifeline.

@gwynnion The US has ALWAYS been a culture of #ReligiousFanstasy and #Denial. Why else, when the entire world full of History, Art, Music and Culture, is yours for the taking would most choose to spend the day, paying over priced fees, waiting, standing in line to watch a fantasy cartoon mouse or princess?

The US has a culture of #Escapism and #Denial. Like all addicts in a dysfunctional relationship there comes a #Reckoning #EscapistFantasy is in our #Religion and in our #Tech, and we will pay for it.
@joseperezmba The problem is that when people and organizations in relationships continue #EscapistFantasy and live in #Denial, like US has been doing for decades, never implementing incremental changes, there will come a time when the only solution is #Rupture. #WeAreAtThatPoint #ThereWillBeDamage #ThisIsAnAbusiveRelationship
Trump appointed #AlinaHabba #AttorneyGeneral for #NewJersey Like watching the #Wreckage in a #BadMarriage and #AbusiveRelationship: #Trump and the #GOP is the #AbusiveHusband and #SenSchumer and the #TheDemocrats is the #AbusedWife. #RedStates side with #Daddy #BlueStates side with #Mommy #ElonMusk is a #WeirdUncle and everyone is in #Denial. In this #Nihilism there WILL be #LotsOfDamage. The only positive can be that the #RedStates recieve more damage than the #BlueStates which subsidize them.
Residential school denialism: what is it and how to recognize it
Residential school denialism does not deny the existence of the school system, but rather downplays, excuses or misrepresents facts surrounding the harms caused by it, experts say.

KFF: Claims Denials and Appeals in #ACA Marketplace Plans in 2023
...
Insurers of qualified health plans (QHPs) sold on #HealthCare.gov denied 19% of in-network #claims in 2023 and 37% of out-of-network claims for a combined average of 20% of all claims.
The in-network #denial rate ranged from 1% to 54%. There was significant variation by insurer and by state.
I had a hard time with this one. There wasn’t anything remotely denyish in my liked or random playlists which are my first go tos for these prompt challenges. I finally found this, just now, through the songlink search:

The prompt is #Denial
10cc, “I’m Not in Love” from The Original Soundtrack, 1975
This is THE classic denial song; the speaker’s denials of feeling for the presumptive object of his affection growing progressively weaker, hinting at the real truth.
The melody is simple, the sonics gentle, but as with the lyrics, if you listen closely, much more is going on. This track is a sonic splendor, using multiple layers of vocals to create an otherworldly effect, and weaving elements together into and out of the whispered break, without any of the digital effects and tools available today.
Drummer #KevinGodley and guitarist #LolCreme would break away from #10cc a couple years later and record as a duo, but their most noted breakthroughs were in video: Their video for “Cry” simulated face morphing (again before computer technology could do this for us) and they’d go on to create the celebrated video for #HerbieHancock's "Rockit.”
