I also don't agree. Language like this is a filter. Those that can't get passed it are skimmed off the top.
You could argue that the skim is important, and depending on the population size in question it most certainly can be, but the time to conversion ratio is the greatest it's ever been.
Using the language filter finds like minded individuals faster and brings them to your side quicker, albeit at the expense of numbers.
That is a very interesting analogy for cognitive dissonance if we point out *where* the "filter" truly resides. Is the language GLR uses filtered? Id say not. The language that is filtered comes from those intentionally trying to remove or hide certain words or ideas by mislabeling, by misusing words or by making up new terms altogether. Or by directly hiding information, like how the euphanisms used by the MSM filter out the race of the perpetrators.
So the "skim" you speak off this a great analogy for cognitive dissonance. Many cannot get passed harsh language because of a filter within themselves: their worldview they have so much faith in that they will disregard certain ideas or information that challenges that worldview.
Children today are shown horrific images of malnourished corpses while told insane stories of the holocaust. The children usually too young to understand death, much less evil (I was it in 5th grade). Trauma is obviously caused by this and so then the same unsettling feeling will resurface whenever the new fear-based worldview is challenged. This is intentional, it is called "monarch programming".
I dont think GLR was using a filter to skim new members. Rather, he was speaking unfiltered truth which was then altered by the interviewer (using the filter of his comminist worldview). I think his intentions with speaking this way was not to gather like minded indivuals faster; I think we was speaking this way to encourage the commom man to challenge the perverted, post-war worldview theyve been taught. The only way to break monarch programming is to experience cognative dissonance (and challenge it) enough to surpass it.

The word "nigger" seems to be a threshold for a lot of people. But even then, just mild racism itself is a turnoff for most people. They of course don't understand why, or explore the feeling any more than being butthurt by it, and they just let that monarch programming you speak of take over.

What I meant is that the language itself is a filter, not that GLR was filtering what he was saying. He's speaking truth from the heart, and that cuts right through peoples sensibilities.
But I like your interpretation of it anyway: you put "the filter" on the other side if the spectrum, saying it's the filter preventing THEM from crossing over the threshold and hearing his words.
