pcr uses this term below often but its not a common word. it means, essentially, that you're happily unconcerned, and i'd say that he's correct. the way i usually define the same target he is, is to say, as long as americans have their sixer and tv they don't care about anything else. prove me wrong as the meme displays;
Are Americans Insouciant?
Paul Craig Roberts
On occasion a reader takes exception to my description of Americans as insouciant. It is not our fault, the reader says. We are misled by disformation fed to us by media and authorities we can no longer trust. In a way the reader has a point, but not really. Anyone who can recognize disinformation and the untrustwortiness of authorities should be more alarmed, not less. To know you are being lied to, yet remain unconcerned certainly indicates a casual lack of concern.
Without getting too deeply into the subject, consider the Gillette anti-male ad inspired by feminist propaganda. Would a profit-seeking company offend their customer base in this way unless the company was convinced that the insouciance of its customers would protect the company’s profits? Men organized no boycott against the company’s products. American men went on their way unconcerned with their public demonization.
Consider Coca-Cola’s recent letter to the law firms the company uses telling the firms that unless the firms achieve more diversity, comply with quarterly reporting of the makeup of the race, gender, and disability of its attorneys, and comply with Coca-Cola’s requirement that unless “at least 30 percent of each of billed associate and partner time will be from diverse attorneys, and of such amounts at least half will be from Black attorneys” the law firms will be docked 30 percent of their fees, and those who continue to come up short on diversity will no longer be considered for Coca-Cola work. https://www.seattletimes.com/business/coke-demands-diversity-among-law-firms-it-uses/ .............read more........
