They thought he was doing whatever social media programmed them to think. And he passed a tax cut that was 90% in the favor of the rich, but had a pittance for the middle class, so they felt that, while being uninformed, and their dopamine centers got a little warm and now they associate that with trump

In a post to his social media site, Trump claimed, “I know nothing about Project 2025,”

Claim no knowledge until the election so you capture the vote of those idiots who think “oh he’ll just be a good old fashioned hard lined president and drain the swamp”

Once you’re elected, use your now legal ability to assassinate anyone in your way and rebuild the government as you see fit into a new theological autocracy/corporatocracy while those same people, influenced by russian and billionaire social propaganda just shrug casually because they have a room temperature IQ

It’s a publicly traded company. Investors hate risk, especially short term risk, no matter how unlikely. The board answers to investors. It’s a byproduct of “growth every quarter, above all else,” AKA late stage hypercapitalism

New war meta is crazy this season

In response, South Korea blared anti-Pyongyang broadcasts through its border loudspeakers on June 9 for the first time in six years

This literally sounds like the international version of two petty neighbors fighting while trying to not break their HOA contracts

Yeah some people would bubble this lawsuit as like “we’re seeking millions in psychological damages” but 80k is what I would expect for home repair and a little “you almost killed our kid”

Or in this case, their son, who was home at the time, and just happened to be in a different room

Right, they’re pushing the boundaries as much as they can with plausible deniability, because they want the west to make the first move so they can point at it and go, “we were never hostile, they started it”

Absolutely agree. Happy mutual cake day!

Euclid’s C-Finder , you say?

What they really want is their base to think “the big bad fda is trying to control them.”

This way, when their party dismantles the fda (in the interest of no longer regulating corporations on animal treatment or food or drug quality) their supporters cheer, as the food they are sold increases in price for continuous drop in quality and safety.

Followed by the unregulated sale of placebo drugs making unrequited claims with with no studies on health or side effects required, the banning of generics, so on and so forth

They want it to happen through corporate control, because it’s not control if it’s business, it’s just good business

I absolutely agree. And I absolutely hate the “protect and serve” shit on militarized police forces where their success metric is number of tickets, arrests, and convictions. The system is working as intended, the police exist to protect and serve capital interests.

If anything they’ll be celebrated by pro gun groups:

The National Rifle Association on Thursday urged the U.S. State Department to “use every means necessary to return U.S. citizens home to America.”

Yeah I’m sure nobody would notice you angle grinding the boot off your truck and definitely not post it in this same community for the same amount of laughs

It is, and it’s like $2000 extra

Yeah the system of “this post probably has disinformation” did the opposite, and enticed idiots to re-spread those posts, thinking that their elusive “deep state” was working against them. It was working against them, but it was foreign entities and national corporations that want them to keep following their path of idiocy, and they happily bit the worm and swam with the hook

Ironically not too far from Aldous Huxley’s theory about human perception:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_at_Large

Essentially reality is or contains all the properties of hallucination but our brain filters it, and psychedelic drugs in some way dilute or remove that filter.

So the human brain is sort of by default filtering the “hallucination” version of thought until we open that up, and ANNs begin with that at baseline, and then require rigor added to them to reduce the “hallucination”

Yeah honestly surprised it wasn’t a dodge ram 2500 to keep up with their record of most DUIs
