There can’t be a foreign occupation. Our nuclear warheads guarantee that the only way the USA falls is from civil unrest. No one is going to rush a nation capable of Mutually-Assured Destruction.

After his Trade War on the first term, Trump gave major subsidies and bailouts which really benefited large farmers. Trump promised similar subsidies for this term, and Trump actually delivered on that in his spending bill; but farmers were expecting more than what was promised, and they haven’t gotten that.
Thank you for sharing this with me. I hadn’t heard of this theory or the documentary. As I read, this is everything I’ve been seeing; just people being ushered from work to home, shutting themselves off from the world to do meaningless busywork.

put on App Store aaaaand it’s gone. And Google’s blocking it on Android.
Ooh definitely. Everything from childhood is so structured: Structured youth sports; Structured socialization through social media; Structured dating with algorithmic match-ups; Even applying for jobs now is largely done through apps. Every system feels so obfuscated and de-personalized. As Gen Z growing up in the 21st century, the internet was the only place I could actually meet people, but for the last decade those spaces have been restricted by major corporations and inflicted with this “Protect the Kids” surveillance mania.
It feels like independence and social freedom have just been forgotten. I’m genuinely worried that young USAmericans do not understand the value of autonomy and anonymity, because they’ve grown up in a world with everything structured and surveilled – and have grown used to funneled from station-to-station, even outside of school and work. It’s hard to form a revolution movement when the masses have had a mixture of learned helplessness and “hustle culture” ingrained in them.
There’s a dating app, and a social media app, but no “Revolution” app. ChatGPT isn’t designed to suggest violence to you, but it can post a hotline copline that can tell you to go to a hospital. There are social media posts for BetterHelp and “Hims”/“Hers” (mentioned in article), while the posts calling for bricks in windows get suppressed, shadow-banned, or outright blasted. The more I think about this, the more I realize how vital that internet control was.
I keep coming back to the thought that anti-depressants and the mass-adaptation of therapy – both of which are designed to pacify clients – are the reason that the Western world has gotten so bad with such little push-back.
In the past, Major Revolutions broke out over shortages of food and infringements of freedom (like the French and American Revolutions). And today, just the president of South Korea declaring martial law got the streets flooded on no notice. Hong Kong had massive resistance movements over the CCP censoring their media; Yet the USA has been declining for decades and people mostly let it happen. Yes there were protests – Occupy Wall Street, the Veteran anti-war movements, and yesterday’s No Kings protests – but we are facing state-sanctioned mass-terrorism, and now have Gestapo “secret agents” storming our streets; and people largely let it happen.
Looking at the proponents of targeted violence the USA has seen: Kirk’s killer, Tim Robinson, was a Mormon from Utah ; they’ve got religion and don’t believe in therapy. Trump’s attempted assassins were a young Republican man who realized Trump was a part of the international pedo ring; and two different elderly guys. Luigi Mangione, the alleged shooter of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, supposedly had many grievances with the healthcare system. These are all profiles that make me believe they’d largely reject therapy.
Meanwhile in spaces branded “progressive”, following the script on mental health seems to be the norm. One of the ways spaces are deemed progressive is by “acknowledging mental health”, which mainly means encouraging therapy and copy-pasting a bunch of disclaimers. Of course, the bigger picture of their movements are to improve the system, which would improve our mental health; but it feels like the “ask for help” virtue-signaling around mental health is far more prevalent than argument that “Yeah, you should feel that way. We shouldn’t put up with this shit any longer.”
I’m not making any broad call-to-action here. I’m just trying to dissect the idea that has baffled me for years: How the system could be pushed this far. How fascist politicians and greedy corporations alike could make the system this bad, and people continue to tolerate it. How feminists and the queer community could be this visible, and yet as fascists declare war on them I’ve hardly heard any calls for violence. Yet alt-right teenagers go out and attempt to blow up pretty cheerleaders because they can’t get laid; burn down houses of politicians they don’t like; randomly assault trans women on the street. What empowers them, and why are we so passive?
he also posted, twice, J.D. Vance’s AI clip of Trump putting on a crown.
I hope what everyone remembers of the USA as a whole is that we’re the nation that let a bunch of rich pedophiles and Silicon Valley tech nerds take over a country, culminating with hundreds of billions of dollars spend to make a tool that slops out propaganda and algorithms that cultivate delusion. Raegan, Bill Clinton, Obama, Bush, Biden – all deserve to be remembered in that light. Yes, even Obama and Biden, who made deals with Peter Theil and allowed bill corporations and tech-freaks like Mark Zuckerberg to grow unimpeded while selling all of our data and inciting genocide abroad.
And for the actual artists - let’s make some political propaganda. Memes are great, now I want to think bigger. The Epstein/Trump statue was beautiful. Make Music, more art; perhaps some video games.
I’m sorry. The guards just let it happen because they were threatened with angle grinders? not even ranged weapons? Do they not have TASERs?
and “get rick quick” schemes with extremely bad trading advice, which require high memberships.
I completely agree. We must point this out, incessantly, forever. The fact that it looks so stupid only makes our argument stronger. I want the USA to always be remembered as the nation that rounds up civilians and sends them to random tyrannical governments while chain-posting immature AI slop.
Yesterday (18th of October) Trump reposted this on Truth Social, twice, following a AI-generated video of him flying over a No Kings Rally and air-dropping feces on the protestors.
Eugenics has been spreading mainstream since the New Zealand shooter platformed “Great Replacement Theory” (white-erasure conspiracy theory)
Perhaps that correlation with aggression is real, but medically-speaking giving older men T supplements is actually important. Low testosterone can cause and exasperate several conditions, including making bones less sturdy. As for the young gym bros and Men With Microphones… they’re more of the issue.
Bingo; But they don’t want that. The really ironic part is the USA population could still thrive as a nation of immigrants, even if birth decline was happening; But of course they don’t want that, because the “Great Replacement Theory” platformed by the New Zealand shooter. They could at least make life less miserable for existing parents with social services; But they don’t want that, because that’s “Communism” (and their donors make a killing from killing us).
Living in the United States of America is like living as a dependent of a self-destructive parent who refuses to compromise, listen to any logic, or even do the bare minimum to sustain themself. Our infrastructure is literally crumbling around us and Dad’s back to rambling about how “fluoride cuts off your connection to God”. At least he’s off the stims, I think.
I recall a few Republican state legislators in at least one state proposing that veterans be given permission to marry girls under the age of marriage; I guess as a treat. (and sex between them would be “okay” because they’re married. These same legislators want to ban divorce.)
The cliché quote is “it takes a village to raise a child” and I agree. In Western nuclear family culture, that “village” has largely been forgotten.
Most people who are “childfree”, or even anti-natalist, don’t hate children. In a more cooperative society, many would definitely slot into that mentor/cool adult role; myself included.
The way that all this “AI” processing has been trained, it almost always fails for anyone who doesn’t fit the white middle-class aesthetic. Voice-to-text generative AI processing will screw up for people with accents, including non-native speakers; also someone who slurs their words, or talks in African-American Vernacular English. Also, it requires someone to know how to speak and listen in a language. Clicking on icons and inputting commands is the same regardless of what language you speak. This just reeks of out-of touch nepo-baby executives.
Bingo. If you haven’t heard of her, I recommend you check out https://www.youtube.com/@FarmToTaber - I found her videos extremely informative.
