His ego and idiocy are definitely big enough to do this on purpose and also not in purpose - but it will happen.

“There’s no ethnic cleansing. It’s not a genocide. This is a just war.”

It’s even worse when you use the original order of words.

There is nothing “just” about any war, especially not this one.

Thank you

Nothing means anything anymore, you can just write and say whatever you want and half of the population will believe what you say, the other half will cry out about fake news.

When will the aliens finally attack earth to bring us destruction and unity?

Someone had to. And I thank you for it, although it always makes me cry for Tasha.

“The outlet (Newsmax) also warned that a future administration could target conservative media in a similar fashion.”

Yeah hardly doubt that. The one weakness of all Democrats is abiding laws ^^ the US wouldn’t be where they are now, if Democrats actually took a stand for democracy.

Yeah I think there is a lot of harm coming from that none-altruistic sentiment of having to “deserve” anything good in this world.

Just like the “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” or how the saying goes and of course the capitalist propaganda myth of the “dishwasher to millionaire” thing.

It all links the basic need of money in our society (=to be able to exist) to personal effort, and as we judge ourselves very harshly by that standard, we are even worse to others. Especially because we never see their full picture, only pieces of the puzzle they call “life”, and we fill it up with the worst projections because that’s just what we presume: the other people made this or that because they are dumb or evil - the first thought I observe in conservative or extreme right minds in my vicinity. And maybe more people in any political spectrum, don’t know.

And maybe that is telling a lot about myself as well, maybe I project all that onto the society I observe.

But either way, without altruism we will never reach that Star Trek life without money and with so much unity ^^

True, never looked into the protective mechanisms in our constitution. But I bet there is a way to change these mechanisms, once you are the reigning political power.

Will have to research on that.

Thought about that regarding the current events in Germany. If people democratically vote for fascism, that’s still a democratic vote. Only the outcome might be less democratic (or not at all) but at least once people choose this path willingly, following democratic rules.

At the end it’s perfectly legal to do this. The question is more if it’s good or bad. It maybe even stupid. But here we are.
