Here’s the thing.

It takes more than putting on your star spangled underpants, beating your flabby chest and bragging about how you live in the worlds greatest country.

You actually have to get off your lazy, entitled ass and work to make it happen.

He clearly still feels like if he just says a thing -- and if his dutiful press secretary repeats it as fact -- it'll be believed by everyone, not just his (literally cultish) followers.

I understand that accepting something is real that you had always thought was fake is a mental break of sorts -- literally, your perception of reality is altered -- but there's a LOT of people who need that to happen in themselves, including the self-perceived great leader himself.

in reply to Ham on Wry

honestly I would love to see him try and have as much backbone as people I know. Leaving his navel without the billions of dollars of security blankie his father grifted him and try living for thirty plus years in a country where english is NOT the main language ( even a former warsaw pact state). YET STILL be a quiet emissary of what the country stood for with a once progressive agenda, and in those 30+ years but once having a physical altercation (it was a fascist) because of origin.

β€œGamez Lira was detained on August 13 when seven federal agents, some masked, surrounded his vehicle in his driveway in Horizon City, Texas, with two of his young children in the car. Despite having a valid grant of #DACA, he was held at the Otero County Processing Center in Chaparral, New Mexico, separated from his wife and four children, including a three-month-old infant with serious medical conditions.”


A federal judge has ordered the immediate release of Paulo Cesar Gamez Lira, a 27-year-old #DACA recipient and father of four U.S. citizen children who has been unlawfully detained by ICE for 42 days: aclu-nm.org/en/press-releases/…

That's why I don't bother engaging in political discussions online, especially about Malaysian politics. It's a waste of time and I know that my attention and tribal human wiring is being manipulated.

Real work happens outside social media.

Online debates are overrated.

"A core election strategy involved the use of β€œcybertroopers”, which are anonymous politically linked actors often paid to enter online debates and to influence public perception. Malaysian voters have become incredibly cynical and jaded, often decrying the presence of cybertroopers as β€œclouding” public debate."

the one I'd seen is here: cnn.com/2025/09/12/us/tyler-ro…

And yes, they consider the possibility of a false flag. I was thinking about mentioning the Tyler Robinson analogy, but that's rather thoroughly muddled at this point as it seems his lover was transsexual--which doesn't necessarily make him a leftist, but in the conservative (overwhelmingly Mormon) parts of Utah, it's pretty hard to imagine hooking up with a transsexual unless you are.

in reply to David Benfell, Ph.D. (he/him/his)

This is where the possible Nick Fuentes tie makes everything a complete mess. His gig is incel culture and proudly so because their level of misogyny is so deep. Mr. Fuentes has a rather infamous video of him saying that heterosexual sex is gay(!) For this group, Kirk and Trump are liberal and they call the two of them fascist from a completely alien worldview terms like that are rooted in for the rest of society.

It’s Orwellian shit. I think much of it deliberately crafted to be so.

To think, I expressly chose not to look into the farther out reaches of paleoconservatism when researching my dissertation.

On the other hand, it was quite long enough as it was--over 400 pages (it should've been around 100) and a magnum opus (which it should absolutely not be).

in reply to David Benfell, Ph.D. (he/him/his)

It’s hard to know if this phenomena was around when you wrote your thesis.

You might’ve just been spared because the shit hadn’t been invented yet

My current personal infosec level is at a point where I have now created a β€œdecoy” Twitter account with my real name and real photos of my real face that I will only use to post inane Live Laugh Love garbage, but which I can provide if required to submit a social media account for review.
