Burned out autistic. The USA as a society has adopted hate and mob mentality values, technology lust and dehumanization. It seems like media ecology teaching 1980's/1990's need more attention in 2024 and 2025. "Amusing Ourselves to Death" WakeIndra.com

It’s not just his followers. It’s everyone. All of us. We are outraged by this then go right back to spending all day buried in our phones. Everyone is complicit including the media because they want you watching and staring at your phones also.

“Hitlerism was a mass flight to dogma, to the barbaric dogma that had not been expelled with the Romans, the dogma of the tribe, the dogma that gave every man importance only in so far as the tribe was important and he was a member of the tribe.”

"reading the room" of media addict society.

1. "MAGA" wants to take shotguns to immigrants and liberals in the street

2. "liberals" wants to take shotguns to I.C.E. and MAGA in the street

Faith in hate, faith in gun worship, faith in murder, faith in killing. Anti-goodness.

People in USA, instead of lecturing / preaching / teaching the #ToxicClergy that their bi-polar God vs. Satan teaching is inverted, people want more than anything for people to be murdered and killed for their terrible parenting and horrific clergy lessons.

God in this system is a kind of fact somewhere, an actual personality to whom prayers can be addressed with expectation of a result. He is apart from and different from the world: in no sense identical with it, but related, as cause to effect. I call this kind of religious thinking “mythic dissociation,” The sense of an experience of the sacred is dissociated from life, from nature, from the world, and transferred or projected somewhere else — an imagined somewhere else — while man, mere man, is accursed.

The sacred is now not secular, of this world of mere dead dust, but canonical, supernaturally revealed and authoritatively preserved; that is to say: God, from “out there,” has condescended graciously to accord special revelations: (1) to the Hebrews, historically, on Sinai, via Moses; (2) to mankind, historically, via Jesus; but then also, apparently, (3) to mankind, once again, historically, in a cave near Mecca, via Mohammad. All, it will be noted, Semites! No other revelations of this desert god are admitted to exist, and Extra ecclesiam nulla salus (“outside the church there is no salvation”).

Living in USA in year 2025, you can witness the people who their entire life have wished for #Nazi Germany to come back so they could murder and kill real human beings (Kill Nazis) in a real war. Their fantasy that the world creates evil to fight. People who prize hate.

If you know where to look?! All you have to do is open your fucking eyes and ears, and it’s blatantly in plain sight! He doesn’t even try to hide his corruption anymore. He throws it in our faces, as if he’s taunting us he could literally get away with murder. I despise every single human being who voted for this.

Preparing ? What world are you living in. It's done. it's over.

He controls the White House and the Supreme Court. He's ignoring the rule of law. He has shut down the senate, and he spends government money like its monopoly money. He ignores the Law and has a licence to do what he wants whilst he's president from the Supreme Court, so if he declares himself president indefinitely, then he's free from prosecution.

He's got his own masked secret police and he's kidnapping people off the street. He's weaponising the justice system against his enemies. And rebuilding the base of power in his own tacky plastic gold image.

Let's not forget he's blocked the press from the Pentagon, AND anyone from the military has to go through him before reporting to the senate.

Forgot to add, redistributing about to ruled, OK

What is there left for him to do ?

In USA, you see it in films and TV shows and sports fanatics. The audience lines up. People who want "payback", "revenge", "settle a score". People who compete for hate, the competitive hate values. "Winning hate"

Donald J. Trump is the product of an entire population that prizes hate.

The deep meaning that everything around Donald Trump is humor, jokes, amusement. President Tony Clifton. How NYU Neil Postman's 1985 book "Amusing Ourselves To Death" explains the population behavior, the Reddit audience, the society joke-washing of Trump. The prizing of amusement over goodness...

Humanity is faced with a crisis:

1. Hate people.

2. Face that there are evolutionary flaws in the human brain, human mind, and educate and teach about hate itself.

Here in USA 2025, hate has never been more popular. Sicko nation. #SurkovStage14
