  • LYRICS:

    He had a premonition. He said: that something's wrong! And by his own admission... He knew it all along

    LYRICS:

    The captain's crazy but he doesn't let them know it. He'll take us with Him if we don't do something soon to slow it!

    LYRICS:

    So we went to the captain And told him to turn around! But He laughs in our faces. Says we are mistaken!

  • Year 2019

     

    “Chaos and disruption, I later learned, are central tenets of Bannon's animating ideology. Before catalyzing America's dharmic rebalancing, his movement would first need to instill chaos through society so that a new order could emerge. He was an avid reader of a computer scientist and armchair philosopher who goes by the name Mencius Moldbug, a hero of the alt-right who writes long-winded essays attacking democracy and virtually everything about how modern societies are ordered. Moldbug’s views on truth influenced Bannon, and what Cambridge Analytica would become. Moldbug has written that “nonsense is a more effective organizing tool than the truth,” and Bannon embraced this. “Anyone can believe in the truth,” Moldbug writes, “to believe in nonsense is an unforgettable demonstration of loyalty. It serves as a political uniform. And if you have a uniform, you have an army.” ― Christopher Wylie, Mindf*ck: Cambridge Analytica and the Plot to Break America, page 85. year 2019

  • "For all his perspicacity, George Orwell would have been stymied by this situation; there is nothing “Orwellian” about it. The President does not have the press under his thumb. The New York Times and The Washington Post are not Pravda; the Associated Press is not Tass. And there is no Newspeak here. Lies have not been defined as truth nor truth as lies. All that has happened is that the public has adjusted to incoherence and been amused into indifference. Which is why Aldous Huxley would not in the least be surprised by the story. Indeed, he prophesied its coming. He believed that it is far more likely that the Western democracies will dance and dream themselves into oblivion than march into it, single file and manacled. Huxley grasped, as Orwell did not, that it is not necessary to conceal anything from a public insensible to contradiction and narcoticized by technological diversions. Although Huxley did not specify that television would be our main line to the drug, he would have no difficulty accepting Robert MacNeil’s observation that “Television is the soma of Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World.” Big Brother turns out to be Howdy Doody." ― Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business, year 1985, page 111

    • Howdy Doody is an American children's television program (with circus and Western frontier themes) that was created and produced by Victor F. Campbell and E. Roger Muir. It was broadcast on the NBC television network in the United States from December 27, 1947, until September 24, 1960." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howdy_Doody

  • What's preventing a General Strike in the United States?

    Even simpler than that. Why has there been NO Reddit end-user blackout about { Trump, MAGA, Fox News, Impeachment } since this all became a public crisis; June 16, 2015 - now almost 11 years ago.

    Reddit community (commenting users) hasn't done any kind of "Impeach Trump" blackout or uprising! Yet Reddit has gotten world press coverage over previous blackouts and protests. Why can't Bluesky, Reddit, Internet social media users make World Wide Web front page news calling for Trump's removal?

    ANSWER: there is EXTREME brain rot, cults of Trump, on every media system. People can not get enough of the mocking, insulting, name-calling, fiction storytelling that Trump provides. We The People of World Wide Web are the problem! Trump is a symptom. RFK Jr is a symptom of a brain rot crisis of the population since year 2013.

     

    See previous world wide coverage of Reddit protest blackouts:

    1. https://www.9news.com.au/technology/reddit-content-blackout-users-start-content-blackout-on-one-of-the-worlds-most-popular-websites/2816d537-a301-48ad-ae40-4bf2a2506529 - Australia, Down Under coverage of Reddit user protesting in June 2023.

    2. https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2012/1/18/websites-blackout-over-sopa-censorship Al Jazeera Middle East news coverage of Reddit protests in year 2012.

     

    But the cult of commenting on Reddit and Bluesky can't stand up to their own media addictions and see that Trump is a cult leader of Truth Social content / Elon Musk Twitter content addictions. Reddit community is not an opposition to brain rot and follows the anti-intellectual leadership of Trump.

    “Today, reports of the day’s events are conveyed to the viewing public by way of alternate universes, The Fox News cable channel conveys its version of reality, while at the other end of the ideological spectrum MSNBC presents its version. They and their many counterparts on radio are more the result of an economic dynamic than a political one. Dispatching journalists into the field to gather information costs money; hiring a glib bloviator is relatively cheap, and inviting opinionated guests to vent on the air is entirely cost-free. It wouldn’t work if it weren’t popular, and audiences, it turns out, are endlessly absorbed by hearing amplified echoes of their own biases. It’s divisive and damaging to the healthy functioning of our political system, but it’s also indisputably inexpensive and, therefore, good business.” ― Ted Koppel.

    “The long-term implications go deeper. If all information is seen as part of a war, out go any dreams of a global information space where ideas flow freely, bolstering deliberative democracy. Instead, the best future one can hope for is an ‘information peace’, in which each side respects the other’s ‘information sovereignty’: a favoured concept of both Beijing and Moscow, and essentially a cover for enforcing censorship.” ― Peter Pomerantsev, This Is Not Propaganda: Adventures in the War Against Reality, 2019, Page ???

    Which means, life itself doesn't get better than this. Super Bowl sports-game simulation media. A Reddit screen game. A video screen game of insulting back and forth with MAGA / Trump / Twitter screen game over and over on Apple iPhone / Apple iPad / Samsung Android devices. A simulation of a resistance that always avoids ENDING the simulation itself. Twitter-think, twitter screen shot, the best thing ever seen on a screen in all their lifetime. This isn't governing and government, this is machine love.

    Reddit is video game addicts who have sold out to Trump / ICE / Musk Twitter as a source of entertainment. People who prize on-screen entertainment and mocking above health care and mental health care. People on Reddit have sold-out Dr. Bandy X Lee's professional education and leadership in favor of sanewashing ICE / Laura Loomer and other MAGA actors as a source of "good as it ever can get" comedy material. Spare time and free time on Reddit is devoted to celebration of MAGA ignorance.

    • "these are the phenomenon that Baudrillard examines with the most care. Incredible information overloads with information moving at incredible speed and even to the youngest children. I have talked about how children used to learn morality from their parents and now I think that .. Super Mario Brothers. They spend much more time with Super Mario Brothers and are much more emotionally involved with Nintendo than they are with their aunts, their uncles, their mothers and their fathers. I asked one of my children “Why are you yelling at a machine?” when he began to bang his Nintendo, and he looked at me as though I were a being from another world. And because of that there is a postmodern trajectory. I am from another world. I am still, as it were, caught in the modern. He’s not. Why not be emotional with a machine? His peers are machine-like, we have already discussed that. I mean in fact what he sees on the Nintendo screen is his thrill of the day. That’s the most active he’s seen any simulated image that day. Now simulation in this society didn’t just come from nowhere. This society of simulations and of spectacles. Baudrillard actually builds his work on a foundation again that comes out of the Marxist tradition." - Texan Rick Roderick, Duke University https://rickroderick.org/308-baudrillard-fatal-strategies-1993/

    Every hour of every day, Reddit is sane-washing JD Vance, hundreds of millions of MAGA cult members, Putin, Trump, Elon Musk. Over and over, Reddit falls for the same antics politics and entirely misses the point of why over-dramatic antics are constantly appearing on the front page of /r/All by the White House.

    Reddit users have been manipulated and targeted by the Internet Research Agency.. https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-43301643 Useful Idiots is the term that Russia uses https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Useful_idiot (not my insult, I strive pretty hard to write things like "avoids nonfiction learning" and "unable to focus on using Google Search and finding Peter Pomerantsev's information" ... if you want a better-quality writing than my shit English. Calling people banal "idiot" is even something Marshall McLuhan addressed https://youtu.be/2JIj0Bqbdhk?t=156 in one of his filmed interviews. Mocking "idiot"... is a thought-terminating cliché.).

    .

    1. Putin, MAGA, White House, Musk does some bold antics action

    2. Reddit audience posts image, quote, or mocking of the antics

    3. Reddit community sane-washes the situation by prizing it as entertainment and amusement

    4. Reddit members crack-jokes to sanewash the USA society in total. That this is just "Internet culture" of how people have fun. Jokes, falsehoods, fictions, make-up scenarios, make-up quotes, mirroring Trump's writing style, talking about skin color (brown, black, orange). Make fan-fiction about the situation.

    5. ALWAYS avoided: Peter Pomerantsev's writing, videos, etc. Questioning the pattern witnessed over and over. Pondering and questioning: if maybe the crowds that gather every single day to mock and insult Trump aren't a form of intentional population control. Imprisoned fandom...compulsive brainwashing into always joking and always mocking and always hating MAGA and Trump.

    6. ALWAYS avoiding: reflecting on what Donald Trump actually is good at. Instead of listing all of Trump's failures: bankruptcy list, divorce and failed marriages, TACO trade deals, failed Trump university / steak seller / on and on. FACE THE ONE THING Trump is known for grifting, tricking, actor, acting, acting like an actor. An actor who is faking being an actor, a grift of acting itself. Entertainer, Reality TV. Like Trump is playing in the film "Jackass" as a character for an audience. Trump's ONE GOOD SKILL is getting on camera every 90 minutes of every day and rage-bating Reddit!

    .

    Repeating number 5: ... pondering... Are we living inside a Reddit screen game of grinding https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grinding_(video_games) away... sane-washing jokes and behaving not as political actors, but an audience to a Reality TV theater and circus performances? Does Trump behave like a fiction character, President Tony Clifton of SNL NYC? Are we gullible and falling for the acting of a Tony Clifton actor? Are we "eating the onion" just like Fox News audience does in red states / rural population and not recognizing that Fox News is a fiction entertainment show like SNL Weekend Update?

    • “When a population becomes distracted by trivia, when cultural life is redefined as a perpetual round of entertainments, when serious public conversation becomes a form of baby-talk, when, in short, a people become an audience, and their public business a vaudeville act, then a nation finds itself at risk; culture-death is a clear possibility.” ― Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business.

    THE SIMULATION: "You can smell the fear from here" (this Reddit comment being linked)

    THE REALITY: "Those media addicts will do anything to put on a show, and American MAGA eats it up. 40 cars is over the top, antics to get on the front page of Reddit, and look, it is on the top front page of /r/All"

    THE REALITY: The only "fear" they have is that their acts and antics and investments in 40 motorcade cars doesn't have a film audience to the blockbuster show. That it doesn't dominate the headlines like a new Taylor Swift song release. That the tickets and #1 rating on Reddit, that your MAGA absurd comedy and surreal humor show is a flop.

    IF YOU ARE MAKING ENTERTAINMENT POLITICS: Borat film or Jackass film, taking ICE and massive motorcades to Italy is right up your scripted ally of antics entertainment.

    .

    There is no self-awareness in the Reddit audience. The Reddit media cult is reading The Onion and falling hook, line and sinker that it is "fear" and not in fact political theater, entertainment politics, Surkovian.

  • “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back. So the old bamboozles tend to persist as the new ones rise.” ― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark, 1995, page 241

    Celebration of Ignorance

    “Science is more than a body of knowledge; it is a way of thinking. I have a (year 1995) foreboding of an America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time — when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what’s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness. The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30-second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance. As I write, the number-one videocassette rental in America is the movie Dumb and Dumber. “Beavis and Butthead” remain popular (and influential) with young TV viewers. The plain lesson is that study and learning — not just of science, but of anything — are avoidable, even undesirable.” ― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark, 1995, page 59

    Nation of Suckers

    "Finding the occasional straw of truth awash in a great ocean of confusion and bamboozle requires vigilance, dedication and courage. But if we don’t practice these tough habits of thought, we cannot hope to solve the truly serious problems that face us and we risk becoming a nation of suckers" ― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark, 1995, page 38
