Trump's New Post About Taylor Swift Is So Immature, We Needed Child Psychologists To Explain His Thinking | “The tone and content of the post resemble childlike behavior — impulsive, unprovoked and lacking basic decorum; yet, even that comparison may be unfair to children."

WRONG: "We Needed Child Psychologists To Explain"

YOU NEED: Peter Pomerantsev AND Doctor Bandy X. Lee

...

“That unique Moscow mix of tackiness and menace. One time I see a poster advertising a new property development that captures the tone nicely. Got up in the style of Nazi propaganda, it shows two Germanic-looking youths against a glorious alpine mountain over the slogan "Life is Getting Better". It would be wrong to say the ad is humorous, but it's not quite serious either. It's sort of both. It's saying this is the society we live in (a dictatorship), but we're just playing at it (we can make jokes about it), but playing in a serious way (we're making money playing it and won't let anyone subvert its rules).” ― Peter Pomerantsev, Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible: The Surreal Heart of the New Russia, 2014

EMPHASIS: Published in 2014, known for over a decade, at the public library. Highlighted themes: tackiness and menace just as Donald Trump is being menacing and professionally tacky with Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen this week. It isn't childish, it is an extremely experienced media superstar on the World Stage of all human history, using the White House as a media platform for Russia. I don't even believe the White House is self-aware they lost their hearts and minds to Putin, none of them has shown the level of self-awareness to demonstrate they are free free thinkers and not reactionary thinkers! "useful idiots" to Kremlin or deliberate treason / traitors to USA, it doesn't matter! We must stop acting like Elon Musk is a senile 78 year old man doing Nazi Gestures on the World Stage, and that Donald Trump's attack of Taylor Swift isn't grabbing them by the pussy information warfare / Surkovian Russia!

The ‘Shared Psychosis’ of Donald Trump and His Loyalists

Forensic psychiatrist Bandy X. Lee explains the outgoing president’s pathological appeal and how to wean people from it

The harshest reality is that Americans / We The People, win debate the same way Donald Trump does. Shit-talk and insults and one-upmanship. It's a miserable world to have pandemic debate won by abandonment of complex understating, bullying works. It works on Reddit, anonymous no-identity is self-dehumanization to "defend" against attacks of life. Reddit is real life. Lemmy is real life. To act as if they exist outside Earth and the universe of influence is to smack right into what people claim is their most important needs in life: love, compassion, family... religion.

Donald Trump isn't just a cult god / Jesus himself. He is an entire religion of sexual conquest, boss man, assets. Long after he is dead, it will live on like a religion. Warlords in other parts of the world.

Do we really think we escaped these religion warlord problems?

People haven't been able to solve Ukraine hot war since February 2014. The "Operation Matthew 4:19" since March 2013 (in prep for the Ukraine war, part of an even longer ambition).

How much freedom is left with over-consumption and 8 billion people? We gave up on housing in the developed world and left generations of 21 year old adults unable to live the 1965 USA and Canada lifestyle of getting your own house... that stopped working in year 2001 for many, and it never returned in 25 years so far.

North America, Canada and USA, was a virgin land taken from native peoples who had low enough population that they didn't need skyscraper buildings and imported goods from China... and lived a lifestyle of more integration with nature. Europe was already beyond that development / over-consumption - just ship building was consuming trees as a massive rate.

How much freedom can we have when all our freedom is hate, war, dehumanizing people we disagree with.

Freedom to over-consume and not share and just declare those who can't manage in the competition to be losers / failures / homeless and deserve it.

We have turned Bluesky and Reddit into a screen game of hate upon the out-group, not much different than the Levant religion book games / religion venues of hate-upon the out-groups.

Ukraine February 2014 was runs into the February 28, 1954 equations of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Ten years after World War Two, it was already too far in our retention of hate. Hate doesn't work with world travel and world communications. Hate has to be addressed directly. The world has to convince the world, the world has to convince Russia, that war against Ukraine is a mistake. Develop goodness and stop mocking "whirled peas" and actually face that we all live in a world that needs peace.

So sick, so sickened of Americans "eating the Kremlin onion", so sick of this never-ending bullshit. The "winning of debate" by antics and aggression. So fucking sickening.

Do you ever get that feeling that the USA isn't just getting dumber it's actually working on it like it's a group project and everyone's bringing Cheetos but no one brought a damn pen. We're not just slipping into stupidity like it's a hot tub we're cannonballing into it. We're throwing parades for it. We're giving it TV deals endorsement contracts and a podcast where it talks about its healing journey.

And it's not your imagination our society really is getting dumber and not the good kind of dumb or the fun kind of dumb like laughing at videos of cats slapboxing the bad kind the kind where we seem to be daring each other to trip over the same rock 5,000 times and then sue the rock for emotional damages and just for the record I think we're all guilty of this to some degree and if you even hint that maybe thinking is good you're immediately labeled an elitist like you just walked into a bowling alley wearing a monocle quoting Kirkagard all right.

So Isaac Asimov the famous author and biochemist who by the way was smart enough to predict this dumpster fire decades ago nailed it when he said the following: anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your...

America used to at least pretend to value intelligence scientists were admired writers were respected because people actually read books and the guy who invented sliced bread was a national hero.

And now if you use words with more than three syllables somebody accuses you of word salad. You know we used to aspire upward and now we aspire sideways toward whoever talks the loudest and fastest while knowing the least and don't kid yourself this isn't some natural entropy of society it's a conscious choice we like stupid it's just easier it doesn't make you feel bad about scrolling through 19 hours of YouTube videos titled "Watch this dog say bro."

And look I get it i waste time on some of this stuff too especially when it comes to cats and dogs but I digress and meanwhile critical thinking you know the thing that separates us from barn animals uh no offense to barn animals he gets treated like a personal attack and God forbid you ask a question that doesn't fit neatly on a bumper sticker and next thing you know you're called a hater or worse negative vibes because toxic positivity is also part of this problem
