- Comment on The Dumbest Decision in American History 1 week ago:
For America’s adversaries and the Dark Enlightenment who financed Trump, it’s the best decision. Elements within the Trump admin have the stated goals of dismantling democracy, destroying the economic world order, and collapsing civilization. These people supported Trump because of the absolutely shortsighted, selfish and stupid decisions he would make.

- Comment on The Hidden System Shaping Reality: Alexander Dugin, AI, and the Collapse of the Old World 1 week ago:
His ideas have influenced people in the Trump admin unfortunately, it’s likely where they got the notion of shifting the world order to a multi-polar one.
The video, since you didn’t watch it, explains how Dugin and the Dark Enlightenment align insofar as destroying liberal democracy and the West.

15 year old video, unlikely to come up in anyone’s algorithm.
- Comment on Why Your Vote Doesn't Count 1 week ago:
It basically discusses Duverger’s law and why first past the post voting is not a good system.
- Comment on Why Your Vote Doesn't Count 1 week ago:
You could have watched the video for context, gained a better understanding of the system and what needs to change. Ignorance is not a strength.

- Comment on After Today's meeting where Trump fell in love with Mamdani, this is MAGA tomorrow morning. 4 months ago:
The ruling class wear ideology like a suit. It’s political theatre. Power only ever serves itself, right/left have no meaning at the top.

- Comment on Sci-Fi, Satire, and the Post-WWII Mythos 5 months ago:
That was interesting, it’s too bad he didn’t mention how liberalism itself has been caricaturised. He said how liberalism believes all cultures and peoples are essentially interchangeable, that is demonstrably false. The core tenet of liberalism is the right to be an individual, which carries the obligation to respect that right in others. There are cultures that do not respect that right, and are incompatible with liberalism. The consequence of neoliberalism and the total atomization of the individual has annihilated the core of liberalism, through the destruction of the cultural norm of respecting others individuality in so far as they uphold that obligation themselves, transforming liberalism into the negation of itself, that the “fuck you got mine” and the cultures/ideologies that force themselves on others should be respected.
I think he misses a crucial point, that the “image” or “mythos” is the real, or hyperreal. In today’s society, those caricatures are more “real” than real. The medium is the message.
- Comment on Formula 1 capitalism 5 months ago:
The first five minutes was satire, the “experts” sit in front of bookshelves to display their “smartness”, talk at people their “truths” to be taken on faith, and go through the rituals of like/subscribe to the channel to their channel.
The pointlessness and excess of F1 racing is the point, it’s the culmination of all human culture, experience and meaning. We try to look for deeper meaning to life truth whatever, but there is none, the meaning is on the surface. That’s all there is, all that ever was and ever will be.
- Comment on [USA] Is "there are ICE agents roaming the streets" a good reason/excuse to avoid going outside? Or is it just a part of reality that you have to learn to accept? 5 months ago:
Those headlines aren’t reality, it’s hyperreality, outside is a whole different world from what the images you are being bombarded with. You only have one life to live, may as well experience it while you can.
