    “He lived in Tallahassee throughout his whole life, and was also a member of the sheriff’s office’s Youth Advisory Council. He espoused white supremacist and far-right views causing him to be kicked out of a political group at TSC. He also advocated for President Donald Trump’s agenda.”

    American children raised on Rupert Murdoch televangelism values: Hate people who read books, hate thinking, and worship guns and attacking people you intellectually disagree with. Use social machines, power, and gun machines to silence those who promote books, learning, study, education, thinking.

    Thursday, April 17, late morning

    My broader points circle around topics like:

    1. Why are we attracted to the people in the White House in the first place? My answer is media systems. Fox News, Twitter shit-talk shit-hate messages are what empower Elon Musk and Donald Trump, and we accept this at every level of society. Dehumanization via electric media systems, machines.

    2. We have never confronted classical religions as a problem of “alternate reality”, living in non-reality inside people’s head and that Fox News does basically the same thing as The Bible, etc.

    3. Russia weaponized all this and uploaded it to Reddit, Twitter, news comment sections in March 2013 and the entire population is in 5,000 alternate reality screen games and nobody is calling out the problem. We lack self-awareness and “Americans Hate Americans” is the total population, all inclusive now.

    A society can’t just let the 50% least-educated rural people fall into Kremlin information warfare manipulation and act like we shouldn’t rescue these people. We need to be teaching, educating them on media ecology, fixing the Fox News and Twitter behavior problems in every age group, not just children in school. We need to educate people how Cambridge Analytica and Russia’s 5,000 alternate reality screen games work on the mind.

    Put even more bluntly. As American stands in 2024 and 2025, we have social machines and large language models that are basically dehumanization and hate breeder reactors. Our problem is far larger than Elon Musk, Donald Trump and JD Vance. The entire population has lost hearts and minds to Russian alternate-reality.

      The hate people have over the slight differences: oh, you speak French, I speak English, hate person. Oh, you work night, I work day, hate person. Oh, your skin color isn’t same as mine, hate person. Oh, you interpret the Bible Poetry Book of Jesus story different than Quran Poetry book of Jesus story, hate, hate hate hate hate hate egoism hate hate hate.

    It is attraction to this, front page of USA social media systems, that is why Elon Musk and Donald Trump are so charming to people. People are so attracted to entertainment of mocking public “Olympic Level” events, “White House POTUS level” activity, that is the power of the Kremlin Surkov systems in the White House.

    This post explains the USA of year 2024 and year 2025: https://old.reddit.com/r/Unexpected/comments/1k0i23s/what_a_dive/

    This is why people only mock Donald Trump (skin color topic) and JD Vance (couch), and make no serious effort to cult deprogram the Fox News / Rupert Murdoch audience and teach people that Fox News is fiction, it isn’t non-fiction news and information. It’s alternate reality, not real reality.

    Again, this April 16 front page posting: April 16, 2025

        Americans sold their soul to Twitter messages and memes. The soul and compassion come from learning. What USA learned was Twitter King Donald Trump with mass dehumanization Hate Messages is what they value most, Elon Musk X fuck-people content. Rupert Murdoch message cults.

      Did I repeat myself enough? Did I do enough Repeating Repeater in that media comment?

      How does one get audiences to break-free of Elon Musk and Donald Trump attraction and charm?

       

      “How teach again, however, what has been taught correctly and incorrectly learned a thousand thousand times, throughout the millenniums of mankind’s prudent folly? That is the hero’s ultimate difficult task. How render back into light-world language the speech-defying pronouncements of the dark? How represent on a two-dimensional surface a three-dimensional form, or in a three-dimensional image a multi-dimensional meaning? How revelations that shatter into meaninglessness every attempt to define the pairs of oppo-sites? How communicate to people who insist on the exclusive evidence of their senses the message of the all-generating void? Many failures attest to the difficulties of this life-affirmative threshold.” - 1949

    Concerns in my minds, in words other than my own shity unpopular writing:

    1. “In fact, the assumption that smartness is something you “have” had led to such nonsensical terms as over-and underachievers.” ― Neil Postman, The End of Education: Redefining the Value of School

    2. “Textbooks, it seems to me, are enemies of education, instruments for promoting dogmatism and trivial learning. They may save the teacher some trouble, but the trouble they inflict on the minds of students is a blight and a curse.” ― Neil Postman, The End of Education: Redefining the Value of School

    3. “Thomas Jefferson. . . knew what schools were for–to ensure that citizens would know when and how to protect their liberty. . . It would not have come easily to the mind of such a man, as it does to political leaders today, that the young should be taught to read exclusively for the purpose of increasing their economic productivity.” ― Neil Postman, The End of Education: Redefining the Value of School, September 1995

    People who think ‘personal belief’ of outside events

    Alex Jones and USA Sandy Hook school shooting being a hoax.

    Key points:

    1. Alex Jones in Austin Texas USA would never even know of Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. He lives far away, only information systems are how he learned of this. This is not first-hand knowledge, experience, it is in the realm of Canada’s Professor Marshall McLuhan: “the medium is the message” topics.

    2. Alex Jones does not travel to and investigate the event. He strictly reacts to information systems using his “information wars dot com” information venue. This is pure information vs. information systems.

    3. It is treated like faith based, personal belief, despite being a real-world factual event. That’s the general nightmare attitude that we accept in people. That somehow when someone does not understand the impact of electric media systems (or media venues, like the Church and performance reading of The Bible)… that it is a “personal belief” instead of misunderstanding, media ecology education, misinterpretation.

    People are taking understanding for granted, that learning about facts and events is trivial. Alex Jones does not UNDERSTAND. this isn’t a matter of his personal belief, this is a matter of his comprehension of factual events that happened at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.

    1. Does Alex Jones have trouble interpreting HDTV content from real-world? Does he live in an “alternate reality” created by television as a media environment? As Neil Postman described in 1985. !BackTo1985@lemm.ee

    2. Does he create a media environment that furthers this with his own “info wars dot com” audience… for profit

    The for-profit aspect has realities we rarely discuss: People need money and are rewarded socially for having expensive and iconic items they purchase with money. Prime real estate locations, beach houses, exotic travel - all are rewarded socially and can cost big money. We have built a social system of rewarding extreme wealth and worshiping people just because they own assets and have exclusive access to places and people that wealth provides. Is Alex Jones corrupted by this unwritten / unspoken / between-the-lines aspect of society? Is he even self-aware or educated on Edward Bernays and Vladislav Surkov systems of manipulation, or is he acting out society unwritten rules without comprehending they are forces acting on what he considers to be personal free-thinking choices?

    How often do we have to see people caught up in wealth cults like Scientology and Saudi Arabia Royalty / Russian Kremlin money laundering cults / wealth concentration cults - to realize there are people who are not self-aware, do not have understanding / education / comprehension that they are influenced by assets the wealthy hoard and prize? We even use the term “influencers” commonly in year 2025, but seem to have no comprehension that this is exactly the role the Church / Mosque plays for Saudi Arabia Royalty and Kings and Queens throughout history. “Allah Influencers”, “Yahweh Influencers” and our lack of self-awareness and education to people on this behavior of medium (venues, Synagogue, Church, Mosque - like Alex Jones and Joe Rogan podcasts) and media content (Bible, Joe Rogan storytelling, Star Wars storytelling, etc).

    Wealth and power lords of Egypt empires built tall buildings in triangle shapes, today more are skyscrapers like Donald Trump Tower in Chicago, Vegas, New York City - the modern day Egypt Pyramids.

    Does Donald Trump have the metal self-understanding, self-awareness, mass mind (Howard Bloom term), Mass Man (Marshall McLuhan term) self-comprehension of his behaviors and powers? Is he that intelligent to know he is acting out scripts of Edward Bernays and Vladislav Surkov and all their students? Or does he just follow it without self-awareness? that’s the topic here. And do Donald Trump symbolism cult members (like Mosque and Jesus Story / Mary Story cult members of the Quran storytelling) have self-awareness too? that’s the topic.

      Was told I need psychiatric help for being concerned.

      We do, we have “mass psychosis” as a nation. People do not know how to address "mob mentality’ group thinking problems. Cult behaviors, especially media cults like Fox News audience and Elon Musk Twitter audiences.

      Was told I need psychiatric help for being concerned.

      Americans constantly accept “get therapy”, “take drugs”, “go get meds from the doctor, medical industrial complex” as answers to war, mass dehumanization, disease outbreaks / pandemics, wealth inequality, Fox News causing society-wide problems. Meds and personal therapy do not fix real-world massive problems.

      We are a very ignorant society in year 2024 and year 2025. “Get private personal therapy” does not address living in Palestine in year 2024. “Get personal therapy” does not address living in Japan in 1944 or Germany in 1939… or Ukraine in 2024.

      We, The People, have !MassBrainDamage@lemm.ee from the "mob mentality’ and “group think”, the Twitter-think Tweet-length answers like you were messaged by a Reddit machine lover. Little turds of reactionary pot-shots and ideas to serious systemic large-scale society-wide issues.

      It’s right there in the voting data for any old fool to see, I recommend you take a look.

      MAGA values and MAGA communications: insult and attack, call people idiots and fools, say there is magic evidence “if you look”, provides no citations or references. This is American MAGA media usage.

      Everyone knows the swing states were rigged.

      MAGA-speak “elections are stolen”, no evidence, no facts, just chanting phrases

      Everyone knows

      MAGA Donald Trump-speak “Everyone Knows”, “Everyone is Saying” - with zero evidence. No discussion of information warfare / mass psychosis on social machines, just trust no-identity messages that anyone can create for free (no “follow the money” trail people chant).

      fluffywaggin: Dude. Stop it already.

      Chummy MAGA style “trust me Bro” personalty appeal.

      Don’t tell me you believe the narrative put forth by the mainstream media

      But trust “Trust me Bro” social media MAGA-narratives off social media systems infiltrated by Russia with no-identity media message accounts created in the last year.

      Media ecology literacy nightmare we have all been living under since 2014.

      Don’t be a rube.

      Yha, trust people who provide no identity shit-talk insult messages on Reddit who give zero evidence or references, like MAGA does since 2015, and just keep adopting more and more Trumpism Twitter-think and Elon Musk Twitter-meme behaviors like MAGA.

      That’s your message. That’s how Surkov won the information war, by wrecking reality with no-fact no-evidence “sounds goods on Twitter” messaging shit-talk Tweeting. A society that flocks to the most garbage information sources like Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan, and zero-evidence rumor mills on social systems. MAGA: “The Election was STOLEN” bullshit-talk (no evidence, no facts just “sounds good”) for years and years. Now the entire population, 100% - is in this simulacra.

      American people will eventually kick him out and try all of these treasonous dogs once they re-establish law and order.

      American People have lost all reason-thinking in favor of react-commenting on social machines endlessly mocking those they disagree with, creating a total mockery. The problem is no-identity social media style of no-citations, no-links, not reading articles, not reading books, just reacting to everything Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Katy Perry, White House, Russia does at every turn. Unable to get on the same page and move towards good ideas, people flock to every turd behavior that Elon Musk and Donald Trump do and taste-test the turd and give their reaction-rating of how good the shit flowing out of the White House tastes this hour, waiting for the next junk to react to.

      people should be at the rioting stage

      MAGA has been anti-intellectual promoting thug life and “kick the shit out of people you disagree with”, “cancel the department of education”, and now 100% of the USA population agrees: abandon reason thinking and do MORE riots and dumb as fuck shit.

      Since Donald Trump went to Moscow in November 2013, the USA public answer to dumb shit is always more dumb shit, please. The more Elon Musk and Donald Trump do outrageous mass dehumanization, the more the American Public becomes mass dehumanization values on social systems. The more stupid and dumb things Donald Trump does, the more social machine users mimic his style and behaviors. Donald Trump uses Twitter machines to insult and shit-talk to “win debate”, now everyone in USA does this on every social media platform to mimic Donald Trump’s machine usage.

      Surkov won the information war, Americans flock to anti-intelligence anti-thinking at every step.

    April 16 afternoon

    As long as we have fiction to pass down.

    When I lived in the Middle East studying the Syria war outbreak and social media / media systems ecology of public, region to region, platform to platform…

    It took me a lot of time to come to terms what Moyers and Campbell had said about “die for a metaphor”.

    People willing to murder, kill, wage war, The Crusades, the terrorism acts, for deception to pass down to their children. For falsehoods, for fiction content.

    How they will kill and murder others for pursuit of truth, seeking honesty and sincerity. As happened to Malala in Swat Valley, Pakistan. It really was hard for me to accept that I had grown up with these same teachings… to die for a storybook, for fiction, was the honorable killing and murder of non-believers in that one and only one “Good Book”. And Malala, like Martin Luther King Jr in my birthplace state of Georgia, was murdered for pursuit of factual non-fiction truth and interpretation, not just praising fiction above all else, and one storybook above all other stories.

    You see it here today (2024 and 2025 USA) with Twitter-think Fox-news audience, Reddit-audience, Lemmy audience, people getting off like terrorists do in wanting to hurt and harm those who don’t agree with the fiction.

    It took me a very very very hard time to to come to terms the way people love fiction stories and dehumanize persons / people / non-believers in their fiction. The systemic assault on those who research and share factual truth. The Pandemic showed this in spades too, so many were afraid to speak science truth in the face of the fiction… because people want to kill those who don’t agree with the fiction, and the fiction believers want to die by disease for their fiction, suicide terrorism.

    Now in April 2025, there are thousands of fiction patterns people tune into on social machines / media machines and they are willing to systemically destroy those who disagree, it’s an orgy of fiction wrecking people who seek truth. The Kremlin + White House Unified assault on goodness and sincere understanding.

    In the face of the White House 2025, people don’t say: hey, we are drowning in bullshit. Maybe we should all start educating on why ChatGPT is bad, and why fiction can confuse people, and why Fox News belief in falsehoods and nonsense is bad for society. Instead, people cling to their non-identity social media systems and want to generate more and more throw-away messages that only drown out what little remains of goodness and sincere understandings.

    “…history has shown that the most terrible crimes against love have been committed in the name of fanatically defended doctrines.” ― Paul Tillich, Dynamics of Faith
