You need some kind of vape device or oral syringe for up the butt.

I'll see you at the firing squad.

Notice the date of my post about Musk's shift towards fascism: https://actualized.org/insights/how-business-sides-with-fascism

Hitler didn't invent that. He himself was radicalized with anti-Jew propaganda while living homeless on the streets in his youth. He was a megaphone for the scapegoaty ideology of his era. He was like a teen who hangs out on 4chan all day, then gets elected to office.

DMT is much, much more visual. 5-MEO barely alters your sense of vision. It's visually mild while DMT is visual crack. 5-MEO is more ego-dissolving. 5-MEO has high load-body. Can be quite uncomfortable at first.

I will sell an empty jar labeled God. Post-modernists won't even get the joke.

That's what will become of Ukraine if Putin gets his way. That's what the war is really about.

Good point. Without hyper-inflation Hitler may have never been elected.

A fascinating phenomenon on the online right is that they start off innocently repeating and sharing Nazi jokes, not taking them seriously, but after a few years of that, they just end up agreeing with the Nazi ideology. They start off as online edge-lords, then transform into Nazis. It's a process of self-radicalization.

Psychopathy is a physical brain disorder. They are literally missing the part of the brain necessary to feel empathy. Logic will not fix that. You could perhaps convince them, however, to act nice for their own benefit, to stay out of prison. 1/3rd of prison inmates are clinical psychopaths.

Haha! This is politics, not therapy. Know what game you're playing. It's like trying to play chess against a psychopath with a chainsaw.

Great stuff.

People are too ignorant and selfish to understand what a fascist is or what democracy means. All of your logic requires that people do serious thinking, which does not happen.

Eventually you will get sick of all the self-inflicted suffering and just go sober. The only question is, How much suffering will it take you to bite the sober bullet? Drinking is not needed to socialize.

Midterms work differently than General. Midterm voters are engaged, more partisan. It's harder to link inflation to local congressional candidates. What matters is relative perception. How people feel about the change. Not absolute values.

It absolutely mattered. Inflation rate has normalized, but the pain of high prices remains every day you shop. Inflation is a really nasty factor that cannot be swept under the rug because everyone feels it.

That doesn't matter. Voters do not think causally, they just react against whatever they dislike at the moment. Don't forget that Trump lost 2020 mostly because voters dislike the Covid situation. And it didn't matter whether Trump caused the Covid or not. People blamed it on him.

You got it! Great work

Yup. I've seen various such videos.

True to form, stage Orange thinks that everything and everyone is for sale. It's like a cartoon caricature of toxic Orange.

It was a huge factor. Inflation was the single most practical factor that affected ordinary, non-ideological voters. Inflation is felt every time you go to buy groceries and it made people feel the current style of government is failing them. There are few factors as tangible as the 20% inflation we got over the last 4 years. Don't think that voters didn't feel it. Yes, ideology is huge, but many voters just want a good economy. I'm a millionaire and even I feel the pain of inflation when I buy my groceries. Without inflation Kamala might have easily won.

Any explanation of why Trump won which ignore the following points is misguided: 1) Social media epistemic rot, algorithms, and influencer/podcaster populism group-think. 2) Inflation.

Interesting. I'll have to try it out.
