  1. In the meantime I saw some cute cats.
  2. What do you mean by a known evil , has the standard fallen that low?
  3. But tactical moves against what exactly? What is so wrong with the establishment for such a revolt, if i may ask?
  4. What universal values do you think are fundamental to Trumpism?
  5. It's funny how certain things that used to bother me so much before don't bother me that much right now. Thats a great liberating feeling.
  6. My morning song.
  7. I should shame myself for clinging on to anything.
  8. Why would you try stopping something that interests you? Why would it be unhealthy? Or maybe you convinced yourself that it's unhealthy? I play games too but I'm not addicted and it's a lot of fun. Weed calms you but that's temporary. Generally weed becomes too much in the end. Happened to one of my friends.
  9. I'm not completely sure if he will win or not. Anyways it's all a psychological rot.
  10. Cheap talk and excessive communication no matter how trashy creates an image of friendliness. I don't see a lot of intelligent people in powerful positions. Intelligent ones are generally quiet. People are charmed by a compulsive talker even if he talks rubbish. The next is drama and stimulation. People like drama. A dull person cannot hold the attention of masses. People like Trump are familiar with entertainment and can generate drama that the lowest common denominator feeds on. There is a need to directly rile up people's emotions by fear mongering or sympathizing their hopes, this is the opium. You feed people with rubbish talk and drama so they are engaged like little children. That's why Hitler was popular. He emphasized people's hopes. He gave them constant drama. He created friendliness in German people through constant rubbish banter. That's the key.
  11. It's a cult of personality. It fades with time. People will be obsessed with Trump for some time. Then it will fade into obscurity as time goes. It's like mass hysteria. After many years passed, people will realize how foolish it all was.
  12. Trump has a cult of personality effect. He appeals to the lowest common denominator and kiddo emotions. People want a big Sugar Daddy figure. Trump appeals to that. Trump engages in layman talk that uneducated masses love to listen to. With his crude jokes and entertainment. The only appeal of Trump is "I'll give you this. I'll give you that." It is attractive to a nation with Skydaddy religion. Because they all want some God of Abraham to land on the world and provide all the children. It's very classic Biblical - God the savior. People see a Christ version in Trump. A man who has come to save them in misery, a great lord provider. This will be a very effective strategy with Christianity at it's backing. Trump would never win without Christianity. Trump almost capitalized a religion as his road to presidency. It's a clever plot, a twisted con. But it works brilliantly in a half stage Blue half stage Orange country of America.
  13. Verbal aggression is a problem mostly in long term situations. If someone argued with me at the club, I might have a tense few seconds and then I can go have a shower. But if you have a neighbor who is verbally aggressive, that can build up over time and that kind of drama and conflict can cause a lot of damage. You might have to move out of the neighborhood. There are other examples too. If you have a long term relationship where the other person is constantly verbally aggressive, it will destroy your health over time. Also another example is high school bullying. Verbal aggression in constant bullying can lead to long term anxiety and trauma and impact on self esteem. If you are in a club or a temporary place like a train or shopping, verbal aggression might not hurt too much because you can easily forget the incident and escape from that place quickly. Verbal aggression is generally a huge problem if you are stuck in a situation and it's long term having to deal with it, especially if it's too close physically or emotionally.
  14. If people look for excitement, it will also lead to chaos then. It's called karma.
  15. Absolutely no evidence for this. During Covid, economy was worse. And Trump does not want to tax the rich. The only good point I can offer Trump is that he might have slightly reduced medical drug costs. But Trump made a lot of divisive comments, the racial situation was much worse during Trump, with the Charlottesville incident. Trump fueled hatred to the point that lead to the January 6th attack. And Trump vehemently denied election results calling it a fraud. A person with the mindset of Trump is very dangerous because it can easily create a dictatorial government. He might not be Hitler but he is able to generate divisive hatred and that matters a lot. You might think it's few people who are dying but it's still some people who died and it's not worth it. Even if Trump wins, the situation is not going to be better under his administration because he feeds a lot on chaos. It's people like Trump who have ruined free speech. Now there is more censorship on speech because of his hate speech politics.
  16. Men get aggressive when they are angry. This is natural to them. Also other men see aggression in a man as a trait of confidence. This is not something I invented. This is something I observed in men. Men even take steroids to increase their natural aggression. They feel more confident when they can release their inner aggression. That's why a lot of men are attracted to someone like Andrew Tate. He represents that repressed aggression to them that they would like to look up to or achieve.
  17. A guy's mentality is that they get insanely angry if their girlfriend is complimented by other dudes. They don't like it. It creates defensive aggression in them because they feel invaded. It's their core masculine instinct. It's not the fact that he is drunk. He was furious that you were around his girlfriend. Even a sober man won't be able to control his temper if he saw another man chatting or flirting with his girlfriend. Better to avoid such scenarios. You're sort of asking for trouble by triggering/provoking core masculine instinct.
  18. Can you enlist at least 4 of his opinions please? Which you preferably like.
  19. Also. Trump was already in power for 4 years. But he didn't accomplish anything at all. He was too lazy with his handling of Covid. Why is Trump such a good candidate to you? He did not resolve border issues. He did not turn good on anything he promised in his campaigns. I'm still puzzled about what Trump administration really accomplished in 4 years in your mind?
  20. You can't describe such a violent act as simply "foolish" and just dismiss it.
