What is ACTUALLY going on?? (In US + social media)

[Dauntment]

I am simultaneously writing this in addition to preparing for a contemplation session about: What the f*ck is going on in regards to [The United States/Social Media/Culture/etc.]

I have been passively thinking about it but SEEING this picture: *adin ross interview with Donald Trump*

Some of my perspective/lines of thought (in bulletpoint form):

• (Rhetorical) What the F*CK credentials/relevance does a 23yr old CHILD have with the felon-convicted former President, Trump?
  • Presumably: Some campaigning, influence of culture, mass marketing ploys, etc.
• (Meanwhile) Meg The Stallion is twerking on stage, at the OTHER President candidate............
• A perspective: What the hell would previous generations (Founding Fathers) or Future generations think of our current politics/antics?
• What "forces" or "Who" exactly is "pulling these strings"? 
  • Giving Adin Ross a contract for dozens of millions of dollars
    • You could say Kick, but who is financing THEM? 
  • "Pushing" the association of modern influencers: Female "rappers" (Ice Spice, Sexyy Red), AMP Clan (Kai Cenat, Duke Dennis), xQc, Speed, etc.
• In medieval times, "Jesters" were figures that were royally decorated (provided more resources than the common peasant), but were more or less forced to "entertain the masses"
• The comments/feedback around events like this are typically....Satire. Memes. Jokes. (I suppose it would be foolish to expect anything else from a fool)
• There is the notion of  [Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. Weak men create hard times]
  • I can't put my finger on it nor make it explicit, but I am increasingly certain (as time progresses) that we are in the stage of the creation of weak men, and may even be passing into "hard times".

 

 

TL;DR - At a macro-level (for the past several years), I have been feeling/intuiting something is "wrong" and is increasingly worsening though I haven't been able to explicate the source, cause or endpoint of this (An economic collapse/catastrophe? World War 3?) . Perhaps I am wrong or perceiving a delusion as I don't care to pet hold some doom-mongering conspiracy, but what do you guys think?

Its a big Russian scam. No other explanation. Andrew tate these kids trump musk all linked. I wouldn't be surprised if the other side is controlled by Russia too.

America is too free. Biden so senile he call zelensky putin and almost revealed their plan so they kicked him out of the race .

 

The most powerful nation treat their politics like Jerry springer

If you want to waste time trying to make sense out of an ordered chaos, go right ahead. It has never been any different and never will. The universe is being filtered through your Consciousness and what is happening on the outside is interpreted by you. In a world with no words or language none if it would make sense and language was invented by humans.

@Princess Arabia intersting. I was watching a video of my sister teaching her daugther to say the number from 1 to 10 using a game made of wood block. Maybe weeks ago that block were just colors and shapes for the girl or maybe even more nebulous. And now day by day the blocks will be reified into something else, the augmented reality keep going, more juicy, wordly and far for the original wordless something. Luckly there a lot of things in the direct experience that one cant name.

You must to like this kid. He rarely watch the news.

And from another perspective, news or any sort of content we read or hear are inputs, interpreted by our bias as negative, positive and all sorts of interpretation. Another day trying to sleep after drink a small weak dose of Dmt I notice I was anoyed with the sounds of dogs barking, suddenly I heard the sound of a bird singing and in my mind if felt interessted in the bird in opossition from the annoying dogs. But wait, who is making distinction of x sound is good and x sound is bad? Me? The judge of sounds. Lame I know, but the game is this keep checking how some sounds deligth and other sounds disgust. 

News are sounds,words,sentences,meanings that represent oportunity or threat. 

Imagine that you would be deaf and have the grace of listening for the first time. Even the sound of Trump Rumblings would make you cry. Nothing special  about Trump voice, but you would be Gratefull and in Awe for the Gift of Hearing.

a point here: Not all Christian as crazy MAGA nationalists 

Found this Father on Instagram and his message is this :

I called my fellow Christian’s here because I grieve that we have lost so much in this regard. rarely has it been those closest to me in brick churches who have ventured to pray with me at the top of a mountain. Oh what worship and knowledge we have missed.

To exploit - to use something past it’s it’s limits, design, and capacity for one’s own gain. Or, to use something in such a way as to leave it useless while you have gained benefit from its demise.
Exploitation is one of the great evils of human history and present. It is the opposite of love and the opposite of community.
Our entire economy is based on a relationship with nature that leaves the land immensely worse than we found it. We have used it passed the carrying capacity God designed it for, and not for necessity if food, for profit. Some believe we are too far gone to recover. I don’t think you need to change your relationship with the land to save the planet, you need to do it for yourself, for the benefit of your own soul. Whether you’re an athiest transgender liberal vegan or a gun owning conservative right wing hunter, protecting and conserving nature is something we have a stake in. You can not hug trees or hunt without conservation of forest and habitat. Politicians don’t get to use this one to divide people, we are all on the same side here !
The next 6 months will possibly be the most divisive since the civil way, but there are some things that should reach passed the boxes and tribalism and be a burden carried by all.
On SM I have learned you get more views if you pick a divisive issue and lean hard to a side,
The tribes will support it.
Maybe sometimes that is necessary and appropriate.
Most often, we need to find where we meet in the middle. Nature, Land, and its creatures certainly fall there.
