This study is spot on, and it’s hilarious.

I have found liberals are unable to resist absurd comedy surreal antics of conservatives. No matter the topic or concern (no matter the depth of serious), if conservatives use absurd surreal comedy and humor, liberals LOL and find it hilarious and hand over power to mass dehumanization leaderships.

I really wish we, NATO, could find a defense against surreal absurd “Surkov Governing” that has wrecked NATO

“In the twenty-first century the techniques of the political technologists have become centralized and systematized, coordinated out of the office of the presidential administration, where Surkov would sit behind a desk on which were phones bearing the names of all the “independent” party leaders, calling and directing them at any moment, day or night. The brilliance of this new type of authoritarianism is that instead of simply oppressing opposition, as had been the case with twentieth-century strains, it climbs inside all ideologies and movements, exploiting and rendering them absurd. One moment Surkov would fund civic forums and human rights NGOs, the next he would quietly support nationalist movements that accuse the NGOs of being tools of the West. With a flourish he sponsored lavish arts festivals for the most provocative modern artists in Moscow, then supported Orthodox fundamentalists, dressed all in black and carrying crosses, who in turn attacked the modern art exhibitions. The Kremlin’s idea is to own all forms of political discourse, to not let any independent movements develop outside of its walls. Its Moscow can feel like an oligarchy in the morning and a democracy in the afternoon, a monarchy for dinner and a totalitarian state by bedtime.” ― Peter Pomerantsev, Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible: The Surreal Heart of the New Russia, 2014

So, they’re mostly illiterate, but also deeply unwell? Sounds like a combination ripe for rampant exploitation. 🤷🏼‍♂️

you need a certain base level of awareness to get what mentally ill means

I think you meant to say…

Guess you need a certain base level of awareness to get mentally ill.

Really, you think someone raised in Palestine in year 2024 or Afghanistan year 2024 needs a base level of self-awareness to be fucked-over by parents and clergy? Or do you think beyond Twitter-length Tweet-Thinking Elton Musk and Donald Trump cognitive complexity ideas? Have you studied the Middle East / Levant clergy values in Iran, Palestine, Israel, Saudi Arabia parenting?

This is mostly a joke

Do you think the Quran, Bible, Torah are a science fiction clergy joke upon humanity, LOL amusement?

Two months on Lemmy machine social systems. What’s your real name, do you think non-identity social media is all humor jokes?

American conservatives tend to rate their mental health
