American Studies enthusiast - I post mainly, but not exclusively, about the insanity that is American Conservatism.
Absolute kwaadaardige krankzinnigheid. De VS zijn ontzettend diep gezonken met Trump en neerwaartse spiraal blijft maar doorgaan. Met Trump is er geen bodem. Hij kan altijd lager gaan.
Trump verklaart álle besluiten van Biden met digitale handtekening ongeldig.

I've been getting the feeling that the kind of people who really like and really push AI aren't fully human, like they're missing something. They seem like robots who just wear human skin.

For most of us the Red Scare is just a chapter in a history book.
For American Conservatism red scare is a still ongoing, perpetual, never ending way of life.
And it is deeply, deeply stupid.

Conservatives yell “socialism” at every initiative designed to help people.
Maybe you've heard the word a few times already today.
But this is nothing more than an old scare tactic.
A functioning government requires pooling resources for the common good. Let me explain.

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind?
It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.
It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

Our information space is dominated by a system that demands and rewards continous and immediate emotional gratification, so you can't even begin to have a discussion about complex issues. It's a bright cancer that spreads and multiplies with every interaction.
It's part of the electionification of everything, which is why we as a country are failing to have a proper conversation about our actual problems. It's bad for the left *and* the right.
It's such a bizarre framing. Labour MPs think taking 450k kids out of poverty is putting the country first! That's why they wanted it to happen! It's not because they personally benefit.

American Conservatism
MAGA is losing its mind over Mamdani and imaginary “sharia law” and “Islamic radicalism” — while actually pushing to take away women’s right to vote, arrest women for miscarriages, ban LGBTQ “ideology,” and fuse church and state.

American Conservatism is rotten from top to bottom. Conservative elites used Conservative media to create a monster, and now the monster has consumed them. To the point the monster is now their entire world. They must feed it, they must acquiesce to its every demand. They can't exist without it.
The fact that only 3 (by my count) Republican members of Congress have spoken out about the Witkoff situation shows how thoroughly corrupted and compromised the entire party has become from top to bottom. None of this is about just Trump - it is the entire political party.

In a new doctrinal note, Pope Leo and the Vatican sharply reject polygamy and growing Western polyamory, praising monogamy as an exclusive union between one man and one woman.

I can't think of something less controversial to say about US presidents than that Trump is the most openly corrupt president in US history. Shame on the BBC.
NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."
BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

Although the scale of this is still to be assessed, this is the inevitable outcome of the monetization of the algorithm. Rage-bait becomes a personal revenue model. Nothing about this should be a surprise.
