Apparently it is now our patriotic duty to watch Jimmy Kimmel Live. Dammit.

Zelenskyy arrived today. Perhaps the big orange baby didn’t want to be there at the same time as someone with actual stones.

For sure, and humans have a susceptibility to the “fear the stranger” message.

The fear-mongers have ever better tools. Amounts to a fentanyl strength opiate for the target audience.

The Fear Industrial Complex centered on Fucks News scours the country and the world to find the worst thing that happened in the last 30 minutes, so the amount of horror people find out about really is way up from a generation ago.

100% people wildly overestimate crime, because their primary news source constantly raves about a massive crime wave when in fact crime is at historic lows.

Is it really any worse than the stuff in the Bible?

You mean this god killed *everyone* except for one family? Including the kids? And we are supposed to believe this is the *good* guy? Get outa here!

And now you’ve made me read it. Thanks for that. 🙄

I don’t want to give the impression that this attitude about “undeserving” is pervasive, just that it is common enough to matter. And it is highly concentrated in Trump supporters, who have the reigns of power right now.

The destructive attitude of “Don’t bother me with facts. I have a story.”
May 24, 2025 at 10:16 PM
I’m with you on that for sure. But I think a lot of people are driven by the anecdotes about the one rather than the statistics about the 99.

I should check that out but it doesn’t surprise me a bit. You can convince people to self harm in all kinds of ways if it also harms people they don’t like.

The money force by itself can’t be said out loud by policymakers, but the cultural one can. It’s part of the same cluster of cultural messages as “welfare queens” living it up at the expense of good god-fearing working men and women.
May 24, 2025 at 9:58 PM
Oh I totally agree that the money force a big factor.

I think there is kind of a two-step that happens. One set of forces pushes policymakers in the direction you cite. That then gets sold to the populace with cultural messages about “deserving” and “choice”.

We are getting our phase now.
