They're coming for the dissidents, the scholars, the lawyers, and the media first, which is what dictators often do.
Shut up the loud opposition, shut up the people who know history best, shut up the tools of legal opposition, and shut up those trying to provide transparency.

This describes something I've felt for so long but been unable to articulate. Empathy demands intelligence and imagination, and suppressing primal fear or hatred of the unfamiliar requires active mental effort. You're not designed to care, you're designed to compete.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Americans, take inspiration from this Ukrainian. The American people are currently in the confused state that Ukranians were once in. But the time for the people is coming, as more and more people open their eyes to the corner they're being backed into, they will rise and fight like no other

Americans tend to equate someone having money with someone having ability.
Perhaps, watching idiots like Donald Trump and Elon Musk ruin everything will dispel that superficial assumption.
People get money for all kinds of reasons, some legal, that have nothing to do with ability. #RichFathers

A set of countries hates us; another is bewildered/dismayed/horrified; a third group is laughing at us; and the last group is working the angles to fleece us by flattering the weak-minded senile dope who occasionally shows up at the White House to sign stuff. NOBODY respects us.

On its most recent 10-K filing DJT, Trumps money hemorrhaging media company list as one of the risk factors the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Surprise surprise Trump has halted that act by EO. This is beyond doubt the most corrupt POTUS in history and the GOP controlled congress sleeps.

This seems rather worse than Munich 1938
REPORTER: Do you view Ukraine as an equal member of this peace process?
TRUMP: Ummmm ... it's an interesting question. I think they have to make peace. That was not a good war to go into.

The point is to bombard the people with crap, to exhaust them, so that they start to tune out and quietly submit. Then the regime can let rip and do anything it wants, unencumbered by optics or public opinion.
