“Ours is the first age in which many thousands of the best-trained individual minds have made it a full-time business to get inside the collective public mind.” ― Marshall McLuhan, The Mechanical Bride : Folklore of Industrial Man, year 1951

 

Leadership of Nations by using Cringe behaviors. Exploiting the minds of the audience, the citizens of nations, with cringe antics. Using cringe as a method of control and exploitation against a population.

This man has never actually known what he’s doing. He thinks a thought and acts with no reflection. He’s a moron elected by a bunch of other morons

The entire United States of America adores shit-talk like he does and Twitter-length messages since year 2013. He does exactly what Reddit, Bluesky, Twitter, Fox News, Mastodon, Lemmy audiences want, he entertains them by calling people morons all day and night on social machines. It's an entire nation of over 300 million people who flock to shit, people in USA year 2024 and year 2025 just can't resist a 78 year old white man on the toilet with an Apple iPhone. It is their god symbol. Surreal comedy and absurd humor is all people in USA want, more and more. January 2025, February 2025, March 2025 it was endless flocking to Elon Musk, even more than Donald Trump attraction in year 2020.

If they want every person in the world to be Muslim, why don’t they show themselves to be good Muslims first?” ― Malala Yousafzai, I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban.

The damage and destruction is on purpose. He keeps saying it but nobody believes him.

That's the only real issue. Why 100% of the USA population is under a spell that nobody believes it.

"But the key thing was, that Surkov then let it be known that this was what he was doing, which meant that no one was sure what was real or fake. As one journalist put it: "It is a strategy of power that keeps any opposition constantly confused." A ceaseless shape-shifting that is unstoppable because it is undefinable. It is exactly what Surkov is alleged to have done in the Ukraine this year. In typical fashion, as the war began, Surkov published a short story about something he called non-linear war. A war where you never know what the enemy are really up to, or even who they are. The underlying aim, Surkov says, is not to win the war, but to use the conflict to create a constant state of destabilized perception, in order to manage and control."

Repeating for emphasis

  1. This is from year 2014

  2. "the key thing was, that Surkov then let it be known that this was what he was doing" - year 2014. Just like Donald Trump does in year 2024.

  3. "The underlying aim, Surkov says, is not to win the war" - year 2014. And here we are more than a decade later in April 2025 and indeed Russia has a non-ending war with Ukraine.

Not a single person who actually knows what they are doing needs to declare that they do. It's obvious when someone knows what they're doing donald, you're just not that person

When dealing with a population of clowns, you do have to often assert and demonstrate you know what you are doing.

In Donald Trump's case, he knows how to follow Surkov screenplay of year 2013 and does an excellent job. The audience adores the performance. Personally, I'm sick and sickened by 100% of the USA nation who thinks this is enjoyable absurd comedy, who values memes and surreal humor and mocking of mass dehumanization over goodness itself. I think the United States of America people (We The People) in year 2024 and year 2025 have a massive morality education failure and choose these absurd comedy methods over good.

“How to teach again what has been taught correctly it incorrectly 1000 thousand times, throughout the millenniums of mankind's prudent folly? That is the hero's ultimate difficult task. How to render back into light-world language the speech-defying pronouncements of the dark? Many failures attest to the difficulties of this life-affirmative threshold.” ― Joseph Campbell (Sarah Lawrence College for women), The Hero With a Thousand Faces, 1949
