got triggered, had another of #DigitsRants over someone's post about a song. lol. might as well make it it's own post. here it is as is... even though i'm aware it appals people in both sides of the polarising groupthink, and some may put me on ignore for not obeying their groupthink. n_n

here it is as is, in all it's scruffy rattled-out-in-one scatter-brained ugly glory littered with unfinished thoughts and lists, and brashness...

---

i still dont get how people fall for it.
the cognitive dissonance, even when they can accept much of:

• they have a duopoly, an omni party.
• they have the system rigged a dozen ways.
• * selection not election
• * gerrymandering
• * "lobbying", "lobbying", "lobbying"
• * rigged voting machines
• * voter suppression (another dozen ways)
• * no ranked choice, no proportionality,
• * pseudo-elective puppet-dictatorship oligarchy
• * couped from agencies
• * legalised bribery
• * the electoral college (in all its orwellian named nepotistic glory)
• * the absenhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WxSZ2hsrB4ce of protections against the system being bought
• * ... okay, there are way more than a dozen, depending how you slice the cake. this list can go on and on.
• they've been priming trump('s easily manipulable narcissistic ego) for this since the 1980s.
• they know they are not trusted
• they present trump as the outsider against them
• they promote trump at every turn (no such thing as bad advertising ~ how much airtime to, e.g. howie hawkins. how much air time to trump?)
• he can say whatever he likes when ad-lib'ing off script, then they can feed the right portions to the right people through the algorithm to manage perceptions on an individual basis, acutely buying their trust
• "a more than slightly mobbed up crook" i think is how one anarchist philosopher, anthropologist and historian put it.

and it's all screaming,

he's their boy.

still, maybe he broke their conditioning, isnt a plant to meddle with us, divide us and conquer us, placate us and conquer us, and really is the strongman saviour.

ohhhhh wait.

so even if past all the clues, he's the one... we're still in a duped fascistic paradigm. and not the new one like they try convince us of is the looming threat, like we're fine and free and democratic where we are, NO, it's not fine already, and it's not different if he gets in. it's the same. the paradigm continues. the establishment continues. the suppression of all that can emancipate us continues. the theft from everybody continues, and we get told it's "the economy", and a thousand other orwellianised lies to convince us to become the totalitarianised zombies attacking each other, finding the other, in our groupthink, distracted from the man behind the curtain.

it's a pantomime of muppets to dupe us and keep us deluded.

oh wouldnt it be nice if trump and rfk were as our best jungian projected qualities and hopes.

cant get to mends from here.

solution space is elsewhere than accepting who the system feeds us, even as they profess so hard "oh those outsiders, oh no, dont vote for them who we cant stop talking about, vote for this, our other of the two evils, er, i mean parties, because there's only two parties, keep repeating, there's only two parties, and look, here, vote for this one, the one we're making look crap and telling you to vote for, instead of the one we're making up absurd lies about making him look better while we vapidly profess to be against him".

... like, yeah, no, sure, we're really in a new paradigm than the same old con of the two evils here arent we.

... keep repeating, our votes count.

... i'm sure the proprietary voting machines and rabid polarised mindsets deep malignant groupthink shall all be tending to the elections honestly. because maybe they care.

... i'm sure whoever they get, it'll be one of the duopoly's selection though. and there'in's the rub. the dire predicament of false hope.

... and that's not to evoke hopelessness.

... that's to say hope is elsewhere.

... ... i guess it's easier for me to have seen that, having seen what a joke trump is, how they play him, and had an ex-colleague of trump's even elaborate on that extensively in a pub, 20 years ago. easier for me to not fall for it,
here it is as is...
oh, but maybe it's not something that i'm not falling for, and maybe trump's legit! ... in which case, again, we are in a lot of trouble, saluting a strong man to save us.

see how the ploy works?

they weaken us, and present a savior.

they put us in this desperate situation, present the establishment bad, the new guy good, gonna mend it all...

... how about we go back to empowering everybody for realsies, yeah?

if someone offers you 2 pills to pick 1 from, reject their offer, and go grow your own food. ;) or grab both, and analyse them... see if they're really the same, with different coating.

dont buy the sales pitch.

beware, advertising/marketing/propaganda... we[*] dedicate our entire lives to manipulating you, just doing our job. how much of your life you dedicate to preventing us and protecting yourself from our manipulations? we have millions, billions, and trillions invested in this hypnotic ride we've taken you on. how much have you invested in preserving your own free thought, free from our manipulations? Think it's enough? Because we'd love to convince you that you're sufficiently protected from our influence, or even delight in our influence, just helping you find the things you want, and have you convinced that what you want is what you always wanted, and that it was your own idea, your own thoughts, your own preferences, completely oblivious to the extent of our influence in shaping your life, your every thought and feeling, every association and identification, every perception about yourself, and others, every moral principle, and philosophical leaning, all putty in our hands, and you'll love it. you'll own nothing. and be happy.

[* I say "we", because I used to be one of them. Speaking from first hand experience, knowing what it's like to be a good advertiser.]

but it's just a ride.

and we can change it.

any time we want.

a choice.

no savings or money.

a choice.

right now.

... bill said the eyes of love, vs the eyes of hate.

that's good.

but that's perhaps just half.

lets also add the eyes curiosity, vs the eyes of ignorance.

that's just open loving eyes.

no fear. no big locks or guns.

imagine, all that we spend, not just on weapons, but also on ignorance, if instead, we spent that feeding, clothing, and educating the world, none excluded, and then we could explore space. both inner and outer. together. forever. in peace.

a long living peace.

but hey, maybe trump and rfk are the guys who will usher in the satya yuga. [even despite warning sign clues]

but still, seems folly to pin hopes on that, and give power away to that.

if they are, fine, do your own good anyway. if they are not, fine, do your own good anyway.

either way, finding what we each can do to help, will help.

and per chance that inspires others to find what they can do too, all the better.

here's to empowering everybody, for mutually beneficent betterment of each and all.

okay. sorry for autistically ranting emotive satirical logic over your nice post about a song. n_n

ima go watch some jimmy dore or howie hawkins n calm down, lol. heh, not that i'm proposing that as any exception to "in a sea of misinformation, everybody's a shill" either. just another perspective somewhat more outside the main spray radius of
the hope is still with america though... that they have to play their trump card, shows their precarious predicament, that they try placate us so, shows they know, and that's why they try usurp our revolution before it happens, with their plant, telling us the things we say back to us, buying our trust back. if we fall for it.
