The hypocrisy is stunning.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds S3E10 seems to be a blatant rip-off of Kirk's trip to the Nexus in generations. If so, lame.

More shock = more popularity = more dopamine. It's a tough, lonely cycle that will probably only get worse before it gets better.

They've created a rich fantasy world where every day is an episode of "24" & only they can prevent the destruction of society. No amount of talking, reasoning or information can change this person's position because it's who they are now.
18.11.2025 16:41 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0This has been acknowledged a hundred times over, here and elsewhere. The debate is whether we can still fight it with Democratic means or whether we've gone past that and now must give up on Democracy and overthrow a fascist government by other means. We aren't there yet.

Epstein is a toxic brand & tying it to Trump is the strongest, most effective strategy yet. Still those who are supposed to "know politics better" than anybody else can't figure that out????
