moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot.

one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

What’s happening online is a mirror of what’s happening in the streets.

They don’t just want to disappear people— they hey want to disappear reality itself.

Stay awake. Stay loud. Stay human. ✊

If your feed feels surreal, contradictory, demoralizing—that’s not an accident, it’s the strategy.

Hypernormalization makes people stop trusting their own outrage. That’s how regimes keep power: not just by force, but by making truth feel impossible.

The message is psychological:

• Resistance is futile.

• Even Black people support it.

• Violence is normal, even desirable.

This isn’t just random noise. It’s authoritarian DARVO at scale: Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim & Offender.

Why TikTok? Because when you reset your account, the algorithm “tests” you. Right-wing propaganda farms have poured millions into dominating that probe space.

Your first exposure is engineered outrage bait, designed to funnel you into despair or complicity.

Authoritarian propaganda is obsessed with cleanliness:
“clean streets,” “clean cities,” “clean up crime.”

It’s code. It doesn’t mean cleaner sidewalks. It means cleansing the public of whoever the regime has marked as disposable.

This is hypernormalization:

Flood the public with absurd contradictions until reality itself feels unreal.

• Black voices cheering anti-Black violence

• Disappearances framed as “cleanliness”

• Cruelty sold as “order”

So people stop resisting.

One video had a Black man casually calling the disappeared “N-words.” That’s not organic speech. That’s scripted dehumanization.

This is a propaganda tactic: put brutal words in the mouths of those most harmed, so it looks less racist and more “common sense.”

The content wasn’t just generic MAGA fluff. It was Black creators (real or AI-generated) saying they “like” what’s happening in DC because the streets are “cleaner.”

Translation: they want us to believe Black people are celebrating the disappearance of Black people.

My TikTok account got banned with no warning.

When I started over with a new account, the “fresh” feed was wall-to-wall right-wing propaganda. That’s not random—it’s how the algorithm probes new users.

And what I saw was chilling. 🧵 #hypernormalization #tiktok #resist

Absolutely radicalized.

At least koalas evolved to be objectively adorable. 😬

⛪️ This is also why men are experiencing a religious revival. Patriarchal religions take a binary perspective on nearly all issues because acknowledging nuance and variability requires higher levels of cognitive ability.

💍 🚫 This is why women are leaving marriages, choosing to stay single and encouraging the next generation to prioritize their education and career over everything else.

🎢 The internet’s unfettered access to brain-smoothing content accelerated men’s decline while also simultaneously giving women an opportunity to share notes on a scale they’ve never had before.

🧨 It’s like they’ve been running a decades-long self-administered neurological demolition project.

💣 By marinating in dehumanizing, hyper-stimulating content, avoiding the mental “exercise” of empathy, patience, and self-reflection and letting patriarchal privilege atrophy the skills they never had to develop in the first place— men have physiologically altered their own brains to be anti-social.

• Amygdala changes reflecting altered emotional salience for human faces, especially women’s faces

• Reduced connectivity between empathy-related regions (e.g., anterior cingulate cortex, temporoparietal junction) and executive control centers

• Increased activity but reduced baseline sensitivity in the reward system (ventral striatum, nucleus accumbens)

• Reduced gray matter volume in the prefrontal cortex (self-regulation, planning, empathy)

👩‍🔬👩🏽‍🔬👩🏻‍🔬 If, in 50 years, someone does a post-mortem comparisons between men heavily immersed in porn/social media toxic masculinity content vs. those who weren’t, we could expect:

🔬 From an adaptation standpoint, the loss of those traits isn’t paradoxical—it’s exactly what you’d expect when an environment stops rewarding them.

🤖 In modern conditions, that “selection pressure” for empathy and cooperation in men is even weaker because the internet and online porn allow them to bypass real human relationships entirely.

💪🏻 For millennia, male dominance structures meant that men did not need empathy, cooperation, or long-term provisioning skills to reproduce; they only needed control over women’s reproductive access.

📱 If men’s habits include high-frequency, high-intensity consumption of stimuli that reward dominance, novelty-seeking, + objectification—while underutilizing empathy, cooperation, + creative collaboration—it’s reasonable to predict that 🧠 regions associated with the latter functions could shrink.

🚬 Similar changes have been documented in gambling addiction, substance abuse, and even compulsive video gaming.

🧠 Studies on frequent pornography users show changes in different parts of the brain, including:

• the ventral striatum (reward processing)
• prefrontal cortex (impulse control)
• amygdala (emotional regulation)

Wowwwww. Apple on its knees.

Absolutely beautiful work. If I did that I’d never shut up about it.
