as the global hegemon & Israel's chief enabler, America gets more dedicated humiliation treatments, from Netanyahu bragging abt unconstitutional US laws & censorship to some Israeli who harasses US students with impunity mocking the mother of an American reporter who made a Twitter account for this

OK, but my buddy Pete took DMT & happened to rewrite "Don't Build The Torment Nexus" word for word, & let me tell you his version is hella richer! Scifiman's Nexus is just a machine, but Pete's is a haunting metaphor for the dysfunctional family he grew up in & his struggle to truly love himself
