"The Joke is On"

The Joke is on US. The Joke is US. The Joke of the world is the USA.

We had 4 years under Joe Biden to teach cult deprogramming. Instead, we shared more kitten images (which is not a real kitten, but an image) and mocked MAGA instead of rescuing MAGA from message cults. Anti-MAGA is now a cult too in 2024 and year 2025!

It started with the Putin Media Invasion in March 2013 of the World Wide Web information systems / social machine systems. 5,000 cult patterns were deployed of anti-reality.

The "Donald Trump 1D checkers joke" is that Vlad Putin and Vlad Surkov were playing 32D Chess, and people mocking Donald Trump checkers was the joke. Now we are DFW's nightmare realized on the world stage. All the world being that WWW stage. Die By Absurd Surreal Comedy, We The People Were Warned

NOTE: like most my writing and organization these days, pretty low-quality work. I'm so burned out / brain damaged by the never-ending Trumpism behaviors of USA population. Neil Postman nightmare I'm living in.

I may rework the whole page, maybe someone else rewrite it. But I'm being up front that I find no joy or pleasure documenting the mass psychosis of a population I wish would choose to exit and "Wake The Fuck Up" to Peter Pomerantsev writings of year 2014.

"In a competitive authoritarian system, a leader comes to power democratically and then erodes the system of checks and balances. Typically, the executive fills the civil service and key appointments — including the prosecutor's office and judiciary — with loyalists. He or she then attacks the media, universities and nongovernmental organizations to blunt public criticism and tilt the electoral playing field in the ruling party's favor." - https://www.npr.org/2025/04/22/nx-s1-5340753/trump-democracy-authoritarianism-competive-survey-political-scientist

Ted Cruz is a famous mockery agent, and here AOC goes up against it.

Reddit Front Page posting Title: "Senator or Shill!!!!"

There is no sustained We The People movement to desire "Amusing Ourselves To Death" (Neil Postman 1985), mockery, antics politics, bullshit messaging to be removed. People adore and are addicted to Trumpism Twitter shit-talk. Surkov / Surkovian governing. This is normalization in action. As Rick Roderick said in 1993, how does one describe this when analyzing it? And Roderick in 1993 wasn't dealing with active measures and information warfare (addled population), he was looking at it strictly as a trend-shift in society... not the aftermath of Kremlin information warfare. There is something horrific about USA people, Americans not defending the future for children / elderly / anti-pollution of Earth itself / runaway self-harm that are outcomes of "Operation Matthew 4:19".

Beyond the "defend USA" aspect... American people are so conditioned to reactionary reject / Jedi mind trick of "that is a conspiracy theory", they can't see Alex Jones + Ted Cruz behaviors as a conspiracy theory to amuse the population to death. Compulsive mental exploitation of LOL. Politics turns into total mockery because it was seeded by Russian information warfare, but you defend against it regardless of origins, it is the very "dumbing down" that Carl Sagan warned about in 1995 - regardless if accelerant was used by Putin's meme army since March 2013. People are so entertained mocking Ted Cruz / Donald Trump / JD Vance on and on the list goes - that they won't remove them as the attracted to badness problem that they are. Bad is bad for USA future.

NOTE: I suggest Neil Postman's entire book and Joseph Campbell on "voice and sound of reason thinking", otherwise the tone and amusement to death aspect just seems like petty complaining. This is the heart of system of brain-rot by media systems. Which is why Reddit / Lemmy / Bluesky is the focus: people with demonstrated free time being discussed.
