"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

Reddit front page "Clever Comebacks" "Meh. 86 em all."

Tactical Cleverness spelled out in 1940 by Charlie Chaplin's speech in "The Great Dictator", 1951...

"instead of deserting the leaders who had lied to them, they would protest that they had known all along that the statement was a lie and would admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness.” ― Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism, 1951

"instead of deserting the leaders" - spend since year 2013 endlessly being amused, entertained, LOL, LMFAO, mockery, mocking the leaders. Cleverness win posts on front page of Reddit for a decade. Surkovian / Surkov governing never confronted as a crisis, because amusement entertainment at trickle-down meme content.

There is a morality failure on Reddit community, severe need for both media ecology and remedial morality. Reddit community: "would admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness” described in 1951. Admire the social media content creators "for their superior tactical cleverness" over and over every hour of every day since year 2013. Entertained, admired at the "Clever Comebacks" simulacra.

"for their superior tactical cleverness" with MORALITY, you admire a leader for goodness. For making choices that are good, not their cleverness in manipulating MAGA and manipulating social media users into admiring badness / bad things. "would admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness” described in 1951 is the Reddit community problem.

Another one (Front Page of Reddit) on the same subject.

Reddit simulacra of non-identity social media users (Reddit users) mocking and insulting the lords of society who use their REAL NAME and identity on social media. Media platform mocking other media platform simulacra going on too. They aren't analyzing and seeing the forest for the trees of the entire nation being in a total mockery / Surkov Surkovian information warfare patterns against We The People / Body Politic, but instead mocking trees in a constant meme stream of total mockery on every media platform.

"Aged like Milk" is a mockery chamber framing too. Entertainment amusement mill. Amusement washing. The joke is on We The People, not the leaders, the joke is on We The People not fighting back against Russia since the March 2013 Internet Research Agency launch of Cambridge Analytica payloads of simulacra.
