"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

The problem with this bi-polar 1-bit logic thinking, is it skips mass mind. It's like saying someone's choice (man or woman) to trust and believe Donald Trump - an American trusting American Donald Trump is simply an individual choice.

People on Reddit society sometimes talk about the "Reddit Hive Mind' but can't generalize it beyond "Facebook bad", "Fox News bad", and discuss seriously the mechanics of peer pressure and chains of trust in groups of people.

Always blaming the individual is what wealthy people (Rupert Murdoch, Donald Trump, Elon Musk, etc, etc) promote as the cause of anyone who can't pick themselves up by their own individual bootstraps.

And education is not all equal. Reddit society itself avoids Neil Postman understand of Reddit entertainment venue framing all things as entertainment / amusing. An information war has been lost because Reddit society can't break free of mocking individual trees (women in this case) vs. the mob mentality depicted in the comic itself! There is no discussion of Marshall McLuhan (mass man), Neil Postman, Howard Bloom (mass mind) until EVERYONE in society gets on this critical and important same-page regarding MAGA / Fox News audience / White House / Kremlin / Putinism / Surkov governing.

“[It] is not that television is entertaining but that it has made entertainment itself the natural format for the representation of all experience. […] The problem is not that television presents us with entertaining subject matter but that all subject matter is presented as entertaining. (87)” ― Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business, 1985
