Yep. Whether it's the Obamas advocating fully inflated car tires or healthy meals for children, or pedo Trump pulling insurrections, using hunger as a weapon and arresting/deporting citizens without due process, American politicians are pretty scandalous.

The wolf you feed dude, the wolf you feed.

You know how domesticated animals come to exhibit specific traits? We got them too. Human beings have domesticated themselves.
Of course, it's shit all the way down if you want it to be, but, look at the height of what we have achieved. We did that shit. I dont think we're done either. You want to judge the core of what we are by our worst of history? Or our best.

Remember. We come from nothing.
Our civilization was built before the modern information era of Rush Limbaugh on talk radio, before Fox News on 24/7 cable, and before social media allowed diseases of the mind to spread, fester, and rot. There is a great danger befalling us, originating from human nature but dialed to 11 from modern tech and our use of it with reckless abandon. In this drowning of information, the signal to noise ratio is lost. Truth, decency, reality. It is all lost in the mayhem that follows. The incessant and unending assault of misinformation, or aggravating information. The phone beeps and the primitive parts of our brains respond, civilization takes another step towards extinction.

Need I remind you, the brain does not distinguish from encountering information it opposes... and real physical threat / assault. Yet there it is. Beep beep beep. All day long. All night too, if you let it. Without end, without rest. Without a peaceful thought remaining. Our people drown themselves in misery and sorrow. Though they may not even know it. They feel it. But they cannot put down the source of it. So the wound on their psyche continues to gnaw until becoming a Nazi and violently overthrowing an election becomes just another day for them. Join ICE, why not? Beep beep beep. Eating cats and dogs. Brimstone and fire. The "other" must be destroyed! So they join a movement and do just that. Laws are abandoned, wars are started. Genocide begins again. It always does.

We cannot handle modern information, as a species. By itself, it is the unmaking of a civilization.
Twitter has gone dark and the final days are upon us.*

Sure sure. But. At a point in time Oxygen was actually toxic to life, killed it off in terms of mass extinctions. Until the Great Oxygenation Event.

Point being, as a life form, we have overcome and adapted to SO MUCH shit that should just have straight up stopped us in our tracks. From algae to cosmic events to pests and more. We WILL tame the information age too. All it literally takes is for you and me to never give up.

If I have to die, I will do so screaming.

The whistle blower is completely to blame for Kash abusing his privileges because he made Kash look bad. This is the same mindset for why Trump's supporters get pissed off at his critics. They adore him for sticking it to the deep state, the establishment, the libs, the jews, the LGBTQ, the ANTIFA that they cannot say exactly who they are, the liberal media, the judges, federal attorneys and juries of his peers that convicted the Jan.6 insurrectionists, the illegal immigrants, anybody that makes Trump look bad (except Trump himself of course), anybody that talks stink about personal friends of Trump's like Vlad Putin, Adolf Hitler, Xi Jinping, Vic Orban, Kim Jong Un, Jeff Epstein, Charlie Kirk, Changpeng Zhao...These are their wishes that Trump is making good on and why they love and cherish him and why they don't mind Trump taking away their gov't handouts, their jobs and their freedoms.

Sure, it's insanity defined but when this is the new normal that Trump and his minions are shoving down everyone's throats, it ain't exactly insanity anymore.
