Ukrainians, a bit more realism. Trump is just going to allow Putin to attack again. https://edition.cnn.com/2025/03/12/world/video/kyiv-ukrainians-us-ceasefire-proposal-bts-digvid 1. "Bellum Interruptum" – Latin for "interrupted war," which could imply a ceasefire that is merely a pause before inevitable hostilities resume.* 2. "Dolos Pax" – Latin for "deceptive peace" or "fraudulent peace," implying an agreement made in bad faith. 3. "Pyrrhic Peace" – Inspired by Pyrrhus of Epirus, this would suggest a peace that is ultimately futile, as it only leads to further destruction. 4. "Phony Peace" – A modern equivalent of Sitzkrieg (the "Phoney War" of WWII), which describes a lull in fighting that is not a true peace. In ancient Greek: "Δόλια Ειρήνη" (Dolia Eirēnē) – "Treachorous Peace" "Εκεχειρία Προσωρινή" (Ekecheiria Proskairi) – "Temporary Truce," with the implication of future war. Personally I would used the saying "Bell-end Interruptum" to describe Trump's 'peace'.
Time and time again, the same pattern, but sheeple continue to trot off to church on Sundays so they can go to heaven when their time is up. Church is like an insurance policy, pay now to get ripped off now.
The link between narcissism and predatory behavior is particularly insidious because it impossible for the collective American psyche to grasp it. While not all narcissists are pedophiles, all pedophiles are narcissists, because at the core of both is an extreme entitlement, a lack of empathy, and an inability to see others as anything but tools for their own gratification. Cults are infested with them, No matter how many times the same story plays out, Trump has fellow narcissists in his orbit, there’s always a set of followers willing to excuse, overlook, or outright deny reality. At some point, you have to ask: is it blindness, or is it willful complicity?
Although the bible plays on empathy (more like sympathy) about the jesus on the cross tear jerker, it's cancelled out by "my Father is gonna chuck you lot of hethen cretins into hell, so bring it on". So when it comes to church sex, the feeling is, "...well if my Father is gonna throw your pretty little ass into hell, let me fuck it first".
What gives me a little cheer is the not-fascists (avoiding use of the usual term) across the Western world are beginning to take the gloves off. If non-fascist, anti-narcissist, members of the forum want to counter the buy1s and such here and in the wider world, they need tools to break energy vampire argument loops and expose the manipulation. Don’t Chase the Deflections, Instead of getting pulled into side arguments, force the discussion back to the main point. Example: "You still haven’t addressed my original question, you lose.". “Fascinating. Now, back to my original question. Try again.” Spot and Call Out the Loops, If they keep circling back to the same talking points, label it, "That’s the third time you’ve repeated that. Do you have anything new to add or do you lose?" “Stuck on repeat again? Have you tried turning your argument off and on?” Use Strategic Silence, Sometimes, ignoring the bait deprives them of the reaction they need to keep spinning the loop. Perhaps just post "JFC" and no more. “Oh no! Anyway…” Expose the Bubble, Ask questions that force them to acknowledge they never engage with counter-evidence. Example: "What’s the strongest argument you’ve seen against your position? Can you summarize it fairly? Or just fuck off?". Force Real-World Stakes, Get them to state real-world outcomes of their views. Example: "If we did things your way, what would happen? Can you point to a place where this has worked... Ever?" If they respond with “But but whatabout—” just reply “You lost.” All while understanding that team Trump will NEVER argue in good faith, do not give a shit about truth. They argue to argue only.
