  1. That meme perfectly describes you.

    Oh, so you’re just incapable of admitting when you’re completely and undeniably wrong, huh? Classic narcissistic behavior—surprise, surprise.

    You’re out here making baseless claims with absolutely zero evidence to back them up, just parroting whatever garbage propaganda you’ve been fed. It’s pathetic, really. Do you even think for yourself, or do you just blindly swallow whatever fits your little narrative? Get a grip.

    I’ve always made it a principle to own my mistakes. It's the best path to not making many. If you were correct, I'd admit it; you are not.

    Over the years, I’ve acknowledged when I was wrong, even revisiting old discussions to correct myself without any prompting. This upbringing instilled in me the value of accountability, and as a result, I’ve become adept at minimizing errors. I don’t mind being wrong, it’s an opportunity to learn something new, even if it’s a rare occurrence now as an adult.

    As for Elon and Trump, they faced a setback and criticism because there are still some Republicans who resist fully embracing fascism. Or perhaps they are simply unwilling to operate under the influence of Elon and Trump.

    I may be smarter, and I believe I strive to be a better human being overall than you but I recognize that much of my character stems from the advantages of being raised well. I can’t claim full credit for the sense of integrity my parents and family instilled in me, it’s a testament to the values they worked hard to pass down.

    A narcissist has a very different operating system to me. I'm not compensating for a distant mother and an often times cruel, sociopath dad like Trump. Elon didn't exactly get raised by the Waltons or the Ingalls either.

    No angry victim here being driven by demons etc.into a weird caricature for whom there is never enough.

  4. You are clearly incapable or unwilling to have an honest conversation.

    Since Trumpers have embraced fascism, something I was born and bred to loathe, I'll just tell it like it is. I am better than you.

    You lost your rights to be an equal when you embraced strong-man leadership.

    Choosing strong-man leadership forfeits your claim to equality, as it abandons the principles of mutual respect and democracy that underpin it. I won't pretend otherwise.

    Bit like this, to stretch the whole pigeon analogy.

    An important speech, abet tears in rain perhaps. History says that fascism gets a time in control past a certain point.

    America will be an outright "grey zone" democracy he believes where the wealthy people who control the media and economy fold into the regeim. The smaller people are intimidated into silence.

    Except, the Singularity is upon us. That just fucks historical cycles for the humans.

    "The old forms and forums still exist, but their power seeps away, re-emerging where we can no longer reach it"
    What I mean is that, under the onslaught of the placeless, transnational capital that McDonald’s exemplifies, democracy as a living system withers and dies. The old forms and forums still exist – parliaments and congresses remain standing – but the power they once contained seeps away, re-emerging where we can no longer reach it.

    Continues...

    No country with a McDonald’s can remain a democracy

    As predicted, Elonigarch is now putting Ultra-MAGA in it's place over visas.

    Musk Vs Bannon.

    Facism is pulling all power into the Executive branch
    We were this close to Fascism, Trump saved us from that
    The Democrats plan was to pack the Supreme court
    Add new states and remove the filibuster from the senate
    Destroy Federalism and nationalize all the functions of the State ( Health, education, voting, transportation)
