This is a part of the coordinated attack on the United States.

  It's honestly impressive how efficiently and smoothly things are regressing.

    Total apathy.

    It is easier to destroy than to create.

      Also, the decadence of the American people is contributing a lot. Tough to find time to care when the average person is spending 2-4 hours staring at 10-30 second bursts of entertainment. It’s depressing…

        That "decadence" isn't the cause of the problems, but a symptom.

        Not really a uniquely American thing. Not even a uniquely Western, nor uniquely "first world" activity.

  I did not use to believe this but every passing day it seems like there’s more and more evidence that the Trump admin is acting with intention and malice to hurt the US

    There's a reason why so many activists call what conservatives around the world are doing "autogenocide." None of what the US regime is doing seems to make much sense, apart from being designed to quite literally kill people in some way

      Right wing leaders seem to gravitate towards becoming death cults.

    Its probably somewhat having to do with being a narcissist and getting "payback" for 2020, but ironically, being a conservative means you simply don't have the mental capacity for any real coordination. Because to be a good planner you have to have a good grip on reality, which conservatives certainly do not. If you are a conservative who is reading this, give me any conservative viewpoint and Ill show you that it either doesn't make sense in reality, or is already supported by Democrats.

      This is not only off-topic but completely ridiculous. Being anti-Trump doesn’t mean you should hold bigoted opinions.
      • ActorNightly 1y ago
        Its not a bigoted opinion, its based on reality. Im not saying my side is better. Im simply making the claim that conservative views are not representative of how the real world works, and I can demonstrate it real time. You can flag my comment if you want, but Im past the point of caring about optics when it comes to conservatives as they are functionally destroying my country.

  Actually the scariest part is, its probably not even coordinated, at least in any traditional meaning of the word. The left believes the aggressors are the Trump administration. The right believes its the left and the Biden admin. The real aggressor is the division itself; upstream from both these administrations. Those sad quirks of human nature, tribalism and division, which the algorithms picked up on, which feeds back into content creators biasing toward serving those algorithmic niches, which feeds the cycle further. Russia probably disinfo'd a bit in there, but honestly, they don't even need to; human nature does it itself. Social media and AI-accelerated tribal bubble reinforcement is going to destroy the world. If you work in social media: Your work is destroying the world. You need to stop. The only way to save modern society is to turn off social media.
