See the propaganda move?
Make the image emotionally overwhelming, then pretend the only possible objection is hatred of America.
Nobody has to pretend to be mad at a flyover.
It looks cool.
That is not the critique.
The critique is that cool imagery is being used to launder the structure underneath it.
The White House becomes the set.
The military supplies the emotional force.
UFC supplies the combat aesthetic.
Paramount+ gets the paid stream.
Trump-world and politically connected corporations get the branding halo.
And then accounts like this say: if you notice the machinery, you must hate America.
No.
I like the flyover.
I dislike fake patriotism that turns the country into ad inventory.
This is Don Draper selling belonging after tribal sorting so the powerful concentrate more power.
Working-class people are not props.
Marines are not props.
National monuments are not props.
The issue is billionaires turning the White House into branded regime content, then hiding behind โthe working classโ when anyone notices the circus.
So I'm aromantic, right?
Lots of people assume that means I'm romance-repulsed.
Not so, dear nerd.
I actually adore romance. I get the lil leg kickies when I see people being cute with each other. Fictional or otherwise.
I don't get it, I don't feel it, but I LOVE seeing it.
My brain just goes "I don't get it, but that just means I wanna see MORE!"

fru: "so they get away with it."

oog: "you get stronger. not same thing. but better thing."

I donโt have hearing loss. I have high ping.
Me: "What?"
Friend: "I said โ"
Me: "โYeah, pizza sounds great."
My ears captured the audio instantly, but my brain needed 3-5 business seconds to unzip the file.
