Studies in AUS found that since the social media ban went into effect teenagers are significantly less educated on news and events and more ignorant on what’s going on in the world. This is the goal. Western govts saw the rise of the information age and are seeking to quash it
It’s funny, motocross at the White House is, like, fine with me. But here’s an example of something that is genuinely unforgivable but that a lot of people seem to have moved right past.
MAGA will be remembered as the most embarrassing political phenomenon ever to stain the history of America, just a gutter movement that elevated the worst, dumbest, most vile among us
Someone else said this, but the guiding light of chuddism in 2026 is the belief that it’s only right and just that they now get to tear the country apart and ruin everything in reaction to 2020. No real ideas beyond a self-consciously articulated “two wrongs make a right”
When the idea of a military parade to showcase American power was raised, President Eisenhower gave a blunt response:
“Absolutely not. We are the pre-eminent power on Earth. For us to try and imitate what the Soviets are doing in Red Square would make us look weak.”
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 “the working class” when anyone notices the circus.
