    They're trying to insinuate that the accusations on them are of the same legitimacy of those they've been throwing at everyone for decades.

    If their claims are rebuked as baseless, they'll call the claims against them baseless as well. If the claims against them are said to be substantiated, they'll point to their claims and suggest the same. It's the "tails I win, heads you lose" of a political scheme.

    He's flailing so hard he is speed running through all of his tried and true distraction techniques. It's like watching Jordan Peterson on the Surrounded thing on YouTube. He's a one-trick pony, and it becomes obvious when you do it that fast.

    I mean .. even MAGA caught on. Now, are they going to see the pattern, or are they going to go back to the mental gymnastics and become furious about a book in a school library in a state they don't live in? Unfortunately, we could safely wager our life savings on which option they will choose.

    Epstein’s best friend, convicted felon and adjudicated rapist Donald Trump, is a human trafficking child rapist.

    Yes and nothing will happen from it. News outlets squak. The cult laughs. The "libs" get angry. The government does nothing because even if they did this is a presidental action and he has immunity.

    I can't believe how fucked everything is. I'm over it. I just want to survive with my family.

    That movie promotes eugenics, discrimination and ultimately genocide

    I wouldn't use it as a comparison. It is made by a Nazi.

    It's not being serious. I understand intelligence isn't a breeding stat, and smart people having kids isn't going to produce a smart society, if it would only talk about reduced education and cultural trends as the cause of mass idiocy, but that's really not what the film is about. It's not actually advocating for eugenics.

    The movie is a comedy, not a serious attempt to diagnose the world's or America's problems, but the emphasis on ''only stupid people are breeding'' in the beginning of the film is one of the causes of the dystopia, that is eugenics, which is a disproven racist part of academia that had it's part in the nazi movement. So it's a dangerous idea to promote, but that's not what the comedy is about. It's just a gag.

    Well, man, that's because it is clearly presenting people with higher education and very white in appearance and culture as the people who should be breeding, and people with worse education and cultural identification and behavior that's more common with not so white people in the US as those that are doing too much breeding. In reality education level has more to do with your parents zipcode when you were born rather than your DNA, and cultural behavior isn't any part of human DNA or a thing you breed for. Sorry about all your feelings, you seem to have missed that I was defending the film for being a comedy and that these opening bits are jokes not a serious attempt at understanding or addressing problems.

    The people with the infinite family tree were all white and the stupid people in the future were mostly white too. Not want to neglect your statements about zipcode and whereabouts of your upbringing are more important than your DNA in how your IQ is. But the movie isn't making that statement either, IIRC. It's just saying that the people who could give their kids the "best" start in life, because they already would now how to not raise their kids in self-inflicted immaturity, aren't procreating. But I don't think that this is factual.

    I'm assuming this is just a joke but in case is not, PSA on, please get involved in your local community some way if you're not already. It will be important to be involved at local levels if we're to clean up the mess we're in. Thanks for listening to my PSA

    As he said, “please get involved in your local community if you aren’t already.”

    He didn’t say “fix the problem.”

    There were more words than that. But even a local investment should not be my responsibility. I pay taxes and work and have a kid with hobbies. The system was designed to not be in the middle of all the time and monitor it like it's on life support. The system was designed to pay attention every six months to a year and hire someone to represent our interests. Not make it a damn hobby.

    You make it sound like this system was designed with your interests in mind.

    The problem is, the system is broken without direct participation, and most people expect it to just work for them with no more effort than paying most taxes and obeying most laws (and possibly voting).

    That is not how it was intended to work. It was never meant to be a high maintenance endeavor. It was meant to be representatively maintained with the constituents in mind.

    I believe that what they're trying to say is this: keeping a government running requires more than just voting for whoever you think will do a decent job every year or two, because it, ultimately, doesn't matter what Hamilton, Locke, Madison, De Tocqueville and other influential philosophers of politics might have intended, because any system that is only checked once a year is a fragile system, prone to corruption. It requires constant maintenance, bug fixes, security updates, and independent reviews. It requires not only that every part of it has the light of day cast upon it, but that the people at every level actually look and act on what the light of day reveals.

    Whether you or the framers like it or not, the united states is no longer a representative republic. The people being elected are not representing the people. They are representing corporations, private interests and foreign oligarchs who pay them to give them the sweet meats of the treasury and leaving the ovens untended, but continuing to shovel the coals of our taxes into the ovens, because then they can make their own pies. The US government as it stands is committed to deregulation, to abandonment of all duty, and that laissez-faire attitude is by design, not of the framers or the people, but by the design of the corpocratic interests that have captured the government, media, and every other facet of our lives, including even our private actions and thoughts through a paucity of data privacy.

    And I'm saying I don't really give a fuck enough about some dumbass theoretics of imaginary lines and laws. I do what I can. I vote. I don't abuse people. I take of my community by giving back with what little I can. But I'm not going to over extend myself. I did that when I was young and the movement did not succeed. I'm not wasting the rest of my days fighting some dumb shit that is pulled by corporate greed.

    That's fair. I feel like you might benefit from reading Cloud Atlas. It's... apropos. That, and A Canticle for Leibowitz have basically formed my worldview since reading them.

    I think that the philosophy can basically be summed up with the quote "You have to do whatever you can't not do." For us, that's raging against the dying of the light. We can't not. But for some, it's hard enough just trying to survive and be decent to those around us, and that life is not without virtue. By each crime and every kindness, we birth our future.

    Do you know what I do when I go to bed? I sleep. Almost instantly. I don't lay there and stress and worry about what I did. I don't worry about how I'm percieved. I just sleep.

    You can see by his actions that trump is a deeply troubled, deeply insecure, deeply stressed man. And I use the word "man" in the loosest of definitions.

    Everything he's doing, from the CBS cancelations, to blocking the commanders stadium deal, to whatever this ai video bullshit is, it all screams of a man grasping at straws, desprate to change the topic.

    Me? I have no desperation. What'ya guys wanna talk about?

    Same, it bothers my wife how quickly I fall asleep. Its easy when you don't have any worries.

    Had a family member (who's going through some odd mental health stuff) accuse me of forcing them to watch horror movies or I'd think they were weak. I don't even watch that genre. My wife is up worrying : Aren't you concerned about them spreading that rumour? Me: Nope. The people who know me, would know its false. The opinion of people who don't know me is irrelevent. Zzzz...Zzzz
