This is the third post i made today related to the wedding protests. I hope you people enjoy. I'm sharing these because many of the protesters behind it are getting arrested.

    I'm glad you are. I love the "No Kings" slogan and that other countries are taking it up. I wish they would call the next protest in America "No Kings II, then whatever they were going to call it here." I guess we could could call it unofficially, "No Kings II."

    From the outside looking in, the pageantry of it all is probably why it sticks. You also have someone to talk about. We get the drama of US citizens and immigrants being sent to concentration camps or prisons in other countries.

    Italy has a fascist government, and the council of Venice is pro Bezos, claiming that somehow he has more right to rent Venice than its citizens have to live in it.

    I hope knowing that people all over the world viscerally hate him damages his calm on an ongoing basis.

    It is just a reinforcement for us. He has probably never had more than the ever-elusive 'fleeting high'. He's in a skinner box, where he has already maxed out the ill effects of one of our more powerful tools (money). He has to go to ever further extents to quiet the demons that most of us had to cope with since adolescence.

    To drive the point home, he'll never be able to make any new authentic connections in his life (if he ever could in the past). While it is a bit copium, and I am as frothy in the mouth about his antics as any well-meaning individual, I do find it one of the constant, if smallest, wins.

    Just as tonedeaf as them pretending "we're just like you" when COVID happened and they were forced to stay in their mansions as everyone struggled.

    Honestly, that doesn't strike me as a ton of money for his wedding. He must not care too much for this wife.

    It's like Italy doesn't even have their own politics anymore, it's only America. Not a single politician in Italy. No Mafia, no fascists, Mussolini didn't have a daughter, nothing. Absolutely nothing that they could be distracted from. Just America.
