"The Joke is On"

The Joke is on US. The Joke is US. The Joke of the world is the USA.

We had 4 years under Joe Biden to teach cult deprogramming. Instead, we shared more kitten images (which is not a real kitten, but an image) and mocked MAGA instead of rescuing MAGA from message cults. Anti-MAGA is now a cult too in 2024 and year 2025!

It started with the Putin Media Invasion in March 2013 of the World Wide Web information systems / social machine systems. 5,000 cult patterns were deployed of anti-reality.

The "Donald Trump 1D checkers joke" is that Vlad Putin and Vlad Surkov were playing 32D Chess, and people mocking Donald Trump checkers was the joke. Now we are DFW's nightmare realized on the world stage. All the world being that WWW stage. Die By Absurd Surreal Comedy, We The People Were Warned

NOTE: like most my writing and organization these days, pretty low-quality work. I'm so burned out / brain damaged by the never-ending Trumpism behaviors of USA population. Neil Postman nightmare I'm living in.

I may rework the whole page, maybe someone else rewrite it. But I'm being up front that I find no joy or pleasure documenting the mass psychosis of a population I wish would choose to exit and "Wake The Fuck Up" to Peter Pomerantsev writings of year 2014.

"In a competitive authoritarian system, a leader comes to power democratically and then erodes the system of checks and balances. Typically, the executive fills the civil service and key appointments — including the prosecutor's office and judiciary — with loyalists. He or she then attacks the media, universities and nongovernmental organizations to blunt public criticism and tilt the electoral playing field in the ruling party's favor." - https://www.npr.org/2025/04/22/nx-s1-5340753/trump-democracy-authoritarianism-competive-survey-political-scientist

Front Page of Reddit

https://old.reddit.com/r/50501/comments/1kpouf8/this_is_a_death_policy/

Framing it as a "they" issue. Instead of a technology issue of mass dehumanization and self-harm. People are so addicted to Internet memes and messages, they are self-harming. This is a suicide nation.

Making this "we hate MAGA", hate will teach them, has been the Reddit and Bluesky 2024 and 2025 messaging. This needs to be BIGGER, inclusive of Ukraine, inclusive of the 51st state hate of Canada, inclusive of Palestine. People need to declare hate and anti-science is bad.

constantly framing this as Americans vs Americans since 2013 instead of goodness vs. badness. The problem here is hate, doesn't matter WHO starts the hate, it has been going on before all our birth. They are harming THEIR OWN SELF. As Carl Sagan predicted about anti-science thinking in 1995. As Neil Postman predicted Reddit would cause in 1985.

::::: “Science is more than a body of knowledge; it is a way of thinking. I have a foreboding (1995) of an America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time—when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what’s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness. The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30-second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance. As I write, the number-one videocassette rental in America is the movie Dumb and Dumber. “Beavis and Butthead” remain popular (and influential) with young TV viewers. The plain lesson is that study and learning—not just of science, but of anything—are avoidable, even undesirable.”* ― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark, 1995 ::::

 

We have the opportunity to blame Cambridge Analytica and Russia, but instead, watching Americans self-harm and self-destruct the USA at the hands of "us vs. them" hate harder values. A competition to hate harder is a race to the bottom. That's the Middle East religions in their inverted clergy teaching, that heaven is a reward after death if you force others to believe your science fiction. That's what Surkov / Surkoviain information warfare is built upon, Surkov monomyth patterns are Levant monomyth based.
