Clown Population. The clowns inside the White House are only a small fraction of a total society of mock for mock, reactionary mocking, clowns. The entire nation is a “basket case of clowning around” on social machines / HDTV media machines / mockery.

People like to play a game of psychological denial and say ONLY MAGA is the clowns, only the White House is the clowns. It’s the entire population of Untied States of America.

    you’re being a bit of an ass about it

    I’m in severe pain, I am doing my best. You want me to be having a great time that the USA in April 2025, where I am living, is Hell. Hell isn’t a place under the Earth, underground, it is a psychological state of mass dehumanization and hate.

    I don’t enjoy it, I’m suffering under it, and people all around me are suffering, many of them in so much denial all they can do is clown around on social machines and are entirely not fighting back against Russia. Because it is so incredibly painful to use their mind to face the truth. It is not trivial or easy to love all people when you face a constant pummeling from media machines that deliver dehumanizing signals on a constant basis.

    “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” ― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark, year 1995

      Yeah, I really do feel for you, I’m in the same boat and ashamed of our country being taken over by these false patriots and how inhumane they are.

      It’s more than that, it’s manufactured apathy at best and negligent hatred at worse. History has churned through authoritarianism before and it has always been found lacking, but it wasn’t supposed to happen here.

      If you want to talk to a fellow american who is also going through it go ahead and message me! We have to stay strong together

        I’ve traveled the world studying this problem, predicted the Arab Spring in late 2009 and moved to North Africa in early December 2010… then over to Amman Jordan to study the outbreak of the Syria war in March 2011. I spent two years studying these media patterns there in Amman.

        History has churned through authoritarianism before

        The problem is technology. History never had over 8 billion people, never had instant video communications, never had airports everywhere. Past mass dehumanization movements didn’t have the technology. Martin Luther King Jr was big on emphasizing this being the bigger concern in his doctorate studies of World War Two and the problems of education and teaching shortly after the war.

         

        “There is something wrong with our world, something fundamentally and basically wrong. I don’t think we have to look too far to see that. I’m sure that most of you would agree with me in making that assertion. And when we stop to analyze the cause of our world’s ills, many things come to mind. We begin to wonder if it is due to the fact that we don’t know enough. But it can’t be that. Because in terms of accumulated knowledge we know more today than men have known in any period of human history. We have the facts at our disposal. We know more about mathematics, about science, about social science, and philosophy than we’ve ever known in any period of the world’s history. So it can’t be because we don’t know enough. And then we wonder if it is due to the fact that our scientific genius lags behind. That is, if we have not made enough progress scientifically. Well then, it can’t be that. For our scientific progress over the past years has been amazing. Man through his scientific genius has been able to dwarf distance and place time in chains, so that today it’s possible to eat breakfast in New York City and supper in London, England. Back in about 1753 it took a letter three days to go from New York City to Washington, and today you can go from here to China in less time than that. It can’t be because man is stagnant in his scientific progress. Man’s scientific genius has been amazing. I think we have to look much deeper than that if we are to find the real cause of man’s problems and the real cause of the world’s ills today. If we are to really find it I think we will have to look in the hearts and souls of men.”

        “The trouble isn’t so much that we don’t know enough, but it’s as if we aren’t good enough. The trouble isn’t so much that our scientific genius lags behind, but our moral genius lags behind. The great problem facing modern man is that, that the means by which we live have outdistanced the spiritual ends for which we live. So we find ourselves caught in a messed-up world. The problem is with man himself and man’s soul. We haven’t learned how to be just and honest and kind and true and loving. And that is the basis of our problem. The real problem is that through our scientific genius we’ve made of the world a neighborhood, but through our moral and spiritual genius we’ve failed to make of it a brotherhood. And the great danger facing us today is not so much the atomic bomb that was created by physical science. Not so much that atomic bomb that you can put in an aeroplane and drop on the heads of hundreds and thousands of people — as dangerous as that is. But the real danger confronting civilization today is that atomic bomb which lies in the hearts and souls of men, capable of exploding into the vilest of hate and into the most damaging selfishness — that’s the atomic bomb that we’ve got to fear today. Problem is with the men. Within the heart and the souls of men. That is the real basis of our problem.”

        Detroit, Michigan, United States of America. 28 February 1954

        Despite his Georgia home base, MLK Jr was traveling all over the place in 1954, while still finishing up his doctorate degree.

        Martin Luther King Jr. received his Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree in Systematic Theology from Boston University on June 5, 1955. He completed his dissertation, “A Comparison of the Conceptions of God in the Thinking of Paul Tillich and Henry Nelson Wieman”
