These kind of videos seem like just games — making fun of MAGA people — but the level of brainwashing and delusion of these MAGA zealots is truly disturbing and dangerous. This is a very serious problem for the state of American politics, and really even world politics. This is the real damage that Trump and the right-wing media has done over the last 6 years. They have completely deranged and corrupted the epistemtic foundations of millions of people. These people are totally deluded, aggressively ignorant, completely sure of themselves, and armed. This is basically American Al-Qaeda.
This is about as bad as self-deception gets. And the problem is that once such a level of self-deception takes hold of the human mind, it's almost impossible to undo. Self-deception of this caliber tends to be life-long. These people have been infected with mind-herpes.
We as a society are not taking this problem seriously enough. The allowance and toleration of this kind of toxic ideology is America's greatest weakness. If America collapses, it will not be from an external enemy, it will be from the spread of ideologies like this. That this issue is not recognized by a large percentage of the citizenry is profoundly problematic and sick. This is reaching Nazi-Germany and Fascist-Japan levels of brainwashing. The whole world should be worried about this. Anyone who supports the right-wing in America at this point is enabling the spread of this mind-herpes and history will hold you in disgrace for your lack of common sense, your selfishness, and your silence. Every citizen needs to condemn this ideology and also, crucially, to condemn its enablers and promoters — which implicates much of right-wing media and their hosts: FoxNews, Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingram, Jeanine Pirro, Fox & Friends, OANN, Steven Crowder, Ben Shapiro, Tim Pool, Matt Walsh, Charlie Kirk, Alex Jones, Glenn Beck, Dennis Prager, Mike Lindell, Candice Owens, Dan Bongino, Dave Ruben, Breitbart.com, Turning Points USA, Daily Wire, The Blaze, PragerU, right-wing talk radio, etc. All together these people and groups create an ecosystem of mind-herpes.
50 years from now people will not believe this shit was real.
When people criticize me for being political, or partisan, or left-wing...
NO!
I have been very tame thus far.
This level of human stupidity leaves one at a loss for appropriate words.
Make no mistake. There is no false equivalence.
The American right-wing...
Is criminally, morbidly STUPID!
And nothing about this statement is partisan or biased.
If you can't understand this. Nothing I say will EVER help you. SO STOP LISTENING!
If you cannot get this, you will never Awaken.
"We cannot have someone in the Oval Office who doesn’t understand the meaning of the word 'confidential' or 'classified'."
-- Donald Trump, 2016
The fascinating tail of how the world's first darknet marketplace got taken down:
Stay safe out there. Never use Bitcoin to make darknet purchases. Bitcoin is too trackable now.
P.S. This YT channel, NewsThink, has many other well-produced short documentaries. Check it out.
The surest way to piss off a human is to invalidate their suffering.
Imagine telling someone that their rape is imaginary.
Imagine telling someone that their trauma is imaginary.
Imagine telling a parent that the death of their child is imaginary.
Imagine telling an African-American that slavery is imaginary.
Oh the horror, Leo!
But please, stop playing stupid.
As upsetting as that may be, it does not change the fact that those things are imaginary.
"But Leo! How dare you tell me that my suffering is just some game I play!"
Yeah, well... you play some very serious games. But just because a statement pisses you off does not make it untrue. Just because something hurts like a bitch does not make it true. And just because you're in a nightmare does not make it real. This isn't bad news, this is actually a doorway to salvation.
All suffering is imaginary. This is completely unacceptable to the finite self. Because the finite self's modus operandi is the avoidance of suffering. Which means it has to take suffering as real. To invalidate the self's suffering is to invalidate the self's material reality. The realness of suffering is baked into the very core of how self constructs reality. This is not merely a psychological thing, it's a metaphysical thing.
The point of spirituality is that at high enough levels of consciousness it allows you to see through the illusion of suffering and trauma. This is salvation. But don't go trying to tell a human that her suffering is imaginary. That will only make humans hate you. Because the finite self is incapable of loving Truth. If you could love Truth, you wouldn't suffer in the first place. The finite self would rather live in a self-constructed hell than surrender itself to Truth.
Notice this about yourself: you are a suffering and drama addict, and you refuse to give it up because it is completely intertwined with your definitions of reality. It is this way because suffering keeps you alive. If you didn't care about suffering, you would not survive as a finite human self for very long.
Suffering is the greatest illusion. All God has to do to fool someone into believing that something is real is make it extremely painful. Then 99.9999% of people will never question it.
Humans are too biased and immature to accept this. They want their suffering validated. They want their illusions validated. This is the human condition. Humans are puppets pulled by emotional strings and they cry, kick, and scream like children at the suggestion of cutting those strings.
Waking up requires growing up.
Isn't it amazing how the greatest news you could possibly be told — that all your suffering and trauma is imaginary — is received by most humans as something horrible and insulting?
Truth is way more serious than people are ready to handle, so usually its best to keep it to yourself. When someone comes crying to you about their misery, you give them comfort, not Truth. An important lesson in your spiritual journey will be learning to meet people where they're at, not where you're at. I've made this mistake many times.
