Sending people to El Salvador is much easier when you make everyone a criminal.

They aren’t even held to account, they’re mostly abused for trying to survive the abuse.

I meant his henchmen are accountable only to Trump, not that Trump was the only one held accountable.

Why would any of Trump’s administration care? None of them have been held accountable for anything, except to Trump.

Advertising exists to manipulate behavior beneficial to clients, out of target groups. It is propaganda and psychological manipulation. The days of simply informing people of products and services is a fairy tale. Maddison Avenue was built off of Nazi Germany’s mass media propaganda strategies.

Trump throws a lot of punches but not many seem to land.

Not even close. That was the propaganda of the dem party trying to get him elected. Half the posts on the net are propaganda from some group or another trying to build a narrative, since that’s apparently the only way people can make sense of the world anymore. And here we are years later repeating the same fucking story because the propaganda affects both the supporters AND detractors.

Well he can’t exactly kill the world 's richest, can he? Its a stronger indictment about the risks of wealth inequality than about the morality of the rich.

No.

Without democracy, capitalism just becomes fascism.

How is this possibly going to be tolerated in business environments?

Narcissistic individuals become paranoid when they can’t find a suitable excuse for their own failures. Because they can’t admit fault, they must always externalize the cause. Something is at fault but it can’t be them as avoiding fault is their most important article of psychological faith.

So, if their narcissistic coping skills are inadequate and can’t construct a believable excuse, given the circumstance, they can’t effectively point the finger. All that’s left is the pathological, egotistical desire to point the finger away from themselves and when they can’t point at anything specific? That manifests as paranoia. As they habitually dismiss their own fault, the only possibility is an unknown force that is attacking them by forcing them to experience being responsible for their own failures.

Trump and his entire administration is filled with these people. Their narcissism also makes them incompetent, so failures will continue to pile up, eventually threatening Trump himself. When Trump inevitably becomes paranoid, as there is nothing left to blame, he will use his authority to start attacking unrelated targets that he blames for his failures, hoping it will prevent the failures. But it won’t. It will accelerate his failures and eventually lead to the end of him. He already blames the media, the democrats, the scientists, the public, foreign nations etc. for the failures of his leadership.

All because his ego is so malformed that he can’t endure feeling responsibility for failures, while ironically seizing a position of immense responsibility, one he will inevitably fail at. His greatest failure will be his inability to endure failure.

But he didn’t say he will…

If we lose perspective that computer systems are machines, we’re fucked. Stop personifying computer systems just because they make you feel things. JFC.

“Many of you feel bad for this lamp. That is because you crazy [sic]. It has no feelings…”

Free this man. The wealthy psychopaths need something to be fearful of as it’s the only emotional trigger that will keep their behavior from genociding the poor.

These people are threats to our actual lives.

I wish the jokes would stop tbh, keep joking and people keep thinking it isn’t that serious. Until they stop, people feel safe doing nothing. People need to stop feeling safe, because they fucking aren’t. I keep watching clips of Jon Stewart and Jon Oliver making the same satirical jokes they always have and it boggles my mind they’re still cracking jokes while America is being torn apart. What’s the benefit in that?

Yes, it is. It’s an actual fascist takeover by the right, of the most powerful nation on earth. The heart of democracy is being stopped. People keep going about their lives like this is another fucking Tuesday.

“I can’t even beat a girl!?”
