They are degenerates.

To the right-wing pundits crowing over Vance's speech: if you are really "less worried" about a dictator-state that's invaded its neighbour, killed tens of thousands of people, reduced cities to rubble & engaged in mass rape and child abduction, than you are about "wokery", then you are truly lost.

Probably they are worse: “Delusional disorder is a chronic psychotic condition characterized by unshakable false beliefs, or delusions, that last for a sustained period of time. Unlike schizophrenia, delusional disorder is less common and doesn't involve other symptoms of psychosis.”

Key to understanding this phenomenon I think. What Musk is doing is absolutely decadent and dissolute.

How’s that not focusing on America going? (Said in jest, I feel the same. Hard to tear yourself away given the seismic and dreadful nature of it all)

gabrielmilland.bsky.social•9 days ago

Not terribly well tbh. As you explain.

I think this a more important comment than it may seem.

There are two very different aspects, one is essential the other damaging:

-studying US actions with the explicit intent of informing immediate and long term adjustments for our benefit/protection
-distrraction as macabre entertainment

Completely agree

I'm trying to focus on thinking about what it means for the world and the UK in particular. The rest I try and push away as "American problem, not interested".

But also how internal US developments might be adopted here (obvs DOGE). Shameless plug

The nauseating &infuriating spectacle of British "patriots“, who are (rightly) proud of Churchill &fighting the Nazis, now minimising the fact that Vance endorsed the far-right party in *Germany*, a party that called 12 years of dictatorship &the Holocaust just "a tiny spec of dirt“ on our history.
