The answer to “why are they doing this?!” is always “for multiple reasons ranging from nakedly stupid to calculatedly evil in service of a feckless coalition of the greedy and malicious.” The endless search for a unified psyche here is such a self-inflicted DDOS 🫠

Whether or not the current fascists are smart enough to really get it,
this is an intentional mechanism of fascism.
It's a trick.
Yes we need to stop falling for it, but we shouldn't be shocked that it kinda... works.
I mean, it fits perfectly.
Absurdism solves everything, everywhere, all the time.
People need to be more concerned with how to stop them
than with why they do it.
Sure, "Why" can be a clue that can help with the How,
but that's only so helpful & only with the right crowd.
Maybe we do need to work that granularly? 🤔
Food for thought.

Okay, I really do like that song, nevertheless my Simpsons reference stands! The part about understanding something in solidarity, not so much the grifting! That's the other guys!
They Distribute their Denial of (Social) Services
so that EVERYONE is damaged.
The mind-fuck is when we start believing that they're sane. They're not.
But we can also counter-mind-fuck their followers, which is an admirable goal.
This is the white christian patriarchy backlash harnessed by wanna-be unfettered oligarchs.
They are all of those things, and that is why. We can stop looking for reasons.
vlad.
period.

The ones missing faces, over by the fat leopards, especially.
But *we* need a unified psyche to win.
They divide us, pushing the weak-minded away
from Prog. D Politics into the centrists' siren song
of 'Republicanism with the occasional freedom thrown in.'

It’s working well.
Case in point, Hungary and Israel are now the latest tag team to spawn from this cult.
Divide &conquer works both ways…
Get them infighting. Well placed, intelligent disinfo can set 1 faction upon another. Eg turn them vs Musk. Easiest low hanging fruit. Remove his $$, connections &influence. Move on to billionaires, up thru to MAGAs vs Project2025 as top split.👍
U stay united!😊
2.) I think I'm gonna steal "self-inflicted DDOS" as the best tech turn of phrase since PEBCAK and "Clue-by-four"
Different story for everyone around him (&who is *REALLY* running the gov’t)… but for him, it’s most accurate.

people need to stop trying to find logic in a soup of hate
