Otherwise known as TDS.

As much as we joke about TDS it seems to be an actual mental disorder called something else. New territory for the field of psychology perhaps

I've heard people comparing us to "the mass hysteria and public hallucinations of 1930s Germany" but idk how they can project so hard onto us while missing the true point. Its a generational thing. My parents fought with my grade school because the science teacher wanted to present to the class "an inconvenient truth" by sending me in with stacks of printed articles calling out the documentary. My whole generation knows nothing about what America truly is and that's where to me the mass hallucination is. Improper teaching of history about what should be the greatest success of black Americans holding the constitution and the founding principles to the elite and saying "Am I not created equally?"

The lack of teaching around the antebellum period and the importance of the political parties at the time is just lost to those who actually care to do independent research. My redpill on this is telling people to google the term "carpetbagger" and see that its tied almost exclusively to northern republicans going to the south to industrialize. I remember being taught that term as a slur against them as greedy people looking to take advantage of the south when it was created by the south because they missed their system of cheap forced labor to create stuff.

Similarly the great depression and the forgotten depression of the 1920s, the 2 largest lessons we should have learned from economic history. The worst depression was only so great because FDR extended it (is my impression) by massive government spending and now all my finance classes discuss how gov spending has a multiplicative affect on monetary policy. Then there's the fastest recovering depression possibly ever because Coolidge refused to bail anything out and let things go bust. The result? its called the forgotten depression for a reason.

I didn't know to the extent of that but I had already heard of "fdr's magic gold numbers" where he would just arbitrarily tell I think his treasury secretary to set the price of gold to whatever he wanted for the day because he like the specific numbers.

So basically fdr saved the fed by taking over the gold industry and getting us off the gold standard. Gotcha.

The idea was to create monetary inflation (printing money to make sure the money devaluate enought to cause the value of money to decrease) the idea is that it create a subsistance economy where people can't save to collectivelly influence the economy, fed allowed it to happen.

The very rich people can do it (save money), because they own companies, if the dollar is worth 1 value and a product is sold to 100 dollars and so 100 values, if the price of dollar is suddenly 0.5 values, they just need to start to sell it by 200 dollars, to get the same 100 value as before. If they have stocks at the stock market they can fix the price according to new value of dollar.

The thing is that buying gold allow you to save, by keeping the gold (that can't be printed) and changing the price to correct by monetary inflation to make sure you dont lose value while selling it. By removing people gold you make sure they can't use gold to do that.

there's some truth to the 1930's germany comparison, the mask enforcement is reminiscent of the nazi party's red armbands and antifa and BLM draw a lot of parallels to the brown shirts. or maybe the KKK except instead of anti-black people its now just anti-american. idk. this shit has gone on for far too long and people need to hang for the damage they've done.

As HighSpeedRedPill already noted, this is a false comparison. I get where you're coming from, but you've got it backwards. After increasing Marxist and then Bolshevik agitation (see the German revolution of 1919, for a start), Germans finally organized and fought back.

Make no mistake: we'll never get the same opportunity, because the mechanisms are already fully in place for total governmental control, albeit a global banker-controller neofeudalism rather than the anarchonistic pure Marxism the ideological pure Antifa membership thinks they want (not knowing, as we have noted here so many times, that they would be the first explicitly killed in their desired new state). We won't see the paradigm of increasing Red agitation against a weak state, since our bureaucratic state in effect pays Antifa's bills and legally protects them, enabling them through action and by design, not via inaction and ineptitude a la Weimar.

While Antifa wants reeducation camps (and classical Marxist mass executions), the neofeudalists want their new vision of a technologically-enabled hellscape of modern slavery, the one we've already caught onto when we mock the tenets of Eat The Bugs, Live In The Pod, Social Credit Score, Own Nothing And Like It, Consume Product, Watch Netflix, etc. In their world you'll do so unarmed, paying 80% taxes to elites that dine on $500/plate meals every day, while your culture is brought down around your head by millions of immigrants (which you'll pay for).

I really hate this false comparison. Antifa today is very similar to the 30s' Antifa, just with added soylent. Brownshirts and Freikorps fought against them. The former (SA) was strictly hierarchical, the latter loosely so. Today we have no real counterpart to those groups. The closest in the US are the Proud Boys, but they aren't using violence to advance their political ends.

Well, they sure as hell don't talk about Black Wall Street - or else they'd have to explain why Democrats burned it to the ground because a black man tripped and stumbled next to a white girl.

Exactly, I don't even think I've heard the words "underground railroad" since gradeschool about how there was an underground system set up by people risking their lives to help smuggle slaves out of the south. That damn white privilege.... Motherfuckers... White people have been fighting for equality more than anyone else in the world.

If it is brought up, you'll immediately be descended upon by the mUh PaRtY sWiTcH brigade.

Not merely tripped and stumbled. The two had a relationship. It was odd that they were both there on a holiday. He was seen running out of the building.

People assumed the worst. It got totally out of hand ...

Thanks for sharing RAS. Keep up the search for truth. It will set you free.

I’ve had conversations with people who just randomly insert something nasty about Trump, completely irrelevant to the conversation. Like Tourette’s. It’s seriously weird.

I have a long term client who's done that for years, calling me incessantly. I'm like "just go away."

I had somebody who would do this about religion. She was a hardcore atheist, and would always find a way to make a jab at religion even when the conversation had nothing to do with it. It was so annoying man, like listening to a redditor in real time.

They call it Trump Anxiety Disorder.

grndmrshlgando 17 points ago +17 / -0

what are these people going to do in 4 years when trump finishes his 2nd term, and we have some other guys up for election? these people are ready to kill themselves over some guy who has done nothing but good things for our country, and nobody even cared about 4 years ago.

meanwhile they are completely ignoring the democrat candidate (if you can call him that) is an active, real national security threat who is actually, provably working for china and is admitting he is cheating. I mean it gets to a point where some of these people will never accept the truth and will die for the people that want to destroy them to begin with.

They'll do whatever the conglomerate of media/hollywood/etc signals that they should do. That's why they're freaking out btw. They just look to certain other prominent figures in their "tribe" for cues on how to react, and the media loses their minds about Trump, so that's what they do.

Remember when Trump was having COVID briefings every day, and his approval kept going up? That's because people were actually listening to him, and the media can't make stuff up about what he said or overreact to it when people are hearing it themselves.

Their minds are deranged by the media.

I asked a lefty this, and their honest answer: They haven't thought about life after Trump, or even what Trump will do once he leaves office (in 2024, but they hadn't thought about 2020 either, even tho that was the goal??). They literally just think he'll vanish into thin air, and everything will go back to the way it was. I've been following politics for my entire life, and I've never seen anything like it.

I don't expect them to come around that's for sure. They will need to awaken or be awoken, or live in a constant state of reeeeeee.

it is a form of narcissism and isolation. hillary literally looked at her audience once and said 'here is how you treat republicans' and started barking like a dog. they got that marching order and never looked back.

basically they refuse to even talk about anything. you can not convince them otherwise to do so. only when their brain goes 'ker chunk that does not make any sense' is there an opportunity to step in and show them how to think for themselves. or they will quad down on it and hide it like nothing ever happened.

Yeah, this. Reading the blurb in the image made me think it was some sort of NPD / sociopathy / psychopathy where the individual was being forced to confront the real world for the first time (hence the rumination that things don't quite actually match their mental model).

TDS is a subset of it for sure.

It must be something to do with externalizing your own failures. You think you're the most morally elite person, yet others don't always agree with you 100%. So instead of just accepting it and changing, they need something to blame other than themselves. And DRUMPF is the person other for them. Blame and responsibility shifting incarnate.
