Time to Raise Hell Y'all: June 14th is NO KINGS Day
How to Counter "Hypernormalization" of the Criminal Assault on American Society 🌟
As we wrestle with the existential threat looming over us, the relentless abuse & gaslighting by the most moronic & malicious a-holes stealing our future & crushing our cultures, it is good to take a breather & contemplate how we are expected to COPE.
The default mode for humanity in any catastrophe is survival & business as usual, eking out opportunities for comfort & enjoyment. Which is fine, until violence, chemical spray & explosions are invading your community. Normalization is the status quo that media, entertainment, institutions, corporations gravitate to, including such spectacles as social media billionaires paying off the criminal tyrant & attending his coronation.
The Guardian has an explainer for Americans facing this existential dread & adapting to our cultural carpet being yanked from under us & set on fire: “hypernormalization” as experienced in Russia, Belarus, Hungary, Turkey.
“What you are feeling is the disconnect between seeing that systems are failing, that things aren’t working … and yet the institutions and the people in power just are, like, ignoring it and pretending everything is going to go on the way that it has.”
How to snap ourselves out of acquiesecence? Maybe reminding ourselves & everybody who will listen, every day: “This is far from normal! This is a five-alarm fire for the entire world.”
But yeah, you still have to make the oatmeal, clean the windows, water the garden. Keep yourself alive. Prepare for the worst. We are now negotiating a war zone, surrounded by a cult of cruelty & corruption, robbing our heritage & history. Resist & organize. Persistance is survival.
“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact & fiction (i.e., the reality of experience) & the distinction between true & false (i.e., the standards of thought) no longer exist.”
~ Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism
“Donald Trump wants tanks in the streets and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington — it rises up everywhere else.
“From city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks, we’re taking action to reject authoritarianism and show the world what democracy actually looks like: people, united, refusing to be ruled.
“This is bigger than politics. They’ve defied our courts, deported citizens, disappeared people off the streets, attacked our civil rights, slashed essential services, and handed billions to their allies. Enough is enough.”

Trump is sealing his fate as the most despised, corrupt, rejected "head of state" in 21st century history. Un-welcome in most of America & the rest of the world, has to hide behind security screens & propaganda schemes. Will end the same way these fascist psychopaths always end, hopefully sooner rather than after mass suffering & slaughter.
It’s becoming quite clear the entire “DOGE” Musk & Trump-maga conspiracy is an enemy incursion, subversion, outright war on America & our infrastucture, security, economy, welfare. From undermining & stealing elections to hacking into our most secure systems, Putin & Kremlin have compromised our government, from White House to Congress to Supreme Court.
America down, fifteen alarm fire. Arrest the billionaires. Defend democracy.

The Orange Menace wants the entire world to pay attention only to him. Now trying to crash the US government, smash the future, make the world beg for relief. Bullying & cruelty are the maga-cult grind, & sadly the most vulnerable will pay the price. Warning:
America’s future is on fire. We are literally in “Nazi occupied America” & nobody was prepared, the rescue options were all squandered.

During WWII, US Army developed a training pamphlet to guard against the threat of fascist ideology permeating the ranks of US military. The definitions & warnings offered teach us about the threats we face today, from #Felon-in-chief Crime-lord DJT.

America now a grotesque 24-hr corruption circus, a mutated WWE "Apprentice" surreality show, resembling many of the dystopian video games & films the kids have been raised on. Think about the fact 20-somethings today have only known Trump, Fox & his mob, their relentless attack machine. And we're all being slammed & suffocated daily by toxic hypnotic gaslight.
We need to bring all the radical elements & entertainment creators together as if in triage emergency, like our society is on fire, because USA is being "thrown in the woodchipper" like there's no tomorrow.
Let everyone know what is really at stake, & expose the corruption with radical creativity. Take back the narrative, launch truth & consequences every Friday.
Contempt, malice, cruelty, criminality, these are the defining characteristics of the ultra-greedy "fascists" regardless of their political label. Trump & cult obviously playing the Putin methodology, since Kremlin has directed the maga-cult from the start.
Anachronistic to compare with Hitler & Mussolini in the sense that what is being unleashed on the world is potentially far worse: the corporate control & obscene wealth beyond anything before, largely black-budget criminality, the military technology far deadlier on a large scale, up to multiple warhead hypersonic nuclear missiles which can melt entire cities, & the "corruption cult" of dictators spans the entire globe. Propaganda-wise, obviously there never had existed twitter/x, telegram, facebook, or 24-hr faux news channels before this era, arguably the entire reason for us being sucked down a dystopian drain. Distraction by games & entertainment today is off the scale.
What remains the same: silence is collusion, people power & mass uprising is the solution & the psychopaths & their cult will eventually meet a terrible end. The question is how much can the world withstand of this abuse & destruction? Many systems teetering on edge...
