You can still find a real discussion here & there but it's certainly trended that way.

Absolutely. Name a funnier video to watch than shrieking and screaming leftist Karens, and soys, FAFO. It’s hilarious entertainment.

Don't know about regularly lol
But I think we were still dealing with the whiplash of mass media then we get hit with the age of the computer, pod cast and AI. The social and cultural changes are still coming.

I don’t feel much empathy for demonic DEMs. Their leaders tend to be the worst of the worst.

My daughter woke me up three times from my nap... she's 25. I am beyond a rage right now.

It’s conditioning. Look at the “reality” shows on TV. We are being conditioned to react emotionally to any and every situation.
Posted on 10/27/25 at 2:29 pm to weagle1999
I don't know. I have anger issues... so if I was truly "outraged," I'd probably be in prison right now.

And there lies the problem.
Social media and stupid people fuel our daily lives. AI and Altrnative facts to devide us for the win.

I'm a natural nonconformist, pessimist and contrarian, so I stay pretty evenly keeled about most things, I think. I always expect the worst so I'm rarely surprised when it happens. I'm usually happiest when I'm wrong, honestly. I wish that was far more often.
I try not to get too worked up about the propaganda and political kabuki theater we're fed on a daily basis. I've accepted that 96% of the people in government are on the same team.
I'm most definitely not addicted to outrage though. I value my peace and harmony, and have excised MANY toxic relationships from my life. I fish a lot to balance things out. It puts me at ease, being out on a river in the middle of nowhere.

We have evolved to always be alert and look for threats. We survived for millennia when Sabre toothed tigers and locusts and invaders caught be lurking at any moment. In 2025 the normie American has very little to worry about on a day to day basis. So we look to find stuff to fill that instinct. The media provides it happily.
If fox said “it’s going to be a nice week and the leaves are changing and you have nothing to worry about” most people would not watch again for the week. So they tell us the sky is falling.. boom you’ll tune in 5 times a day.
The problems we do face are at such a high level that we really can’t do anything about it. Economics, immigration, political and such. We have an awesome group handling that stuff at the moment and hopefully for many years going forward.

The "ruling apparatus" being what? Alphabet agencies.
And be honest. There is no good reason to believe 90% of the tabloid idiocy that people today believe without any evidence whatsoever.
I was watching some video recently where this guy was interviewing "No Kings" protestors who believe that Trump has had American citizens killed.
And the conspiracy theories that have proven to be true recently are of the type that have probably always existed in modernity. People just didn't find out about them b/c technology hadn't yet provided enough of a network for people to expose them.

Alphabet agencies, private actors like Soros, the executive branch, etc. I was listening to De Souza on Triggernometry today and he worked in the freaking WH; he still had no idea how corrupt it all was until they came after him. He's more more of a "conspiracy theorist" than he was ten years ago. Just because the zone is flooded with bullshite (both from whackos and the aforementioned alphabet agencies) doesn't mean it's all bullshite.

Yeah, and people were ridiculed for believing them. Now we know some of them were factual, so people are naturally going to be more receptive to additional, similar explanations. They'd be naive fools not to.

Are you / we addicted to outrage? I think it is a fair question to ask regularly. Are you addicted to the emotional response that accompanies an outlandish political story?
