Clown Population

Clown Population. The clowns inside the White House are only a small fraction of a total society of mock for mock, reactionary mocking, clowns. The entire nation is a "basket case of clowning around" on social machines / HDTV media machines / mockery.
People like to play a game of psychological denial and say ONLY MAGA is the clowns, only the White House is the clowns. It's the entire population of Untied States of America.

These 8-words Twitter-length / Bluesky-length responses to what is gong on in USA / North America in April 2025 Is "baby talk". As defined by Neil Postman back in 1985:
Like how people talk about Donald Trump wearing diapers and how he is 7 years old and how Elon Musk is a dumb idiot. That's Twitter style shit-bird ways of Tweeting debate, and it works. That's how Donald Trump and Elon Musk got to the top of the free world in year 2024, by baby-talk and dumb shit. Anti-intellectualism in favor of drugs.
“When a population becomes distracted by trivia, when cultural life is redefined as a perpetual round of entertainments, when serious public conversation becomes a form of baby-talk, when, in short, a people become an audience, and their public business a vaudeville act, then a nation finds itself at risk; culture-death is a clear possibility.” ― Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business, 1985 !BackTo1985@lemm.ee
Twitter-length Elon Musk does drugs kind of mocking. "Elon Musk on ketamine" thought-terminating cliche thinking. Don't take serious anything going on in USA and media systems, just drug talk.
That's your response to me quoting Dr. Martin Luther King Jr: "The trouble isn't so much that we don't know enough, but it's as if we aren't good enough. The trouble isn't so much that our scientific genius lags behind, but our moral genius lags behind. The great problem facing modern man is that, that the means by which we live have outdistanced the spiritual ends for which we live. So we find ourselves caught in a messed-up world. The problem is with man himself and man's soul. We haven't learned how to be just and honest and kind and true and loving. And that is the basis of our problem. The real problem is that through our scientific genius we've made of the world a neighborhood, but through our moral and spiritual genius we've failed to make of it a brotherhood." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Lemmy is full of people who dehumanize and promote drugs. People who love machines and hate human beings for calling out that USA society in year 2025 is insane, that in April 2025 - USA entire behavior is out of control and wild crazy.
