Lol DHS is now listed in Wikipedia as a Secret Police Organization 🤣

I love these editors, they speak the truth as it is.

It's much worse than this

I too used to believe that Trump is getting some kind of kickback for his helping Russia, and maybe he still is

Until very recently I called Trump Putin's puppet

After seeing Vlad Vexler's video

I now understand the depths of Trump's narcissistic psychopathy

Trump separates people into two categories: People who have value to him and those who do not.

Trump will freely give the US and the west to Putin just because he wants to be in Putin's good graces because Trump requires validation from him.

To Trump, Putin belongs in the class of people that have value to him.

Post outlines quite possibly the worst-case scenario

HappySkullsplitter: it's actually much worse.

Rise further to become a pessimistic optimist.

[–] AnjunaSouls@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

As someone who was raised by a narcissistic sociopath (and who was fucked up by it in countless ways), it's beyond terrifying seeing the same type of scumbag occupying the white house.

To make a long story short. Trump always claims that others do something before he has it done... He says others risk a ww3... which countries does he want to claim everything again?
It boils down to further consolidating his dictatorship regime and completely abolishing democracy. To then attack Europe together with the ally Russia... Trump is now making sure that money and everything will flow again and Russia can rearm on the side. Your judges or anyone else won't be able to do anything about it. The only thing that can change it are people who sacrifice themselves for their country and go and kill terrorists.

yes, thats what weve been saying. he just wants to pull a reverse kissinger with russia, so he can hurt china.

i doubt he will succeed, but he will throw all he can at it because he convinced himself capable of it.

We are not of value to Trump.

He does not have the mental capacity to have a conscience.

He does not care if we live or die.

To him, it is not Russia that he is helping, only Putin because he has a compulsive need for validation from him.

Ultimately, it's not even about Putin. It's just fulfillment of his personal need for validation, a constant quest for self-gratification through the validation of those he sees as being of value

This is true of literally every big capitalist and most small capitalists (actually the small capitalists are more likely to be pointlessly cruel, instead of simply not caring). Yall focus on individuals too much to understand the systems at work here.

he is a narcissist, but he also has political goals.

[–] HappySkullsplitter@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Like all mental health conditions there are grades to its severity

Trump isn't a run of the mill narcissist, he has acute narcissistic personality disorder.

Any political goal he has isn't his own. They are only there because he is seeking validation from someone else and is enacting their will to achieve that validation.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 days ago (2 children)

i think you are overanalyzing his likely condition. his goals aligns with his chosen allies, i don't think this is very notable.

This is Great Man Theory nonsense, and frankly attributes too much of a mythical status to Trump.

In the same vein, zionism is a far right philosophy of land theft and murder, and its not anti semitism when you object to it-- zionists are being antisemitic when they hide behind the entire jewish religion to commit their terrorism. Dont be afraid of pushing back on old school terrorism and war crimes. We're better than that. -- Or maybe we have been better than that in the past, and will be again.

Yes, I can’t believe I see dipshits that get angry and scream “antisemitism” even on Lemmy, in response to someone pointing out that massacring innocent civilians because you want their land is genocide. There’s no depth in the view of someone who got their feelings hurt when you pointed out the damage they’re causing.

Reminder Trump has arranged for "Illegal" Latino men (Venezuelan to be precise) to be sent to Slave/Rape Camps in El-Salvador

Instead of following protocol to sent them back to Venezuela & The fucking Right-Wing (can we call them Rightists ?) Scum-fucks are jerking off to this disgusting state-sponsored slavery.

You can also just call them all pedophiles because that is also what they are
