"Clown Population" hates Canada because Twitter King shit-bird tweeted to

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.

I know what will help! I'll sow even MOAR division! Yes! People haven't been divided enough by the billionaires and media owners on corpo social media, so I'm gonna bring division to the fediverse!

  It sounds to me like you think this (the White House being "owned" by Putin) is all hilarious and funny. That surreal comedy and absurd Twitter-speak on social media machines is all LOL and hilarious for you to consume and react-comment to. At least that's my initial take on how you (your electric media message) are treating extremely serious Russian information warfare against NATO and especially the United States of America. You can take people off of Twitter, but you can't get them to stop the Tweet-style mockery and sarcasm to extremely important and serious matters.
  Your reply serves to banalize that USA is attacking Canada and doing other absurd and hyper-real surreal comedy actions in service to the Kremlin.
  “In the twenty-first century the techniques of the political technologists have become centralized and systematized, coordinated out of the office of the presidential administration, where Surkov would sit behind a desk on which were phones bearing the names of all the “independent” party leaders, calling and directing them at any moment, day or night. The brilliance of this new type of authoritarianism is that instead of simply oppressing opposition, as had been the case with twentieth-century strains, it climbs inside all ideologies and movements, exploiting and rendering them absurd. One moment Surkov would fund civic forums and human rights NGOs, the next he would quietly support nationalist movements that accuse the NGOs of being tools of the West. With a flourish he sponsored lavish arts festivals for the most provocative modern artists in Moscow, then supported Orthodox fundamentalists, dressed all in black and carrying crosses, who in turn attacked the modern art exhibitions. The Kremlin’s idea is to own all forms of political discourse, to not let any independent movements develop outside of its walls. Its Moscow can feel like an oligarchy in the morning and a democracy in the afternoon, a monarchy for dinner and a totalitarian state by bedtime.” ― Peter Pomerantsev, Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible: The Surreal Heart of the New Russia, year 2014

  "People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you’re not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you." - Banksy
  
  Your read is way way way fucking off base. Might be my fault, I thought I was clear but I suppose I understand how one might not think so.
  I do not find anything about this administration or their actions to be funny or amusing. I find the people and policies that makeup MAGA to be abhorrent. To be honest, I think you and I can probably agree politically on a lot of topics.
  What I was commenting on, through sarcasm (my bad for not including the /s I guess), was your sweeping generalization. Those only serve to divide, further pushing members of the working class to splinter off into smaller groups to be more easily exploited and controlled by the ownership class.
  Maybe its hyperbole and I missed it? Maybe not, perhaps you truly believe everyone in the US deserves, wanted, and supports what our government is doing. Perhaps you think we aren't doing enough to resist? I can agree to that, all the protests I've been to have been smaller than I had hoped. I'm also getting in touch with other orgs in my area to get more started, hopefully we can get something happening.
  Idk what to tell you. Your post came off as very crass to me, and I responded with heavy sarcasm.

  Perhaps you suffer from a media literacy problem of light-speed social machines. I suggest you study over on !CounterSurkov@lemm.ee ...
  You react-comment instead of try to understand someone. I also suggest !JamesJoyceExperience@lemm.ee - it is a MASSIVE crisis all across the World Wide Web in year 2025 that people react-comment and don't seek understanding. James Joyce, Irish Writer, was dealing with the same crisis of Dublin life over 100 years ago. The metaphor of the "Tower of Babel" and how humans get in conflicts over language and jumping to conclusions and at each other's throat.

  Interesting suggestion, I'll have to check it out when I get some time.
  So if my post was a "react-comment," the implication being my lacking of media literacy has caused me to misunderstand you, can you at least do me the favor of clarifying your meaning? I asked some questions, answering those might help.
  I'm trying to discuss this in good faith with you, but I truly do not think that's being reciprocated.

  That's entirely my point. You may notice that I frequently cite books, magazines, professionally edited writings from professors, teachers, etc. I suggest you escape your fixation on my personal language and demonstrate some comprehension of the "Forest for Trees" topics being discussed using someone's words entirely not your own or mine. As I'm not here for pissing contest of !MasturbatoryEgoism@lemm.ee social machine comment section conflicts.
  "I truly do not think that’s being reciprocated" <<< I witness that. Community description of this Lemmy community: "Clown Population.

  You've sited a single article and an anemic forum. I'm here to discuss things with other people, I don't have a fixation on your or anyone's personal language. Suggesting otherwise is absurd.

  Sounds like you are under the influence of Kremlin simulacras. Seeing things as absurd and surreal via media machines.

  What does "anemic forum" mean? Sounds like diss-talk, shit-tallk against something?

  So you're just taking the piss. Got it. Thanks for wasting my time.

  Not at all. Your replies all seem to be attacks against me. I'm entirely serious. People who consume clown content / entertainment all day every day ("memes") off social media often have a very hard time being able to tell when someone (or even when media content itself) is being serious and raising alarms about information warfare from the Kremlin. I witness this frequently.
  My name is Stephen Alfred Gutknecht, I grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana - what's your background?
  I've been fighting the Russians on the Internet full time since summer of 2015. The USA has entirely lost the Hybrid War against Putin. !HybridWarLost@lemm.ee - and so many everyday social media users have "lost their hearts and minds" to anti-reality.
  So you’re just taking the piss.
  Is that what you are doing to me? are you just here for one-line insults that sound like Elon Musk on X media platform? I'm here to try and RESCUE people in NATO / USA from all the damage done since 2013 by the "Internet Research Agency". This isn't about entertaining people with "taking the piss" bullshit.

  My first comment was absolutely an attack at the content of your post and the generalization made (specifically the image description).
  I don't give a flying fuck about your personal identity. Literally couldn't care less who you are, your name, your age - any personal details about you are completely irrelevant at this point in time.
  One-line insults? Friend, you've suggested I had media literacy issues and vaguely malignant fixations in multiple comments. Is that not insulting?
  I made a single comment that could, by the most generous of measures, be considered insulting because of how sarcastic it was. I used clinical language purposefully in an attempt to avoid anything that could be considered insulting. Hence anemic, in the context, meaning the forum you linked was rather small or inactive.
  I'm not going to reveal any PII to you or anyone else here for any reasons. I want to discuss ideas and explore their merit, personal information is irrelevant.
  
  It sounds to me like you're looking for conflict. Your language is very accusatory. And honestly, it really doesn't seem justified.
  
  It sounds to me like you’re looking for conflict.
  I a LIVING in the United States of America. I am LIVING in conflict. People are in denial.
  
  Yes. I know. I live here, too. You know what fucks with my head? I've seen posts here on Lemmy outlining the specifics of how Trump/Musk actually stole the election. And you know what? If we've figured it out, then we're not the only ones. But nobody in a position of power and authority did anything. They knew; and they let him do it.
  But anyway, I merely want to suggest that you're current tactics are more likely to alienate people. If you wish to get people to open their eyes, there might be better ways?
  But I am just another idiot doom scrolling; what do I know, right? ¯(ツ)/¯

  I don't believe they manipulated votes. since 1999 I've lived in an RV as my home office, I've traveled and lived in 25 cities.
  This is what USA has become since the introduction of the Apple iPhone in year 2007. Since all the streaming platforms and Elon Musk is a perfect example with the purchase of Twitter.
  People are becoming so in love with technology and machines that they are dehumanizing people. That's the story of America.
  This isn't a stolen election, people actually are attracted to a 78 year old man who has an Apple iPhone addiction and consumes Russian mental manipulation. Donald Trump does not live in objective scientific reality. He lives in Rupert Murdoch's Fox News HDTV and memes he consumes off the Internet. And all that matters to most people is that decoration on a meme makes an idea sound good. That a pretty picture along with one or two sentences of wors made almost any idea attractive.
  People in the USA have become so meme addled since year 2015, they are attracted to the stereotype of a loud fat male American that the rest of the world thinks is "bad taste" and ignorant. The problem is morality comprehension, people are attracted to bad things. As long as they can keep consuming Fox News, Elon Musk antics, Reality TV, Joe Rogan, etc. They are putting into their minds more and more junk and Donald Trump attracts people.
  The problem is "brain rot" of an entire society. Not "stolen elections". There are far better people out of 300 million that could be President, but people are attracted to the shit-talk and insults. The problem is: the people. The population.
