Is Trump being "authoritarian" possibly a good thing for the system? Do they really care about who is in the WH? "Amid pre-election claims from conservative commentators that the US establishment would not allow Donald Trump to win, some American commentators have suggested that Trump voter enthusiasm was "too big to rig" while others speculated that the purported vote-rigging mechanisms in place had been stopped by the ruling elites.According to this argument, the elites reasoned that Trump could be maneuvered into pro-war positions and would be more successful in marshaling public support than Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and, as such, the deep state 'allowed Trump to win.'""It would be easy to seduce Americans into a new military adventure if they are led by a popular leader, warned former Ronald Reagan official Dr. Paul Craig Roberts on his website.The *deep state* is entrenched and institutionalized and has many ways to maneuver Trump to its purpose or block his efforts altogether, according to Dr. Roberts. During Trump's first term, dissent from the intelligence community, the military, the State Department and media disrupted his plans."https://sputnikglobe.com/20241112/did-us-deep-state-allow-trump-to-win-1120861699.html

@WDI_USA It's heartbreaking to see people in such a deep conflict with themselves just because they don't fit the patriarchal standards. I think that the "trans"-phenomenon is in many aspects a sign of humans trying to break free from old patriarchal values. Interesting also how *males* are those who more loudly and even violently defend the continuation of the "trans" narrative instead of understanding its cause and ending the conflict.

@LostInCalifornia How much of this is truth and how much of it is just PR and emotional stunt and not very related with real "authoritarianism"? Do those who really govern the US, call it *deep state* or whatever, really want a fascist regime in the White House? We know that those who supported Hitler's ascension actually wanted a fascist regime to be installed but at that time Germany was falling apart after the humiliating defeat of WWI. Usually, important things don't happen without a good reason. Who are those trying to promote "oligarchical dictatorship" in America, and why are they trying to do it?

@LostInCalifornia I don't think "trans women" are women, neither biologically nor otherwise. I *do* think that the Ukraine war was mostly caused by West intervention, specially US and UK, and the weakness of Zelensky as a leader. I think vaccines helped to end the pandemic but the Omicron variant was the one that actually brought it to and end. I don't believe climate change is happening as most people do, with global warming and CO2 as the essential culprit, as I see it the most important factor affecting Earth's climate is the Sun, by far. I don't think the truth is "right or left", "black or white", it's usually much more complicated that that.

@PG "Deep thinking" without radical feminism is pseudo deep thinking IMO. She cites Buddhist texts and a Roman emperor, which could be appropriate, but does she know any feminist thinker, like Mary Daly for example? Does she considers women and men equally oppressed in this world by "group thinking"?

@PG I almost agree with you PG, the perception of Universal suffering is certainly a way to understand our own, and to cite that as an important aspect to demystify group thinking is certainly valid IMO, but she clearly uses the easy tool of patriarchal famous texts to prove, or reinforce, her points which I tend to think is not good enough. I don't care about Buddhist texts or what Roman emperors have to say but, I think her central point criticizing group thinking and identifying it as central to the "trans" ideology and how sensible people should *not* fall to it, is perfectly valid, one hundred percent.

@PG "Infants as young as 9 days old can distinguish between the sexes."I didn't know this, the more I know about "trans" the less I like it. It's almost like an "anti-human" theory. This is a very thoughtful post, I'll pin it on my page.

Just sharing Chappell Roan's message for 2026, ✨"I took a major step back from socials this year as I felt betrayed and forgot that's exactly what the internet is made for if you get too close to it. I haven't had TikTok in months and I do not miss it at all. I thought my world would crash in and I would be so out of the loop on life and my community. Instead, I had more time to go outside and take up learning Spanish; watch a lot more movies and read books. I kind of substituted one engagement with culture for another. I didn't realize how sick I was actually making myself...That's what I feel like next year should be in 2026. The year of taking care of myself and others and really engaging in a community that feels real and not online. Volunteering locally and giving money to organizations I believe in...I feel like not many of us had a pleasant time and I hope that you're taking care of yourselves and others around you. Life is very hard and very dark, especially right now. I guess the next best thing to do is doing what helps yourself heal and be the best for this world... I feel very loved <3 Till next year. Xoxo.
