  1. Not when the dissent is lunatic conspiracy theories and insurrection against the legit elected government. It's absurd that you expect to be able to use Twitter to rally an overthrow against the legit elected government. That is not a right guaranteed to you anywhere. In fact it is treasonous. If you want to betray democracy, do it on your own platform. Your logic is like you trying to rape a woman in her own house and then as she's kicking you out of her house, you yell in protest: "This is unfair! I should have the freedom to use your house to rape you. Stop infringing on my Constitutional freedoms."
  2. Different situation because Trump was already President for 4 years and everyone saw how disastrous he is. He's not gonna get a second chance. His only chance was to take America by surprise. There's no more surprise. He's a known variable. The con is up.
  3. Online platforms moderating hate speech and violence speech = concentration camps. Conservative logic.
  4. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coup_d'état It was organized (as well as MAGA can organize things, they ain't geniuses). These MAGA people organize this shit via social media and private channels like Discord.
  5. Poor analysis there. Trump is not a psychopath. He's a narcissist, sociopath, and stage Red ego. Although "psychopath" is vague and poorly defined term. My terms are more accurate and specific. When you study and understand stage Red, Trump's behaviors make sense. He's not some crazy person.
  6. 100% prepared. I see no problem there. Maybe a couple of rotten apples at the lowest levels. Serious law enforcement is professional and they will do their job regardless of who it is they must defend. And at this point defending Biden is something you can be proud of thanks to Jan 6th. All of this is making Biden look amazing -- like a knight in shining armor.
  7. I'm sure they will be prepared now. There's no way these MAGA morons are any match for the entire Federal government's forces. The only way Trumpism works is when it catches you off-guard. They can use terrorist tactics, and that's about it.
  8. He would gleefully have him on for the insane ratings. The question for Spotify will be whether they want to be associated with the platforming of Trump and Jones. After Jan 6th, there will be massive backlash against Spotify if Rogan platforms any of these asses. Rogan's platforming of Alex Jones is especially bad because he makes Jones seem legit. He never aggressively calls out Jones' bullshit because they are personal friends.
  9. It needs to be said that Alex Jones also bears a huge responsibility for this. He has blood on his hands and people like Joe Rogan are stupid enough to still think that Alex Jones is cute and innocent, allowing him a platform. Alex Jones has brainwashed many of the hardest-core MAGA guys with his outrageous conspiracy theories and paranoia. It also needs to be said that Joe Rogan is an idiot for complaining about Biden not being fit for office. Rogan's assessment of Trump's danger is way off. He thinks Biden is more dangerous than Trump because Biden sometimes has some cognitive slowness. But Biden is a saint compared to Trump. All of the people who create false equivalences between the left and right need to be slapped across the face.
  10. As news trickles in, the events of Jan 6th are looking more outrageous and treasonous than initially seemed: Some of these MAGA guys are batshit crazy. It's worse than I thought. They were planning to execute Pence!
  11. They will be forced to go underground using their alt-media channels and platforms. But they already have been. Alex Jones style. That's what will become of MAGA. They will be a fringe group similar to neo-Nazis. Of course not. He's an idiot and he doesn't plan anything. He doesn't think through the consequences of his actions, he just acts impulsively from ego. That's how stage Red operates. It does not carefully strategize things. Trump simply doesn't care if his speeches and tweets cause harm to the country or cause some random deaths. He only cares about his own personal immediate gain. Of course Biden admin will be an order of magnitude better at containing extremism. But still, they can't stop every terrorist and crazy MAGA guy who makes pipe bombs in the back of his van. Don't even be surprised if some crazy MAGA guy tries to go after Biden or Harris directly. They need air-tight security. News media companies and web platforms like YT, Facebook, Twitter, Google, Apple need air-tight security over the next 12 months because these unhinged MAGA cultists will be butt-hurt and looking for revenge on liberals.
  12. Beautiful The weasel is cornered. He's gonna end up as deplatformed as Alex Jones. This is actually very important because otherwise Trump would have used all these social media accounts to troll and agitate over the next 4 years. Now he can't. It's crucial that Trump not be given access to mainstream media platforms to start a new movement. Of course he will probably try to start his own media company.
  13. Not so fast. Just wait for the domestic terrorist attacks over the next 12 months. There will be some MAGA backlash to all this de-platforming and censure. Some of them are very radical and too far gone to listen to reason.
  14. Such gaslighting bullshit from this guy. Lost all his credibility. This is the problem with humor, sarcasm, and being too cute. It easily becomes an ego-defense mechanism.
  15. Like I said, Trump is not a true strong-man. He's a fake. He doesn't have the balls to go through with an actual coup. If you're gonna do a coup, you can't half-ass it. You must do it full-bore. And Trump is not capable of that. Instead what he does is stir up shit and then deny it. He plays these con games -- but then denies any responsibility for the fallout. Because he doesn't understand how seriously these games can boil out of control. And of course once it boils over he denies any part in it because in the end all he's doing is looking out to save his own ass by any means possible.
  16. Obviously they have. I mean the ones who have not set up residence in Trump's ass.
  17. And how do you meet these girls? Via social circle? That might be your problem. You need to look for girls far beyond your social circle because your social circle is gonna reflect you. You need to diversify your portfolio, so to speak You should also develop a basic method for screening girls for mental issues. Do it early on and reject those who don't have good mental health. You can design some screening questions to suss out history of mental issues without the girl even knowing that you're screening her.
  18. But if they start to see that the MAGA base has been publicly alienated and made nonviable in the mainstream, they will change their tune because their #1 priority is survival. It's just a question of how much foresight they have now. The MAGA base will definitely be made nonviable soon. But can they see that? Or have the Republicans drunk the MAGA cool-aid themselves? Many have. I'm not sure how many. It's a coin-flip situation. Might go either way.
  19. That is true. I don't have the numbers. But if you visit an incel forum you will see a lot of them using JP's anti-SJW positions to justify their toxic victim ideologies and demonization of women. Those numbers are very significant. I would bet that JP's Green shadow rubbed off on millions of people. That is what concerns me. How am I supposed to help evolve people to Green and above when JP is making them paranoid about Green?
  20. In the big picture it's all just a natural part of ever-expanding democratization. So, paradoxically, Trumpism is democracy at work. Democracy is just a counter-intuitive and nonlinear thing. There is a profound nondual connection between authoritarianism and democracy. These things are not really opposites. There is a Hegelian dialect going on here between the two.
