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.

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?

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” ― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark, 1995 ... /\ //\ /\ ... "Stand Up For the BIG GUY", "Stand up for Elon Musk", "Stand up for Putin and Russia", "Stand up for the Powerful", "Stand up for Donald Trump".Absent is: "stand up for the Little Guy", the rural Americans who have had their mind fucked by Russia, Elon Musk, Donald Trump, etc. Stand up for cult deprogramming of your fellow "small guy" is sure popular on social machine systems in 2024 and year 2025!
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.
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.
Hate is bad. You probably need morality education, it is a very very common problem across the world. People on machines (computer hardware) can become really dehumanization to other people. Donald Trump and Elon Musk on their Apple iPhone can really spew hate against humanism and people.
I suggest Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He is from Georgia USA, near where I was born. I can suggest this lesson: We have adopted in the modern world a sort of a relativistic ethic ... Most people can't stand up for their convictions, because the majority of people might not be doing it. See, everybody's not doing it, so it must be wrong. And since everybody is doing it, it must be right. So a sort of numerical interpretation of what's right. But I'm here to say to you this morning that some things are right and some things are wrong. Eternally so, absolutely so. It's wrong to hate. It always has been wrong and it always will be wrong. It's wrong in America, it's wrong in Germany, it's wrong in Russia, it's wrong in China. It was wrong in 2000 B.C., and it's wrong in 1954 A.D. It always has been wrong, and it always will be wrong. It's wrong to throw our lives away in riotous living. No matter if everybody in Detroit is doing it, it's wrong. It always will be wrong, and it always has been wrong. It's wrong in every age and it's wrong in every nation. Some things are right and some things are wrong, no matter if everybody is doing the contrary.
Subject of Lemmy posting this comment is in context with: "Clown Population" hates Canada because Twitter King shit-bird tweeted to
So you are only interested in "Big Media", like "The Mainstream Media" of Elon Musk or Donald Trump? interesting that you dismiss things based on them being small. "Stand up for the Big Guy", huh? Very popular in population these days, year 2024 and year 2025.

“Hitlerism was a mass flight to dogma, to the barbaric dogma that had not been expelled with the Romans, the dogma of the tribe, the dogma that gave every man importance only in so far as the tribe was important and he was a member of the tribe.” ― Milton Sanford Mayer, They Thought They Were Free: The Germans, 1933-45, published 1955
Thanks for the discussion. Have a good day ☺️
Same to you, have a great week.

“I think that people with autism are born outside the regime of civilization. Sure, this is just my own made-up theory, but I think that, as a result of all the killings in the world and the selfish planet-wrecking that humanity has committed, a deep sense of crisis exists. Autism has somehow arisen out of this. Although people with autism look like other people physically, we are in fact very different in many ways. We are more like travelers from the distant, distant past. And if, by our being here, we could help the people of the world remember what truly matters for the Earth, that would give us a quiet pleasure.” ― Naoki Higashida, The Reason I Jump: the Inner Voice of a Thirteen-Year-Old Boy with Autism
I want to clarify that I was not being facetious with you, I truly wish you have a good day. I'd also love to discuss these topics with you further, but I think there's a breakdown in our communication styles that would unfortunately make doing so fruitless or unenjoyable for either/both of us. I want to understand your message, it's just not happening like this.
I do appreciate some of those links though, some good stuff in them. I also appreciate many of your arguments, even if I might not understand their relevance to our discussion.
Take care.
Your original post absolutely made sense and you're being way too patient with what I can only assume is a bot designed to destroy constructive conversation.
Division of humans in general leads to conflict. Your point is speak out when someone attempts to do this unfairly i.e. "ALL Americans are bad" is a terrible statement.
I mean I kept engaging purely out of curiosity and intrigue. I still haven't figured out if it's a bot or some weird social experiment, possibly both? I'm nuerodivergent myself, so I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt.
People have such trouble with English language on social media, I can give you professionally edited and written authors so you understand what I'm saying:

Yha, that's why I cite so many other authors. I witness egomania on Lemmy, Bluesky, Reddit, Twitter (X) / Elon Musk platform / YouTube / Instagram / TikTok / Mastodon / etc - people get all worked up and angry over people with other skin colors, other nation flags, other languages, other styles and fashions, other genders (especially transgender). Egomania is raging on the World Wide Web in year 2024 and year 2025, it is out of control! Machine media systems have really wrecked humanity.
