My guy! No one on Lemmy is with Elon Musk and Joe Rogan and so on. With very few exceptions, every single person is the visionary iconclast that can see they're full of nonsense.
There are some people here who are pro-Russia but the vast majority view is that Russia is meddling in our system and it's a huge problem. You are not bursting through any oppressive boundaries by posting that message. Sorry! But the good news is you have allies. I'm just saying you can relax a little bit about getting extra about posting the message because people (the majority of them; again there are vocal exceptions) are open to it.
Belittle my efforts, gotcha. I'm already on my death bed. If you want to create your own content and title it the way you want, knock yourself out. I'm tried to explain to you that I'm a "crank" and other way society will dismiss me. Doesn't mean I'm not doing the best I can in the way I know how. I'm age 55, I've lived in Africa, I've lived in South America, I've lived in an RV in USA full time in 25 cities, I lived in Indonesia, Malaysia. It isn't as if I am new at hearing feedback that boils down to your communication should fit the current year style and fashion and have never studied why anyone thinks that is a good idea. I gave you a quote from Marshall McLuhan himself, and yet your feedback is that I don't grasp or comprehend the audience problem of Lemmy April 2025.
"When conformity enforcers overwhelm diversity generators, all of us are in trouble. Spartans--fundamentalists, militia groups, fascists, and ultra-nationalists--can freeze the machinery of collective mind. A shutdown of urban diversity devastates that exercise of collective acumen we call an economy. Christian Fundamentalism has been shown by the research of sociologists Alfred Darnell and Darren E. Sherkat to retard the learning of children raised within its grasp. Darnell and Sherkat sum up a common Fundamentalist attitude in the following words: "No schooling is better than secular schooling." Then there's the paralysis of thought which outright battle brings. When World War I erupted, Sigmund Freud was horrified by the sudden "narrow-mindedness shown by [even] the best intellects, their obduracy, their inaccessibility to the most forcible arguments." Such closings of the mind may explain why authoritarians are prone to ignore it when their approaches flop. They often goose-step from one year to another rigidly glued to backfiring ways."

Your efforts are great, I like them. I'm belittling the presentation which I think will undercut your message a little.
Up to you, I'm just offering my input, didn't mean any kind of offense by it.
I have autism, I get feedback like yours every single time I communicate in private or public since age 10. I've been a professional in social media since 1984 in high school. I get offended so much that people give you this style of conformity direction every time you speak or communicate in public I've been giving !RemedialMorality@lemm.ee lessons and teaching people how to have diversity in their reading via !JamesJoyce@lemm.ee here on Lemmy.
The worst part is when people act like you aren't self-aware of your communications differences and that you don't run an entire website on the subject: https://www.gutknechtautism.org/QuotesAndQuotes
Are you gullible, naive? You really think the richest man in the world with his own global ISP (StarLink) and the world's largest machine training center doesn't have people here? I used to work for the 1st and 3rd richest persons in the world in social media systems in Bellevue Washington.. on their private staff with Edward Snowden level access to their private data. I'm not here for entertainment memes. I'm on my deathbed and doing everything I can to defend NATO (and USA my home nation) against the world's most sophisticated monomyth mind-fuck ever created that was released in March 2013 on Reddit, Twitter, news comment sections, etc.

“Associative thinkers see relations and connections everywhere and tend not to categorize things. When I hear or read a certain word, I suddenly see a lot of “pictures” in my mind that have something to do with that word. This happens in quite an unstructured and even chaotic way. It's a complicated spiderweb of memories, pictures, and thoughts.” - Casey "Remrov" Vormer, Connecting With The Autism Spectrum: How To Talk, How To Listen, And Why You Shouldn’t Call It High-Functioning. more from the book here: https://www.gutknechtautism.org/QuotesAndQuotes
Okay. I'm not trying to be unsympathetic with anything in your situation man. I'm telling you how choosing to append stuff to the end of your post titles that makes them look like spam is going to come across to people, and some factual misunderstandings that you seem to have about your audience on Lemmy. Because I think your message is an important one. None of it had anything to do with conformity.
I think you need to get out of the habit of telling people, in effect, "I'm neurodivergent so shut up I am right and here is how to be better in the future please." Simply having these challenges doesn't mean you're automatically right about everything and people need to shut up and do it your way, any more than you would need to do the same on your side. It's just a human-to-human interaction. That's it. It's a give and take. None of what I was telling you had anything to do with policing your communications differences. You can be into my advice or not, and it sounds like you're not, which is your right and best of luck with it.
Second reply.
A dehumanizing bully comes along, and you want me to bow down to the bully. I didn't tell you to shut up. I was pretty clear that this is extremely serious topics (Hybrid War being lost to Russia, lose of "Hearts and Minds") to me from the very creation of the Lemmy community. I'm not here for meme entertainment and moving around the deck chairs on the Titanic as it sinks. I explained to you that I have since age 10 heard this style of feedback about autism masking, put your mask on over and over. And I'm not fucking here on Lemmy to hide my individual humanism because machine users want conformity in April 2025.
The White House is under Kremlin / Putin / Russia influence to justify disease outbreaks and deaths because of autism. This isn't some trivial issue about my personal ego, I'm not here to blend in with the Lemmy community that shows zero concern about how fiction wrecks non-fiction. I'm here standing up against mass dehumanization. "Autism community fears RFK Jr. would set back decades of progress. Advocates worry that as HHS secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. could undermine years of work to unlink autism and vaccines and divert precious research dollars to a discredited theory."
All this bullshit is a direct result of Kremlin War Against Reality on the topic of vaccination that has documented evidence of Twitter going back to year 2014. And I know first hand on many other media platforms, which nobody has been open enough to share validated Russian data from for researchers. People keep brushing it under the rug.
Guy.
Not really. I told you that your posting will hit better if you make one specific type of edit to them, and that the message you say everyone is rejecting is (1) a pretty popular one on Lemmy already (2) something I wholeheartedly support spreading. Then when you rejected me saying that, I said "okay cool."
No one is against you here, man. You're picking a fight that you do not need to be picking.
Correct. You told me:
Which is, basically: "Shut up."
What you're engaged in is called being a "crybully". You're being hostile to me for no reason at all, while trying to paint yourself as a victim of horrible lifelong oppression because I told you something you didn't like. Like I said: Okay.
I'm not afraid to say "go away", or "shut up". I am direct and clear.
I extensively replied to you as to my underlying philosophy and quoted multiple sources on the topic. So far, you haven't responded to any ideas or words other than your target fixation on my original writing on Lemmy. You ignored Marshall McLuhan, Megan Garber, Howard Bloom and Dr. Martin Luther King on the same subjects. Very telling... that your context fixation is only here on my words and not the general aspect of why I might not be trying to conform to Lemmy April 2025 superficial values.

“Social media, that little narcissism machine, the easiest way we have ever had to place ourselves on a pedestal of vanity, also is the mechanism that most efficiently breaks you up.” ― Peter Pomerantsev, This Is Not Propaganda: Adventures in the War Against Reality, 2019
Yes, because I already agree with them. What do you want me to say, "Yes that is good" every time? Maybe I should have explicitly said that, but I was attempting to explain that most people here (myself included) already agree with all this stuff.
You are conforming perfectly to Lemmy April 2025 values. You are starting a pointless fight with a strawman for no reason at all, while aggressively talking down to your interlocutor. Also you're saying Russia is fucking up the world (in this one particular way) and it's a problem.
You fit in perfectly, honestly. If you were saying ACAB is counterproductive at this point, or that Hamas shouldn't have raped all those people or that FlyingSquid did nothing wrong, that would be not conforming and bringing some iconoclasty. You're doing Lemmy pitch-perfect, as far as I can tell.
Yes, I think it is part of the problem. Instead of giving morality lessons to police, people are just furthering hate. !RemedialMorality@lemm.ee
All rape is bad, no matter who is doing it. I don't see anyone in Lemmy standing up to all hate, all violence, all rape and instead promoting that Palestine should "win" against Israel. Terrroism is bad, war is bad, the whole Middle East needs !RemedialMorality@lemm.ee teaching.
I have lived in the Middle East and extensively studied the subject. Why are people all grey-rocking !Malala@lemm.ee on Lemmy? Why aren't they promoting her ideas and quoting her daily?
Because all they care about is "winning" battles and not putting an end to all hate and war.
Who is that strawman? Can you be specific, precise, or just bullshit like Donald Trump and Elon Musk style of communications? And you think there is no point in fighting the superficial values of people who can't tolerate word choices and style differences. Again, you trying to belittle and say what I'm doing is "pointless". I'm not a straman, I'm a human being named Stephen Alfred Gutknecht.
I think what people largely value on Lemmy is mass dehumanization of "the others" out-groups they disagree with. Using anonymous accounts on machine systems to hide their real life and real identity and mock away at Palestine, mock away at Israel, mock away at Donald Trump, mock away at MAGA, mock away at humanism in favor of mockery and machine lust itself.
I do not see that at all. There is zero self-awareness of !MediaEcology@lemm.ee and the Kremlin information warfare.
Show me all the comments and posts here on Lemmy discussing Cambridge Analtyica working with the Internet Research Agency. SHOW ME. As I already looked. People are playing inside the 5,000 simulacra patterns here in anti-reality hiding their real names as is life is an ARG screen game. Just like Bluesky, Mastodon, Reddit, Twitter.
This is a cult platform of meme consumers who adore patterns of memes and are not pro-humanist, they are pro-technology. Do you hear anyone here on Lemmy mentioning that Apple iPhone and Apple iPad are funding Elon Musk X media platform in 2025? I don't, because it is beloved technology.
Do you see Star Wars fans on Lemmy discussing the George Lucas filming of Bill Moyers and Joseph Campbell about machine values taking over society, the REAL non-fiction USA? Nope. I don't see that coming up about those Skywalker Ranch interviews. And what was said in 1987 at Skywalker Ranch about the Middle East religions, anyone repeating that?
George Lucas Skywalker Ranch 1987
JOSEPH CAMPBELL: But in the Bible, eternity withdraws, and nature is corrupt, nature has fallen. In biblical thinking, we live in exile.
BILL MOYERS: As we sit here and talk, there is one story after another of car bombings in Beirut—by the Muslims of the Christians, by the Christians of the Muslims, and by the Christians of the Christians. It strikes me that Marshall McLuhan was right when he said that television has made a global village of the world—but he didn’t know the global village would be Beirut. What does that say to you?
JOSEPH CAMPBELL: It says to me that they don’t know how to apply their religious ideas to contemporary life, and to human beings rather than just to their own community. It’s a terrible example of the failure of religion to meet the modern world. These three mythologies are fighting it out. They have disqualified themselves for the future.
What I witness on Lemmy is people far more concerned with the decorations around a 8-word meme than they care about actually using social media to address humanism problems for all people on the planet, all-inclusive. Donald Trump and Elon Musk are a product of the Apple iPhone culture that was exploited by the Kremlin working with Cambridge Analytica in the most powerful information warfare ever created in human history.
I don't see people here in April 2025 going: the world needs more love, compassion, we need MLK Jr and Malala teachers. Instead, I see people mocking Donald Trump, mocking Elon Musk, and wanting new game consoles.

"Finnegans Wake is the greatest guidebook to media study ever fashioned by man." - Marshall McLuhan, Newsweek Magazine, p.56, February 28, 1966
Sure. Here are examples, I don't want to pick through your messages for 10-20 different ones but just the first ones that jumped out:
Nobody is expecting you to. The number of people on Lemmy who are in favor of Fox News is probably a tiny little outlier of "conservative" ghettos populated by a couple of users each, and a bunch of downvotes. Implying that I am trying to get you to conform to Fox News when I gave you constructive feedback on your titles was the first point it seemed like you went off the rails.
"In matters of principle, stand like a rock. In matters of style, flow with the current."
This is actually tangential to the strawman thing, but I do think that making your headline style match what people expect, and in particular avoiding something that's going to classify it as spam and undercut the message you're trying to send, is an important thing. What you're saying is sort of akin to "it's okay if I smell bad in public" or "it's okay if I wear a T-shirt in the office" because "it's unfair that I should be judged by" et cetera.
I mean, you're not completely wrong, but it's also a good idea in general to avoid saying one thing in a way that's easy to misconstrue as some other thing, or do side-channel things that can undercut your message. Blaming your putting of spam-stuff in your headline on neurodivergence is just straight-up bullshit. You can choose not to put spam in the headline. Whatever your state of being is. That's why I say you are crybullying. It's your choice. You're choosing the one thing, which is fine, but you can drop the huge histrionics about how I'm being horrible if I recommend that you do the other thing.
This part of the previous strawman is the strawman. I'll only speak for myself, but I've studied media communications and the flaws in American media a certain amount. You keep implying that other people must not be as well-read as you, must not be as qualified, surely didn't work in important roles, aren't aware of Russian influence on America. Stop. If someone tells you they agree, stop lecturing them about what they need to understand, and move on with the assumption that yes, they're aware, and agree with you.
What I say is the strawman is that you keep insisting, somehow, that people aren't aware or don't want to hear that Russians are corrupting America's media. Apparently. Aren't you doing that? If I have misunderstood something, let me know.

Pretty much the first thing that is a comment is this, sitting there at hundreds of upvotes for calling out Russian trolling as a present issue. I think maybe part of the reason you might be missing that this is part of the overall belief system of the average Lemmy person is that it is so universally agreed, that we don't really need to sit around telling it to each other. Cambridge Analytica and the IRA are sort of part of history, at this point, how we got to the present state as opposed to vital "news" that people need to be made aware of.
Outside of Lemmy, I'll completely agree with you about the state of people's awareness of it. If you were posting with this screaming urgency on Facebook or something it would probably be a good idea. I'm saying that Lemmy is almost universally aware of what you're saying. Probably there are a few people that still need to hear it, but also, you're undercutting your message by being unintentionally histrionic about it.
I'm not trying to hurt your feelings by ordering you to conform, nothing like that. You can title your posts however you like. I'm just telling you that they will be more impactful if you title them in a more calm manner, and definitely you will have better luck communicating with people if you absorb that most Lemmy people already agree with you.
Right? Doesn't that make sense? You tell me.
I sincerely think you do not grasp James Joyce's Finnegans Wake and think all these are 'strawman'.
No, this is hard core reality real to me. Tower of Babel metaphor is as real as humanity problems get, and social media users are some of the worst in all human history in how they force language upon each other and insult and mock people / dehumanize with machines.
I entirely correct you: these are NOT strawmen arguments. You really need to study Marshall McLuhan and James Joyce.
No, they don't. I gave extensive examples in my last reply. This place is amusement mill. Nobody here is agreeing with me that amusement itself is the cause of our problems. LOL, LMFAO, memes, shit.
Everything of Lemmy anonymous meme life is what is wrong in year 2025. This is a place where Donald Trump and Elon Musk are normalized with amusement surreal comedy, absurd humor.
My dad predicted Trump in 1985 – it's not Orwell, he warned, it's Brave New World. The ascent of Donald Trump has proved Neil Postman’s argument in Amusing Ourselves to Death was right. Here’s what we can do about it
Oh, on the over-amusement Neil Postman issue, I'll completely agree with you. And yes I think most Lemmy people are unaware of that as a problem. It's gotten incredibly much worse since Postman's time. Orders of magnitude.
The strawman thing was simply on what you seemed to be saying about people on Lemmy being unaware of or in denial about Russian interference. It's two different issues. I was talking purely about the issue of Russian trolls being in control of a lot of discourse on the internet, and people being aware of it or not, not the underlying flaws in the whole dopamine model or people being aware of that or not.
Communication! Good stuff.
I should have said this last reply, but I'll say it now.
People on the Internet throw out logical fallacy labels / names like "strawman argument" as thought-terminating clichés.
I have estimated in public that it takes 18 months to comprehend the topics I'm discussing. Even Peter Pomerantsev does not seem to understand Marshall McLuhan, Neil Postman, James Joyce on the monomyth / world religions.... so Peter Pomerantsev entire body of interviews and published writings is only about 6 out of the 18 months. Marshall McLuhan and Joycean body of work is easily another 9 months of understanding Surkovian information warfare payloads - what Cambridge Analytica has tapped into.
There are alternatives and faster paths than 18 months, such as trusting the right people. Many of which are dead authors / teachers such as Carl Sagan... and !Malala@lemm.ee is one of the few public teachers who has left enough public material to get people to see the crisis in monomyth behaviors and interpretations. Trusting her would be a shortcut. She has excellent communications, but humanity avoids the truth she keeps saying.
The crisis is the amusement one, people are not interested at all or attracted to humanism. The sort of things Carl Sagan spells out in his Pale Blue Dot poem do not attract people, nor does Malala attract people to her ideas. People have to actually desire a better world and not just get off on hating people. It's the biggest step forward for humanity, and most have never even imagined it.
Nope. I do not see people grasping at all that this is an alternate reality game they are playing on Lemmy. That they are inside simulacra of resistance.
This is about James Joyce's monomyth, show me where people are relating that to Surkov techniques and writings.
If it was already here I would be building on it and not starting from scratch and going bottom up.
We are not going to escape these 5,000 artificial Russian religions without confronting what I quoted to you already about 1987 Skywalker Ranch interviews and the 3 main Levant monomyth religions. Which are artificial reality meme systems that the Kremlin built on top of.
Plenty of people will enjoy and adore living in alternate reality, that's human history, but I'm not. I don't enjoy the simulacra of resistance at all. This isn't fun, real reality is a horror show, and if you hate any person - if you hate Elon Musk or hate Donald Trump - you can not see that you too don't grasp Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's lessons about minds that hate not seeing clearly.
The 5,000 patterns of alternate reality from March 2013 that the Kremlin and Cambridge Analytica crafted since year 2022 have been fed into Large Language Models / machine training, so the number is basically endless now. Russia is not in control of this, it's a threat to all humanty. It's time to wake up to James Joyce's Finnegans Wake and Marshall McLuhan's teaching about Finnegans Wake or not. The Tower of Babel crisis has never been worse in human history because of what was unleashed in March 2013.
You tied me up for 6 hours about all how you don't like my personal style of post titles and how incompetent I am in communicating on Lemmy. That's 6 hours nobody is criticizing Russia against the Hybrid War itself.
Why didn't you spend the same time and create your own parallel Lemmy Community and title so much better and demonstrate the bigger Lemmy crowd and rescue people all over the world under Putin influence? Instead of punching down on my communications skills with your thinking labor and English prose?
Why didn't you fork the community and fight Russia instead of consume 6 hours of my thinking and feedback of what I explained to you over and over I already know I have core communications, thinking, and language differences? My First Reply to you personally I put forth that Marshall McLuhan says that my differences can be an advantage: "“The poet, the artist, the sleuth - whoever sharpens our perception tends to be antisocial; rarely “well-adjusted”, he cannot go along with currents and trends. A strange bond often exists between antisocial types in their power to see environments as they really are. This need to interface, to confront environments with a certain antisocial power is manifest in the famous story “The Emperor’s New Clothes”.” ― University of Toronto Professor Marshall McLuhan, The Medium is the Massage, March 1967" Where is your effort to rescue everyday human people ("We The People" of World Wide Web) from monster states like USA and Russia who have lost their hearts and minds to monomyth brain exploits that are now runaway in Large Language Models ((LLM) systems? You seem only concerned to punch down on me as a single individual with my media ecology failures and extreme brain damage from fighting this war since 2015 every day.
NATO / USA lost the Hybrid War that was launched in March 2013 against the World Wide Web.
Kremlin brags that only 1% of the manipulation Hybrid War content has been discovered and removed. NATO has entirely been unable to defend, 99% flies under the defense radar of Five Eyes (FVEY).
Russian military was able to completely get past USA FBI, CIA, NSA, and whatever else the Pentagon has. Competely unable to defend the population against Russian Hybrid Warfare. "For years, AIVD had access to the infamous Russian hacker group Cozy Bear. That's what de Volkskrant and Nieuwsuur have uncovered in their investigation." "the Dutch intelligence agency AIVD penetrated the computer network of a university adjacent to Red Square back in 2014, only to later realize they had tapped into APT29, aka Cozy Bear, one of the Russian government-affiliated organizations that penetrated the DNC and targeted other US government departments". "It was Dutch intelligence operatives that hacked into some of Russia's own institutions -- including their closed-circuit television cameras."
Putin and Surkov's "Operation Matthew 4:19" global manipulation of everyday people included turning social media consumers into Russian assets of the Hybrid Warfare who deliberately spread measles and COVID-19 virus during the pandemic. Johns Hopkins University and George Washington University validated evidence going back to year 2014.
Absolutely no defense has been found against this Hybrid Warfare since it was unleashed in March 2013. "At the NATO summit in Wales last week, General Philip Breedlove, the military alliance’s top commander, made a bold declaration. Russia, he said, is waging “the most amazing information warfare blitzkrieg we have ever seen in the history of information warfare.” It was something of an underestimation. The new Russia doesn’t just deal in the petty disinformation, forgeries, lies, leaks, and cyber-sabotage usually associated with information warfare. It reinvents reality, creating mass hallucinations"
I feel like you have a belief that because of neurodivergence, you need to be exempted from any criticism or disagreement. Because it becomes "punching down" and it's okay for you to lecture others at length, personally insult them, whatever you feel like, but never for them to raise any kind of objection to anything on your side.
That belief is wrong. Sorry. It's also unfair to anyone else in the conversation.
And yes, I have spent time on fighting Russian disinformation and trying to bring people's awareness to this problem. You decided to argue with me at incredible length, so I've been conversing with you, but none of it is an "attack" or "punching." It's just talking. In free societies, people are allowed to disagree with each other.
yha, you feel a lot of things that aren't true. You keep pissing egoism over and over. I'm not here for personal ego contests like Elon Musk and Donald Trump do with social machines.
Really don't mind if you sit this one out... My word's but a whisper your deafness a shout! I may make you feel but I can't make you think
I'm not gullible about your insincerity. What's your real name? My name is Stephen Alfred Gutknecht. I was born in 1969 in Columbus Georgia. Who are you?
Yha, you want to promote deception and falsehoods and insincerity of Donald Trump and Vlad Putin as "allowed"... which you are manipulating to mean welcome. "equal", both sides (True and False). I see your punching down on Truth again because you have found fiction to outsell non-fiction on social systems of April 2025. Inside the 5,000 Kremlin simulacra alternate reality screen games of social machines that were unleashed in March 2013 by the IRA.
Egoism is a hell of a drug. Look at the Kremlin and White House as they cheer on Palm Sunday wrecking of Ukraine by Russia.
You may notice in my previous message I said you have already consumed 6 hours of my attention and you aren't resisting Russia. Why can't you escape this particular thread and go respond on the topics I'm publishing all over the Internet? Nope. You just want to make this a conversation about two people, your own self and me. I'm focused on 8 billion people, the Mass Mind / Mass Man of society. The "Forest" and not two trees of you and me.

“Now this is a very serious affair. It is serious because these symbolic worlds were the supports of the civilizations, of the moralities of the civilizations, of the self-confidence of the civilizations, of the vitality and creative power of the civilizations. And with the cutting down, the frustrating of the self-confidence that derives from images of this kind, there is a disequilibrium within the society itself. And everyone is challenged in his loyalty—are you going to be loyal to the tradition, to the form, to the morality and myth of your society, or are you going to be loyal to truth? They are two different things.”- November 16, 1961 - Sarah Lawrence College for women, professor Joseph Campbell
This is what I mean by "strawman." Nowhere did I do any of that.
I'm not real interested in this conversation. Sorry.
Another insincere "sorry" bullshit. I can see clearly why you came along to insult and mock what you disagree with.
Not my fault you aren't aware of your own subconscious and how it works. AGAIN, I am not creating a strawman, I'm talking about your compulsive behavior that you seem to lack any awareness of.
I referenced Marshall McLuhan from the very first reply, have now spent a total of 7 hours thinking and responding to you about your messages.
I asked you for your name, I gave my real name, and you just keep saying "strawman strawman" over and over to say I'm made of straw and not a human person. My name is Stephen Alfred Gutknecht, I grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana - you treat people on the other end of social machines as "straw men". We, The People of the world, are in the middle of a mass dehumanization warfare environment in April 2025 at the hands of social machines, and all you can keep doing is responding about your own desires for message formatting on Lemmy and how "I’m not real interested in this conversation" about the Hybrid Warfare that the USA ( 0.341 billion people ) have lost to Russia / Putin / Kremlin.

You should see how they react on Reddit when I do it, their fragile egomania goes into a tailspin. They can't accept anything outside of HiveMind speak either.
You think I'm gullible. It is "conformity enforcement". The "Lemmy HiveMind" of April 2025 conventions.
Gee, you think? Does anything make anyone automatically right? You are just here to insult me, over and over. You know what makes me right... studying media ecology and knowing the difference between Internet culture year 2012 and year 2025. And what Russian information warfare has done to people's egoism.

Okay. You do you.
Gatekeeper, "granting permission".
your brain doesn't conform to the style and fashion I expect egoism. Like going around to people in public and telling them that their car isn't in style and fashion and they need to get a different color paint job for April 2025 society.
Maybe I'm not being LOUD ENOUGH for you? These are not entertainment topics. The situation in Untied States of America April 2025 is not trivial or minor, I can't possibly scream louder and be MORE ALARMED what is going on with the HiveMind / "Mob Mentality" / Group Thinking level of Society. This is not the time nor place to be making minor style choice concerns. Zombies abound who are deaf to the situation. My communication is as LOUD and BLUNT as possible...
