"The Joke is On"

The Joke is on US. The Joke is US. The Joke of the world is the USA.

We had 4 years under Joe Biden to teach cult deprogramming. Instead, we shared more kitten images (which is not a real kitten, but an image) and mocked MAGA instead of rescuing MAGA from message cults. Anti-MAGA is now a cult too in 2024 and year 2025!

It started with the Putin Media Invasion in March 2013 of the World Wide Web information systems / social machine systems. 5,000 cult patterns were deployed of anti-reality.

The "Donald Trump 1D checkers joke" is that Vlad Putin and Vlad Surkov were playing 32D Chess, and people mocking Donald Trump checkers was the joke. Now we are DFW's nightmare realized on the world stage. All the world being that WWW stage. Die By Absurd Surreal Comedy, We The People Were Warned

NOTE: like most my writing and organization these days, pretty low-quality work. I'm so burned out / brain damaged by the never-ending Trumpism behaviors of USA population. Neil Postman nightmare I'm living in.

I may rework the whole page, maybe someone else rewrite it. But I'm being up front that I find no joy or pleasure documenting the mass psychosis of a population I wish would choose to exit and "Wake The Fuck Up" to Peter Pomerantsev writings of year 2014.

"In a competitive authoritarian system, a leader comes to power democratically and then erodes the system of checks and balances. Typically, the executive fills the civil service and key appointments — including the prosecutor's office and judiciary — with loyalists. He or she then attacks the media, universities and nongovernmental organizations to blunt public criticism and tilt the electoral playing field in the ruling party's favor." - https://www.npr.org/2025/04/22/nx-s1-5340753/trump-democracy-authoritarianism-competive-survey-political-scientist

5 word Twitter reply, 6 world Twitter reply.

All this does is further the name-calling of 1980's where everyone you disagree with is a communist. It's anti-understanding, anti-education, anti-teaching in favor of MAGA values of mockery. Everything Neil Postman described about Twitter in his 1985 book "Amusing Ourselves to Death". The Reddit Society is mockery-washing the need to teach hard-core remedial morality. Standing up for more mocking and mockery is joining in with the anti-goodness of the Russian information warfare. Far better to go down with the ship standing up for education and begging for a better future based on goodness. Reddit community takes goodness and comprehension for granted when world history across all parts of the world shows peace and goodness should not be taken for granted. Education and teaching that builds a society where people understand their own role in helping others create goodness is important. Like Fox News audience, Reddit society has joined in with the mocking of Americans vs. Americans instead of facing up to the role technology itself has played in dehumanizing as Neil Postman explains.

People on Twitter do not understand the value of limiting the power of President Trump. Just like Fox News audience does not understand. Neil Postman explains all this in his 1985 book. It will not be trivial or easy to turn around, and unlike Nazi Germany and Japan after world war two, the rest of the world isn't likely to "rescue" the USA from bad self-harm and aggression values. We are far better to face up to our own Reddit society problem and address it now before we become more hate-filled mockery of goodness.

Only one Reddit user asks for citation, given a runaround answer, no upvote in first hour to sincere question of fact-checking and integrity. Front page posting.

Reddit society constantly adopts the language and style of Donald Trump. Reddit society mimics and reproduces Donald Trump, constantly entertained and amused by Donald Trump actions and communications.

Reddit society does not understand or show self-awareness of Neil Postman's 1985 "Amusing Ourselves To Death" behaviors of mimicking and using Donald Trump as a role model. Neil Postman's book was written when Ronald Reagan had the same audience reaction among some people, not that is way worse with Donald Trump and Reddit users / society of Reddit consumers.

People find Surkov / Surkovian information warfare amusing and entertaining on Reddit electric media systems, that Donald Trump content creator gives them a constant stream of mockery and mocking.

Reddit society has no-identity people mocking people with real identity who have media power. Stand up for the Big Guys in media, while Reddit society self-dehumanizes and abuses people constantly with powerful media system of Reddit itself.

Entertainment mockery is not called out as a Surkov / Surkoviain information warfare. Instead, a never-ending stream of mocking and mockery - joining in with MAGA values - all Americans joining in with Kremlin Russian information warfare since March 2013.

Yes, Reddit and politicians in USA had mocking and mockery before March 2013. But the Internet Research Agency has weaponized it to a point people can only see trees and not the forest of total mockery of the 5,000 anti-reality screen games.

Just like average people can handle some booze and drink, but USA has a extremely serious chronic Donald Trumpism / MAGA / Fox News mockery problem that has taken over as amusement and funny humor absurd exploits of all human brains, we have lost an information war and are in such a meme stupor every day because of what people do with free time and spare time on Reddit encouraging more of it, more mockery.

The problem with this bi-polar 1-bit logic thinking, is it skips mass mind. It's like saying someone's choice (man or woman) to trust and believe Donald Trump - an American trusting American Donald Trump is simply an individual choice.

People on Reddit society sometimes talk about the "Reddit Hive Mind' but can't generalize it beyond "Facebook bad", "Fox News bad", and discuss seriously the mechanics of peer pressure and chains of trust in groups of people.

Always blaming the individual is what wealthy people (Rupert Murdoch, Donald Trump, Elon Musk, etc, etc) promote as the cause of anyone who can't pick themselves up by their own individual bootstraps.

And education is not all equal. Reddit society itself avoids Neil Postman understand of Reddit entertainment venue framing all things as entertainment / amusing. An information war has been lost because Reddit society can't break free of mocking individual trees (women in this case) vs. the mob mentality depicted in the comic itself! There is no discussion of Marshall McLuhan (mass man), Neil Postman, Howard Bloom (mass mind) until EVERYONE in society gets on this critical and important same-page regarding MAGA / Fox News audience / White House / Kremlin / Putinism / Surkov governing.

“[It] is not that television is entertaining but that it has made entertainment itself the natural format for the representation of all experience. […] The problem is not that television presents us with entertaining subject matter but that all subject matter is presented as entertaining.

"I'm tired of the homophobia expressed towards Karl Anthony Towns"

bro is just soft spoken and doing his thing. It doesn't fucking matter what his sexuality is because there are no out players in the nba. I can see why - any time someone slightly dips into a high voice, or dresses different, they are ostracized. I have seen multiple clips of NYC street interviews, 'give us your best KAT impression," they're doing the same gay voice that was a played joke 10 years ago when I was in high school. You can hear the hate dripping from it. Just got a clip of Lonzo Ball getting interviewed by Cameron Brink - egging him on to make fun of KAT and he won't and Brink just starts doing the voice. What the hell is wrong with people? Do they just not understand how fucking rude they seem? it's funny to see clips of Kat, whatever, but the entire media apparatus is borderline bullying bro right now for something he doesn't even publicly identify as. It's disgusting.

edit: all the replies too scared to say some real choice words and catch a reddit ban. we used to have a word for "zesty" online in the 2010s too, and it wasn't necessarily coming from a place of bigotry - we just used it to keep other guys in check about what was acceptable behavior. same thing happening here, just being typed by way softer hands who can't stand behind what they're actually making fun of.

[–] RoundSparrow@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

we used to have a word for “zesty” online in the 2010s too

Google search AI:

"Yes, in the 2010s, "zesty" was used online, but not necessarily as a synonym for "energetic" or "spicy". The term "zesty" was used online in a specific, often mocking and offensive way to describe someone who was perceived as being overly feminine or gay. It was used to demean or insult someone, not to convey a positive or energetic feeling. A Reddit thread discusses this usage, stating that calling someone zesty when they are being energetic might not be well-received, especially by younger people."

Never enough examples that we are living in a media mania society. Donald Trump's power is Twitter mania, media mania, Reality TV mania, etc.

It isn't even just USA, it's happening in UK with sexuality. Harry Potter author J. K. Rowling, etc.

"Conservative International 2013" started "Operation Matthew 4:19" in late 2012 to troll everyone and bully everyone. Children have been raised that Donald Trump "grab them by the pussy if you are a NBA star" as role model since 2013. Billionaires own these sports teams, I used to work on private staff for NBA team owner in media systems. People have no clue they are being manipulated like shooting fish in a barrel - acting like it is only "other media" and not Reddit society too. The Internet is not independent of humanity, it isn't artificial, Donald Trump has been proof enough of walking talking Twitter values.

Look at October 7, 2023 with Palestine and Gaza. Ukraine war going on by Russia since 2014. How many more examples does the Reddit society need to see that morality crisis of people flocking to badness is widespread trending? And sports-washing billionaires is happening with FIFA, NBA, NFL, Formula 1, etc, etc, etc. Donald Trump is the role model of people on Reddit society who preach fuck you-money is awesome.

How many more examples do you need to see across the world that "fuck you money" and "fuck you popularity" ends up being the powerful punching down on the poor and unusual who don't conform? "Stand Up For The Big Guy" Donald Trump / Elon Musk values.

Reddit society constantly compartmentalizes changes in society into subreddit perspective. Homosexuality mass dehumanization is across EVERY part of society. Mass dehumanization of poor people is happening across all of USA. Not just sports and Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Forest is not being seen for trees.

Reddit front page, 50501 community

https://old.reddit.com/r/50501/comments/1kukfi9/remember_when_biden_pointed_out_that_republicans/

Reddit society bends over backwards every day to normalize Donald Trump White House techniques and tactics. To normalize it so nobody defends against it, too amused and entertained mocking it.

Reddit is a cult of insulting Americans to serve the Surkov / Surkovian information warfare and avoid sustained study of Information Warfare itself, to always avoid Peter Pomerantsev, a cult of using free time and spare time on Reddit to insult and shit-talk injured and fallen Americans.

TITLE: "Remember when Biden pointed out that republicans wanted to kill Medicare and they all yelled and heckled him? Ironic…"

Remember how Surkov ran Russia in year 2013? Remember how Reddit in May 2025 mocks and heckles Republicans just like your title describes? Simulacra, social media systems being used to be entertained and amused at the situation instead of educating about information warfare of enemy nation Russia. Instead of standing up against ALL BULLSHIT and ALL MANIPULATORS, just the Americans you disagree with. That's how the information warfare works.
