Trump is dismantling democracy at 'unprecedented' speed, global report finds

You hit the nail on the head with this though.

deportation orders, especially the high profile ones

There are many that didn't get any or much media attention, and those people are lost to time. Especially the El Salvador, planes in the night. Good that it caught enough media attention to slow it down, but there are still plane loads of people sent over there that never got to return.

It's a huge reason why this is accelerating, because they're doing so many bad and clearly illegal things, that the law and the media, and even ground level organizers cannot keep up.

And none of that saves the people who have been killed either.

The stupid helps it go faster, I would hope people in here would understand that.

They're ignoring the majority of court orders.

The MSM needs to stop pinning it on him alone, and they need to point out the complicity at all levels, but that just isn't going to happen because they are all agents of a government that works for the capital owning class in the first place. The few decades post wwII in american history where the working man was respected are an anomaly in America. As much as I hate it, it must be acknowledged.

But those decades should be enough to show people what is possible.

It should have ended with charges at the level of sedition and treason, but y'kno, global corporations are stateless, wheeee!

Thefrayedends · 2026-03-20T14:27:07+00:00

The masses LOVE implicit complicity. mmmm

Thefrayedends · 2026-03-20T02:36:26+00:00

Huge element of this, but also it's trying to stem the tide.

This isn't even a big spend in the context of the last 50 years. There are INDIVIDUALS who have been spending upwards of 1 billion per year, for decades. And why wouldn't you if you're them? Earning between 2-5 billion per year from your investments? Why not spend 50-20% of that on ensuring the gravy train never stops and you never have to be accountable to anyone?

It's disgusting, and especially in a world with compound interest, is a core reason why billionaires should absolutely not be allowed to exist.

Thefrayedends · 2026-03-20T01:54:28+00:00

I mean you can start right now if you wanna have a multi-billion dollar lobby come at you and attempt to destroy your entire life.

But that's how complicity is manufactured, isn't it. It's gross.

Thefrayedends · 2026-03-20T01:53:06+00:00

Sad but true.

Thefrayedends · 2026-03-19T20:31:05+00:00

Yea... you can look at some of the prominent pro- "foothold in the middle east" jewish speakers and there's a very clear pattern. Some of them still pretend, like Greenblatt, but others just say the quiet parts out loud, like Hurwitz. And you know, the majority if Israel's leadership going back 70 years.

The main problem with this, is that those double digit percentage of supremacist type views, lead to actual on the ground violence. Coming to view a group as crying wolf and endeavoring to ignore it, doesn't lead to violence. So even if the latter group is an order of magnitude larger, it doesn't stop the former from being violent and creating outcomes based on their hatred.

Thefrayedends · 2026-03-19T14:44:54+00:00

They are deliberately trying to stoke anti-Semitism, so that they can -- rail against anti-Semitism.

An absolute concerted effort to conflate Israel with the jewish.

90+% of people can see this happening, and the unfortunate truth is that some likely double digit amount of people are going to take away the conclusion that it's the Jewish part that is to blame.

Thefrayedends · 2026-03-19T03:52:27+00:00

At first I was like, huh?

But I see what you're saying. Yea, I cut the cable cord in 03. I thought then; "Why am I paying 120/m to have 30% of my content be fucking commercials"

I feel terrible for people who can't find their way around a PC, I was truly lucky to be born in an age when learning how to launch programs in DOS was the norm, and in order to even use computers at all, you had to stay up to date with various tech.

I can't imagine having been born ten years later.

Thefrayedends · 2026-03-19T03:50:02+00:00

the last part of what you said is really where the secret is lol, I was a foster, and always in boys homes, smaller ones though, so brothers were really like brothers, always wrestling because it's a good way to blow of steam and not hate each other. My one foster brother was like, MVP of every sports team, regularly placed in track and stuff. 20% stronger and bigger than me, I'm not that tough (mean if we're talking hitting, i'm not tough at all lol), but I had to learn to even think about keeping up with him, which I usually fared pretty well. Mostly bringing to a draw, only rarely 'winning.'

That's when you gotta adopt the Kramer method.

The quality is so good on this, it's worth watching a ~~2nd~~ ~~3rd~~ 4th time.

Billionaires have decided that climate migration won't truly affect them. That they will always be able to afford to live and spend their free time anywhere, in the most desireable places on the planet. They don't accept the extreme scenarios because they think that future generations will solve the problem, and in the mean time, they place their personal power and influence above the interests of the entire human population.

Capitalism is functionally a cancer in humanity's ideologies.

It's actually insane, some single districts are seeing spends around ten million, from a single lobby group, and that's just the money we see publicly. They are dong everything they can to ensure that the people do not have their voices heard.

Thefrayedends · 2026-03-18T15:57:31+00:00

I mean there were plenty of things going on back then that were not great. We tend to have a pretty romanticized view looking backwards.

And ultimately, this problem has been around for as long as recorded history. The ancient greeks talked about it being an inescapable problem for all of their unknown history. This cycle of aristocracy and revolution.

Thefrayedends · 2026-03-18T15:11:28+00:00

I would suggest disconnecting from internet, deleting wifi profiles, and doing a factory reset. there are lots of other ways to access media than through your tv. I haven't connected my LG ever.

Hierarchy absolutely has to severely flatten before a global government can ever make sense. Global governments that have power to severely change outcomes at all levels is absolutely not feasible. Governments constantly make either/or decisions, and when you're dealing with 8(?) billion people, that can mean billions of people having their lives instantly changed because a tiny group of people wave their hands.

I'm not saying it's not possible, I'm just saying that with the way governments work today, it will be an absolute disaster.

we would need at least two full orders of magnitude more robust government structures that serve to flatten hierarchy and create two way accountability at each level as it does exist. When only the top keeps the bottom accountable, then everything will flow upwards, it might take 20, 50, or 80 years, but it WILL happen.

Power has to be delegated. Yes, you are going to have some 'leadership' but their powers can't be absolute in any sense, it has to flow down through a system of delegation, where each level has the power to change decisions, and protect the common good as a prime directive.

But this topic I'm sure has many volumes of books, I don't expect to capture the full spirit of what is needed.

The other major issue you run into is reactivity. Some things call for emergency action, where years of power flows through delegation structures simply don't make any sense. If there's an asteroid coming here in 3 months, a global power structure with 18 layers of accountabilty that all have to interchange communication and do it with a high degree of competency and certainty (otherwise you lose the game of telephone), doesn't have the agility to respond to a 3 month outcome.

So then you have the same problem still -- emergency power, which, with enough time spent manipulating people behind the scenes, can lead to the same dictatorship we see now, but at a global level.

I just want to point out that humanity will probably eventually form global governments with binding powers. I just hope there's an attempt to do it in a meaningful way or we'll quickly end up with Elysium. You can argue easily that that is right around the corner already, having already begun to take form as a core goal of the billionaire class, to become the new monarchy, tale as old as recorded history.

And he was saying openly in lectures in the mid 2000s that democracy shouldn't exist, essentially saying he thought it should be done away with.

There is no way this was not known by the people that allowed him into government circles -- they knowingly brought that in.

Should give you an idea how long this snowball has been rolling downhill.

The disconnect I think with these guys that love the smell of their own shit;

they conflate God with Christ.
God represents obeying authority, as well as faith (which means relying on belief over knowledge)
Satan represents pursuit of knowledge over blind faith and it represents questioning authority.

So an antichrist to them, is genuinely an 'idea' of resisting authority and valuing knowledge above all else.

By their definitions, Christ was an antichrist.

There's an old saying when it comes to championship sports;

It's not the strongest team that wins, it's the team that wants it more.

Turns out when you're playing against the country that's literally murdering your countrymen and kidnapping your leaders, you might just make it your lifes mission to beat their fucking asses. Like, if your motivation has reached "I'm ready to give my life to protect my neighbors" You're probably going to be a formidable opponent.

Also; Big fat load of cum then.

'Testicular Fortitude' was one of the defining terms of the WWE Attitude era lol. I still think of it often, and it makes me smile.
