    I even wonder if it’s some sort of coordinated mass manipulation to prevent the increasingly radicalizing people from taking out the groups in power, by letting them fight against the older ones, while they prepare younger fascists to run the place, but that would be too much of a conspirational thought.

    It’s not much of a conspirational thought; it’s common sense blanket chaff laying.

    Ageism, racism, and ableism are easy and timeless levers to pull. Who did the Nazis blame for their problems (besides Jews, their own built-in trifecta of isms)?

    Edit: Nazis are just topical; pick any other axis power. Pick any civilization on Earth whilst they were getting their subjugating in, for that matter. I speak of human nature “always has been.jpg” monkey reaction shit.

    Othering works best when it’s programmed to work at a glance, and as demographics shift, age becomes as useful as racism to manipulate if you’re being paid by a handful of shit stains coordinating their self-defined supremacy (Billionaires. I mean the oligarchical dragons who own the information outlets).

    Too much of a conspirational thought? Please. It’s not even worth a line item in Repub Think Tanks strategy meeting; it’d be like saying the sky is blue or money makes you worthy for that kind. Axiomatic.

    I mean, you’re 99% correct imo.

    But it’s not the voting power they’re afraid of losing though.

    “We” (read, anyone even one iota to the left of what passes for American Centrism/Liberalism) doesn’t even stop to consider what “we” would do with a voting majority over the status quo voter example (Christian, White, Male) because that’s just not how “our” brains on average are structured.

    “They” would get exactly what they deserve; adequate everything and a shot at the pursuit of liberty as equitable as can be honestly delivered.

    That’s not what “they” vote for in the pursuit of maintaining their stranglehold over that teensy bit of extra power; they fear what they would vote for because their interests would see them vote the existence of the “other” away.


  • Ghosts are not matter. Thus they must be energy. But they’re still not massless. Uh uh, ghost wishes are like magnetism and uh…yeah, ghost wishes change axial drift, but only relative to things the spirit perceives as greater… fuck I need coffee to make this work.
