That’s because they’re still pushing the bullshit American Dream that with hard work soon those regular people will be wealthy too and then they’ll be taxed a lot themselves! Rush and Glenn haven’t caught on that the vast majority of American’s have called the bluff and see the dream as the bullshit it is

That's a fact. Days before the shutdown ended, Limbaugh actually said, "Mr. President, if you continue the shutdown for two more weeks, America will see it from your side". They really think they're going to win the public opinion by making people suffer.

One of the posts there has a "good" explanation: https://www.reddit.com/r/Transvestigation/comments/aazzya/i_think_my_biggest_question_is_what_do_hollywood/

quote:

Isn't their goal to get the population to unknowingly worship the baphomet by lusting after and idolizing the 'secret' transgenders? For example. . . A young girl sees Miley Cyrus on TV, idolizing her, perhaps wishing to be like her therefore worshipping her right? Or some guy might jerk it to one of the many trans porn stars ( asa akira ) for example and by doing that they are performing ritual and lusting after a man, also worshipping the baphomet. That's how I've come to understand part of their agenda.

So, more transgender people = more baphomet worship.

It basically is a variation on the crisis actor theory at its core. Vast swathes of the world are suddenly declared "not real", so since they're not real you can either:
1) go on and on about how X hero figure is really super good because they're the first person to do x, y, and z - even tho in reality there's thousands of people that did it first
2) use it to show how bad effects of this or that thing you support are being faked
3) use it to "prove" that its the illuminati covering things up

Christianity is simultaneously the most rewarding religion on Earth but also by far the most fragile and easy to stray off the path from. No wonder they love it. It's an uphill struggle to make it into Heaven!

I can almost see it with some of these believers in these ultra-crazy conspiracies. If it's really all true then there really is a sense of relief, because obviously you couldn't really be expected to make a difference against people who effortlessly control the world so you can just drop an 'I told you so' to people and then continue your life as it was before you fell into conspiracy land.

Also don't discount the performative aspect of all this. There's kind of an unspoken contest about who can support the weirdest stuff so they can go "How many levels of quackiness are you on/you are like a little child" so these echo chambers create these feedback loops where you have to be crazier and crazier to get noticed. Think if SMG was all about crazy conspiracies rather than Transformers movies.

Plus you care more about making the world a better place than being able to say you were right and other people were wrong.

You can tell almost all of these people really only care about the latter because if they actually earnestly believed there was a world-spanning conspiracy of child cannibals that controls all countries then violent opposition to that is not merely justified, it's the only moral choice you can make. Trusting some anonymous grifter on the internet that he and Donald Trump are totally dealing with it is just signaling that they know it's a LARP.

Kind of how I feel about pro-lifers. Like, if you though abortion was truly the systematic murder of hundreds of thousands of infants, you'd take up arms. That they don't kind of gives away the game.

I don’t know. Like, I do believe that several aspects of the American justice system are basically a new form of slavery, but I haven’t yet joined a modern Underground Railroad organization to free the nonviolent offenders who are spending life in prison because, like, there’s a feeling of powerlessness there, and I’m just kind of hoping that things will fix themselves, or be fixed by more motivated people. Maybe that’s similar to what anti-abortion people feel?

While our prison system is deplorable and I agree with you that it's a new form of slavery (in fact it's specifically exempted in the 13th) I don't think it's comparable to chattel slavery as practiced in the antebellum South. I think if that was happening on the scale that it was, people would take up arms. Because they did it was called the Civil War!

Antiabortion people are animated by their incredible hatred of women who escape their mechanisms of control. The baby thing is just a pretense so that they don’t have to examine their complex sadomasochism toward their wives or selves.

They do act in a manner consistent with their actual motives, which can simply involve indifference to the plight of others.

Well ask yourself, do they look like woman depicted on a postcard from the 1950's? No? Well then they clearly aren't female. Therefore trans.

Also important to remember that these boomers wear their pants just under the nipples, so they probably think that's where the waist is. Must be freaky seeing an actual full length torso.

the whole foundation of the republic was mostly complicated by doing everything possible to avoid taking up arms over what many, including some slave owners, acknowledged as a horrific situation

it took like 70-80 years for that to come to blows, and armed conflict was kicked off by slavers seeking to preserve the institution

once that escalation started, abolitionists responded in kind- but idk if somethings not a huge and widespread crime against humanity because nobody's started a shootin war over it yet

But that's not really what happened, the traitor states decided to rebel to keep slavery, and the northern states didn't allow their secession.
