dnd is built on the insanely flawed premise that you can talk someone out of an incorrect position with logic and reason. the only way to convince anyone of anything is to make them think it was their idea

Prester was also pretty much right, the ideas just were not as novel as they thought

Obama should have been and needed to be discredited in the years after his presidency. Sadly, he was not and so will continue to haunt us for decades.

I always handle this by saying from the perspective of representation and how we see ourselves as a nation he was important, and that he dogfucked us worse than Reagan did on policy.

that works because it gets people initially open to what you’re gonna say; he was important to our national self image! and I’m not here to tell black people how to feel about having a black president. it’s also extremely difficult to call you racist after you say that then immediately pull up black homeownership charts.

Hey, I think your vibes are right but they're not wrong that you write like you're having a mental break. They would still call you schizophrenic if you were presenting your ideas in a coherent manner but also you're currently expressing them in hard to parse run on sentences and presenting them as novel and unique observations when lots of people have written about and have thoughts on the idea that as the world has become more complicated we've done more and more to retreat into fantasy worlds that give us a sense that we control and understand it all. It's also not a uniquely American or Western phenomenon.

Uh so yeah, good vibes but read some books you can reference and refine those ideas into something you can express in a way that isn't run on disjointed sentences

people being unwilling to dedicate any amount of time thinking on the most important geopolitical event in human history doesn't mean im having a mental break it means they're in denial or being lazy

if i left anything out, they would bring that gap up and ignore everything else i said, its the only way d&d operates so i just was going for a logical framework of many simple things that aren't disputable being added together to break through the denial brain on volume and merit to familiarize them with the idea

imo american individualism is actually a unique global-capital hegemon-phenomenon that creates a genuine mental handicap as long as you stay in that state

you don't have an accurate perspective of the world bc it's just never an accurate method of thought - it's using the wrong metrics, doesn't measure, people can't project individualized thought onto groups of people, its not not how they work and you can't predict outcomes that way because they're a statistical distribution and not a person, thinking about them like they are a person making a single decision consciously removes the part where math occurs

they're thinking about #1 or maybe thinking about an imagined "other" in a stereotype outfit deciding to do a thing that's not how anything works, people aren't rational actors in groups, and groups are the actors controlling what happens, not individuals.

people Literally aren't able to do the math on that + unemployment and housing and firearms in the USA and think that more other people cannot be as scary as them and think that groups of desperate people won't exhibit the same behavior that they always have, or that there's a special economic decline app that brings in goods when people don't have jobs and aren't producing goods and the pool of labor and their compensation shrinks in relation to the overall population as it grows along with cost of living

if you remind them of this, they'll call you a schizophrenic - they think they can calmly drive the wheels of destiny with force of calm will

people think things are more complicated than this but they're not

the flaws and cut corners of an individualist worldview are really obvious once you notice the fake construct of "I" who "does " stuff with a bunch of emotional stuff tied to it when you are actually making payments with a card or writing instructions to someone else and performing no task yourself
this compounds upon itself to create collectively individualized institutions and that's why our political system is full of narcissists, it self-selects for them while they're all blind to being able to see this
everyone makes their own systems with only themselves in mind and that does not work, of course it's going to seem like things are really complicated they're broken
It doesn't mean everything is complicated though it just means people are playing pretend and wrote themselves into a corner

i don't think the world has gotten more complicated in any way people fundamentally have not changed since 1750, 1450, 450, things only happen faster, life isn't tv, people do the same poo poo they Always have, and pretending that's changed in any meaningful way or that people won't continue this path to a collapse and revolution is insane there's No other path for China as a state actor capital is the greatest threat to ever exist, Russia has infinite historical reason to have that same position as a state as does Iran, Yemen, NK
like this isn't gonna stop at the last second so the themesong can play and america can refill the health bar
there's simply no place for that to come from, there's no group to make that happen once the pyramid starts to collapse from the top. capital is all heirarchy, once its imploding in the us it'll fall apart everywhere

imo people just want a reason to think their system wasn't really this weak all along, or that american capital is important than More people in China disagreeing and want to think that they can be white about it to get their way or that something is only important if they agree - that is a cognitive delay created by individualism, it is making them retarded
