Trump Is About to Bet the Economy on a Theory That Makes No Sense
It makes a lot of sense if you study year 2013 and early 2014.
Start with: "Putin is clearly winning Russia’s hybrid war against the U.S. because Americans don’t understand how they are being manipulated. One of the main difficulties" - December 11, 2020 - "The Heritage Foundation"
“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”
― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark, 1995
I got banned from Reddit for 10 days suggesting to throw the Americans out of Greenland because it was racism. The mods in some political communities on Reddit are literally a kindergarten. Some ban you if you try to ridicule Russians when they attack or make of fun of others. I would even say that it has become more and more toxic. Hope, Lemmy will never go this path. Otherwise they will remain only 4chan.
