True, it's a very old trick, but it has been turned up to 11 with social media and 24/7 TV "news."

It only makes sense if you've been brainwashed into believing the USA is at the edge of collapse. But not due to extreme capitalism profiting some very few, extremely wealthy individuals but because migrants and woke culture are somehow destroying the religious, conservative white majority.

It's horrible but I've got to admire the brilliance of the ultra-wealthy of pitting most of us against each other while they accumulate more wealth than ever before at our expense.

So much information on everything available at our fingertips but I never imagined what social media would do to us. We are such easily manipulated monkey's that with foresight it seems obvious they would exploit it for their own gain.

That's not gaming anymore than people buying toys, leaving them in their boxes as an "investment" are into playing with toys.

Meanwhile the rest of us are buying games, playing them, enjoying them, moving on to other games and so on.

Something thankfully not all French-speaking countries agree. But the ground apple is pretty much universal. The alternative "patate" is also widely used,

Stuff from the "new world" (Americas) often got some weird names. Like the "Indian chickens" (turkeys).

Better off burning more cash to pay cops overtime to clear a homeless camp. It's not like the homeless can just come back. /s

His small role in Civil War was so creepy and memorable.

German conspiracy wackos and American ones have a lot in common.

During COVID their bullshit ven diagram was a flat circle.

No need for dog whistles anymore, they've moved on to airhornes.

It's complicated. They are three but they are one according to their dogma.

For me it's a bullshit threshold: if you swallow this paradox, you'll be ready to accept more.

Just like the "Nigerian prince scams". Yes, they are obviously a scam to most of us. But to the few ignorant/naive people who don't, they're the victims worth pursuing by the scammers. We are not the audience.

That's better but not that by much. A few years ago Germany raided some very rich and very well-armed wackos who wanted to bring back the Kaiserreich.
