You can't change anybody else's mind, that's just the illusion of control. The only way to truly warp somebody's value system is to captivate them and set an example for them to follow and lead by. Obviously this works in the opposite dimensions as well, which is how you end up with cult leaders, warlords, religious figures, etc. But it isn't top down, all cults hinge fundamentally on the consent of their followers, that's why it's so frustrating and complicated, it's like trying to talk someone out of a clearly abusive relationship. You'll never be able to reason them out of a situation they did not reason themselves into in the first place But as long as there is that unmet need, a figure will come along to fill the vacuum, which is why we need to not fixate so much on Trump the human being, but address the deeper underlying conditions that necessitate opprotunist vultures like him

I’m a 41 year old Native American living in a small town of about 4000 people in northern Nevada. I was born and raised here and honestly since 9/11 I’ve seen everyone here just slowly getting more and more unhinged and willing to be hateful towards others regardless of their beliefs. I’ve been ignoring interactions with people since trump’s first presidential election and I’ve really been avoiding people since Covid. It’s not a great time but the best option I have to myself and to everyone is to just ignore them and move on with your day the best way you can. We need each other more than ever before we need to stand up and fight for our rights and give a voice to people who can’t or are too afraid to speak out.

[@arcanah02]

I don’t have too much to add, however I do believe there is some evidence to point towards to validate this. That being Bluesky. Back when I moved to Bluesky, there was a moderate exodus of people leaving to the app from Twitter. The amount of people right-wing adjacent who moved to try and bother the same “liberals” (cause everything remotely left is either liberal or communist to them), and “commies” was pretty significant, and despite for years hearing them whine about wanting leftists gone. The moment they got that reality they could not handle it. Making “libs of Bluesky” pages and complaining that Bluesky’s block feature actually works because they can’t get their hate fix. As F.D has said, they require an opponent. If you use that fighting energy to actually do good in the world, helping the marginalized and educating yourself on ways to move yourself away from America’s (and the world’s) conservatism, they will genuinely lose themselves. Side Note: As I was about to post this comment I remembered how a video I saw by the KZbinr Shaun (Skull Pfp with sunglasses in case I got the name wrong) displayed countless times of the right-winger outrage which anyone growing up during that time would remember. The “woke mob gets destroyed by facts” videos that are somehow still popular amongst those people. They really do require attention to sustain themselves.

[@matthouston875]

There's one flaw to that - they NEVER run out of momentum. Every reactionary movement in history has relied on their version of "rage bait" to sustain themselves, and their leaders understand this on a deep level. Hence, whenever they feel that "momentum" slowing, even just a little, they just turn to an endless list of new enemies and conspiracies to keep their base on board. And their base always eats it up because, on a very deep level, they don't want the ride to end either. This is why almost every despot in history has either died in their office or bunker, or had to be dragged out by their teeth. I don't know what to do either. I've been trying to reach out and reconnect with ppl I know who became quasi Trump ppl after they were big supporters of ppl like RFK Jr (they often like Jimmy Dore too). I don't think they're fully on board with Trump, but I don't want to rush in with any big "I told you so" or start bashing RFK or Tulsi, just more trying to 1.) become friendly again and 2.) leaving room for them to see some of the ridiculousness on their own, and giving gentle encouragement when they do. I think the main thing that turns ppl like them off is when they feel like ppl r talking down to them, so I'm just trying to give them something I feel liberals weren't - respect. I hope it helps, because we desperately need to take some wind out of these sails before the ship is completely lost.

@@GringoXalapeno It's difficult to give examples, since what US has is the product of many decades of absolute capitalism, which is something no country in Europe has(it's always tempered with forms of socialism and human-centered policies). Ideas that may seem weird and "too woke" in US, are normal everyday thoughts in Europe, and concepts like "attacking politicians if they don't do the bare minimum, without being k1lled" are real. For example, when there was that flood in Spain, the locals tried to lynch both the governor and the vestigial king when they came to visit, because they correctly blamed them for inaction, and not notifying the locals of the incoming flood. Did any of the californians that had their houses burned down or even the texans that froze their as+es last winter, react in a similar way to their guilty politicians visiting them? There is also the typical "money=superior intellect" that is born of american capitalism, that permeates every aspect of live, and is the base of the worship of power, that is much less present in european cultures.

Ever since the whole DEI thing I've been looking at Trump differently lowkey. I don't think it's that he doesn't like one race over the other (he likes anyone with money and who agrees with him and dislikes those that don't more than anything). But the way he was willing to spin that Helicopter crash as potentially a DEI thing (which has an implication of race), knowing it would effect the way people get hired in the future to save himself from whatever the truth is is just really unsavory.

[@Fauxintellectual122]

You should read his nieces book: “Too much and never enough” by Mary L Trump. He was raised to never appear as a loser, no matter what. His ego has been fed since childhood at the expense of his older brother, Fred Jr, who was, in my opinion, a light that was constantly dimmed by that family. Mary is his daughter. Leave it to the black sheep’s child to write about the family and how Trump never cared about anyone but himself. Fred Sr was the same and got treated accordingly when he had dementia and Trump (and Robert, the youngest) cast him aside.

That kind of "dont feed the trolls" mentality is how Germany passed The Enabling Act in 1933 We definitely shoukdnt be getting into online fights with Trumpers or wasting time trying to convince MAGA cultists but part of the reason he got re-elected is that he did so many terrible things that it was easy to forget and hard to keep up with all of it We need to stay aware and vigilant on everything the President of the United States does especially when hes a damn fascist.

8:56 Second Thought made a video about how doomerism is good for capitalism. May not be what FD is referring to exactly but a good watch nonetheless.

[@joekotlarsic4360]

I agree sounds like something from JT of the Deprogram Podcast. Also reminds me of Mike from PA (twitch.tv/Central_Comittee) "Doomerism is the last stage of your liberalism"

Worth mentioning that JT from Second Thought was "invited to leave" the Nebula service being advertised in this vid because he stands with Palestine.

[@whym6438]

@@diegowushu Except that's not what happened, is it? What he said was more in line with "there are no Israeli civilians, they are all acceptable targets." Most Nebula creators are pro-Palestine (FD, Abigail Thorn, etc). Second Thought got kicked out for being antisemitic.

JT is a bit campist on Ukraine

Hi! Great vid as always, I just have a small techical note on this one: the "woosh" sound effects on your pictures were pretty loud and had a really deep sound, exactly like someone breathing to close to a microphone; I spent two full minutes checking if I hadn't a discord call or other sound interference somewhere before realizing it was coming from the sound effects. Have a nice day!

Thank you for turning me onto Nebula. I recently joined and your discount was a nice surprise! Starting my day listening to something new and interesting has helped protect my peace of mind with all the chaos going on in this country. Is there a way to gift a year subscription to family members? 🙏🏽❤

Was asking myself why the nebula section was noticeably unedited. I almost commented "there's usually clips of the video or graphics here. Did unc lose an editor?" Then it popped up again and I bursted out laughing
