Post Title: Was a little wokeness really that bad?
:::::: Reddit User Comment: ======
This is what I don’t get… the “right” likes to ask the question “do you want a man going into the bathroom with your daughter? What if they attack her?” If that happened my anger would be at sexual predators, not trans-people. It’s crazy to me that the “right” has a higher tolerance for sexual predators than trans-people just trying to live their lives. They knowingly elected one to be president.

There is so much mental programming from toxic religion clergy and billionaires. People on Reddit do not take seriously why the richest man in the world purchased Twitter. People on Reddit do not take seriously learning from Marshall McLuhan and Neil Postman. People on Reddit do not take seriously what Putin and Surkov have done with media systems and the Internet Research Agency. People don’t take Jen Senko seriously, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Brainwashing_of_My_Dad people don’t take Rupert Murdoch problem seriously. People don’t take Facebook fandom seriously. People don’t even fucking take Mecca global media empire seriously. There is no history teaching on media ecology or self-awareness of fiction running nations and science fiction addiction behaviors.
Trump was elected and has a massive USA following because Trump tells fiction storytelling. Truth Social is a fiction media empire. Twitter, Elon Musk, is a fiction storytelling media empire. Mecca, Saudi Arabia’s world leadership of Muslims - is a fiction media empire. Disney / Netflix / HBO - are all fiction media empires. Reddit is a fiction addict club.
“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. So the old bamboozles tend to persist as the new ones rise.” ― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark, 1995, page 241
“Finding the occasional straw of truth awash in a great ocean of confusion and bamboozle requires vigilance, dedication and courage. But if we don’t practice these tough habits of thought, we cannot hope to solve the truly serious problems that face us and we risk becoming a nation of suckers” ― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark, 1995, page 38
MAGA is a product of fiction storytelling by Cambridge Analytica and Russia’s Internet Research Agency https://github.com/RocketDerp/April14_2025/blob/main/Quotes_Pile/Cambridge_Analytica_Quotes.md and all the computer tech companies have jumped on the bandwagon of fiction storytelling. Humans have favored fiction for so long, people have taken it for granted. An anti-education, anti-adult learning, anti-women education, anti-Malala, anti-Wikipedia, anti-FAQ. A society that profits from constant low-effort commenting and rectangle sports games. Predictable rectangle square thinking.
The truly serious problems aren’t rectangle sports games. The real problems of “love one another” and marriages, and parenting, don’t fit into a video game logic of machines.

Elon Musk Twitter is a nation of suckers, Truth Social couldn’t be more fucking in your face that the Internet Research Agency has mind-fucked all you fucking suckers. Reddit eats it up, no-identity anti-FAQ anti-nonfiction anti-Wiki culture of turning all information into causal non-serious conversations.
“Science is more than a body of knowledge; it is a way of thinking. I have a (year 1995) foreboding of an America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time — when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what’s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness. The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30-second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance. As I write, the number-one videocassette rental in America is the movie Dumb and Dumber. “Beavis and Butthead” remain popular (and influential) with young TV viewers. The plain lesson is that study and learning — not just of science, but of anything — are avoidable, even undesirable.” ― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark, 1995, page 59
Beavis and Butthead. Reddit audience is the very people who turned the USA into “South Park” to watch on Reddit. Because Reddit audience can’t face your addition to fiction storytelling any more than Mecca Mohammad { Quran Bible Torah, Book of Mormon } science fictions fandom can face their South Park show. A nation of suckers! Donald Trump is an actor, Trump is acting, they are all acting to variations of SNL Tony Clifton character / NYC SNL of Trump’s hone town comedy empire where so many comedian like Donald Trump became world famous. Trump is a god damn performance artist! Bamboozled every one of you playing Tony Clifton character. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKTR8Yj5hg4 NYC SNL performer. AGAIN: Trump is an actor from NYC who plays POTUS Tony Clifton. Reddit eats it up. Surkov won.
Surkov won. Putin won. Russia won. NATO lost, look around at NATO in January 2026 and wake the fuck up to what Carl Sagan wrote in year 1995. Nation of suckers to Putin and Trump! They met in Alaska last summer, for fuck’s sake. Re-read and KEEP re-reading the quotes from Carl Sagan!
- Published January 2015, before Trump started run for office in June 2015: https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/01/putin-russia-tv-113960/ At one end of the table sat one of the country’s most famous political TV presenters. He was small and spoke fast, with a smoky voice: “We all know there will be no real politics,” he said. “But we still have to give our viewers the sense something is happening. They need to be kept entertained.” “So what should we play with?” he asked. “Shall we attack oligarchs? Who’s the enemy this week? Politics has got to feel like a movie!”
