The Third Rail of USA society in year 2025 is the egomania on display at the White House with Apple iPhone devices using the Signal app and the whole foundation of Joe Rogan / Elon Musk / Donald Trump / Tucker Carlson shit-bird Tweeting addiction on the Apple iPhone that all these adult males have.
They can not tell fiction from non-fiction and go into massive egomania over memes and Elon Musk X content. They are chuckleheads who trust any message they get on their iPhone. “What I had not realized is that extremely short exposures to a relatively simple computer program could induce powerful delusional thinking in quite normal people.” ― Joseph Weizenbaum, MIT researcher / expert, 1974

No, I have severe brain damage from all the memes and messages flowing out of Elon Musk’s DOGE / X media platform that is wrecking everybody around me in United States of America. You can read about it on my Mastodon and Bluesky profile.

Are you new to Lemmy? No, it says you joined: July 11th, 2023 and that you are “old, stupid” (according to your own profile). My profile has my name; here is what is on my user profile of my Lemmy social media account: Stephen Alfred Gutknecht.

“whomever” is pretty dehumanizing, man.
“Daddy Issues” - Tucker Carlson, Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Joe Rogan - and Grok xAI is their “Daddy” in the sky
They have media ecology problems of the highest order, they have “Daddy Issues” of blind-faith in cloud computing “Daddy” / “Sky Daddy” in the clouds sending them messages and apps. That’s why Elon Musk, leader of the Free World, is their meme drug dealer with xAI / Grok.
“The last weeks of Donald Trump’s successful campaign for president were a festival of crudeness. In light of this, Tucker Carlson’s warm-up act at a Georgia rally late last month was, if notably creepy, still typical of the sunken depths of rhetoric. Carlson offered an extended metaphor in which Trump was an angry “dad” with a household of misbehaving children (a 2-year-old who has smeared “the contents of his diapers on the wall,” “a hormone-addled” 15-year-old girl who has decided to “slam the door of her bedroom and give you the finger”). The children in this metaphor, if it wasn’t clear, are the citizens of this country.”
