New Rule: No Jews, No News Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO)

21. Well said.

It's the effect of sustained brainwashing aimed at certain populations - especially young progressive white and Asian people and the earthy-crunchy flavor of boomers. My kids and I are either part of or adjacent to these groups so I'm seeing this firsthand.

It makes sense that the billionaires (including but not limited to Putin, Musk, Zuckerberg, Bezos, Thiel, Mercer, Koch) would turn their propaganda now toward some of the historically most reliable Democratic voting blocs. They've totally brainwashed rural and conservative whites. Time to expand the reach.

I saw it begin in the early 2010s (when Putin established his dictatorship and attacked Crimea while the world yawned). DSA and other supposedly grass roots groups suddenly got huge influxes of cash and expanded exponentially. The atrocities and economic crash caused by W. Bush created fertile ground.

I noticed something about DSA and the other groups that started as an uneasy feeling and became very clear as a pattern. Local chapters that tried to focus on immediate local concerns, like organizing food drives or protecting immigrants, got derailed. The focus kept being disrupted and diffused into vague ideas and lots of infighting.

It became clear to me on October 8, 2023 that there was something very coordinated going on and it was aimed at defeating Biden and putting Trump back in the White House.

I have a personality that is skeptical (to the point of misanthropy) and I see patterns. I'm not very susceptible to emotional appeals so this particular flavor of propaganda doesn't work on me.

The billionaires have a lot of time and money. They will continue to come up with ways to destroy democracy by fooling voters into electing puppets. They want us all dead. They want a little world of extraordinarily wealthy compounds serviced by robots and slaves.
