I call this passive aggressive positivity. I'm sure there's a better term about this. It's when people weaponize the general emotion or concept of positivity to deflect criticism or gaslight the person as negative. It's a common tactic used on social media, typically from women.

There's a video game that explores this tactic: We Happy Few. It takes place in a dystopian English town where the state can detect if somebody is "unhappy" and the "happy citizens" revolt against the unhappy. They use pills (or spells I believe) to brainwash its citizens to have "joy." Somebody could probably explain that video game better than me.
In "We Happy Few," the reason that the people of Wellington Wells make and take Joy (the hallucinogenic drug you mention) is because they're trying to collectively forget they gave the Germans in WWII all of their children 13 and under in exchange for not being invaded. Just something to think about with all this talk of joy and abortion.
 
The romans actually taxed their holdings, recruited from them, directly governed over them and demand tribute from their client states. When is the last time Britain or France coughed up the dough for America?
We work more indirectly, we let our Client states pretend they're independent, but NATO is effectively America's bitch. We force "culture" down their throats. You'll also note that I said we're bad at it, the US State Department is joke populated by Ivy Leaguers with more connections than sense. If you really want to stretch the definition, then America is a multi-national Empire kept together by the force of arms, just ask Dixie.

There's nothing wrong with it, Empire is not a term with any inherent moral value, it's what we get for being the sole superpower and de facto world hegemon. We're just not a people with a culture or a government that's suited for it, it more or less happened by default after the Euros bled themselves white in two World Wars. And now none of them can project power, only America can. Funny that.

This is something I wondered about, Kennedy has so much LA cache it will ruin him and his wife in Hollywood by endorsing Trump. Even though his wife's never going to get a real role after Curb Your Enthusiasm, she wants to be part of that club. This is where we see which way, well off wealthy man? Endorse Trump to stick to your supposed beliefs or cuck to your wife who just wants to be invited to parties?

Here's the little surprise, Rob, she's going to divorce you either way, you already strayed waaaaay too far off the plantation. It's just a matter of a divorce in 3 months or a year.
If RFK doesn't back Trump, than it just proves independents are just out of favor democrats. Who will cuck themselves no matter how bad just at shot of regaining the uniparty's favor. Come on RFK, they tried to keep you off the ballot in several states. You need to tell them to go fuck themselves.

Would the "joy" with my DNC allegory be having abortion in exchange for collective rights for its citizens? I knew I was onto something, just nudge me into the right direction.
