Null watched Jon Stewart and watched MSNBC (Keith Oberland and Gay Nigger Rape that’s safe for TV) for most of his teenage years. He’s like a lot of millennials in that he grew up with that media reinforced a certain paradigm for politics.

I know a lot of guys whose frustration with Trump or modern politics is because it’s turned a lot of shit on its head and made the outright manipulation a lot more clear. It was made worse when Trump did not go away and instead decided to fight and try to get back into the Presidency.
Basically the good guys and bad guys aren’t clear anymore. Obama was just black Bush who was hyped up because people were told he spoke well and was not allowed to be mocked. Trump is both weak and strong, a coward and breaking through reinforced glass to attempt to personally lead Jan 6.

What most millenials want is for the chaos to fucking stop so they can finally start their lives, as many of them are in their 30s or even 40s and their careers, relationships, and lives have not changed much since dead end shit in high school. They see the authorities blaming Trump, and they just mindlessly regurgitate it.

This is insane because the people blaming everything on Trump are the same ones pushing endless tranny shit, nigger worship, open borders, AI enshittification, and so on. It's like normies (or people who autistically reverse engineered how to think like a normie) can't use information about one domain to extrapolate about another domain.

The elites decided they want the world to look like china.

This is the only explanation that fits my observations.

No that doesn't work because China is pathetic.

I'm referring more to the absolute power enjoyed by minor bureaucrats in China.

Schools here shut down because they were the target of the posts. It's really bizarre.

The social media posts where I live were real. Cant verify the others, of course

My kids elementary school was shut down because of a threat to the two high schools in the district. A middle school aged girl was arrested for posting a threat to her school today in another town. Local news is reporting 20+ threats being posted on social media across the state that are being investigated.

I'm guessing it's another tiktok challenge that brainrotted kids are jumping on, but they have to take everything seriously because of the miniscule change that one of the threats is real.

Fox talking about Trump visiting New York. That rally was super high energy and although Trump winning New York is a fever dream, just visiting the state will help him out. I think it’s actually a good play on his part because he could win the popular vote this way. The only reason Republicans don’t win the popular vote is because Californian coastal libs swarm the vote; the only Republican to win the popular vote in the 21st century was Bush in 2004, and it’s no coincidence that he got a greater voter share in California than usual for Republicans.

Of course, I know popular vote doesn’t matter, but if Trump does win the popular vote the cope will be crazy because Democrats can’t say… “well… well… he didn’t REALLY win.” Also he could spin it to say how people wanted him all along.

Ultimately there are more Republicans in California or New York than the total population of some red states alone.

And victory means pushing back and not completely giving up the national centers of power, economy, and culture to your enemies.

Heard about the East Tennessee one. It was a group of kids that made a school shooting reenactment video or something with a "to be continued..." tag and got mass suspended.

The ones here were showing pictures of long guns and saying "going to shoot up [name] high tomorrow". They felt really fake though. What kind of black kid has a long gun?

They got tracked down by the school and suspended, though the one who called the phone of another school I never found the resolution of.

Edit: I agree with Jelq, though. It didn't seem real, so when I heard it had happened across the US I was curious if people here knew about it.

Also wanted to ask, I've been hearing that there were a slew of fake social media school shooting threats country wide the past week. From Florida, to Houston, to Memphis, to Wisconsin, to show the broad reach. Does anyone know anything about it? I didn't find anything on Twitter about it but I can post the TikTok that made me learn that it wasn't a local thing if a source is required.

All the school shit are likely distractions for major events later this year I bet. It is something that makes anyone on any political spectrum ask "wtf is going on". Very convenient.

Maybe? I know that some schools went back to virtual for a bit as a result.

Either that or its a bunch of kids who got sick of shit and decided to troll to bait mass shooter hysteria which seems on point with a lot of the youth I know of. A long time ago we had a real shooter alert cause some gangbanger decided to be a faggot and got caught, they banned bookbags afterwards. During the alert a lot of the kids weren't serious or panicked too much and were shat on by me and others and we never let them live it down for freaking out which could get us killed.

This is a band-aid fix, within years the US Marshalls will just become the next FBI, and be doing the same thing. If the right wants to prevent institutions from being used as political weapons, they must proliferate into the institutions.

We need less "journalist" podcasters and more actual journalists. Less commentators and more federal agents. Less tweeters and more educators. The right needs to realize that. Musk seems to have a clue on that, buying Twitter was the only big win the right's had all year, because it's now a right wing institution.

I disagree, we must stop relying on bureaucratic institutions and instead rely on markets. East India Tea Company style privateering is the only solution as it doesn't require any oversight beyond a general order and a letter of marque.

Works for deportation force, organized crime, homeless dope fiends, colonizing Mexico and physically removing 2/3 of their male population, seizing China's trade and fishing fleets.

It also rewards initiative, competence, and aggression, and punishes incomptenence.

Anyone got that short story posted a while back of a liberal coup where they start a middle east war and use that to kill the Internet and then do a massive right wing purge? Which only backfires when not-Obama balks and it's not to kill all remaining right wing media types once the people start realizing what's going on and leads to one of the ringleaders of the coup opining as she's led to the gallows how the coup would have succeeded had Not-Obama gotten cocky in thinking that they were untouchable and able to dismiss anyone calling them out as conspiracy nuts (and cursing him for fleeing right before the masses rose up and overthrew the left)?

You are thinking of the short story "What I Saw at the Coup", by Matt Bracken.

I believe it was originally posted to the Western Rifles Shooters Association blog (archive.org, archive.is), which was killed by Wordpress in early June of 2020(archive.org), citing ToS violations, right in the middle of the Fentanyl Floyd riots.

The archive.org copy has not yet been purged, and the story has since been re-posted(archive.org, archive.is) elsewhere(archive.org, archive.ph) on the(archive.ph) web(archive.org, archive.ph), and printed in an anthology(archive.org, archive.ph).
