I don't think I agree with the quote. But I agree with what it's probably trying to say.

It's just that my brain is wired to look for edge cases and can find many.
The most harmful stuff online is in areas intended to be harmless.

Like groomers invading kids spaces. Instant messaging apps. Stuff like that.
Can anything be done to stop it, realistically?
You trust them fully? How come?
Yes. Is there any media outlet you'd trust fully? I don't.
There's different degrees of trust.

I don't trust them fully, of course. I trust them more than I trust someone like Fox News. Not as much as I trust someone like Bellingcat.
To an extent, sure.
Do you think this is not happening?
Whether it's fucking kids, cheating on taxes, dabbling in nuclear weaponry, wanting to fuck his daughter, being a racist, emulating Hitler, or whatever it is..

..he gets off on flaunting his depravity and illegality, and the lack of consequences makes him feel powerful. Manly. Like Fred.
Trump has a fragile ego, and gigantic daddy issues.

So he projects that onto people who are as authoritarian and cruel as Fred was, and for a brief moment, their praise feels like he's getting that hug his dad clearly never gave him.

The rest of his ego is inflated by freely breaking taboos.
Because of two things.

A) He's too stupid and narcisstic to notice how he got played.

B) His win condition isn't doing good for America, it's when he can feel his status goes up. Which he does by abusing power and people without consequence, and basking in hollow praise from father-surrogates.

California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50.

California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections.

Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.
I hate J.D Vance.

One day Trump is going to croak, and that slimy fuckpig is going to spoil the moment by becoming POTUS.
Well at least it isn't like the corrupted leader of the intellectual elite institutions of the world is spying on people via Palantir.

Wait.

Ah no, LOTR isn't sci-fi so there. We're good on that one.
Whatever do you mean?

It's not like there's a bloated, ancient worm-king whose reality warping powers have kept him safe from political maneuvering and assassination attempts, who's attracted to much, much younger women, and he's deathly allergic to plain water.

Wait..
Thr Aristocrats!

There's entirely too much incontinence, pedophilia, dog-murder and other vile crimes to not be an elaborate aristocrats joke.
Plugging some tracks I wish I'd found sooner, though I knew about the bands for the most part.

Anathema - The Beginning and the End

Katatonia - Decima

Riverside - The Depth of Self-Delusion

Porcupine Tree - Sentimental

Hexvessel - Cosmic Truth
Yep. We don't do that where I come from, but kindergarden staff are called uncles and aunts for example.

Also less straightforward familial relations, like 'great-uncle / great-aunt' is often just shortened. Likewise with older distant relatives sometimes.

I thought of my mother's cousin as aunt.
