Burned out autistic.
The USA as a society has adopted hate and mob mentality values, technology lust and dehumanization. It seems like media ecology teaching 1980's/1990's need more attention in 2024 and 2025. "Amusing Ourselves to Death"

So true...
“Americans no longer talk to each other, they entertain each other. They do not exchange ideas, they exchange images. They do not argue with propositions; they argue with good looks, celebrities and commercials” ― Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business

#DiaryOfRoundSparrow when I worked for a #TeamOwner of #NFL and #NBA and #Apps and #DreamWorks - I saw too much. Page 581 Finnegans Wake "saw too much". Took me a decade to come to terms with #pawns of fandoms.

People in USA adopt Trump hate of women, superficial and shallow values. Putin won: November 8, 2013 Moscow women show. The USA prizes attacking women, dehumanizing women. Trump Putin leads.

Of course 🎄Fox’s Christmas Tree🎄 is fake!
Fox can’t do ANYTHING real.

We’ll bring our holiday cheer to Fox’s Fake Tree every Tuesday throughout the season as we CALL OUT FOX'S LIES and work for a future where TRUTH will heal our country!

#FoxNews puts words in American mouths. Fox News feeds words to audiences and #MAGA followers repeat them. Denial of #MediaEcology is widespread in USA. We are living under #Totalitarian Reality Television society. Corporate voices.

The peoples who lived in the Americas before year 1492 when Spain invaded Americas are being treated in year 2025 USA as "immigrants" because the skin color of Americas is not the shade of people like me: white, blonde hair, blue eyes. Immigrant Musk / Rupert Murdoch USA values

2018, Russia: "Fuck this, I'm not watching a World Cup in a fascist country. I'll just wait four years."

2022, Qatar: "Fuck this, I'm not watching a World Cup in a fascist country. I guess I'll wait another four years..."

2026: So I guess the joke is on me.

People are attracted to Donald Trump in the same way people are attracted to Jesus God. The Bible verse "1 John 4:20" #Levant problem described 2,000 years ago. Attracted to God, never #SeenGod #SeenJesus

Runaway Imagination is the ENTIRE point of "1 John 4:20"

#FWakeActivists #FWakeVandal #FWakeHealthCare

In protest to #USAHealthCare policy, why don't #Activists start a "Open Health Wiki" and spend their activism labor documenting every aspect of cost and line-items of insurance companies in USA? And medial knowledge? And POSITIVE?
