What do you get when you mix sophistry (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophist) and nihilism (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nihilism)?
How is this a fucking shower thought?
It’s an upside down shower thought.
They have no trouble making up this story because they make up all their stories.
“alternative facts”
Words have meaning. This irks me.
It feels like a lot of the new vocabulary and discourse that has developed in recent years has revolved around the insidious idea that reality is a matter of opinion. We focus on “optics” and bandy about “narratives”, decry “fake news”. We’ve ceased to get or even expect journalism from the news, and we aren’t even surprised that flat earth screwballs still exist. We live in a world seemingly in retreat from the idea of objective truth as people talk about “my truth”. Words have meaning. Objective truth exists. We forsake it at our peril.
Wrote this at 4 am so forgive the unhinged rant. Just finding the words for it now and it’s been bothering me lately.
What do you expect from someone dumb enough to hitch themselves to Trumps wake. Mike Pence feared for his life for good reason while Trump was attempting a coup. Everyone that has hitched themselves to Trump since has found themselves in a near equal measure of trouble. Solving this equation of variables means the man is an absolute imbecile with no ethics or even fundamental survivalist reasoning skills. Either his past left him completely without a future, likely from criminality, or he is an unarmed toddler on a Colosseum floor with lions and professional gladiators.
My conspiracy theory is that the Russians got dirt on Vance, so he’s actually Trump’s prisoner. It would explain his wild switch on his opinion of Trump and why he looks so stressed and extra fake all the time. He is trapped and has to go alone with it I hope we find out one day what the dirt is.
Vance’s goal is to abolish the US democracy and reinstate the monarchy. Trump is a means to an end and if he wins, they will immediately 25th Ammendment him, making Vance president. There is a whole group of tech bros backing this movement.
