At least two prominent DOGE employees are now involved with the National Design Studio, a new body created through an executive order signed by Trump in August. That body is headed by Joe Gebbia, co-founder of Airbnb, and Trump's order directed him to beautify government websites. Gebbia was part of billionaire Elon Musk's DOGE team while DOGE employee Edward Coristine, nicknamed “Big Balls,” encouraged followers on his X account to apply to join.

Big Balls...

We are run by only the most genius of geniuses, hmm?

Narrative control is pretty much how this panopticon fucks with our heads and grooms us.

I hate how tin foil this makes me sound. But like, the US government straight up admitted to researching how to control the population with weird shit like MKUltra. It's not that wild to think that in 70+ years of research they haven't figured out how to psychologically manipulate the population.

You see it with how sharply the paradigm shifted with young people to cynical "might makes right" bully shit straight after Trump won and the powers that be started fucking with social media again. Again, makes me sound like I'm sniffing Alex Jones style conspiracy nonsense. But suddenly we got "Gen Z loves the right actually" and a new wave of douchey anti-empathy mindset right out of the 2010s.

But also all this is pointless to dwell on or you will go absolutely paranoid.

Too early for me to judge yet, but I do like a nice cube.

"Why aren't there more leftist politicians in the US?"

You mean he dated ADULTS?!? Scandalous!

Damn these people are really reaching for anything to pin on him aren't they?

I mean, maybe they're upset because 24 is a lot older than what most of their favorite creepo capitalist politicians have been caught with. epstein

Listen. People change, I get it. We've had ex-chuds join us here, ex-libs, blah blah blah. The difference here is we will admit that what we used to believe was bad and wrong and try to make up for our past actions

You can turn it off. But yeah, it sucks.

The enshittification of the internet is depressing, hmm?

I'm going to show my age again, but why the fuck would you want a smart ring? What do they even do that a phone can't?

Also lithium batteries are crazy dangerous, it's wild that we just have these non-removable batteries that randomly swell and explode after 5-10 years just hanging out in everything.

Things will get worse, absolutely.

Which means it's the perfect time to be pushing communist ideas. The perfect time to agitate and organize.

I don't know what circles you run with, but most "nonpolitical" people I speak to have become very dissatisfied with the western system. They starting to realize that we have never been a democracy. I don't think that the people who are still clinging to liberal democracy are being honest with themselves. They're desperate for direction and stability.

People know shit sucks but they don't know what to do about it because they're overwhelmed, scared and tired.

Things suck and it's getting worse, but there are opportunities to radicalize that we can take advantage of, no matter how small. Also, things can change wildly without us expecting it. Decades in weeks and all that.
