Please no romancing
I’m not going to go back to look at this nasty stuff for this purpose. But that’s reasonable, if it fits that context. My issue was with generally equating the term ‘handler’ as a crackpot conspiracy speak, when that’s literally a widely used term. :)
He’s a Russian asset and race horse for international tyrants, oligarch and so on.
You’ve heard of climate science being hijacked by Big Oil, etc.
If you have serious money and can’t find your soul, you invest it in judges, politicians, shadow networks, academics, journalists, influencers, papers, even artists to push all those institutions and their effect in your favor. Divide & Conquer, psychotic narratives. etc. to keep people from anything but joining together and doing what’s actually in their interest. Hijack existing conflicts, keep people afraid or blind by pleasure, with algorithms that your bought politicians and judges just let slip.
Things like that. Republicans are just the worse breed. And it’s all reaching a tipping point. I’ve heard an expert say that if 3.5% of the population non-violently protest this shit basically shuts down. Others say it’s gonna get a whole lot worse before it gets better. I guess it’s in the stars.
Here are the main reasons (I think) people do their dirty work.
Useful Idiots
Ideology
Money

FWIW
I stopped reading the first time after this sentence. Which is a shame, because what you write otherwise seems well-balanced and reasonable for what you’re focusing on.
He also claims that the handlers (a term used for spy agent conspiracy theories)
Sorry, this statement seems meaningless, or even misinfo, because the term is used in credible reports.
For illegals, in-person meetings with their KGB handlers were rare, and usually took place in third countries…
According to court documents, Angwang told his handler he wanted to get promoted within the police force so that he could bring “glory to China”.
Not everyone watches or remembers that. This is an excellent write-up. Thank you!

Without foreign interference and meddling all these countries in the Middle East would have long toppled their oppressors without funding controlled opposition and puppet policy makers.
Go liberate yourself US & Israel.
Thanks for the correction :) glad there are space nerds.
I’m guessing it’s an image of some other galaxy then right? So the arrow is pointing to some alien planet and is actually an alien meme leaking to planet earth?
E: I’m genuinely grateful, not trying to be cynical; just being a bit silly with the further analysis :)
Picture of the Andromeda Galaxy, with an arrow pointing towards earth. The text for the arrow reads: “YOU ARE HERE”. And the bottom text reads: “AND GOD IS EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT YOU DO WITH YOUR PEE PEE!”
Ok folx,
I don’t know how much clearer I can make it, when I literally write only a single paragraph underneath dedicated to other bad shit going on. Is there not enough space to focus on multiple things? What about Gaza, what about Ukraine, Sudan, Venezuela, femicide, Cum-ex, Myanmar, Iran, North Korea, climate catastrophe, and so fucking on?
Epstein Files are not just about Trump being child rapist and complicit sex trafficker. It implicates Bill Gates, Israel, Israel’s former PM, Noam Chomsky, the FBI, Woody Allen, and so much more. And it isn’t just about these people either. It illucidates the stranglehold ‘elites’ have over the rest of the world. It breaks the illusion of order and justice imposed in the west and trickles down into all kinds of policies and violence we see today.
The defeatism of “we know that anyway”, “nothing changes” is lacking imagination and a disrespect to all the blood that has been shed to get this far. This is a political community and this is politics. Shining light on injustice, especially of massive proportions and implications should always have a space.
If you’re focusing on the murder of Renee Nicole Good, GREAT! Keep it up!
Oh my god, the hat!
Thanks for sharing, I think I’ve just found my new favorite cartoon artist.
I feel like it’s more important than ever to partition/set-up feeds to only see politics when one wants to.
Absolute madness. The really bad kind.
Very well put. Thank you.
More in the same vein:
It has changed a lot. It’s no longer just magazines, or getting a physical copy of a DVD. It’s plastered over the internet a few clicks away, with even more brainwashy algorithms to keep people coming back.
This is a big difference from the perspective of addiction psychology.
Why the rise? Maybe because an entire generation grew up with this kind of porn, maybe because there are therapists for this now and it’s not as stigmatized.
Maybe with the male loneliness epidemic it’s even more amplified, esp. for misogynists or cluster c men.
Maybe because porn has also been more normalized with PornHub merch, adverts and giftcards.
Really, I feel like if there’s a genuine interest to know, one can just start searching the web for porn addiction papers, etc.
Or to argue the point of propaganda, look at the BACP, and other parties mentioned in the article and consider how much sense it makes after.
FWIW the only thing that raises my eyebrows in the article is that they want the government to look at the problem. Expected to a degree from an org like BACP, but they aren’t going to invest in community resources. to help with understanding and support first and foremost, and then hold platforms accountable like they should game platforms with lootboxes and such etc… So I’d give them more credit if they offered the direct ways to help the problem. As the government, without direction only seems to know punish, block, ban.
Food for thought, I’m off to sleep and over and out.
I understand the suspicion, but this seems pretty unreasonable. The arguments are scientific and credible. Or are you saying there isn’t a rise in people seeking help for problematic porn use?
There can be problematic porn use and bullshit government overreach hijacking an existing problem, both existing in parallel.
Yup. Even with the electoral college, the money in campaigns, Dis- & misinformation, Musk’s illegal cheerleading and so on, I think anyone who really looks, with a focus on the ballots will find a shit ton of dodgy things.
Alternative headline:
China’s authoritarian leader Xi Jinping reiterates intent to subjugate neighboring country Taiwan in New Year’s Eve speech.
Thank fuck they don’t.
It would have the same issue as these AI glasses. People will say they aren’t recording you or whatever, completely ignorant to the fact that they are not the ones in control of their devices. And if many laptops had that, the same Big Tech creatures would salivate over software updates to utilize this surveillance more.
Digital just adds more layers of abstraction before it reaches you and your message goes out to wherever. And there’s more signal stuff around it.
I can see my notepad. I can move it around, I could put paint on my fingers and touch it to draw something.
On a computer, I hit keys and they send a signal through the machine with a bunch of stuff going on before it appears on the screen. The computer might have some issues and then, even if I hit the keys nothing happens or something unexpected. And when I break the screen it’s not on the screen anymore, but somehow still there and went god knows where on the way.
The notepad is a lot simpler.
