Dumb people don’t question commands.

They are fine on their island hideouts on Martha’s Vineyard and gated forts in Florida

Just give us about 30 or so years

I need someone to bitch at anonymously too

80’s. 80’s we had apple iis, commodores, tandys, ibm pcs, etc. 90’s it was cell phones

I use it at work side-by-side with searches for debugging app issues.

Let’s hope he makes a backup first

We’ll just put it all in one giant table. Think of the space savings!

What porn? Girls in bikinis?

Hitler was very narrow minded when it came to international politics. His mindset barely extended beyond Europe. To him the US was “over there”. This extended to his lack of interest in naval forces. He thought though that Britain would side with him as racial peers with similar attitudes (i.e. colonialism).

In the 60s the counterculture decided that all authority and anything taught to them was wrong and they thought they were smarter than anyone else and their gut feelings were just as valid as education. Hippies and conspiracy obsessed right wingers converged towards things like quack medicines, conspiracy mongering, etc. Anti intellectualism, hand in hand with anti authoritarianism, has become the norm. No one with a normal personality would run for office now because the knee-jerk response is to pile hate on them so you only get dysfunctional people running for office. Watergate was a major influence as it confirmed, to them, that the gov was full of dirty secrets and actors. The assassinations of JFK, RFK and MLK and the failing Vietnam war and draft added to the “everything is broken” mindset. The internet has only made things worse by allowing these people to find each other and reinforce their beliefs.

One of the biggest backlashes against the 60s was that people were tired of the constant protests and the collapse of cities like NYC which led to Nixon winning on a “law and order” platform that Reagan would later use. Then in the 80s you saw the rise of evangelical Christians against what they saw as liberalism in society. Reagan ironically used the “don’t trust the man” mentality to destroy a lot of business restrictions like the Fairness Doctrine in the media.

People have been stupid for centuries.

1. The average education level has been low or nonexistant for most people through most of history so everyone was equally dumb. Public education is a relatively new thing. People have been vulnerable to greed, deluded thinking, etc since day 1.

2. The internet has allowed stupid people to find each other and reinforce each other’s stupidity and create a race of conspiracy obsessed super morons.

3. The internet has also distilled everything into negativity to the point where everyone and everything isn’t just questioned but warped and rejected. Even the most basic advice on public health is now rejected. You’ve got people rejecting basic facts and science. Everyone who runs for office gets subject to so much hate and lies that no sensible person would want to run for office now leaving only questionable personalities willing to do it.

I’ll add that America’s obsession with individualism, which ironically becomes groupthink like with MAGA, has become extremely poisonous. It is making it impossible to do even basic things like improve public transportation, gun control, education, healthcare, public health, etc. It is like we’ve become a nation of children who can’t handle being told to go to bed and brush their teeth.

Get to the endgame. Just strap us to a chair and make us watch your crap ads Clockwork Orange style.

I use chatgpt for things like debugging error codes but I have to be explicit with as much detail as possible or it will give me all sorts of inapplicable crap

I’d sabotage their satellites but they are really hard to get to

Must be trying to hide fraud and waste. Better set up a commission to investigate them and start firing spacex execs.

When your only tool is a hammer every problem looks like a nail.

Next, space x?

They went on about the “deep state” because their goal was to create a deep state.

While we’re at it get rid of retina frying headlights. Sure, you can see great but I’m blind as I drive into you at night. At least make it so they don’t look like point sources and can’t aim upwards.

Also make the auto headlight setting the default if the car is in drive. Too many people driving in the twilight with no headlights on.
