It's part of the heritage foundation/SPN bullshit to recruit people at the state level to push federal policy
So I updated some stuff and yeah this seems very strange. The original order was in 2019 after an attack on some government servers. I had somehow forgotten that in 2023, the government admitted that there had been an ongoing cybersecurity attack on Louisiana OMV data and that essentially every adult in the state had their data breached (it's been a bit of a hectic year).
So I updated this to reflect more information. I'm not just dumb and this is sheisty.
What is going on?
According to the AP it's a direct quote from the memo written by the finest legal minds Trump's money can buy
I've been looking for a place to discuss political psychology for a long time.
It's a topic I've been interested in since taking a special topics course in high school that covered crimes against humanity. One of my favorite teachers taught the course, and even though it's been almost 2 decades since I took his class, as an adult, I've realized that he taught more than just historical facts and dates.He taught us how to think critically, how to spot disinformation, and how to recognize the same tactics that have been used throughout history to exert control over narratives and large populations of people.
Sadly, it's become quite a useful skill to have. It's not an intuitive skill for most people, and certainly not one I would have had if it hadn't been for him. It's usually a skill you only learn through either education or the experience of living through it. I consider myself lucky to be in the former category, but the older I get the more I find myself recognizing things that let me know society is not headed in a promising direction.
So, I hope I can share some interesting topics and maybe help more people recognize the patterns of human behavior that seem to loop endlessly throughout history.
I think it might be best to start on a note that examines the shared psychological scar that typically follows surviving repeated trauma in both survivors of authoritarian regimes and domestic abuse. For that, there's no better place to start than the work of Judith Herman.
The main post is a link to a PDF of Herman's 1992 work distinguishing between PTSD following a single traumatic event and complex PTSD following exposure to repeated traumatic events.
I've heard he and his dad have a very complicated relationship. So, I'm not sure if this was a legitimate but misguided attempt to help his son, or a an excellent WASPy passive aggressive move to add fuel to the uncontrollable inferno that continues to burn away at whatever scraps of a positive public image Elon was hoping to maintain. Either way, bravo 👏
"there’s at least a little bit of room for understanding why, after being raised in that environment, Elon would be a little fucked up."
also why he brags "my tombstone will say never went to therapy," oblivious people will walk by that tombstone and think, "yeah, checks out."
I don't really use blue sky but here is my attempt to make a series of skeets(?) explaining exactly how they could be making a lot of money off of this https://bsky.app/profile/pimentomori123.bsky.social/post/3lkoogcqvo22o
Just hoping somebody points this out before we're in the thick of a bird flu pandemic
Sorry about that not sure why it didn't attach. I just updated it
Oh it was in the ysk community on .world
I guess it would be community specific. Just looking around for places to share stuff, but it seems like it fits in many ways with the topic of the community but also includes aspects that might be in violation of the rules.
I will try just asking individual communities
These people aren't even giving us the minor concessions. They're actively taking away the shit that we are more than entitled to and exploiting us at every opportunity while reassuring the people that somehow still don't see the truth that eventually there will be a big pay off for their continued loyalty.
It's like just sit and wait patiently in this burning building. I'll be back to rescue you eventually. I understand it's getting hot, it's a little uncomfortable for all of us right now. I know you want oxygen, but I NEED this oxygen mask so I can save us all from the fire I started by fucking around with these matches.
