The insanity of this is that Trump is funding a country who is supplying armaments to Iran, who the US is at war with.

This is such a perfect illustration of the obscene veil of geopolitical nonsense when it's pulled back.

There are men who want to cling onto power. They will do anything, fund anyone, kill any number of civilians, ruin any number of healthy economies.... just to hang onto their own personal power a few minutes longer.

Perspective matters. Is the person making the decision an agent of Russia with a goal of destroying the US? He might be doing a fantastic job. I don't see any inkling that he has more concern for anyone besides himself and Russia.

"The pessimists have similar terminal values (US hegemony, private property)"

Not "private" property, but *my* property. They'll happily steal "your" property, but the moment you steal something from them (e.g. your attention, stolen from *their* advertising) it's time for the full power of the State in defence of *their* property.

Especially online with people from dlfferent cultures and backgrounds etc.

And personally I suck at remembering that whenever I’m trying to say something ”meaningful” and get the bright idea to use sarcasm as the framing device…

(Also english ain’t my native language, so some idioms that are ”natural” to me make no sense in english, and some english language idioms i still don’t get to this day…)

But now they want to get rid of it, rather than fix it.
People get upset with their political party because of single issue X, so they look for another party, expecting to find one that is tailored to their views. That is a consumer mindset.

I assume the simplest explanation is that the narcissist sociopath does whatever benefits him personally or emotionally, and that he can get away with.
A lot of money went into making sure the supreme court said he can get away with literally anything, so there are no brakes on the clown car.

They don't get to contravene the law. But since he doesn't actually care what is illegal and nobody is holding him to account, it doesn't matter. If the constitution said he couldn't do it he wouldn't care either. After all, he's doing things that are forbidden by that as well.

If the problem is both the people (too weak and petulant) and the "leaders" (too manipulative) then it's hard to know where to start.
In the UK at least, I do think there has been a slow shift away from an (albeit conservative) civic-mindedness, towards a more consumerist attitude.

If the Dems take back control of the House and the Senate, they should ammend the constitution to codify this. But they won't. I fear they will just go back to pretending things are normal.

I *suspect* that Israel also has the компромат (or similar).

An organisation like Epstein's would be an absolute MAGNET for infiltration by Mossad. And the KGB. (And La Deuxième, and MI6 too, no blushes here.)
And if you found The Opposition's cameras while installing yours, you do NOT alert them, just work around it.

Multiple people have Trump's underage snuff movie.
(And there's no reason a stooge like Epstein would have been told. Why would you?)
