The US Presidential Election Thread

[The Warlord]

I don't listen to Trump or Rogan so I'll take your word for it. I've got nothing against Rogan but when I first came across him, nearly 20 years ago, he was running around Burning Man sounding like the Temu version of Terrence McKenna. Then again he was a bit of a dumb jock who met the Machine Elves and he's been on a journey ever since so full credit to him for that.

With things like this people hear what they wanna hear. If there's a chance Trump haters can frame it as a negative for Trump they will. I think people have already made up their mind anyway with this election.

Terrence McKenna lol, so good.

Snow Patrol also have that Chasing Cars song that can immediately transport me back to a pub on a freezing Scottish night watching the Champions League

Yeah true, its definitely one of those songs.

 

[ferball]

Terrence McKenna lol, so good.

Funnily enough what Rogan did is a bit of a Temu version of this guy too:



There was a time when "I brought it for the articles" was a credible claim, thanks to him. RAW used his position at Playboy to get all sorts of interesting thing published in the magazine that would otherwise never have been presented to the average American male.

When I was about 17 i was so certain of how things were and someone gave me the Illuminatus trilogy to read. Whenever I start feeling that certain about things again i remember that book. He was trying to cure cognitive biases before they were considered a thing.

It’s hardly a negative for Trump.

I watched the whole thing. 3 hours and he was completely coherent.

He started badly, but as they relaxed (benefit of the 3 hr podcast) you could actually see why people go for him. Trump was genuinely into sports & quite charming in parts. He's a bit of an american Bob Hawke. He knows how to talk to people. Can't say that about most politicians.

They have one song I really like - Clocks - that is absolute time and a place stuff.

Like on a desert island disc stuff. Shit acts never get that far

 

[travelli]

Direct quotes, by the way.

Sharp as a tack this fella! No issues here! Just the oldest Presidential nominee in history going on a rant about wind turbines making whales suicidal. Totally normal stuff.

Did you even listen to it? They were having a laugh.

Could you imagine the amount of memes you could get from a 3 hour conversation with any politician?

Nobody would ever do it. It is bad political strategy. And very impressive.

Real question is how much is him and how much is persona a la Mt McMahon

I don’t know who Mt McMahon is

Where was Donald on 60 Minutes?

That’s right he was too much of a coward to appear.

THere is sposed to be a link to a medium article about Robert Anton Wilson in there but for whatever reason it doesn't seem to show up.

This is literal Nazi rally shit

[Chadwiko]

RFK Jr, who is famously anti-vax, in charge of Health under a Trump administration?

What could go wrong.

 

[ferball]

This is literal Nazi rally shit

Every major event in America is literal Nazi rally shit.

Racist.

 

[ferball]

Racist.

Chad: Investigating Australians for possible war crimes in gaza is antisemitic and racist.
Also Chad: I am allowed to use digital blackface and appropriate other people's content to only express exaggerated emotional responses and no one can be offended.

Chad: Likening the genocide in Gaza to literal Nazi shit is antisemitic and racist.
Also Chad: This political rally, without the army but with RFKjr, in a basketball court, is literal Nazi shit.

...errr Chad every rally in the US uses the techniques developed by Speer - marching bands, cheering crowds displaying national symbols, large arrays of flags, bald eagles and the like, lights, fireworks, military symbolism, a central podium with a fuhrer like figure receiving adulation. Often a connection with sporting events. They are events designed to fuse patriotism or affiliation with a political party/some other institution to the spectacle of power and success.

Chad: Racist.

 

[ferball]

Also Chad:

This Jewish speaking at a political rally is literal Nazi shit.

Cool, except you made up literally everything there.

But otherwise, yeah great arguments.

By the way, for anyone other than ferball who might be curious as to what I was referring to, then I invite you to compare the pair;







But sure, any political rally is the same as a Nazi rally if you count things like the use of podiums and lighting.

 

[Chadwiko]

Silly Governor Walz. He forgot to check in with ferball first to learn what really constitutes a Nazi rally

(aka 'all political conventions ever', or something stupid like that? I dunno. It's hard to keep up with the absolute lack of critical thought)
