Do you wanna get blocked? That’s how you get blocked, people.

You adore book-burning, like Nazi Germany in 1937, uh? “Breathe, citizen.”, “Go to toilet now, citizen.”

Elon Musk xAI / Twitter-thinking values of social machines. Being directed by a social media message when you can take a breath and when you can use the toilet. Fantasy world for many who adore Elon Musk xAI / Twitter-values world.

“Technopoly is a state of culture. It is also a state of mind. It consists in the deification of technology, which means that the culture seeks its authorization in technology, finds its satisfactions in technology, and takes its orders from technology.” ― Neil Postman, Technopoly: The Surrender of Culture to Technology, 1992

Little understood of media ecology comprehension… in Nazi Germany 1937, they didn’t have Unicode text to block. When they went into egomania over people’s messages about Russians and Surkov information warfare, they had to burn actual magazines and books printed on paper! But social machine users in May 2025 don’t have to actually use fire and paper.

The community you are commenting in on Lemmy is called “Mass Brain Damage”, !MassBrainDamage@lemm.ee caused by Twitter-thinking Tweet-values messaging.

Counter Vlad Surkov techniques and methods

Introduction to the Kremlin media techniques of year 2014

1. Peter Pomerantsev September 9, 2014: Russia and the Menace of Unreality. How Vladimir Putin is revolutionizing information warfare

2. Adam Curtis, BBC, December 31, 2014: On The “Contradictory Vaudeville” Of Post-Modern Politics - “What this film is going to suggest is that that defeatist response has become a central part of a new system of political control. And to understand how this is happening, you have to look to Russia, to a man called Vladislav Surkov, who is a hero of our time. Surkov is one of President Putin’s advisers, and has helped him maintain his power for 15 years, but he has done it in a very new way.”

3. Book reading from December 5, 2014 on the subject by Peter Pomerantsev

It’s not often that an interview perfectly encapsulates a politician’s relationship with reality, but Donald Trump’s recent sit-down with ABC News’s Terry Moran gives us exactly that—a window into Trump’s expectation that the press should simply bend to his version of events, regardless of whether they’re true.

NATO / USA lost the Hybrid War that was launched in March 2013 against the World Wide Web.

1. Kremlin brags that only 1% of the manipulation Hybrid War content has been discovered and removed. NATO has entirely been unable to defend, 99% flies under the defense radar of Five Eyes (FVEY).

2. Russian military was able to completely get past USA FBI, CIA, NSA, and whatever else the Pentagon has. Competely unable to defend the population against Russian Hybrid Warfare. “For years, AIVD had access to the infamous Russian hacker group Cozy Bear. That’s what de Volkskrant and Nieuwsuur have uncovered in their investigation.” “the Dutch intelligence agency AIVD penetrated the computer network of a university adjacent to Red Square back in 2014, only to later realize they had tapped into APT29, aka Cozy Bear, one of the Russian government-affiliated organizations that penetrated the DNC and targeted other US government departments”. “It was Dutch intelligence operatives that hacked into some of Russia’s own institutions – including their closed-circuit television cameras.”

3. Putin and Surkov’s “Operation Matthew 4:19” global manipulation of everyday people included turning social media consumers into Russian assets of the Hybrid Warfare who deliberately spread measles and COVID-19 virus during the pandemic. Johns Hopkins University and George Washington University validated evidence going back to year 2014.

4. Absolutely no defense has been found against this Hybrid Warfare since it was unleashed in March 2013. “At the NATO summit in Wales last week, General Philip Breedlove, the military alliance’s top commander, made a bold declaration. Russia, he said, is waging “the most amazing information warfare blitzkrieg we have ever seen in the history of information warfare.” It was something of an underestimation. The new Russia doesn’t just deal in the petty disinformation, forgeries, lies, leaks, and cyber-sabotage usually associated with information warfare. It reinvents reality, creating mass hallucinations”

Dear USA:
Attention USA:

“It is not necessary to conceal anything from a public insensible to contradiction and narcotized by technological diversions.” ― Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business, year 1985

“Give a Damn” /\ “Wake Up”

People are zombies, so entertained by the White House methods of Surkov / Surkovian surreal and absurd behavior, that they are completely asleep inside the 5,000 alternate reality screen games deployed since March 2013.

People may “wake up” to Donald Trump as an individual and have him removed, but they are not “waking up” to the 2013 onward “War Against Reality” that Russia has been waging.

Waking up to Donald Trump alone is not going to address the crisis. It is far larger and out of control… cult deprogramming and Marshall McLuhan / Neil Postman education should have been a national priority in 2023, the meme and message cult behaviors need to be recognized.

Thursday May 1, 2025 morning

I can understand why someone would want tariffs to incentivize manufacturing to return to America.

Project 2025 was not a plan to do this, it was a plan to wreck America and turn power over to corporations that used to be government for the common good.

incentivize manufacturing to return to America.

There are so many fundamental social issues with this ambition. It’s a parrot talking point, repeated about “making things they way they used to be in the 1950’s” when we had a huge surge of growth and good-will at the end of World War Two. Soldiers returned, eager to start families - were all treated as heroes / good will abounds in 1950’s America, all the manufacturing that has been serving the world war was now able to reset and start new product lines.

People are not living in reality, they are living in Rupert Murdoch Wealth Televangelism alternate-reality and 5,000 patterns of alternate reality screen games that Cambridge Analytica deployed on everyone since March 2013.

America has earned no good will like it did after World War Two (there was some good will with Ukraine, but that’s already purged). All the things I have seen going on with Project 2025 are anti-good will, anti-goodness itself.

Like the clergy in the USA, everything is being interpreted ass-backwards. Hate thy Christian neighbors in Mexico, complete inversion of Bible verse '1 John 4:20", ass backwards!

I think the hybrid warfare / information warfare has put everyone into states of amusement and mockery over the situation and very few are seeing things clearly like Robert Reich. Goodness needs to be asserted, and his calling out religion clergy I consider very important. We are in a morality crisis, people are all flocking to bad of mass dehumanization - adopting the Twitter-thinking Tweet-mindsets of Elon Musk and Donald Trump values. The cults keep growing deeper, the “love Trump” message and meme cults / thrilled at “owning the libs”, and the “hate Trump / hate Elon Musk / hate JD Vance” cult that is thrilled at all the memes and messages - the constant content of mockery and mocking.

His polls are plummeting yet many Americans are still in denial. “He’s getting things done!” some say. “He’s tough and strong!”

Every American with any shred of authority must loudly and boldly explain the danger we are in.

Anyone in the world could go to Reddit or Bluesky and post “Day 1 of 700, I am from Australia - Down Under - and here to help Americans learn cult deprogramming and how to fix your Bible literacy problems” - but the cults of hate harder memes and messages are so deep since January 2024 that this isn’t happening.

America’s religious leaders have a moral obligation to speak out. They have a spiritual duty to their congregations and to themselves to make their voices heard.

Yes, and everyone in the world has a moral obligation / civic duty to save the world by fixing long-standing clergy failures in morality. It’s clear almost none are protesting the $59.99 Trump Bible (verse Matthew 6:5 should be a household name since 2024, really earlier) and we need cram courses in !RemedialMorality@lemm.ee

1. “MASS PSYCHOSIS - How an Entire Population Becomes MENTALLY ILL”

2. A 1985 book by Neil Postman, Manhattan / New York University Professor (Donald Trump’s Home Town) predicted all this for America’s future. On February 2, 2017 his son Andrew Postman confirmed that Donald Trump was what his father’s book was ultimately about.

3. The Theory of SOCIETAL STUPIDITY by Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Nazi Germany mass conformity / collective blindness

This study is spot on, and it’s hilarious.

I have found liberals are unable to resist absurd comedy surreal antics of conservatives. No matter the topic or concern (no matter the depth of serious), if conservatives use absurd surreal comedy and humor, liberals LOL and find it hilarious and hand over power to mass dehumanization leaderships.

I really wish we, NATO, could find a defense against surreal absurd “Surkov Governing” that has wrecked NATO

“In the twenty-first century the techniques of the political technologists have become centralized and systematized, coordinated out of the office of the presidential administration, where Surkov would sit behind a desk on which were phones bearing the names of all the “independent” party leaders, calling and directing them at any moment, day or night. The brilliance of this new type of authoritarianism is that instead of simply oppressing opposition, as had been the case with twentieth-century strains, it climbs inside all ideologies and movements, exploiting and rendering them absurd. One moment Surkov would fund civic forums and human rights NGOs, the next he would quietly support nationalist movements that accuse the NGOs of being tools of the West. With a flourish he sponsored lavish arts festivals for the most provocative modern artists in Moscow, then supported Orthodox fundamentalists, dressed all in black and carrying crosses, who in turn attacked the modern art exhibitions. The Kremlin’s idea is to own all forms of political discourse, to not let any independent movements develop outside of its walls. Its Moscow can feel like an oligarchy in the morning and a democracy in the afternoon, a monarchy for dinner and a totalitarian state by bedtime.” ― Peter Pomerantsev, Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible: The Surreal Heart of the New Russia, 2014

Mass Mind Brain Damage

Not just personal brain damage, not just one individual brain damage.

Brain damage of entire groups, mass mind brain damage. Mass man brain damage.

Still can’t tell if it’s all a LLM or not.

That is a major intelligence failure in April 2025. Lemmy community to educate you: !FakeDetectors@lemm.ee “Fake detectors of Large Language Models”

this community is to be deliberately obtuse apparently.

No, not at all. This Lemmy community is about the “Tower of Babel” shallow understandings and superficial reactions to language, but you seem incredibly ignorant and in need of remedial education and learning,

It is very direct and clear what the topic of this Lemmy community is about:

Torah / Bible “Genesis 11:9 attributes the Hebrew version of the name, Babel, to the verb balal, which means to confuse or confound in Hebrew. The first century Roman-Jewish author Flavius Josephus similarly explained that the name was derived from the Hebrew word Babel (בבל), meaning “confusion”.”

“Us and Them” (Pink Floyd song cover) performed by Lucia Lilikoi, lyrics: Up and down… and in the end It’s only round and round, and round. “Haven’t you heard it’s a battle of words?” The poster bearer cried

I’m much more of an auditory learner

“The ear favours no particular “point of view.” We are enveloped by sound.

It forms a seamless web around us.

We say, “Music shall fill the air.” We never say, “Music shall fill a particular segment of the air.”We hear sounds from everywhere, without ever having to focus.

Sounds come from “above,” from “below,” from in “front” of us, from “behind” us, from our “right,” from our “left.”

We can‘t shut out sound automatically.

We simply are not equipped with earlids.

Where a visual space is an organised continuum of a uniformed connected kind, the ear world is a world of simultaneous relationships.” ― Marshall McLuhan, The Medium is the Massage, March 1967

“Joyce is, in the Wake, making his own Altamira cave drawings of the entire history of the human mind, in terms of its basic gestures and postures during all the phases of human culture and technology. As his title indicates, he saw that the wake of human progress can disappear again into the night of sacral or auditory man. The Finn cycle of tribal institutions can return in the electric age, but if again, then let’s make it a wake or awake or both. Joyce could see no advantage in our remaining locked up in each cultural cycle as in a trance or dream. He discovered the means of living simultaneously in all cultural modes while quite conscious.” - “The Medium is the Massage: An Inventory of Effects” by media analyst Marshall McLuhan and graphic designer Quentin Fiore, and coordinated by Jerome Agel. It was published in March 1967
