If the Project 2025 folks get their way, we will all soon live in the sort of dystopian, disorienting information ecosystem the MAGA many already inhabit
The seriousness of the trouble we are in has been magnified significantly this week. the firehose of bullshit out of atlanta yesterday evening, the blatant corruption in the jurisprudence of scotus, which was mammoth this week (legalizing bribery, making homelessness a crime, monkeywrenching the administration of federal regulations, etc., etc.) are vile contributing evidence of how rapidly the nation is deteriorating into an authoritarian state along the line of Hannah Arendt's treatise on totalitarianism. These varieties of "authoritarian information systems" are right there in that book. Today we are just beginning to see how the public will react, between now and November. I feel like we are on "life support" politically. same is true around the world, and in the midst of heading toward a critical ecological situation, speaking of "life support." i am currently quite disgruntled with the human species.
