There is a fun Netflix documentary where a guy creates his own cult: Kumare.

In the end he feels bad for taking advantage of peoples’ trust particularly when vulnerable and has a semi-sincere apology for including them in his project.

So the first requirement is you need to be a bit of a sociopath or a true believer (aka a bit crazy)

I mean people don’t seriously acknowledge it but good on Sesame Street for semi real sticky representing a homeless bum on a kids show. Also Bert and Earnie, but most people give them credit for that one these days…

in addition to mineral deposits they also have natural gas and historically a good amount of people in the developed cities well trained in math, programming, and technical sciences.

They could have been an economic powerhouse in 21st century if they weren’t beholden to Putin and oligarchy.

My man, you need a better bed. I get this whenever I sleep on a shit bed somewhere.

If you’re camping take a cot

Disgusting. There need to be assault charges on the officers and the department needs a overhaul and oversight. Watch the video if you don’t agree

Looser

GTFO

Fuckin bullshit. I’ve seen the cave paintings - they were throwing those fuckers

Sorry - not true. This dog lives on the couch and has barely set foot outside.

They come with paw feet naturally. I want that too, not to go harden my foot pads by walking on rocks and buying fancy nature shoes

Thanks, great read. Appreciate it. That was one example but you mentioned two - are you thinking of some of the broader disinformation applications in addition to the data gathering mentioned?

Please elaborate for the uneducated

The part where you said you voted in multiple elections. I added it to my original post because you missed the thread

I’m quoting you here:

“As a European that lived in America briefly (ten years) I was very shocked when I encountered the gun culture there.”

How are these two things possible without you being a liar?

Da fuck(?)… Teflon Don is at it again!

If I had done simply one of the many horrible and illegal things Trump has done I’d be right in jail and ostracized by the community.

Meanwhile he’s worshipped by the dumb and evil minded and gets put in positions of power in the government.

At least it gives me more confidence in myself (for not being a scumbag) and zero in the power structure of this country, that serves only to protect the capitalist overlords
