Last week, Tracy and Dale McMullen sold their vacation home in Buckeye, Arizona, a property they owned for five years. The Alberta residents, who usually spend four to five months in Arizona a year, said they are not planning to come back.
“We decided to sell the property after the current POTUS took office,” said Dale, referring to U.S. President Donald Trump, who was inaugurated for the second time in January.
“It was time to leave. We felt we could not trust what he might do next to us as individuals and to our country. We no longer felt welcome nor safe.”
anti-goodness abounds
There are a lot of advantages to blaming Russia. Coming together and rescuing MAGA from the 5,000 alternate reality screen games created by Putin / Kremlin / Russia / Surkov and Cambridge Analytica. Read here: https://washingtonmonthly.com/2017/11/24/a-trumprussia-confession-in-plain-sight/
There are a lot of advantages to blaming Rupert Murdoch Media Systems, Fox News, which launched on Putin’s Birthday October 7, 1996. Using a 1985 book, more than a decade before Fox News launched… there are a LOT OF advantages to making the topic “rescue human beings, rescue people” from HDTV Fox News. Please read here: “My dad predicted Trump in 1985 – it’s not Orwell, he warned, it’s Brave New World. The ascent of Donald Trump has proved Neil Postman’s argument in Amusing Ourselves to Death was right.” https://www.theguardian.com/media/2017/feb/02/amusing-ourselves-to-death-neil-postman-trump-orwell-huxley
There are a lot of advantages to blaming the Apple iPhone introduced in year 2007 for people who were never educated on media ecology and behavior induced by electric media systems / light-speed media systems.

Are you trying to say those people are not to blame…?
Can you please define “those people”? and “blame” for what, precisely? Some kind of time frame in terms of blaming who for what?

“With today’s regimes, which struggle to formulate a single ideology, the idea that one lives in a world full of conspiracies becomes the worldview itself. Conspiracy theory replaces ideology with a mix of self-pity, paranoia, self-importance, and entertainment.” ― Peter Pomerantsev, This Is Not Propaganda: Adventures in the War Against Reality, 2019
Apple and the others you named which clearly are somewhat responsible for the discontent in the United States. What else would I mean?
My message that you replied to on Lemmy starts out with: There are a lot of advantages to blaming Russia. Coming together and rescuing MAGA from the 5,000 alternate reality screen games created by Putin / Kremlin / Russia / Surkov and Cambridge Analytica.
Clearly the answers include:
Did you not see that opening paragraph in the Lemmy message you replied to?

“The thesis at the center of this book is that since we have delegated the ability to read context to contextual technologies such as social media, location, and sensors, we have become context blind. Since context blindness―or caetextia in Latin―is one of the most dominant symptoms of autistic behavior at the highest levels of the spectrum, people with autism may indeed be giving us a peek into our human condition soon.” - Context Blindness: Digital Technology and the Next Stage of Human Evolution (Understanding Media Ecology, 10) by Eva Berger
You’re asking me if I saw the literal only thing I referenced
You said “Apple” and that’s not in the opening of the Lemmy message you replied to.
So far, all your replies I would describe as trivialization, annoyance information warfare tactics, that I witness happen whenever the Kremlin / Russia / Putin information warfare topics are invoked. Many people since year 2013 have adopted these styles of comments and mimic what they consume off the Internet. It makes dialog very difficult because questions become so non-specific that they do not further conversation of important topics and seem to only try and drown signal with noise by sheer volume of low-meaning content.

Russia-watcher Catherine Fitzpatrick, who documents Kremlin disinformation for InterpreterMag com, says just as Moscow uses vague Internet laws to encourage self-censorship, trolls inhibit informed debate by using crude dialogue to change “the climate of discussion.” “If you show up at The Washington Post or New Republic sites, where there’s an article that’s critical of Russia, and you see that there are 200 comments that sound like they were written by 12-year-olds, then you just don’t bother to comment,” she says. “You don’t participate. It’s a way of just driving discussion away completely,” she adds. “Those kinds of tactics are meant to stop democratic debate, and they work.” -Daisy Sindelar. August 12 2014
Oh man, what is happening in your head lol
I am starting to suspect that Sparrow is a bot. They never actually answer questions in a normal way, and the responses they post are often incoherent while appending quotes from random shit.
I’ve been writing about it here, do you have a literacy problem? Or all yous an do is “LOL” at serious and sincere people, thinking everything in life is just entertainment and mockery. The Hell I’m living under in April 2025 in United States of America where people are inside 5,000 alternate reality patterns and mass dehumanizing everyone they disagree with amused and mocking constantly.

lol more dehumanization. Yes, I’m just an automaton controlled by powers above me, trying to push some agenda … (that an avowed enemy of democracy works against democracy, controversial!)… and you are just an innocent neutral truth seeker who in no way seeks to minimize Russia’s role in world politics right now.
You find this amusing and funny. That’s a symptom of the Kremlin information warfare that was unleashed in March 2013 all across the World Wide Web. That people LOL LOL LOL LMAO at serious and important topics.
Your words, not mine. Many people who compulsively adopt Twitter-thinking behaviors don’t have an agenda other than to be constantly entertained and amused. one contributor wrote that the book “may help explain the otherwise inexplicable”. CNN noted that Trump’s allegedly shocking “ascent would not have surprised Postman”
You seem incredibly insincere and dishonest about me. As I have been fighting the Russians full time since 2015 when I contacted the Pentagon. You seem to be here to throw shade and mock and insult my defending the [email protected] … … … www.GreatSealUSA.com thinking values against Putin and Surkov “Operation Matthew 4:19” media invasion.

“His aim is to undermine peoples’ perceptions of the world, so they never know what is really happening. Surkov turned Russian politics into a bewildering, constantly changing piece of theater. He sponsored all kinds of groups, from neo-Nazi skinheads to liberal human rights groups. He even backed parties that were opposed to President Putin.” - BBC, Adam Curtis, 2014 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9_L9GRRsQo
