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.”

    You’re doing an exceptional Bad Job at making people understand.

    Your active measures of wasting my time, demoralizing me, dehumanizing me with lemmy computer machines messages after messages of badgering insult replies has worked very well. You are one of the best haters with Lemmy media platform.

    You lost me completely with your unclear messaging

    Nel Postman’s 1985 book lost you completely. [email protected]

    You have a target fixation on my personal writing because I have autism and you sense it.

    ad hominem attacks.

    You can’t cite a single one, you can’t quote a single time what I’ve said that is “an attack”. You misunderstand and have so much egoism and self-centered you think the topic is two people, your own self - I I I I ego.

    This is my personal diary posting, so the topic was my personal expressions. The fact you find me difficult to understand is your problem of egoism, not mine. You haven’t even tried reading the other postings from before today, you just keep badgering and insulting me and giving me loaded questions as active measures of Kremlin media techniques on electric media.

    I’ve done my best to try and be positive about your active measures and make it a teachable moment, but I’m already on my deathbed and the USA I’m living in is so much a Hell enviornment of mass dehumanization I’m almost barely surviving. Which I have openly discussed on social media. I do not enjoy the enviornment of April 2025 society I am living in, I find it horrific and bad, and that is why I named these postings “Diary of Anne Frank”.

    So many people think it is fun, thrilling, exciting, “High Energy”, I witness it. But I don’t enjoy it.

        Whatever you take, take less.

        You want me to die, I’m already on my deathbed, so stop taking my medication and food and die. Got your message. A death-wish response.

            why would you stoop that low?

            What do you mean? You think I’m a liar? I am on my fucking deathbed and have been. I can barely eat any more. You think this is just a message on Lemmy and not factual reality? I’m not stooping low for your sake, I was here as I have been openly stating. RFK Jr is mass dehumanizing me for my autism just today. I have Hyper Empathy and I can’t take the constant “anti-goodness abounds” and mass dehumanization gong on in USA any more, I have already been hospitalized over a dozen times.

            People just don’t get the title meaning of “Diary of Anne Frank”, and take everything as insincere.

              Is this you?

              https://www.gutknechtautism.org/experience-lots

              I got the title, and I liked the post. Your comments on the other hand were outlandish and way too open to interpretation.

              Just say it directly, it’s the Internet.

              If you didn’t lie about your health, I would like to apolgise for implying you lied.

                You are fucking PUNCHING DOWN on me!!!

                QUOTE, GIVE ME A PRECISE QUOTE what is so fucking “outlandish”? Tell me why my expressions are wrong and please quote EXACTLY what you are referencing. Don’t just point to 5,000 pages I’ve publish and say every word is outlandish.

                way too open to interpretation.

                WHAT, PLEASE BE SPECIFIC AND PRECISE. I have NO IDEA what your brain thinks and does not understand!

                  I thought I was pretty precise in my first reply to you, that you took for someone else’s.

                  There’s a lot of advantages in blaming…" sounds like a conspiracy theory itself.

                  Do you suggest that blaming russia, Facebook or murdoch is only done because it’s advantagous to some?

                  You speak in riddles, giving way too much room for interpretation. You expect us do to research, instead of just saying what you want to say and then backing it up with a source. You make a disambiguos statement and post some seemingly random quotes and less random articles. But the work you put on us to understand you is immense, so people like me react defensive, especially on the Internet where the times of assuming good faith are long over.

                  I’m sorry for putting you down, I don’t do it often but I got ahead of myself. I felt attacked by your replies and went into defensive mode. You did as well and we escalated instead of really trying to understand each other. .

                  We’re very similar.

                    I thought I already responded to this, you want to go over it from the top? Personally I thought I made it clear that this seems like a tactic to use thought-terminating cliche phrases. “sounds like a conspiracy theory”

                    You speak in riddles

                    No, I do not, the WHOLE WORLD does not understand and communicate with each other. I created an entire Lemmy community on that topic, “Tower of Babel metaphor”. [email protected]

                    I’m not TRYING to conceal or make anything difficult, it already is difficult. Russia and Cambridge Analytica released 5,000 patterns of anti-reality, and nobody is on the same page!

                    In fact, I created ANOTHER Lemmy community on the problem: [email protected] about the fragmentation of people’s understanding and comprehension, how we need to sort out priorities in the aftermath of the loss to the Russian Hybrid Warfare / Hearts and Minds warfare - and get on the same page!

                    You speak in riddles, giving way too much room for interpretation.

                    I have created an exhaustive web of topics for you to learn what I’m referencing, I’ve been publishing it since December 16, 2009! My ideas are not simplistic, trivial, minor, small, concerned with fitting into Twitter-thinking and meme-speaking, Fox News language and communication systems.

                    Just on Lemmy Alone:

                    [email protected] - Brain Damage caused by Mass Mind

                    [email protected] - People not understanding even the slightest most superficial differences in languages and communications.

                    [email protected] - How the United States of America and NATO have lost an information warfare of language and memes that started in late 2012, “Operation Matthew 4:19”

                    [email protected] Teaching about the Medium of Lemmy, HDTV, electric media systems, how people don’t understand or comprehend ideas - Marshall McLuhan, Neil Postman, etc.

                    [email protected] Specifically about media ecology and education topics of Neil Postman.

                    I could go on and on, that’s my point. You jump into the middle of my raw expressions in “Diary of Anne Frank” and you start throwing questions at me and expect me to know your background and understanding on massively complex problems of this Russian Hybrid Warfare and the compete self-destruction of the United States of America society!
