Dan the Bagel Man. He is for real what the D.I.D. system
posting as Doc plays here on usenet.
So Dan called me "Delusional" and insists that Pete Hegseth
is turning the military all-white. THAT is what his new
standards are all about: White supremacy!
Apparently only white people can meet decent physical
standards, and it's unreasonable for a military to want
stringent, military-level standards anyway....
You can't make this stuff up.
He also insists that Portland is virtually crime free
and there is absolutely nothing for the feds to address.
This is the same Portland where rioters run free and
the police refuse to enforce the law against them, such
as in the case of ICE but limited to that one example.
Leftists/Antifa haven't endorsed political killings
either (Charlie Kirk) or called for more (Trump, Musk
and others).
Yeah, I'm delusional for seeing these things...
Yes I blame social media. People are literally
segregated. They are walled off from everything but
their own little political niche.
I actually first witnessed/experienced this back in
the 1990s. A company I worked for had a "Group" for
pretty much every last demographic amongst the
employees. Gay? Black? A parent? ANYTHING? There was
a group and members of that group had their
mailboxes stuffed silly with all the pro [insert name
of group here] activities which the company was
exhaustively engaged in. And every member of every
conceivable demographic which absorb this information
and become convinced that the company was the
absolute most pro [insert name of here] the planet
has ever known. But...
But if you weren't a member, if you weren't subscribed,
if you were receiving this "Information" then it was
all invisible to you. It didn't exist, as far as you
would know.
THIS is social media! It's how it works. It's the
entire point of the algorithm. They identify you,
pigeon whole you, determine your demographic and then
custom tailor your experience in order to create a
perception that is no more real than the perceptions
sculpted by that company I once worked for.
It's also how social media radicalizes people.
IN THEIR MINDS THEY'RE THE FURTHEST THING FROM RADICAL!
Their perception of reality is such that what you call
"Radical" is mainstream. It's reasonable, perhaps even
inescapable: You're irrational if you don't want to
kill people for thought crimes!
Anyway, Dan is a Leftist... far left. He actually believes
that if only the communists can stick together they can
and will overthrow the U.S. government.
/Right/
I stated in no uncertain terms just how crazy that is, and
if the government did ever fall then we -- people like him
and me, the useless third of society -- are either going
to wind up in a camp or a ditch.
Didn't help. He's convinced.
