You are a banality agent, active measures. Here to drive me away from posting in public about THE PUBLIC.
“We do not know whether Hitler is going to found a new Islam. (He is already on the way; he is like Mohammed. The emotion in Germany is Islamic; warlike and Islamic. They are all drunk with a wild god.)” - Carl Jung
“No nation keeps its word. A nation is a big, blind worm, following what? Fate perhaps. A nation has no honour, it has no word to keep. … Hitler is himself the nation. That incidentally is why Hitler always has to talk so loud, even in private conversation — because he is speaking with 78 million voices.” - Carl Jung. During an interview with H. R. Knickerbocker (1939)
In Donald Trump’s case, “meme so loud”. His spoken voice isn’t really that loud like Hitler. But Trump’s meme voice is dominating and role model.
points we’ve already agreed on
Show me where you posted Dr. Bandy X Lee and quoted her on social media. As you sound like a Trump Fan who thinks LOL LOL LOL laughing at disturbed mental people is amusing to you.
“Forest for the trees” I’ve referenced multiple times
You’re not answering my questions because you think that would be ‘missing the firest for the trees’ can you explain how? without further explanation this is an incongruous statement that seems like pure defelection
Show me where you posted Dr. Bandy X Lee and quoted her on social media. As you sound like a Trump Fan who thinks LOL LOL LOL laughing at disturbed mental people is amusing to you.
I don’t agree with Dr Lee who believes the US can be reformed by removing a single dangerous leader. Trump is not the root of the problem he is a symptom of the US system which can not be reformed, socialist revolution is the only solution,
I’ve posted many times deriding Trump, some quotes from my previous comments of me saying that:
you:
Donald Trump is easily influenced and gullible. He believes fiction storytelling put out by the Kremlin
me:
True but he also believes the last person he spoke to not just Putin exclusively, he believes the fiction put out by the UAF and his own government
quotes anything I’ve posted that would lead you to believe I’m a ‘trump worshipper’
You avoiding my questions with deflection is engaging in anti-intellectualism, you aren’t less guilty of it than the average poster because you pad out your posts with repetitive and barely tangential information
you pad out your posts with repetitive and barely tangential information
To your egoism, it is irrelevant. You live in filter-bubbles. I’ve also brought up “active measures” a couple times here in this thread. It is entirely possible you are here mocking into the total mockery and not sincere in any way. That you do understand the relevance of these quotes and your entire screen game is active measures.

“The phenomenon we have witnessed in Germany was nothing less than outbreak of epidemic insanity… No one knew what was happening to him, least of all of the Germans, who allowed themselves to be driven to the slaughterhouse by their leading psychopaths like hypnotized sheep.” - Dr. Carl Jung, After the Catastrophe, 1945

Rupert Murdoch owns a 340,000-acre cattle property known as Beaverhead Ranch located in southwest Montana near Yellowstone National Park. United States of America.

Reddit media is a controlled censored simulation of opposition. Fake resistance to Trump. I have mentioned USA California Reddit media several times.
Twitter Elon Musk USA
I haven’t mentioned Twiitter much in this posting because all of this is tiny-short commenting and full nonfiction books printed on paper are far richer and discuss the issues better than low-effort commenting messages. Twitter is USA media active measures. It is the avoidance of relevant serious nonfiction books on paper in the conditioned mass man mindsets of USA that I keep circling as elephants in the room.
Relevant. Nonfiction. Books. On. Paper.
Joe Rogan USA
Joe Rogan is active measures against nonfiction serious books printed on paper. United States of America active measures. There are plenty more examples of people promoting what Carl Sagan described as “celebration of ignorance” media. Active measures against sustained focus on important serious relevant nonfiction books on paper.

It is what you avoid. Show me where IN PUBLIC YOU STAND UP - you are quoting Marshall McLuhan, Neil Postman, Carl Sagan, Andrew Postman, Peter Pomerantsev, Dr. Bandy X Lee, Dr. Eva Berger… related to MAGA / Trumpism / Rupert Murdoch / Putinism / Surkov students media patterns. Your ability to match well-written though-out widely published ideas to the anti-reality crisis of year 2026.
It is your lack of alarm at the forest-level bonfires of nonfiction books printed on paper that spells it all out. You are here to drag it all down into tree tree tree and avoid the forest. Superficial, banalize it, mock it.
Nothing in this post or the links show how I’m a ‘trump-worshipper’ again you’re deflecting
I asked you to show me where IN PUBLIC you have stood up to media cults. Worship of media systems and media content. Show me your past history where you called this at. Fox News HDTV cultists, Rupert Murdoch’s global media cults, etc.
it is what you avoid. “Silhouette Void”, that defines the era. People who prize low-effort commenting and pressing “like button” and posting reaction-images in reactionary ways is the crisis of media ecology. You show all the symptoms of worshiping the mechanisms of power that Donald Trump / MAGA movement controls. Media addiction to low-effort commenting interaction. Any time day or night you can come to media systems and comment about your Donald Trump topic.
Again: Show me where you called out cults of media addicts in public? Where you showed public concern for the MAGA cult and not just your own personal self commenting today on meme platforms.
this is an incongruous statement that seems like pure defelection
I am deflecting to what? Printed books on paper by Carl Sagan, printed books on paper by Neil Postman, printed books on paper by Dr. Bandy X Lee and her 27 leaders.
You want my personal words to discuss trees of commenting, threads of trees of messages. I am very clear that my focus is on the NATO, USA, Pale Blue Dot, the entire planet, media ecology of nonfiction books vs. meme apps. The World Wide Web and how cults of decorations on messages, “meme decorations”, are a danger. The Meme Decoration is The Message. https://www.themediumisthemassage.com/the-book/
TLDR: ELI4; Lemmy meme-washing is the problem. Reddit is the center of the cult of Trump mockery. Joke-wrapping joke-washing of Trump for mental health memes and jokes is the crisis of August 2026.
You are feeding into the trump-meme-complex with your gish galloping posts instead of engaging with things that can actual oppose the system he’s a symptom off(big tech, anti-itelleculism)
You are feeding into the trump-meme-complex with your gish galloping posts
You want personal attention. Active measures. One on one ego stroking. Interaction. Interactive fiction storytelling, ARG on screens, via Lemmy commenting back and forth. Always avoiding the public library and relevant serious nonfiction books. I often even choose to cite dead authors (Carl Sagan dead, Marshall McLuhan dead, Neil Postman dead) to even show that the Trump MAGA USA August 2026 media interaction screen high-speed media problems can be described before it became a growing crisis July 6, 2011.
I keep discussing media systems. Adult education systems. Adult learning systems. Where adults get their information and how they relate to understanding that information.
Your addiction (or active measures promoting) is commenting, low-effort commenting, to have active measures against paper-printed books in the nonfiction selection of the media ecology and Trump mental health section of the public library. Low-effort high-speed electric media commenting, following Elon Musk leadership. What Carl Sagan described in year 1995 nonfiction book printed on paper: “The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30-second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less)”

“History, Stephen said, is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake.”
― James Joyce, Ulysses. Year 1922
“Joyce is, in the Wake, making his own Altamira cave drawings of the entire history of the human mind, in terms of its basic gestures and postures during all the phases of human culture and technology. As his title indicates, he saw that the wake of human progress can disappear again into the night of sacral or auditory man. The Finn cycle of tribal institutions can return in the electric age, but if again, then let’s make it a wake or awake or both. Joyce could see no advantage in our remaining locked up in each cultural cycle as in a trance or dream. He discovered the means of living simultaneously in all cultural modes while quite conscious.” — Marshall McLuhan, “The Medium is the Massage: An Inventory of Effects” by media analyst Marshall McLuhan and graphic designer Quentin Fiore, and coordinated by Jerome Agel. It was published in March 1967

I stand up to Rupert Murdoch openly with my name. I stand up to the owners of Reddit with my real name. I stand up to the owners of Facebook and Instagram with my real name.

What I know is you won’t stop commenting at me as a form of denial of service attack. Many low-effort commenting in a remote, ignored, area “corned” in a section of Lemmy commenting. This is what cult members do. This is what Fox News HDTV audiences behave like when you discuss cult addiction to the electric media systems orchestrated by the Rupert Murdoch family. People so attracted to their amusement entertainment media systems that they refuse to exit the simulation and will become aggressive and persistent against those criticizing media addiction itself.
Neil Postman year 1985
“What Huxley teaches is that in the age of advanced technology, spiritual devastation is more likely to come from an enemy with a smiling face than from one whose countenance exudes suspicion and hate. In the Huxleyan prophecy, Big Brother does not watch us, by his choice. We watch him, by ours. There is no need for wardens or gates or Ministries of Truth. When a population becomes distracted by trivia, when cultural life is redefined as a perpetual round of entertainments, when serious public conversation becomes a form of baby-talk, when, in short, a people become an audience and their public business a vaudeville act, then a nation finds itself at risk; a culture-death is a clear possibility. In America, Orwell’s prophecies are of small relevance, but Huxley’s are well under way toward being realized.” ― Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business. year 1985.

You are anti-woke. You fixate on money, economics, casinos and capitalist Trump as a topic posting on Lemmy. Us. vs. Them. You believe in having to have an enemy instead of confronting the addictions to fantasy fiction storytelling (Lemmy memes are fantasy fiction, Rupert Murdoch Fox News is fantasy fiction, Truth Social is fantasy fiction, Reddit is a cult of ficiton that mocks nonfiction, Surkov students create fantasy fiction, Kremlin Internet Research Agency fed fantasy fiction).
You are stuck on economics fiction fantasy storytelling. Inside the simulations.

Campbell: Economic Interpretation Myth
Joseph Campbell
Lecture I.1.1 - The Celebration of Life
Date: March 1, 1967
Venue: The Cooper Union
Now, I just want to speak about the phases in the development of any mythology. How did it start, and what happens to it?
I think one could say this: that all of the high cultures and low cultures and primitive cultures, and charming simple cultures, and great big enormous ones have grown out of myths. They are founded on myths. And what these myths have given has been inspiration for aspiration.
The economic interpretation of history is for the birds. Economics is itself a function of aspiration. It’s what people aspire to that creates the field in which economics works. And people who don’t have any aspirations—you know, the problem of a businessman who can’t get people to want anything. It’s the want; it’s the aspiration. And what is wanted is not simply one, two or three meals a day and a bed—that’s not enough. It’s got to be much more than that to make a life.
Now, where do these aspirations come from? They come from a very wonderful, childlike thing: fascination. You know, if you wanted to make money today… I think I know economists, but I’ll bet the thing to do would be to invest your money in something like cameras — things that people play with, things that they are fascinated by. These fascinations are the creations of new activities.
And when we look at the old cultures we can see — and some of it is very strange to see indeed…
You sure do not demonstrate it. Your own commenting media addiction is clear evidence I have been analyzing in your face to you. Your fixation on the high-speed TCP/IP delivery of content. Your inability to see you are harassing me and badgering me. Cornered me in an empty area of Lemmy to intimidate me and belittle everything Marshall McLuhan and Neil Postman ever said regarding electronic media systems (Lemmy). And turn everyone away from Dr. Bandy X Lee’s 27 leaders and their extreme relevance to August 2026 world wide DANGER.
you’re completely ignoring mine because of your pre-convinced notions supplied by the US government(Marxism/Communism == bad)
Your shallow and superficial concerns. Your fixation on this topic. Casinos in Vegas, Donald Trump casinos, economic systems. You do not grasp the “wake” of James Joyce’s 'Finn’s Hotel" year 1923 and Finnegans Wake May 4, 1939. You are anti-woke anti-wokeness and playing the Communism vs. Capitalism game.

In America, Orwell’s prophecies are of small relevance, but Huxley’s are well under way toward being realized.” ― Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business. year 1985.

President Ronald Reagan second term in White House year 1985, the last “entertainer President” before Donald J. Trump (Reality TV star entertainer).
In USA 2025, what you will typically witness is media addicts who for over 10 years, since June 16, 2015 - constantly repeat “Trump is a moron”, “Trump is an idiot”, over and over and over in perpetual rounds of mocking back and forth at touch media devices.
I read your links and taking them in, you’re completely ignoring mine because of your pre-convinced notions supplied by the US government(Marxism/Communism == bad) you are existing in an echo chamber and not even releasing it, read the books your governments as deemed Verboten
You are anti-woke. You fixate on money, economics, casinos and capitalist Trump as a topic posting on Lemmy. Us. vs. Them. You believe in having to have an enemy instead of confronting the addictions to fantasy fiction storytelling (Lemmy memes are fantasy fiction, Rupert Murdoch Fox News is fantasy fiction, Truth Social is fantasy fiction, Reddit is a cult of ficiton that mocks nonfiction, Surkov students create fantasy fiction, Kremlin Internet Research Agency fed fantasy fiction).
You are stuck on economics fiction fantasy storytelling. Inside the simulations.

Now, I just want to speak about the phases in the development of any mythology. How did it start, and what happens to it?
I think one could say this: that all of the high cultures and low cultures and primitive cultures, and charming simple cultures, and great big enormous ones have grown out of myths. They are founded on myths. And what these myths have given has been inspiration for aspiration.
The economic interpretation of history is for the birds. Economics is itself a function of aspiration. It’s what people aspire to that creates the field in which economics works. And people who don’t have any aspirations—you know, the problem of a businessman who can’t get people to want anything. It’s the want; it’s the aspiration. And what is wanted is not simply one, two or three meals a day and a bed—that’s not enough. It’s got to be much more than that to make a life.
Now, where do these aspirations come from? They come from a very wonderful, childlike thing: fascination. You know, if you wanted to make money today… I think I know economists, but I’ll bet the thing to do would be to invest your money in something like cameras — things that people play with, things that they are fascinated by. These fascinations are the creations of new activities.
And when we look at the old cultures we can see — and some of it is very strange to see indeed…
You sure do not demonstrate it. Your own commenting media addiction is clear evidence I have been analyzing in your face to you. Your fixation on the high-speed TCP/IP delivery of content. Your inability to see you are harassing me and badgering me. Cornered me in an empty area of Lemmy to intimidate me and belittle everything Marshall McLuhan and Neil Postman ever said regarding electronic media systems (Lemmy). And turn everyone away from Dr. Bandy X Lee’s 27 leaders and their extreme relevance to August 2026 world wide DANGER.
Your shallow and superficial concerns. Your fixation on this topic. Casinos in Vegas, Donald Trump casinos, economic systems. You do not grasp the “wake” of James Joyce’s 'Finn’s Hotel" year 1923 and Finnegans Wake May 4, 1939. You are anti-woke anti-wokeness and playing the Communism vs. Capitalism game.
