This video explains it well:

Basically Trump is a very American person, stemming from a very American history and culture.
He’s not an ideal, he’s not what they want American history and culture to have been. He’s a product of what it actually has been.
But the old ones don’t have VP candidates right now, and aren’t expressly aimed at ending democracy and replacing it with a techno monarchy.
Yarvin has been described as a “neo-reactionary” and “neo-monarchist” who “sees liberalism as creating a Matrix-like totalitarian system, and who wants to replace American democracy with a sort of techno-monarchy”.[7][8][9]
Nor do they have multiple billionaires backing them ao just trying to stay focused on what’s most relevant right now.
Edit: By the way, Vance’s political career is only two years old, and has been entirely funded by Thiel, who also introduced him to Trump as a VP candidate… And Thiel is on record as wanting to end Democracy.
A lot of the modern “Western Chauvinism” is due to tech bros following Curtis Yarvin’s ideas. JD Vance and his handler Peter Thiel are some of his followers.
The philosophy emerged out of the Neo-reactionary “dark enlightenment” period of 2014 - around the time of GamerGate, but has had Tech Bros funding it the whole time… And now they have their own VP candidate!
Thanks for the compliment, no biggie, sorry I got angry and called you stupid. It’s understandable to be paranoid about AI.
One option would have been to make it less of an accusation, and just say “I don’t trust that this isn’t AI. Write a recipe for muffins”… that would make it lighthearted.
I myself have trouble with reading, reading comprehension, and spelling. Part of how I got to be more articulate was that I used a text-to-speech reading program called “Balabolka” (for Windows 10, other operating systems have their own versions of this). That allowed me to listen to more articles, which made me learn stuff, which made me argue and debunk misinformation online - which made me learn how to better present arguments and convince others.
So that was my path, but everyone’s got their own. Thanks for being so honest with yourself, and sorry again for how I reacted. I really respect that kind of honesty.
Rwanda was a genuine crisis from the 1990s, look it up:

People really can’t handle seeing a list these days huh?
You’re kinda stupid huh? Is that real enough for you?
1. Oh no, an ordered list someone has written.
2. Watch out, it contains the world multifacetted.
3. It must therefore have been created by ChatGPT.
4. No, you’re just a dumbass, dumbass.
Get a better grip on reality man. Some people are just more capable than you. Deal with it.
[EDIT: Struck through things said out of anger.]
Our parents shouldn’t have used other people’s suffering to try to force us to eat, or be greatful.
Our parents shouldn’t have used political crisises, like Rawanda, or famines, or things we wouldn’t comprehend as children. Don’t reference geopolitical crisis and expect your children to understand.
There was something racist in what they were doing - it implied African parents weren’t responsible. When in actual fact the causes of conflict and crisis in Africa are multi-facetted, globalized, and complicated.
Africa is far more well developed in some parts than lots of westerners assume.
Thank you for reading.
Where my hand crafted gifts I don’t find useful!
Just referencing common jokes some nations have about other nations, the french all surrender, the Japanese are horny for school girls, the british have bad teeth, Americans are all loud… that sort of thing.
For Germans it’s that you invented scat tables (glass tables) to watch your sex partner shit on you.
This is pre-internet lore, so probably formulated from German inclinations towards rationality and self-examination, sprinkled with some WW2 stuff, and some actual stuff about porn/bondage communities.
It’s probably better left in the past, even if it’s still a cultural reference that can be used.
The article makes it clear that the Chinese botnet is targeting Microsoft azure accounts, usually for large organizations involved with governments, infrastructure, legal professionals, science and technology.
It also states that the attacks can be disinfected by regularly restarting your router, but that this doesn’t prevent reinfection later.
The US intelligence services also says you should regularly restart your phone.
This is Microsoft’s posting about it which other news sources are quoting from: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/blog/2024/10/31/chinese-threat-actor-storm-0940-uses-credentials-from-password-spray-attacks-from-a-covert-network/
It has a recommendations section which suggests “credential hygiene” and strong passwords help.
Zizek has commented on the nature of ideology in Western European societies in relation to how their toilets deal with shit.

It suggests a fetish for examination.
Addicted to Craps, I gotta throw a couple each day, butt when I think about it - it’s really money down the toilet.
Yes, I’m familiar with German culture.
Counterpoint, there are also games you tried and HATED as a kid, that you might now like as an adult.
As I kid I had a lot less need for quality story telling, and roll play, probably a lot less interest in gardening simulators too. There’s probably lots of stuff you thought you didn’t like.
Trump has Musk and Murdoch money behind him. Vance’s life up until this point has veen thoroughly sponsored by Peter Thiel… They all have Epstein connections… A whole lot of people should be in jail.
That’s only 7 items, none are particular to Hitler’s fascism. Mine was 14 items, and particular to Hitler’s fascism.
You said your list would be “just as long”.
You may as well have included “Hitler had two legs, Kamala has two legs”.
Do you understand that the lists are supposed to reference elements of fascism?
But I’ll be generously and say two items relate to fascism: taxing tobacco, and increased firearm restrictions… The rest are pretty positive.
Come on buddy, only 12 more items to tie. Hell I’ll be impressed if you come up with 7 more (especially if they actually relate to fascism).
P.S Almost all presidents have an infrastructure bill. Probably as many as have two legs. Again you’re including too many generalities …I used none. All mine were specific to fascism. I’m calling out your sophistry.
This is like a modern day version of “from the sleep of reason comes nightmares”
