The people who will NEVER be honest about Trump

I feel like the people who look past every disgusting and fascist thing that Trump does are the sorts of people who, no matter how many appeals to ethics or facts could be assembled, couldn't be convinced that the My Lai massacre was evil.

A core tension within the alien "Disclosure" narrative

Steven Greer, one of the most prominent Disclosurists, claims that the US government and private military contractors are in possession of alien technology that could usher in an age of free energy and thereby a profound social, political and economic transformation for humanity, and that the truth about this tech is being concealed for this reason (so that Big Oil, the military industrial complex etc. can maintain control and continue to rake in profits, etc.). This would imply that the aliens themselves are peaceful and have superseded their own social and political problems and have achieved a more morally advanced society than we have, since they are advanced enough to not only have that technology but to use it to visit other star systems.  But Greer also claims that the inventions of people going back a century or more have been suppressed because these inventions offer free energy. The inclusion of the alien myth seems rather redundant here, but it also evinces a tension in ...

2025 was the year of the mediocre white man

As LBJ said, if you convince the most mediocre white man that he's better than the best black man, he'll gladly empty his pockets for you. The racist Trump administration, which routinely traffics in all kinds of racist tropes as well as the Great Replacement Theory, and which has smeared an entire community of people in Minnesota as "trash", has taken LBJ's statement to its zenith by acting as a giant DEI scheme for stupid and incompetent white men. One such mug is Pete Hegseth, probably the most unqualified Secretary of Defense ever and who is a clown whose only talents are getting drunk, raping women and being a racist piece of shit who loves the Confederacy and deletes the history of the contributions of people of color in the US armed forces. He's also a Christian Nationalist nonce whose favorite pastor thinks women shouldn't be allowed to vote.

Why are so many Christian evangelicals/fundamentalists/Nationalists also anthropogenic climate change deniers?

More broadly, why are they okay with destroying "God's green Earth"? Dominionism over custodianship. Most evangelicals are entirely scientifically illiterate and are thereby susceptible to the propaganda of anti-science grifters, creationist preachers, corporate liars (PR departments), conspiracy theorists and "Christian" politicians, especially if the arguments of these people are couched in terms of fighting against some "evil," such as abortion, "wokeness" or secular authority. Earth systems science, which incorporates atmospherics and biogeochemical cycles, tacitly involves accepting an old Earth, and for many religious extremists, this is beyond the pale. If science is "wrong" about evolution, then it might also be wrong about the Earth's other natural processes, including climate change, and by extension anthropogenic climate change must likewise be a "sham". "God chose Trump," so if he says that climat...
