What if Social Media meme amusement parks were breeding grounds for shallow thinking and Russia has exploited amusement itself via psychological warfare?

What if Neil Postman was right in 1985 about entertainment mindset?

Jeffery Epstein called Trump “Functionally illiterate.”

Trump can barely read, but he has a system and it requires total fealty. He gets that by elevating people to positions that they have no business holding.

Examples: Pete Hegseth, RFK, Dr. Oz, Pam Bondi, Karoline Leavitt, Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, Big Balls

That’s why Bolton is out of the White House and that’s why Trump wants to work with members of the very same regime in Venezuela that he took military action against.

"The system itself could not have intended this in the beginning, but in order to sustain itself it was compelled to go all the way.”

Neil Postman 1985

"For all his perspicacity, George Orwell would have been stymied by this situation; there is nothing “Orwellian” about it. The President does not have the press under his thumb. The New York Times and The Washington Post are not Pravda; the Associated Press is not Tass. And there is no Newspeak here. Lies have not been defined as truth nor truth as lies. All that has happened is that the public has adjusted to incoherence and been amused into indifference. Which is why Aldous Huxley would not in the least be surprised by the story. Indeed, he prophesied its coming. He believed that it is far more likely that the Western democracies will dance and dream themselves into oblivion than march into it, single file and manacled. Huxley grasped, as Orwell did not, that it is not necessary to conceal anything from a public insensible to contradiction and narcoticized by technological diversions. Although Huxley did not specify that television would be our main line to the drug, he would have no difficulty accepting Robert MacNeil’s observation that “Television is the soma of Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World.” Big Brother turns out to be Howdy Doody." ― Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business, year 1985
