I’ve never seen anything in the US more complicit towards fascism and autocracy than the US media.

yes, including social media. People think adopting Donald Trump methods of dehumanizing those you disagree with, Donald Trump Twitter-think and Tweet-length mental attitudes is actually addressing the problem... in reality, it is joining in with the bonfires of goodness. Instead of a "we are under siege mentality" of posting a thread to the top of every social media platform every 6 hours since 2015 when it was clear Donald Trump and Putin wanted to fulfill their "Conservative International 2013" politician aims, people have just mocked and gone along with the total mockery media values of MAGA / Donald Trump Twitter-tweeting thinking.

People are entirely unable to defend and resist absurd comedy, surreal humor, surreal absurd "jokes', they all end up joining in / jumping on the bandwagon with the mocking and mockery.

Neil Postman was correct in 1985: “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; culture-death is a clear possibility.” ― Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business, 1985

 

Plead Out Loud: Bible clergy, Christian Clergy in USA are teaching The Bible ass-backwards. Levant Mythology is Inverted in meaning in year 2025. Bible verse "1 John 4:20" and "1 John 3:17" are inverted

  1. Bible verse "1 John 4:20" from 2,000 years ago... saying "I love God" is wrong, "I love Jesus" is ass-backwards and wrong, "I love Allah" is wrong, "I love Yahweh" is wrong.

  2. Bible verse "1 John 4:20" ... saying "I hate Mexicans" and behaving in hate towards Mexicans is wrong. "I hate liberals" wrong, "I hate Muslims", wrong, "I hate Ukraine people", wrong. You are liars if you hate any living person.

  3. Bible verse "1 John 3:17" - DOGE / Elon Musk / Donald Trump do not have Love in their heart.

  4. It is all being taught by the clergy / teachers ass-backwards, inverted meaning, to hate and to hate harder when someone disagrees, ass-backwards understanding. "No other revelations of this desert god are admitted to exist, and Extra ecclesiam nulla salus (“outside the church there is no salvation”). To the formula of mythic dissociation, there must now be added that of “social identification”: identification with Israel, with the Church as the Living Body of Christ, or with the Sunna of Islam — each body over-interpreted by its membership as the one and only holy thing in this world. And the focal center and source of all this holiness is concentrated in each case in a completely unique and special fetish — not a symbol, but a fetish: (1) the Ark of the Covenant in the Temple; (2) the Torah in the Synagogue; (3) the Bible of the Reformation; (5) the Koran, as well as (6) the Ka’aba, of Islam." - https://thesethingsinside.wordpress.com/2013/04/18/joseph-campbell-says-religious-literalism-sets-satan-in-the-seat-of-god/

AI-generated art cannot be copyrighted, rules a US Federal Judge::United States District Court Judge Beryl A. Howell found that AI-generated artwork can’t be copyrighted, putting to rest a lawsuit against the US Copyright Office over its refusal to copyright an AI-generated image.

 

I found one post from 12 hours ago that describes the problem: https://lemmy.ml/post/2650814 - but that's all I've seen. Content is way down on lemmy.ml with nothing coming in from .world

EDIT: seems that lemmy.ml is getting some content delivered to .world, but .world communities seem islands on .ml that only have local new posts/comments.
