I wouldn’t say it “outside” as it would only make things worse getting how it works on the brain when your media is as shitty as it usually is.
Even on say hostages who would never take the GOP or Trump seriously beyond ordinary civility to all non politicians and non public figures in routine bloody contexts.
Has Si Valley met any..you know..non hostages? No one talks to those people..no one anyone would want to know.
This is really for people who have no concept that a reality or existence different from the web exists. And they want to bring this bullshit into the real world. Or as Andreessen puts it, the “real world”.
It makes a lot pr sense to me now that Roe v Wade used “privacy”

Vance On Trump’s Jesus Picture: ‘The President Was Posting A Joke'
Anthony Orrico
Tue, April 14, 2026
Vice President JD Vance tried to spin President Donald Trump’s now-deleted Truth Social post depicting himself as Jesus Christ in an AI-generated image.
Asked by Fox News’ Bret Baier on Monday about Trump’s recent clashes with Pope Leo XIV and the AI image, Vance defended the Jesus post and attempted to explain why the president eventually took it down.
“Well, first of all, Bret, I think the president was posting a joke,” Vance, who is Catholic, said. “And of course, he took it down because he recognized that a lot of people weren’t understanding his humor in that case.”
Vance then tried to paint Trump’s unorthodox use of social media as a positive attribute.
“I think the president of the United States likes to mix it up on social media, and I actually think that’s one of the good things about this president, is that he’s not filtered. He doesn’t send everything through a communications professional. He actually reaches out directly to the people,” Vance said.
“I did post it and I thought it was me as a doctor,” he told reporters at the White House. “Only the fake news could come up with that one.”
The cult programmed or in my case hostage brain forced to be polite, what goes askew is- yeah sure there is a lot of bullshit in society and media especially.
But that still doesn’t change the
weight of things.
When you have laid waste to science, the federal govt, destroyed the black middle class, started wars making life hell, raped women ranging in ages from maybe early teens to mid fifties, being edgy on social media doesn’t exactly even the ledger even if hypocritical pearl clutching grates in more trivial contexts.
But it is a powerful attack on the brain and senses. I would like to figure out how it works while kicking out this entire cottage industry on the threat of criminal liability. If you know how to turn this trash on, figure out how to turn it off, instead of bullshitting “but the switch is inside your head!!!!” The fuck it is asshole.
I laugh that I may not weep.
