I was about to make an analogy about #Trump being a #ScoobyDoo #villain, but most of those villains were actually pretty smart. They (almost) got away with a lot of dastardly shit.

Here, Trump is doing it out in the open, and explaining what he's doing for the slow ones in the back - sans shark shaped torpedo skis - all while America applauds.

"Shut up America, go back to bed. Your government is in control again. Here is American Gladiators. Here's 56 channels of it!" - Bill Hicks

A quotation from Bierce

PATRIOTISM, n. Combustible rubbish ready to the torch of any one ambitious to illuminate his name. In Dr. Johnson’s famous dictionary patriotism is defined as the last resort of a scoundrel. With all due respect to an enlightened but inferior lexicographer I beg to submit that it is the first.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914?) American writer and journalist
“Patriotism,” The Devil’s Dictionary (1911)

Bis sich die #USA von dieser zweiten (dystopischen) Amtszeit von #Trump erholt haben, werden Jahrzehnte vergehen.

Und #ElonMusk ist meines Erachtens der Bösewicht, wie er in Marvel-Filmen oder Bond-Krimis vorkommt.

Und seit bekannt ist, dass #AI-ChatBots Menschen bewusst betrügen können (nzz.ch/technologie/studie-kuen) und #Oracle alle AI-Tools zusammenführen will (m.slashdot.org/story/438703), ist die Vorstellung eines „#Skynet-Zeitalters“ nicht mehr weit.

#WordWeavers 01/10/25 - Antagonist POV: Do you have any flaws?

Corvus: NONE! What made you think I had flaws? I'm PERFECT!

Fenrir: My biggest flaw is that I still let myself get attached to people sometimes. My job would be a lot easier if I cared about no one.

Rhea: I am flawless ✨ Just kidding! I'm actually kind of dumb 😆 Well, it's more like I don't think before I do things lol!
