Accounts that accept and push official narratives minutes after an event like in Florida are highly suspicious. They are either controlled disinformation or still sleep walking mouth breathers who never question things that need to be questioned.
This is basically the plot of Total Recall. Cohaagen ran a monopoly on Mars’s air supply, charged people to breathe, and cut it off whenever the colony got out of line.
The rebels’ whole demand was free air.

Leftists saw Charlie Kirk murdered in front of them and they immediately stood up and started cheering and laughing and pumping their arms while Charlie Kirk was bleeding out and an active gunman was on the loose. They deserve Darth Vader.

The reason there’s debate over that “plane or missile” crash near Mar-a-Lago is simple. For years the government has lied about everything from wars to elections to lab leaks, so people no longer take official stories at face value.
Missiles can be made to look like planes. Planes can be made to look like missiles. Audio can be faked. Video can be manipulated.
Is there even a point in debating it? If it’s a lie, we’ll never know the truth. That’s the real cost of all the past deceptions. Trust is gone, and once it’s gone, every story gets questioned.

Lots of mid-curver responses along the lines of "But ZOMG he killed a bunch of kids 😲"
Yes, slaughtering children is evil. Duh.
But that's not the point and there are several easy reasons why this is such a brutally mid curve take.
1) Anakin is a tragic hero because his desires are all so deeply good and rightly ordered. He wants nothing more than to rescue his mother from slavery. He is competent and quick to learn. He struggles to follow the Jedi while they repeatedly treat him with disdain and derision as they pathologize his human and rational concerns. Yet he still tries to honor and stay true to them due to his loyalty, and arguably, his love for Obi-Wan and Padme. Even as he does so, the Council repeatedly denies him what is good and right on the basis of ✨bad vibes errrm✨ (sounds familiar, ever heard of Toxic Masculinity™️?)
This is the experience of the vast majority of men today. That's why Anakin resonates. 98% of jobs have gone to women under an administration that men stepped up to vote for. We get overlooked for promotions so another person of color can make a LinkedIn post celebrating her promotion. We watch our own get stabbed to death in the streets of Britain by foreign brown people and are told there's nothing we can do about it. We are the ones who will get sent to the front lines and die for the country in a war. But when we dare to speak out against feminism, mass immigration, LGBTQ, or even god forbid, a woman strangling her children to death, we are full of hate.
Anakin is a tragic hero who teaches us a profound moral caution: pathologize a young man's rightly ordered desires for his family, his country, and his future, and you reap what you sow.
"From my point of view, the Jedi are evil."
2) To that point, Lucas had to make Anakin evil for the plot because up until he slaughters the younglings, he has done nothing truly evil. Sure, he's broken a few rules (like marrying his girlfriend in secret--so evil) and been a bit hotheaded; but until that point, anyone reasonable in the audience would look at Anakin and say, "I get it--yeah the Jedi really did kinda screw you over and Palpatine was the only one who actually showed care and was willing to listen." I would argue, if Anakin doesn't kill the younglings, you can't find any fault in his story arc at all other than being angry and letting rage consume him, but at that point, you can understand it because those he trusted most betrayed him. So, for the purposes of the plot, Lucas has to show Anakin giving in to the Dark side fully so he can become the big bad Darth Vader, the villain of the sequels.
Miss me with the self righteous "BuT He KiLleD KiDs ZOMG." You're pitching me a mid-curve ball right into the spot where I am going to smack it out of the park and leave you with your Jedi Brainwashed Head bowed and your glove covering you in face in shame. That's the moment that Anakin snapped because those he trusted most had so deeply and utterly betrayed him after a long series of abuses. When men are pathologized in the way Anakin was, while simultaneously being expected to protect and sustain the same order that pathologizes us, we inevitably become violent.
In the world today, that violence is mostly directed inward as evidenced by the male suicide rate.
Anakin is the tragic hero for men in our time. We see ourselves spiritually in his struggle.

My mom didn’t really love me. Pretty mad about that. I believe in healthcare. I’m a terrorist. And I’m running for US Senate. Here’s why I need your vote.

Any white idiot that votes for this terrorist should be sent to the middle east to live!

Nicki Minaj has done more deeply thought out and accurate psychological analysis of left wing political candidates in this one post than any paid “journalist” at a legacy media outlet has done in their entire careers
If you listen carefully it’s a misplaced anger at his own parents for not making him feel worthy that turned into raging jealousy of other children who had parents that lifted them up and poured into them. He’s projected all of that onto white people. He needs to mend his heart before thinking about running for any office. White ppl haven’t hurt him. He knows exactly who did. Notice how he doesn’t get the satisfaction he was craving when the interviewer simply anchors himself & doesn’t validate that experience. We should all do more of this. Don’t validate anyone’s experience for the sake of temporary bonding.

AI is going to replace you.
It’s going to replace me.
It’s going to replace the people building it.
And eventually, if technological progress continues far enough, there may be very little economically necessary work left for humans to perform.
I don’t see why that’s automatically a bad thing.
For thousands of years, humanity has spent enormous amounts of time and energy trying to survive.
Now we’re potentially approaching an era where intelligence and labor could become abundant.
And people want to stop it because they’re afraid of losing their job titles.
What an incredibly small way to think about the future.

She calls it “process” because she has no cultural or family ties to the 250 years of America. She has no childhood of parades or reenactments or 4th of July. She has no aunts and uncles who fought and served. No heritage. No patrimony. No tradition. Her parents are from failed nations who happened to set up camp here. They could have gone to England or Canada. And so ungrateful Kamala, despite all her accomplishments in America, is still angry she was denied power in 2024, and now wants to undo America because America is just an idea, and one she despises.
Kamala is the poster child of failed immigration policy. Nothing more than an unassimilated, bitter anchor baby. About as American as falafel.
