Yeah, it's like someone figured the best way to destroy a country and it's all going according to plan. It's such a trainwreck, it's hard to imagined it's not planned.

I'm not saying it's planned, it's just so bizarre.

[–] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 50 points 2 days ago (1 children)

By all means you should acknowledge it was planned.

That there are no prominent discussions of conspiracy from our past outspoken conspiracy ideologues shows how fucked up the entire situation is

[–] courageousstep@lemm.ee 29 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Holy heck, you make an excellent point. This kind of activity should have conspiracy theorists working overtime. I haven’t heard of any bubbling to the surface. No “Q-anon”-type theory about why this is all happening the way it is.

Is that because most conspiracy theorists have been undercover disinformationists? Is that because most conspiracy theorists are actually in support of the values the coup is taking on (eugenics, authoritarianism, etc.)? Is it only because the left is saying what’s actually happening behind the scenes and no one came come up with any explanation crazier than that?

Huh. Interesting.

Looks like the conspiracy theorists are really just GRU agents:

Conspiracy theorists generally stop caring when the media proves they're right. Trump hadn't even left his office (his 1st term I mean) when prove came out Russia meddled in the us elections.

He hadn't even taken office when it was known. That's how Moscow Mitch got his name.

Here you go. Take extra time looking into Praxis Nation in Greenland. The Nerd Reich is a terrifying bunch.

It was all planned. They wrote it all down, called it "Project 2025", then said they definitely wouldn't do it whilst giving a big wink and crossing their fingers. Aparently that was enough to convince enough people.

I mean, Project 2025 was the plan.

It was in all the newspapers and everything.

don't forget declaring hostile trade positions towards everyone. trump has essentially put sanctions on the USA from inside it

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago

Weird. He has a choice.

  1. Make a trade agreement
  2. Be a dick and threaten to take things by force.

All resources were there for the asking, but not as a zero-sum.

It's like they skipped the war and fighting part and just jumped straight to surrender and dismantling the country.

They gave in before the fighting even started or was announced.

It's like going to a street fight, tearing open your shirt and slicing your our throat before anyone ever said anything bad about your gang.

Oligarchs destroy everything they touch.

I think their plan is to break every public institution, privatize it and buy it back for one tenth of its worth.

Same thing happened in the USSR in the 90s.
