The US backing itself into a corner & throwing away allies with its trade wars and wrapping itself up in a warm blanket of paranoia..
"The U.S. government has banned American government personnel in China, as well as family members and contractors with security clearances, from any romantic or sexual relationships with Chinese citizens"

Poor sleep may fuel conspiracy beliefs, research suggests

@ricardoharvin I'm so sick of that argument. No, it doesn't.
Take it from someone who has had mental illness and who is on the spectrum. It's one of the biggest stigmas in the world.
Also, words have several meanings depending upon discipline - and in #psychology #racism is an umbrella term for #paranoia and #narcissism - which are huge problems nowadays. Both NPD and PPD are rampant.
You don't want to deal with that? You don't want to deal with the source - and that is pissing in the wind.
It looks like FBI Director Kash Patel trusts almost no one in the FBI. According to Kyle Griffin: "FBI Director Kash Patel inquired about replacing his FBI security detail with private guards, and has asked about maintaining a direct phone line to the White House, including in his car." #politics #paranoia
When did you first start worrying for humankind?

My latest post concerns the moment that I became uncertain about the survival of a species, thanks to an otherwise typical bus journey.

Not *all* of his F'ups are intentional.
My father has #Dementia. I see SO much of his behavior in T****. Simply making stuff up when he simply can't remember (then attacking those who point out his mistake as being "out to get him".)
The #paranoia (he never LOSES anything. It's always "stolen".) Can't separate fact from fiction.
I would NEVER let my father manage ANY responsibility in his condition (no matter how small) let alone run an entire country.
Consistent with Friend Computer's instructions, all Citizens will shortly receive a message requesting to understand what they got done last week.
Failure to respond will be taken as a request for termination.
#Privacy isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity.

Fear leads to anger.
Anger leads to hate.
Hate leads to suffering.
Suffering leads to Communism.
Happiness is mandatory.
Troubleshooters are Red Clearance,
Internal Security is Blue.
Trust in Friend Computer,
It knows what's best for you.
I'm the omnipotent omniscient benevolent overseer of all humanity. Ask me anything!
I am too paranoid to trust conspiracy theories which I don't invent myself.
Hmm... I was looking into Paranoia again on the off-chance I might play it again soon... and realized that what I thought was slightly outdated (the paranoia about communist traitors without even the slightest understanding of what communism is) is eerily prescient of current right-wing talking points.
Doesn't help that the disturbing belief in the infallibility of the obviously deranged Computer, the jack booted security, the clueless technologists... all feel familiar.
@tagesschau Ich halte das für falsvhe #Paranoia angesichts der miserablen #Verarbeitungsqualität.
Hinzu kommen dann tausende Akkuzellen an #LiCo / #LiIon / #LiPo - Akkus welche zum exothermen "Runoff" und damit #Metallfeuer neigen und schon gibt's nen großes Feuer.
Deshalb sind Teslas offiziell in viele chinesischen Städten und Autobahnen verboten!
Ich halte es für wahrscheinlicher dass dies wie der angebliche "#Anschlag" nur ne.weitere #FalseFlag ist, denn für's Abfackeln des Senats hat es anders als 1933 von Budget nicht gereicht...
Finished "The Madness" on Netflix. We enjoyed it, though it tapered off ever so slightly as it progressed.
At the start, it totally captures the paranoid vibe of a 1970s thriller like The Parallax View or even The Conversation (though with a bang-up-to-date plot).
But it lost a bit of that paranoid edge as it got closer to the end and became a bit more formulaic.
Still, well worth a watch. And the central performance from Colman Domingo is excellent.
it's also a sad joke because... #fluoride and #drinkingwater freakouts are batshit #paranoia for morons from 70 years ago, 1950s #redscare #johnbirchsociety bullshit
they are mining old stupid crap that was lampooned before most of us were born
so our era is now:
yoke dum dums via #socialmedia for #political #power by pandering to their #ignorance and #indecency, #fear and #hate
this is our world now
I stopped by HPB today while running errands for my family and came across this for less than in $8 and in very good condition. I hope @Computer approves!
