menticide is probably the stupidest neologism I’ve ever heard - just genuinely the least mellifluous latinism I’ve ever heard. Dante and Virgil would’ve vomited at this noxious abuse of language

Jeff has clearly never spoken with someone from a totalitarian culture. Jeff should learn about what totalitarian propaganda does. Jeff, have a better term to describe totalitarian brainwashing?

lol, there’s one right there: “totalitarian brainwashing” Look: when a tyrant breaks the law to persecute someone he personally dislikes, it’s still illegal - even if the person is a war criminal like Bolton. In fact, this makes it much harder for us to ever prosecute Bolton for his actual crimes.

Jeff, I was observing that victims of TDS reflexively oppose any action taken by the target of their hatred. This sometimes leads to absurdities. Hypothetical question: If DT personally invented a safe, effective, & cheap cure for cancer, would many denizens of Bluesky give him credit for it?

Why are you dodging the point? How is the unlawful of John Bolton equivalent to curing cancer? It’s not even legal, and it makes actually legitimately prosecuting John Bolton for his crimes impossible. If you had a point to make here, you should make it - instead of inventing insane hypotheticals.

Jeff, I agree with you about selective prosecution. Not dodging. We agree. That said, please answer my hypothetical question. Be honest. If Trump invented a cheap, safe, and effective cure for cancer would many residents of Bluesky give him credit for it?

Where did you get the insane idea that Donald Trump is a doctor? Do you know anything about him?

Observers, notice how Jeff studiously avoids answering my hypothetical question. This is because he knows the answer is "No" but knows that admitting as such is insane. Under no circumstances will victims of TDS credit Trump with anything, ever. They will only hate and seethe. Which is insane.

If Hitler had cured cancer, would you become a Nazi and support him?

Jeff, thanks for that perfect illustration of how Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) has broken the brains of so many otherwise-intelligent people.

It sure seems like you’re obsessed with a fake medical diagnosis and don’t actually care about fighting tyranny. Why are you going around dispensing lectures about how people must give Trump credit for things he hasn’t actually done? You admitted you were WRONG here. Why haven’t you apologized?

Jeff's brainwashing is on display. Jeff implies that BEING HONEST is the same as supporting someone's politics. Hypothetical question since Jeff brought it up: If Hitler created a cheap, safe, and effective cure for cancer, would you give him credit for it? Or no ...

Absolutely not! Why would you? I don’t give a shit about “being honest;” I care more about ending tyrants. Why are you so hung up on giving Trump - or Hitler - credit? If Trump invented a cure for cancer, the best thing to do would be to kill him and steal it. Giving him credit would help nobody.

Also - if you agree, then why aren’t you apologizing to Micah?

Jeff displays his lack of integrity by dodging the question. Jeff has zero intellectual integrity. Jeff chooses lies and evasion over honesty. This is typical for victims of totalitarian menticide.

Jeff, it is a well known fact that totalitarian governments devote great effort to brainwashing their population. For example, both the USSR and Nazi Germany did this. The word "menticide" was coined (by a man who survived Gestapo torture) to describe that process. Got a better name?
