  • I mean no one wants to be hated by the in-crowd. I think him losing progressive clout back when he was with old grimey hit him hard. He spent a fortune in reddit psychophants, cartoon spotlights, TV exposure, and other media to get people the progressives to like him.

    It didn’t work, and rather than slinking into background like other billionaires he made an emotional decision to publicly pivot alt-right. I think this really is who he is, but I don’t think he actually likes it. He embraces loudly it because he knows we hate it.

    I think deep down all these adults with power who act emotionally just want to be beloved, but cannot accept that their core values make them reviled. I can definitely understand him trying to do right by his kids, in his own warped logic sense

    I think when first contact happens between loved ones, a common reality is unconsciously agreed upon where the family comes together under the bodies they inhabited at the time they were all together.

    Since the long deceased ones have likely watched the life of the newly deceased with interest, I think that initial reality is then slowly pushed away and the (grown) children take on their more mature forms and the grand parents take on their younger forms, and they all walk away from the meeting as equals

    That’s how I’d do it


  • We were a major financial contributor to the EU. We also laundered a lot of money to them that we would then get back as EU benefits, it was a weird financial win-win situation for us and the EU

    I think we would be welcomed back, but I do expect some concessions to be pulled as punishment and as a warning to other countries with out of control loudspeaker groups signalling to come out
