  • Indeed.

    I’ve heard MAGA explained to me as a “Reverse Cargo Cult” of sorts.

    If you’re not familiar with Cargo Cults, there are isolated places all over the world with no real contact with the outside world. I understand “Isolated” and “No real contact” are saying the same thing, but I wanna drive the point home that these are places that have had no interaction with anyone but themselves.

    Sometimes that’s for a damn good reason as quite a few of them are outright hostile to visitors.

    Anyway, a phenomenon has happened where people in these areas will see planes in the sky and believe them to be Gods. Sometimes for one reason or another these planes crash or drop their cargo. The people in these areas will then examine these and try to recreate or restore radios they find, believing they can fly or contact the Gods, if only they build these devices correctly and pray to them enough. This never happens of course because they’re trying to build complicated machinery out of sticks and stones, but you get the idea.

    There’s actually one that believes the King of England is a God simply because they found photos of him, and actively worship them.

    They don’t know why their version of technology doesn’t work and the ones they find from above do, but they believe that if they keep trying and praying surely it will happen one day.

    Well MAGA is a Reverse Cargo Cult; They know they’re taking us down with them.

    Essentially, MAGA looks at the planes in the sky and says. “When we built our own it didn’t work, so the ones in the air don’t work either. It’s some kind of illusion and we should punish them for lying to us!”

    It’s why they rejected Biden and Kamala for saying they’ve been fixing the economy, even though it’s obvious from prior behavior that Trump will outright wreck it. They’ve given up on anything getting better, and just want to use Trump as the brick they wanna throw at the man behind the curtain pretending that planes can fly.

    I don’t know if I believe this explanation, but I figured I’d voice it in the hopes of creating a discourse.


  • Indeed, maybe I should try to see if I can get a better job than janitor.

    Maybe it would help this country a lot if businesses were encouraged to not require college degrees for as many positions. I mean the fact that they’re trying to hire people from third world countries who aren’t exactly “Harvard Material” for these gigs, I mean I’m not calling them dumb, heavens no. But in those kinds of places I wouldn’t be surprised to find out they’re still using Windows Vista if you know what I mean, basic computer literacy isn’t as common in these regions as it is here… So that kinda gives up the game right there doesn’t it?
