    Whats crazy to me is the tone in which is it written. It is so causual. It somehow really seems like they see their work and what they do as a game not something with real consequences. Or am I just hallucinating?

      no it really is. there is a tweet not from a politician but from an american median voter that goes along these lines: “why cast your vote because of what’s happening to anonymized people in the global south?” (the last phrase was verbatim what was said, hand on heart.) truly, to these people, distance from all of this allows them to completely abstract the ideas of human suffering or other humans outside of their bubble existing. i have no doubts that these trifles, like children men and women starving, have not been anything more than numbers to almost every political ghoul in the west for years. that’s how they get into the position they’re in, it’s the only way.

    Trump also posted a screenshot from his conversation with Rutte:

    This is some savage level of bootlicking.

      Once again proving that your success in a liberal democracy entirely depends on your degree of sycophancy.

      The libs on reddit and elsewhere spinning it as ‘What an epic own, he’s treating him like a baby!!’ is crazier, I guess its the only way they can cope with the blatant deference

    Reminds me of a video I watched where someone was talking about fawning as a learned behavior from growing up with a narcissist. And then they differentiated fawning from “fluffing”, where you are temporarily fluffing up a narcissist to get a desired result out of them, like in a professional work context, so you can just get through the project and then get away from them when you’re able to. This feels like textbook fluffing.

        Yeah a fluffer is a [gender the male pornstar is attracted to] that does varying acts on the pornstar before shots start to ensure proper performance.

        It’s basically the same thing just different situations.
