I was referring to the show made by Mr Beast.

It’s up there with that time a rich youtuber decided to make Squid Game an actual reality TV show.

Yep. All of them. They’re considered a joke at first, but things get a lot more serious when they elect a Pope to run the US. China holds out for a while, but things turn south for them when they legalize conversion to the White Lords’ Church faith.

So yeah. Jesus was brought back to life by an alien. Muhammad spoke to an alien named Gabriel. The Buddha is actually an alien inhabiting a human body (they can do that in the story).

We’re on course to becoming the White Lords’ Church from the VN White or Black.

In that world, Trump is dead by the 2030s. Unrest and political troubles killed an alien attempting to make first contact. But religious MAGA, looking for a leader, decides to support the aliens. They claim that the aliens are angels sent by God, pointing to various events in the Bible as clear evidence of their influence. And then, since the people are eager to overthrow Musk, they decide to sign up with the aliens. Musk and his buddies are all dead/converted when the Church assumes control of the US in the late 2060s/early 2070s. And then they take over everything else by the start of the 22nd century.

The Church is Gilead if they favored Brave New World over 1984. And they’re a lot more stable, and rule a lot longer than Gilead, lasting until the 27th century at least.

Someone probably tried to No True Scotsman the mod. It was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

Or maybe the admins were getting too scary. The politics talk on a sub like that must’ve been immense. There must’ve been lots of bans by both mods and admins there. Eventually, the admins would’ve demanded that the mod get things back on track or the mod will be banned as well.

One problem is how to keep out competition like LEOs and other squatters seeing opportunity.

The other would be how to get through the door without destroying it - sure, you can go at it with an ax, but a destroyed door won’t stop wild animals coming in.

But if those issues can be solved, I think it’s viable.

Season 5 of America sure is building a lot of hype. I wonder if it will top the Season 4 Finale: A Vacation to the Capitol.

I wonder what a cage match between Trump and a locust from the Book of Revelation would look like.

The US is the Austria-Hungary of our time.

I shall answer, because I am a firm believer in capital punishment.

Death should be given because death should be the punishment for all crime. The white blood cells inside your body agree with me - they are eager to give the death penalty to any criminals infesting your body. There’s no pardons or rehabilitation or anything like that; your white blood cells know that there can be no tolerance for crime.

The full quote, if anyone’s interested:

I think it’s going very well. It was an operation, like when a patient gets operated on, and uh, it’s a big thing. I said this would exactly be the way it is. Uh, we have 6 or 7 trillion dollars coming into our country, and uh, we’ve never seen anything like it. Uh, the markets are gonna boom, the stocks’re gonna boom, the country’s gonna boom, and the rest of the world wants to see: Is there any way they can make a deal? They’ve taken away advantage of us for many many years. For many years, we’ve been at the wrong side of the ball, and I’ll tell you what: I think it’s gonna be unbelievable. The thing that people have to talk about - we’re up to almost 7 trillion dollars of investment coming into our country, and uh, you’ll see how it’s gonna turn out. Our country’s gonna boom.

And then there’s Chuck Grassley, and Trump’s psychotic cabinet.

Donald Trump has posted a response to the matter on Truth Social.

I think it’s going very well—The MARKETS are going to BOOM…

He elaborated further with this:

I think it’s going very well. It was an operation, like when a patient gets operated on, and uh, it’s a big thing. I said this would exactly be the way it is. Uh, we have 6 or 7 trillion dollars coming into our country, and uh, we’ve never seen anything like it.

Trump is one of those people who thinks that saying it enough will make it true.

It’s because the entire penguin species is plotting to overthrow the United States, and by extension, overthrow Trump. Obviously, Trump had to show the penguins that he isn’t going to tolerate their interference.

Controversial opinion, but I believe anesthesia is even better than sex. If you’re ever been put under for surgery, you know what I’m talking about.

And they say that DMT can top even that. Only problem is that you have to take a trip outside the US to get it.

Mostly, yeah.

The White or Black aliens are a lot nicer than the Terra Invicta aliens. They only launch their invasion because the religious organization asks them to, and even then, the aliens don’t hurt anyone intentionally.

Looking at the Terra Invicta factions, they end up like this in White or Black:

• Project Exodus never gets off the ground.
• The Protectorate is absorbed into the Servants, as the Protectorate comes to believe that the Servants’ methods are a better way to assert control over the human population.
• The Initiative is wiped out during World War III. Remnants are absorbed into the Resistance and Humanity First.
• As things get more desperate, the Resistance is absorbed into Humanity First.
• The Academy leads a strong alliance of nations in the East, but they are ultimately absorbed into the Servants around ~2098.
• Humanity First is greatly weakened in the early 22nd century, and nearly destroyed in the 23rd century, but small rebel factions continue to exist into the 27th century.
• The Servants control the entire Earth by the early 22nd century, and they take big steps to assert their rule in the 23rd century. They are unambiguously the winner in the 27th century.

The current election is done, but there will be more in the future. I believe he’s referring to those.

The US is most similar to the 2030s-early 2050s US in the Chinese-written White or Black (Chinese variant of Brave New World).

• An alien shows up, and an international team sent to investigate kill it by accident.
• A bunch of aliens show up a few years later, but they’re content to float in the sky.
• After deciphering their language, humanity discovers that the aliens seek asylum on Earth, and they claim that the human race is doomed unless humanity does some immediate course correction.
• “Lol, no.”
• Meanwhile, a group of religious MAGA Republicans (Trump is presumably dead at this point) form a religion devoted to worshiping the aliens, believing that they’re angels sent by God.
• The aliens’ predictions come to pass. The collapsed US is then taken over by the alien supporting religious organization in the late 2060s-2070s.

In a place as polarized and corrupt as the US, Voter ID is merely a tool to keep Red or Blue in power. Tomfoolery involving the invalidation of a side’s enemies’ IDs is near certain.

Trump has this to say:

VOTER I.D. JUST APPROVED IN WISCONSIN ELECTION. Democrats fought hard against this, presumably so they can CHEAT. This is a BIG WIN FOR REPUBLICANS, MAYBE THE BIGGEST WIN OF THE NIGHT. IT SHOULD ALLOW US TO WIN WISCONSIN, LIKE I JUST DID IN THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, FOR MANY YEARS TO COME!

Sounds like Trump has plans to make sure people like Susan Crawford don’t get elected in the future.
