@jimcarroll "useful idiot" is a term for a person who unwittingly propagates mis/disinfo ops against western democracies. So let's say China & Russia had a PsyOp to convince Western citizens their institutions were failing - then using your platform to push that narrative would make the "useful idiot" term apply, no?

Oh, hey, something Mastodon people typically don't do is cringy flexes ... like posting pics of Biden with their kids as proof of ... nothing actually? <- the cringey part.

If you ask your Gen Z kid he'll tell you that's pretty "main character"

Jim, you're disappointing today. I"m not trying to be mean, but I am hoping you realize you're pushing the "it's all crumbling" message that's been linked to Russian troll farms and mimicked by VC catastrophists lately.

I'm betting your constitution is such that you can hear a blunt opinion!

@jimcarroll And yet voters in two red states have rejected anti-choice laws & judges and Biden was elected in 2020, Jim.

I'd think a "futurist" would realize it's important to look at all facts in totality rather than a select few.

As a non-futurist, I'm predicting you've been duped into being a "useful idiot" by Russian and Chinese propaganda whose goal is to push negative stories about western democracy to push pessimism.

I'm also predicting anyone who falls for that trap is not the future.
