I finally got a minute to sit down and fix this thing so let’s do this, imma document this process as that’ll probably actually motivate me to get it done.
I’ve run immediately into an issue, I never actually write my stuff down all my worldbuilding info is purely in my head which I have discovered is a problem. Idk if this is just like a me thing or what but apparently when I don’t write stuff down I come up with stuff on multiple separate occasions and end up fusing them together but because I don’t physically see the previous systems like listed i don’t register that it doesn’t make sense.
What notes from the og concept I have so far:
1 the selection of the leader (the high puppetmaster) is strength based but also is a successor picked by the previous leader but also it’s a democratic election??
2 the high puppetmaster has absolute power but also the grand priest and great tribunal have the authority to undo whatever the high puppetmaster does and prevent him from doing things
3 has a functional constitution that must be followed by the government officials
2 that’s it??? I thought I had more but no just a few incredibly contradictory things????
Goals:
1 fix the many contradictions, this should be possible I just gotta either remove some stuff or make one thing more prominent while others are more minor
2 define specific powers of each individual part of the government
3 figure out the legal system
4 figure out literally everything else ig
Potential hurdles:
So here’s my main issue, It would be really easy to just remove some details, mske it basically a parliamentary democracy with a creative election process and call it a day before doing everything else. The problem is that I know my plot and my plot has also been crafted over the span of 8 years and is likely the reason this system is so messed up.
Every single part of this government structure plays a vital role in some of the most important parts of my plot.
This has gone from a relatively simple and fun creative writing project to completely reworking several major plotpoints within my story…
I’m screaming both In anguish but also in excitement cuz this is def gonna be a very fun project lmao

I was thinking about writing a story of two people that exchange bodies. It can be a man and woman or man and man or whatever.
But, the problem is that one is a democrat and the other is a republican. How would it be for them to pretend be each other with their different ideologies? 🤔. They could also have a friend in common that is neutral.
Update: I decided that it will be a woman (left) and a man (right) that are politics studying in an University. They would be candidates for the presidency. After they exchange bodies, they try to ruin each other's groups.

When a drunk and urine-soaked Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., went live on TikTok this past Saturday night, viewers rightfully assumed she was going to rant about Jewish Martians stealing elections with their hypno-rays, or that Joe Biden is a holographic projection.
But rather than yet another incoherent string of crackpot conspiracy theories, something else entirely happened.
"I can't do this anymore," she said, tears in her eyes. "I want my life back."
She then removed her blonde wig to reveal a chic pixie cut.
"My real name is Tweety McDaniels, and I am an actress."
Over the course of three hours, McDaniels spoke at length about her early career as a struggling young actress in 1990s Hollywood, featuring in ads for discount hemorrhoid cream and starring in schlocky direct-to-video horror films, such as "Homeschool Massacre 2" and "Murder Hamsters Go to College."
But it was around the two-hour mark when she revealed the origins of the deranged, conspiracy-fueled persona of Marjorie Taylor Greene.
"It started as a bit for a sketch comedy show we were doing at a laundromat in Burbank," she said. "A tape of the show somehow got into the hands of someone at the Georgia Republican Party, they thought it was real, and the rest is history."
When one viewer asked McDaniels if she regretted her role in hastening the downfall of American society, McDaniels only nodded.
"I never thought it'd go this far, or for this long," she said. "But between all the drinking and drugs and daily threats of violence and death by various Russian-controlled assets in the GOP, Tweety McDaniels faded away until nothing was left."
The video has since been deleted.

The crisis of the world - 1933 and 2023
Thomas Weber
Memorise content
What does 1933 teach us? If we understand National Socialism as a form of illiberal democracy, we can see that today's variants could easily slide into something worse. Then as now, exaggerated perceptions of crisis play an important role.
In times when several major crises are brewing into what is perceived as an existential poly-crisis, fears of the political consequences of this perception spread. The most spectacular case of the collapse of a democracy - the collapse of the Weimar Republic in January 1933 - is therefore repeatedly scrutinised in the hope of discovering lessons for the present.
A prime example of this in recent years is what has been happening in the United States: since the New York Times columnist Roger Cohen greeted his readers with "Welcome to Weimar America" in December 2015, "Weimerica" has developed into a veritable genre of opinion pieces and books. After the attack on the Capitol in Washington in January 2021, the son of an Austrian SA man also used his fame as a Hollywood actor and former governor of the US state of California to record a video message to the world: In it, Arnold Schwarzenegger spoke about his father and drew direct comparisons between the Reichspogromnacht, the Nazi anti-Jewish pogrom of 9 November 1938, and the situation in the US in early 2021. to resolve the footnote[3]
It is therefore not surprising that Adolf Hitler is more dominant in public discourse today than he was a generation ago. Between 1995 and 2018, the frequency with which Hitler was mentioned in English-language books rose by an astonishing 55 per cent. In Spanish-language books, the frequency even increased by more than 210 per cent in the same period. To break up the footnote[4] This increase is a result of both a growing perception of crisis and another phenomenon: an awareness of how much the world we live in today can be traced back directly and indirectly to the horrors of the "Third Reich" and the Second World War.
But the world that emerged in 1933 is not invoked everywhere in order to understand and interpret today's situation. Strangely enough, one country in the heart of Europe has taken a different direction: Germany itself. Here, the frequency with which Hitler was mentioned in books fell by more than two thirds between 1995 and 2018. The same trend applies to other terms that refer to the darkest chapter of Germany's past, such as "National Socialism" and "Auschwitz". To resolve the footnote[5] However, a declining interest in National Socialism should not lead to the false assumption that today's Germany is less strongly characterised by the legacy of the "Third Reich" and the horror that the Germans spread throughout Europe. The legacy of National Socialism defines who the Germans are, and has done so since the day Hitler was appointed Reich Chancellor in January 1933.
New "special path"
In Germany, there was probably not so much explicit publicity about National Socialism because it was believed that the country had learnt from the past and built an exemplary political system with a corresponding society that had internalised the lessons of National Socialism. The prevailing narrative of the early Berlin Republic was that Germany had taken a "special path" towards dictatorship and genocide in the 19th and early 20th centuries. With reunification in 1990, however, the country had finally left this path and had fully arrived in the West. To resolve the footnote[6] According to this interpretation, the Berlin Republic was a new player in international politics, working side by side with its partners in Europe and the world to secure peace and stability at home and abroad.
However, the varying frequency with which Hitler, Auschwitz and National Socialism are referred to in books in Germany and abroad shows that Germany did not abandon its special path in 1990, but rather embarked on a new one. Germany's actual special path is that of its second (post-war) republic, which was founded in 1990 and, if one follows the argumentation of journalist and historian Nils Minkmar, collapsed in the wake of Putin's war of aggression against Ukraine. Germany's second republic, writes Minkmar, "took a holiday from history, was finally able to enjoy the moment like Faust and, also like Faust, made a pact - with Putin and with bad consequences". To resolve the footnote[7] However, Germany's holiday from history came to an abrupt end with the Russian invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022. In the words of Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz: "24 February 2022 marks a turning point in the history of our continent." To resolve the footnote[8] Scholz is right when he speaks of a turning point, but it does not primarily concern "our continent", but first and foremost his own country. The Russian invasion of Ukraine made many Germans suddenly aware of the realities of international politics that had been present to Germany's neighbours for some time.
The Faustian pact was not born of malice - Germany's second republic had been founded and governed with the best of intentions. Rather, a certain short-sightedness had prevailed that prevented many Germans from seeing what many of their international partners had long recognised after Russia's previous invasions or the shooting down of MH17 - the Malaysia Airlines plane that was shot down by a Russian missile in Ukrainian airspace on its way from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur in July 2014. And this short-sightedness is closely linked to the normative conclusions that the protagonists of the Second German Republic had drawn from the country's experience with National Socialism, which differed quite drastically from those drawn by other countries.
As a result, many Germans relied on soft power and had little interest in hard power - without realising that the former is just hot air if it is not accompanied by the latter. At the same time, many failed to recognise that Putin's aggressive approach since the day he took office was in line with earlier phases of Russian history. This is also reflected in a sharp decline in references in German-language publications to terms associated with the dark side of Russia's past, such as "Gulag", "Stalin", "Prague Spring" or "popular uprising". Dissolving the footnote[9] In English-language books, the number of mentions of the terms "Stalin" and "Prague Spring" remained relatively constant between 1995 and 2018, while mentions of the "Gulag" actually increased significantly. Resolution of the footnote[10]
The illusions that were harboured in Germany ultimately stood in the way of both even more successful European integration and the creation of an even more durable security and peace architecture. Minkmar therefore believes that a third republic must emerge from the ruins of the second: one that takes a less short-sighted view of the world around it and leaves behind the "naivety" of thinking about the world. To resolve the footnote[11] It is therefore necessary to work out lessons from the "Third Reich" for the third republic.
Historical misunderstandings
However, the myopic view of the past is not limited to Germany. In fact, many of the lessons learnt worldwide from 1933 for crisis management in the 2020s are based on historical misunderstandings. For example, although there are countless books about the "Third Reich" and its horrors, in many cases, and without realising it, they reproduce clichés dating back to Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, or they portray Hitler and the National Socialists only as madmen driven by hatred, racism and anti-Semitism. However, such approaches will never understand why so many supporters of National Socialism saw themselves as idealists. And they will not be able to explain why, according to Hitler, reason, not emotion, should determine the actions of National Socialism. On the resolution of the footnote[12]
A reductionist approach to the question of what characterised Hitler and other National Socialists is dangerous. It tempts us to look for false warning signs in today's world and to search for Hitler revenants and National Socialists in the wrong places. We are therefore recommended to read Thomas Mann's essay "Brother Hitler" from 1938, in which he portrays the dictator as a product of the same traditions in which he himself had grown up. In doing so, he opens our eyes to the realisation that it is not the angry crybabies, but above all people "like us" who are open to dismantling democracy in times of crisis. In fact, as soon as we take the ideas of the National Socialists seriously, it becomes disturbingly clear that many people supported these policies in the period from the 1920s to the 1940s for almost the same reasons that we so vehemently reject National Socialism today - not least the conviction that political legitimacy should come from the people and that equality is an ideal worth fighting for.
It is therefore important to dispel various misconceptions about the death of democracy in 1933 that are still taught in German schools today, including the idea that the seeds of Weimar's self-destruction were sown as early as 1919, that the "unstable Weimar constitution (.... ) ultimately led to the self-dissolution of the first German democracy", that "coalitions capable of governing [became] impossible because there were too many splinter parties", On the dissolution of the footnote[13] that the rise of Hitler resulted from the strength of the German conservatives, that the world economic crisis played the decisive role in the death of German democracy, that Germans supported the National Socialists, because they longed for the return of the authoritarian state of the past and rejected democracy in any form, or that the actions of the National Socialists did little to bring Hitler to power - which is evident, for example, in the tendency to speak only of a "transfer of power" in relation to the events of 1933 and not of a process that was both a "transfer of power" and a "seizure of power". On the resolution of the footnote[14]
The beliefs of the National Socialists and the appeal of their ideas cannot be understood if we do not take seriously the central apparent contradictions at the core of National Socialism, namely that the National Socialists destroyed democracy and socialism in the name of overcoming an all-encompassing, existential mega-crisis and creating a supposedly better and truer democracy and socialism. The National Socialists preached that all power must come from the people, not out of insincere and opportunistic Machiavellianism, but because they believed it. The promise of a National Socialist illiberal "people's community democracy" as a collectivist and marginalising concept of self-determination was widely accepted and promised to overcome what was supposedly the greatest crisis in centuries. This made 1933 possible and ultimately brought the world to the gates of hell.
So if we understand National Socialism as a manifestation of illiberal democracy, we see that today's variants of illiberal democracy could very easily slide into something much worse in times of crisis than we are currently experiencing in many places around the world. If we refrain from a reductionist account of National Socialism, we will recognise that the parallels between the present and the past lie primarily in the dangers posed by illiberal democracy and the general perception of crisis.
Furthermore, if we understand National Socialism as a political religion, we can understand why Germans followed its siren song en masse. Hitler's political religion demanded a double commitment from converts: firstly, to National Socialist orthodoxy - adherence to 'correct' beliefs and the practice of rituals - and secondly, to National Socialist orthopraxy - the 'ethical' behaviour prescribed by orthodoxy. In this way, acts of violence and war against internal and external "enemies of the people" were given a moral and even heroic significance - because they supposedly served a "higher" purpose, the good of one's own "national community". The belief systems of National Socialism are therefore inextricably linked to the violence and horrors of the "Third Reich". In other words, while it may well be true that liberal democracy brings with it a "peace dividend", illiberal democracy - at least in its totalitarian, messianic incarnations - can easily generate a "genocide and war dividend" if people believe they can overcome an existential crisis in this way.
Just as the National Socialist mindset should be taken seriously as a key driver of violent and extreme behaviour, the National Socialists themselves should also be understood as political actors with a clear plan for the future. Although it often looked as if they were merely reacting to others, it was precisely this reactive character of National Socialist behaviour that was a tactic - and a very successful one at that - that explains not only the developments in 1933, but also the dynamics of twelve years of Nazi rule. The path from the seizure of power to the settlement policy in the East, to total war and to a war policy of extermination and genocide was by no means long and tortuous - in the self-perception of its actors, it was the path to overcoming an existential polycrisis.
What does 1933 teach us?
The way in which the National Socialists succeeded in seizing and consolidating power and ultimately pursuing radical policies has more in common with the cunning of Frank Underwood, the fictional US president from the Netflix series "House of Cards", than with many of the portrayals that question whether their rise was coolly calculated. The political style and the illusion game of the National Socialists, the undermining and destruction of norms and institutions as well as the pursuit of a hidden agenda are increasingly becoming characteristics of politics in our time as well. Understanding the year 1933 should therefore help us to better understand today's challenges.
We therefore need a defensive democracy with strong guard rails in order to be able to counter the perception of an existential polycrisis. This includes strong party-political organisations that - unlike in daydreams of the transformation of parties into "movements" - prevent the internal takeover by radicals. Crucially, strong party structures also provide a toolkit to deal with polarised societies by both representing and containing divisions. The behaviour of conservative parties is particularly important here. German conservatism played a central role in the fall of Weimar democracy, but in a counter-intuitive way, not through its strength but through its weakness and the fragmentation of its organisations.
However, guard rails offer little or no protection if they are poorly positioned. Thus, a look beyond Germany reveals that in trying to make our own democracy weatherproof and crisis-resistant, we may have more to learn from cases where democracy survived in 1933 than from the death of democracy in Germany. The Netherlands, for example, had established a resilient political structure, or a defencible democracy avant la lettre, capable of dealing with a wide range of shocks to its system and responding flexibly to crises. As a result, the Dutch did not need to anticipate the specific threats of 1933, as their crisis prevention and response capacities were large enough to avoid the establishment of a domestic dictatorship. The comparison also shows that some supposed guard rails of today's democracy in Germany - such as the five per cent hurdle in elections - are largely useless and only appear to offer security.
The problem of looking at specific cases of the collapse of democracy, including the German case in 1933, harbours a danger: that the most important variables are insufficiently recognised and too narrow conclusions are drawn. The exact historical context of the collapse of a political order will always vary, as will the perception of an existential polycrisis and its political consequences. It therefore makes sense to identify states and societies from the past that were resilient to the widest possible range of shocks. Or as historian Niall Ferguson puts it: "All we can learn from history is how to build social and political structures that are at least resilient and at best antifragile (...), and how to resist the siren voices that propose totalitarian rule or world government as necessary for the protection of our unfortunate species and our vulnerable world." To resolve the footnote[15]
Nevertheless, the fall of the Weimar Republic in 1933 is a warning of where uncontained perceptions of crisis can lead. After all, it was Hitler's polycrisis consciousness and the associated individual and collective existential fear that formed the core of the emergence of Hitler's political and genocidal anti-Semitism. Added to this was the identification of the Jews with this crisis and the implementation of this identification in a programme of total solutions in order to "protect" themselves permanently. To resolve the footnote[16]
Perhaps the most important warning that the past century holds for us is that the biggest and most terrible crises in the world only arise when we try to contain real or perceived crises headlessly and without moderation. To resolve the footnote[17]

Politics is art.
Big fat controversial opinion. Politics is art.
Art: "the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power."
Art is about building and creating,
The very bones of politics, especially democratic politics, is built on these same concepts. We have an incredible ability to conceptualise societies, states, and theories entirely from our creative freedoms.
Creativity is essential for the planting of a hope of a better future in a political garden.
We must not allow ourselves the misfortune of forgetting that politics is built in creativity. We must not forget that, as we have been doing, or too quickly, will a form of art designed to help grow and nurture our societies, turn into a tool to hurt and control those same societies, as has been the case for far too long.
I was speaking to someone I know a while ago, and she said that she always had the idea that politicians and people involved in politics were these greedy and crooked people, and I suddenly remembered what it was like to think that same way when I was younger, and to an extent, she was right.
But I will tell you right now; politics is about growth, freedom, and hope for a better future. It should be built on love, care, and support, and tolerance.
Dictators and tryants seek, so frequently, to demolish these qualities that the result of their damage is what has come to be known as "politics", but this is not politics. This is the destruction of it, and to forget this means those who strive to cultivate what politics truly is, instead see the very concept as inherently hostile, rather than a force that seeks to promote growth and disarm hostility, and avoid it altogether. This is what leads to the weakening of our democracies. So we must not lose sight of the fact that, while so frequently, there is politics in our art,
It is crucial we dont forget:
there is art in our politics.

Hillary wanted trump to win but it was not her plan to lose; rather the posbility of his chaos seduced her; she let it happen because deep down this slave of excessive midwestern order wanted to, from within her constraints, create disorder, mass chaos. So it was a dance on both sides.

What country is it?

So, what do they do? Americans voted for radical change in November, and judging by the chaos he’s already generated before taking office, Donald Trump might give them more than they bargained for. Can Democrats offer a saner alternative? So far, the signs aren’t encouraging. Instead of taking a hard look at how they managed to lose to the most ethically tainted and unpopular presidential candidate in memory, many in the party seek refuge in self-exonerating excuses. #politics #democrats #government #news #culture

Hey Cevanstans,
Ignore me I'm just doing my fucking with "them" thing
Ok so new theory:
So the legal age in portugal is a lot younger than almost everywhere else
The teen porn industry is heavily centred in Europe
So what if someone was using Albas teen porn career as a way to leverage her into co-operating as well?
If the rumours about her being a "yacht girl" for billionaires is true and everything is being connected through CAA........?
Is this whole thing just because Chris forayed into politics and the Epstein ring got connected to Hollywood and Washington and are these "people" also using one of their own trafficking victims to do it?
(Not saying shes not weird and probably racist if her friends are anything to go by but yeah)
Who made that DMCA request for Albas European teen porn she posted to her instagram stories anyway?
Is that worse Megan? I think it is, its way worse
Just thoughts, but so many questions.....
🤍🪽✨

Benifits of AI “Creative” works:
It forces people to pay attention to images/stories/music longer
We can narrow down the techbros who should be shunned by society.
That’s it…
Like these are just connected but not an innate thing of AI
#Ai#eliminate it#And no#it doesn’t democratize creativity/art#It just shows you can’t make the effort#to make creative works#AI would be perfect to take people out of dangerous/mind numbing work#but no
