Zelensky: Person of the Year

Zelenski: Person of the Year

It's too early to tell whether Time magazine will recognize Ukraine's president Zelensky as the Person of the Year for 2022. Zelensky is so far the Person of the Half Year. Zelenski is putting a stop to Putin. Zelenski has rallied the world into defending democracy and beating autocracy. Trump supporters in America are bitter and suffering of white rage like Putin is suffering from soviet rage.

Putin Trump

As the online memes used say: Trump was not elected; he was Put-in place. Putin recognizes Trump as a dictator wannabe that can destroy America. In 2016, Putin's regime manipulated social media echo chambers to turn many Americans into Trump junkies. Hillary Clinton and the democrats would stand up against Putin. Trump and the far right would do what Putin wants. 

Putin wanted to weaken NATO. Trump tried to defund NATO and was about to pull the United States out it. Putin wanted to weaken Ukraine. Trump withheld funding from Ukraine. Trump's first impeachment was precisely for withholding assistance from Ukraine in exchange for information against Biden. 

Pain Pleasure

Life can be confusing when you are unaware of its simple pain / pleasure mechanism. All living organisms survive by seeking pleasure and avoiding pain. That is how all your ancestors survived. Therefore, the pain / pleasure "trait" survived in you. 

Everything humans do can be easily explained in the context of the pain / pleasure algorithm of life. The tricky part is that humans can associate physical pain with mental pleasure, and vice versa. In addition, what is either painful or pleasurable can vary from person to person, and from time to time in the same person. People change when their pain / pleasure mental associations change. People behave in accordance with their pain / pleasure mental connections.

White supremacists

White supremacists love Putin and Trump and hate nonwhites. Trump is a Putin wannabe. Trump would do to Mexicans what Putin is doing to Ukrainians. Some people would hate that. Other people would love it. Some people could alternate or change back and forth depending on the fluidity of their pain / pleasure mental associations. 

Whit supremacists believe that life would be more pleasurable for them if nonwhites were enslaved or exterminated. Putin believes that life would be more pleasurable for him if Ukrainians were enslaved or exterminated. White supremacists and Putin are the same thing. Not surprisingly, white supremacists opposed helping Zelensky resist Putin's invasion. 

Treason

Folks opposing assisting Zelensky are helping Putin. That is dangerously close to treason because everyone knows that Putin hates America and would destroy us if he had the chance. Putin would rule the whole world if he could, or share it with the other communist superpower, China. 

Rationally, every American knows that it is better to help Zelensky, our Person of the Year, than to help Putin, the war criminal of the century.  However, some conservatives have emotional conflicts about it because Zelensky is a democratically elected liberal whereas Putin is an anti-liberal or illiberal dictator. As the events at our Capitol on January 6, 2021, some far right Trump supporters are so anti-liberal that they would rather end our democracy and make Trump their dictator than to share democratic power with liberals.

Excuses

The excuses articulated by Trump supporters to be against helping Zelensky's fight against Putin include that our country should not spend money on foreign countries and that democrats will steal the funds. Chances are that the true reason behind not wanting to help Ukraine is racism. Trump supporters would rather end American democracy and surrender the Nation to a white supremacist dictator than to see nonwhites prosper. 

White supremacists live in a zero sum bubble. They think that if nonwhites prosper, they would inevitably suffer. That will not be the case because economic growth and progress helps everyone. More to follow on this on future posts. For now, let us celebrate the life and accomplishments of our Person of the Year candidate, Zelensky.

Great Replacement

Great Replacement vs Great Awakening The Great Replacement is the observation that a segment of the American political left wants to control the Nation politically by replacing American born white voters with nonwhite immigrants. The Great Awakening is the counter observation that a segment of the American political right wants to control the Nation by instigating white rage and white supremacy. Both observations hold true in the eyes of their respective beholders. This is still the classic North vs South conflict in America. There is a lot of money to be made keeping our Nation together and avoiding a second civil war.   TakeSlap serves spicy food for thought. We toss words together to slap you into innovative thinking.

MAGA People of Color

MAGA is a movement of people of color. Beige color, that is. Human skin comes in three color shades: beige, brown, and black. Any color is okay. What is not okay is thinking that one color is better than another. What makes MAGA people suffer is that liberals are ending the color coded society that MAGA folks had learned was "great".  Slap is food for thought. Take more at TakeSlap.com People of Color  People of color are the base of the MAGA movement. Their color is beige. Human skin comes in three main colors or shades: beige, brown, and black. Melanin, a natural "ink" or pigment made by the body is responsible for skin color.  Your melanin color varies depending on whether your ancestors stayed in tropical weather, or migrated to nordic weather. Northern latitudes have less ultraviolet (UV) radiation plus are cold requiring people to cover their skin. The combination of less UV radiation plus covered skin, made melanin beige.  You can see melanin as natural form ...

A 76 year old beige man

Neither Hunter Biden nor Steve Bannon can save Trump this time. Hunter is reportedly an atheist. Bannon is supposedly a christian who keeps a fake portrait of a bleached skin Jesus in his office. The J6 Hearings are destroying Trump and he seems doomed. Luckily for Trump he is a man of color (color beige) and will most likely avoid criminal prosecution. Luckily for all of us, Trump's political career is almost over. Slap is food for thought. Take more at TakeSlap.com Trump's Epic Collapse Millions of Americans have been waiting for Trump's collapse. Trump is a 76 year old old man with a poor diet, and a super stressful lifestyle. That is a lethal combination for any heart. Men of beige color with similar lifestyle factors are prone to deadly heart attacks. With every heartbeat, the blonde dyed hair and fake orange makeup gets closer to his final day on Earth.  No one is eternal; not even the MAGA king. That is the most fundamental flaw of kings and dictators. Even assuming ...
