The Cult of Fools

Most humans, regardless of their beliefs or lack of any, are generally decent and honourable. Some abandon all that, toss empathy, integrity, and honesty under the bus and so they end up joining the Cult of Fools. It is almost impossible to distinguish satire from actual claims.

Cult of Fools Weekly (Mar 2, 2025) — “Trump policy: Putin First”

--

Volodymyr Zelenskyy is the George Washington of Ukraine and one of the most heroic men alive. He sat through a shouted (televised) lecture by two of the _worst_ men alive. A real-life horror film.

They tried to bully him into bending the knee, but this is not a guy who runs from any tyrant, and will instead stand his ground and resist.

Pathetic. Shameful. Cowardly. Disgusting. Trump and JD Vance showed the world they will enthusiastically reward the aggression of dictators and don’t think freedom is worth fighting for.

The truly mind-blowing bit is that Trump and Vance wanted Zelensky to thank them for an aid package that Vance voted against and Trump opposed. Meanwhile Zelensky really has thanked the American people many many times.

The key trigger point for the ambush came with the question to Vance that pointed out that time after time Putin has broken every agreement, why is the latest proposal any different? It revealed that Vance is literally full of shit and utterly clueless. All he had was a vacuous talking point that had no substance. Since he had no answer to that he pivoted to a demand for gratitude and by doing so completely derailed the entire process.
