#kayfabe

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

The Kayfabe project is finally on Mastodon, so this is a perfect time to do a little #introduction. Kayfabe is a performant, easy-to-use social media app written in modern, safe languages and with privacy in mind!

Oh, one other thing: Kayfabe does not exist. This account satirizes popular app development communities. But despite not existing, you can make Kayfabe real (and thus make it a real kayfabe!) by pretending it is real and then participating!

🥥 To understand how the Trump regime works, Peter, you must understand "kayfabe":
A slang noun usually applied to professional wrestling, but now the essential Trump tactic.
It's the portrayal of events as real; for example, the acceptance of professional wrestling and its accompanying storylines as not staged or simulated -- whereas staged and simulated are exactly what they are. Trumpism is pro wrestling writ large. 🥥

One word #kayfabe : Acknowledging the staged, scripted nature of (US) professional #wrestling

This is what unlocks the Trump presidencies: His relationship with the audience that acknowledges kayfabe, and are now enjoying the show in #uspolitics

This #audience is not moved by ”Trump is a threat” or ”Trump is evil”, that just means the kayfabe is working

The script can be flipped, realities rolled-in at any time to become a part of it. The most #postmodern show

SpotifyBrief: Trump the Babyface, Trump the Heel (w/Abraham Josie Reisman)Conspirituality · Episode

I’m not sure I can take the optimism - given a media landscape bought & paid for by oligarchs seeking apex capitalist returns on outrage culture applied to governance already pimped out by a party in service to Putin with authoritarian Nazi lovers doing the job of turning Americans against each other.

The #Idiocracy is strong with a #kayfabe forgiving populace tweaking the electoral college for a democracy killing aspiring dictator criminal candidate.

mastodon.cloudJR Horsting (@JRHorsting@mastodon.cloud)Lying about reality isn't working. I know it makes you feel better. But the delusion is going to end. Trump is unfit. Vance is an idiot. The economy is booming. Capitalism is rocking. Being anti-American Nazis isn't a good call. When you lose this time it's going to stick.
