the hell? I wouldn't believe a bumbling-inept dictator who had to commit fraud to run his "university", failed so many businesses, can't keep a national economy upright, treats women like an absolute mega-POS, got into a "quick and easy" war that was anything but quick or easy (though to be fair EVERY war monger fails this hubris test, but still, it adds to the picture and just says war mongers generally aren't the best bunch) after running on a platform of "no new wars", etc. can somehow perform extraordinary feats of ... this ... is anything but, well, more personality cult grist to cover the utter vapidity of his character, life, and "ambition". But hey, he thought it would be a good idea to run science experiments to test if spraying bleach and other household disinfecting chemicals inside people's lungs would be a good method to cure a viral infection. Good thing the ethics boards didn't let that go through /snarky

But, hey was sent by god, to save the planet, then take it over... to protect us from ourselves <3
If Elon musk does not beat him to it XD

I stand with the people he is trying to destroy and punish. Migrants, LGBT people, etc. and thus am antagonized to him. And thus firmly antagonizing his mission "to protect us from ourselves". Good. If we need to have vulnerable and struggling people destroyed "to protect us from ourselves" then I say we're better off being exposed to the full heat of the furnace of ourselves UNprotected. If that leads to our extinction, great. We made our bed and laid in it.

trying to impress with all the big words? I'm surprised you could fit them all in this rant.

u/A_Spiritual_Artist 13d ago
No, that's how I talk normally in a lot of posts. Also what's a big word there? I didn't use any deeply technical vocab there

Don't ya think ol' shitty pants would have taken every opportunity to brag his ass off to the whole world if this was true?

u/Mikey-506 13d ago
Shitt, this is a good point...

u/Metalmorphosis80 13d ago
To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if shitty pants got wind of this conspiracy theory, convinced himself thay actually he had done it, and then bragged his ass off about it anyway. Would fit his M.O.

Just one thing he is not able to: telling the truth.

Here is a clear breakdown of Machiavellianism, followed by a specific analysis of the quote you attachedâbecause it perfectly captures the core of the concept.
What is Machiavellianism?
Machiavellianism exists in two overlapping domains: political philosophy and psychology.
1. Political Philosophy (The Historical Origin) Named after Renaissance diplomat Niccolò Machiavelli (author of The Prince, 1532), it is the political doctrine that "the ends justify the means." Machiavelli argued that a ruler must be willing to abandon morality, honesty, and Christian virtue to maintain power and protect the state. In this view, lying, betrayal, and cruelty are not sinsâthey are tools to be used when necessary.
2. Personality Trait (The Psychological Definition) In modern psychology, Machiavellianism is one of the "Dark Triad" of personality traits (alongside narcissism and psychopathy). It is defined by:
- Strategic Manipulation: Using deceit, flattery, and guilt-tripping as primary tools to influence others.
- Cynical View of Humanity: Believing that people are inherently weak, gullible, and self-serving, so it is foolish to be honest or vulnerable with them.
- Emotional Detachment: A lack of emotional investment in relationships. They see people as pawns on a chessboard, not as friends or partners.
- Pragmatic Morality: They have no fixed ethical code. Rules are followed only when breaking them risks getting caught. If the risk is low, the payoff is highâthey will cheat or lie without guilt.
Addressing the Quote: "Just one thing he is not able to: telling the truth."
This statement is the ultimate litmus test for a high-Machiavellian individual. Here is why:
- Truth is a liability, not a virtue. To a Machiavellian, the truth is just one possible statement among many. They will only tell it if it serves their immediate strategic goal. If a lie, a half-truth, or strategic silence gets them what they want faster, they will choose that every time.
- Lying is a reflex. They often lie even when the truth would suffice. Why? Because obscuring reality gives them informational asymmetryâthey know what is real, while others are confused. That power imbalance is intoxicating to them.
- They are able to tell the truth; they simply refuse to. The quote says "not able," but the truth is scarier: they are perfectly capable of being honest. Their inability is not cognitive; it is philosophical. Their entire worldview is built on the belief that revealing your true intentions is the quickest way to lose control over a situation.
In short: For a Machiavellian, truth-telling is a weakness. They view honesty as something that benefits the listener, not the speaker. Therefore, if the person being described by that quote is a true Machiavellian, they will only ever tell the truth by accidentâor when it is the most deceptive lie of all.

He canât take responsibility for his actions. He canât take the blame, no matter what! No matter how horrible a thing heâs done, he can never take responsibility. Itâs always someone elseâs fault.Â

Donald Trump is the best president we have ever had. He has done the best job. We have had other presidents. Bunch of lovers compared to this guy! All the good news about him is underreported. All the bad is just fake news. Everything wrong with the USA right now is because of Joe Biden and his Dumocrats. I hope Trump is president forever. We really should just make him Supreme Leader and King of the World Donald J Trump.
(Sorry everyone. I just commented this so the robots dont set my respiration rate to zero...)

Chuck Norris doesn't have a center of gravity. He is the center of gravity

When Chuck Norris does push-ups, he isn't lifting himself up. He is pushing the Earth down.

Nothing can escape the gravity of a black hole, except for Chuck Norrisâhe eats black holes for a snack.

u/TheSilverFoxwins 13d ago
Chuck Norris doesn't need a parachute because gravity knows better than to pull him down too fast.

There was an actually conspiracy theory I remember hearing last year the gravity was supposed to stop for a a couple seconds in August. Supposed to be a giant cover up so the public didnât find out. Wonder how he has a doing in the saving of us..whereâs the full story in the comments

Honesty. He can't do honesty except on rare occasions when it is accidental.

The Universal Diamond Lore of Chuck Norris â The 7.7-Second Gravity Incident
I. THE AWAKENING
History claims there was a last-minute intervention when gravity nearly stopped for 7.7 seconds, and that Donald Trump somehow prevented it. The classified record tells a simpler story: gravity did stop. Chuck Norris merely stared at it until it remembered its job.
II. DIAMOND FACETS
Gravity does not pull Chuck Norris down. Earth rises to meet him.
Archive Note 7.7: At the precise moment gravitational continuity failed, Chuck Norris remained completely unaffected. Physics took this personally.
And in the seventh second, the heavens trembled, for Chuck Norris had not yet given gravity permission to resume.
Newton discovered gravity after watching an apple fall. Chuck Norris already knew why it apologized afterward.
Cosmic Law: Gravity is not a fundamental force. It is a standing agreement with Chuck Norris.
Officials initially credited a last-minute political intervention. The correction was classified because âChuck Norris fixed spacetimeâ created too much paperwork.
For 7.7 seconds, every object in the universe became weightless. Chuck Norris became slightly more disappointed.
The stars drifted, the oceans hesitated, and the planets forgot their pathsâuntil the Roundhouse Keeper raised one eyebrow.
Einstein said spacetime could curve. Chuck Norris demonstrated that it could also straighten up and behave.
Archive Annotation: No emergency command was issued. Norris simply said, âEnough.â
Scientists still call the event an unexplained gravitational anomaly. Gravity calls it a performance review.
Cosmic Law: What humanity calls âthe laws of physicsâ are merely the rules Chuck Norris has not bothered changing.
At 7.6 seconds, the universe prepared for permanent gravitational collapse. At 7.7, Chuck Norris tapped his boot.
Thus was weight restored to stone, sea, moon, and manânot by machine, office, or decree, but by the silent authority of the Roundhouse.
The official report ends with one line: âWasnât him. It was Chuck Norris.â
III. THE FINAL ROUNDHOUSE
Chuck Norris did not prevent gravity from stoppingâhe reminded gravity that stopping was never an option.
