LinkedIn tips:
1. You don't have to read the posts.
2. If you don't like a post from someone you follow, then stop following them. You can keep a connection without following them!
3. If you don't like a post from someone you don't follow, then mark it as not interested. Send the signal to inform both the recommendation algorithm, and the people who design the recommendation algorithm, what content you don't want to see.

Rambo¹ ist die Geschichte eines aus dem verlorenen Vietnamkrieg zurückkehrenden Veteranen, den zu Hause niemand mehr haben will und von der Polizei² eingesperrt und gedemütigt wird – was letztlich dazu führt, daß er die ganzen „wir wollen hier keine Fremden“-Typen aufmischt.³
Werden heute in den USA Veteranen einfach so verhaftet, geht das anders aus – ist ja schließlich kein Action-Film.

It seems like, again, just following the plain logic of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence (which, again, I do not subscribe to), that every law passed under Trump, every supreme court justice appointment by Trump, every supreme court ruling by Trump appointed justices, all the illegal firing, etc, must all, necessarily, be null and void.
And if not following from the insurrection act, or from the oath of office, then following from the Declaration of Independence itself. The logic here being that a constitution is a contract between the people and their government, which the later upholds in order to maintain its legal status. The violation of said laws by the government violates "consent of the governed" (which, again, I have issues with the concept entirely but we're just going to ignore that) and therefore nullifies the authority of that government, granting " the right of the people to alter or to abolish it."
That seems a lot like the hard reset some folks have been looking for. Given that existing flaws allowed this state to be reached, it would also be necessary for the true authority to correct those mistakes before assuming authority that derives from these principles.
Now, personally, I don't subscribe to any of this logic but it's interesting to explore, as an outsider, where the logic goes.

Wenn man im Restaurant zu lange aufs Essen wartet, ist das ärgerlich.
Nun saß ich aber gerade 2 min nach Abgabe der Bestellung da, wollte erstmal ankommen.
Fehlanzeige.
Denn schon stand der Spargel auf dem Tisch - noch bevor das Getränk gebracht wurde.
Solche Kleinigkeiten sind nicht unwichtig, denn Spargelessen war eine jährliche Tradition von mir und Essengehen generell ein Ritual. Nun fühle ich mich tendenziell abgefertigt und weiß nicht, ob ich im nächsten Jahr…

Wenn du einen Menschen ablehnst, weil du auf gezielte Desinformation reingefallen bist und so eine Fehleinschätzung produziert hast, dann wirst du neue Gründe finden, die deine Ablehnung begründen, damit du dir deinen Irrtum nicht eingestehen mußt.
