# This Weeks Discussion Theme: [Consoom Trumpler] (https://arete.network/polls/39f7e396-11a0-4c41-9cf4-deaf34f80341/)
In this weekly we consoooooooooom Trumpler! Unless you been living in a log cabin off grid for the last two weeks you likely know Trump has been arrested. So, what did he do? They must have finally gotten him for his trips to Epstein Island? Oops, wrong guy. Wait oh it must have been for his son’s shady business deals with Ukraine and China. Dang, wrong guy again. Oh, wait, it has something to do with that corn star Hurricane Denise? Wasn’t all this nonsense settled like years ago? Who knows... Just need to crack open a few more Dylan Mulvaney Bud Lights and turn on CNN. Is there any sports ball on?
 
 
 
 
 
Discussion ideas:
 
 
 
* What is your opinion on Trumps arrest?
* Is it really campaign finance fraud or just weaponized lawfare?
* Do you think Trumps arrest have harmed his prospects for 2024 or helped?

# Previous Weeklies:
* [Master List](https://communities.win/c/ConsumeProduct/wiki/ConPro-Weekly/)

Content mirroring between [scored.co/c/ConsumeProduct](https://scored.co/c/ConsumeProduct) and [arete.network/b/ConsumeProduct](https://arete.network/b/ConsumeProduct) is now ready for an experimental test run. There are bound to be some issues starting out and changes may be reverted if anything goes catastrophically wrong.
   
I have tried my best to minimize the number of requests to the Scored API as much as possible, which means that feed updates won't happen in real time, but they should still be frequent enough to display fresh content (currently a 15 minute interval). Old posts will be updated when accessed directly or when listed on feeds.
   
I've made sure to respect content deletion and not retain deleted content, so as long as everything works as intended, content deleted by users on scored.co should become unavailable as soon as someone attempts to view it, if not prior to that through feed updates detecting discrepancies.
   
Any posts or comments you make on Arete Network's Consume Product board will be automatically crossposted to Scored by a bot account.
   
Mirrored content is by default hidden from Arete's front page, but you may choose to enable it in [your settings](https://arete.network/settings/), or turn it off entirely if you so desire.

Let me tell you why I don't care about "news" unless it manages to surface up into the internet:

- 1. The original sources are filtered and kiked. What is known as "mainstream media" is the "jewish media", thus subject to a detestable filter. They decide what to show and what not to show - and it's not just about money, but about serving their jewish interests.
- 2. A lot of it is outright not interesting.
- 3. What matters are the conclusions, the patterns, the truth. So why should I watch thousands of niggers killing Whites only to figure out that niggers kill Whites a lot? There are also statistics which not only make news redundant, but raise the question as to why you don't perceive the high rates of crimes niggers commit including school shootings. When I see another jewish hoax or scheme or pedophiles exposed, it fits the pattern.
- 4. It is infuriating and is corrosive to my mental well-being. I already am on board with TND and TKD, and considerations around that and what might lead to that. I don't need to be convinced further.
- 5. I do not care about the opinions of idiots, propagandists and ideologues. If there is someone who wants to accrue knowledge or needs a little tip into the right direction, that's fine, I am actually glad to help.
- 6. The "news" channels often use sophistry. They try to direct the reader's opinions instead of providing a neutral basis to create opinions about by providing the facts as well as they can. But see, I am not an overly empathetic woman, nor am I an idiot who can be manipulated so easily. In fact manipulation attempts infuriate me.
- 7. Almost all world events are beyond my reach, having no effects on me. In the same turn I have no effects on it. I have my personal things going on. Yeah so what, another bad thing happens and I can't do anything about it - why should I torture myself with knowing about it with the inability to do anything about it, even if I wanted? Knowing about it wouldn't "educate" me, it would drive me insane. It's like some form of do-nothing cuckoldry. I already see too many instances of injustice and idiocy occurring, and I should watch MORE of it?!

It's sure been half my life I haven't watched news. Even when I was ~20, I hated it because I considered it manipulative in some ways, even if I wasn't sure how. While I was contemplating fascism, and wondered why it was so hated, I was essentially apolitical. Quite peculiar for a German environment. I never trusted news sources, and in hindsight I was right.

Yet, even though I do not watch news, I know a lot about the world, people and the patterns that guide them. Sometimes I wish I'd know more concrete facts and have a better memory, but alas I think it's better to be able to draw conclusions and focus on those. To focus on details obstructs the view on the big picture, and having people make their own conclusions isn't particularly great. That's why I made some posts recently that do summarize past events and provide an explanation. It is meant to increase existing knowledge and understanding in the world.
