Chris Chan #fundie #magick #god-complex #crackpot #moonbat

Huh. "Chris Chan getting a god complex about their doofy fanfic" was not on my "FSTDT bingo card for the sorta post I'd see opening the page.

And it is funny how I usually read the posts first, before going to the name, usually to see if I recognize something or to have a "oh, it's them, that makes sense" when I scroll back up. So my thought process was "Blah blah, book of merging.. central processing unit goddess? That's dumb... Sonichu? Wait, is this fucking Chris Chan?"

Because honestly, if you changed JUST the names, it's really no different than the usual new agey drivel we usually see. Instead of Sonichu it's Thoth or Pledians or Ascended Masters or some nonsense.

It is always amazing to see people speak so confidently about things that are obviously wrong.

1. So when the heart goes through the various contractions that appear to be pumping blood, what is it doing?

2. The heart is very obviously not spiral shaped. We can open up people and look at their hearts.

3. Of course ancient people thought the heart was important. If you got stabbed there you'd die. You can feel it beating and powering the body as it pumps blood.

4. The heart can't be the center of the nervous system. If it was there wouldn't be "some" instances of people gaining a few habits of the heart donor, but since they'd pretty much lose their original self and get a new one. If you claim all the neurons and synapses are super involved with forming the mind, removing all of that would have a massive change.

Caspian "Casper" Sarginson #crackpot #fundie #conspiracy #mammon

So science, math, physics, astronomy, theology(??!!) and cosmology (and all the others) are anti-God. How does one argue in favor of something like Flat Earth without using any of those?

KeithClossOfficial #kinkshaming #dunning-kruger

No, the idea of polyamory is having a relationship with multiple people.

While you might think the "cause" might be attention seeking nonsense that's not the "idea" of it.

Come on, Keith. Words have meaning. And just because you disagree with things doesn't negate it on principle.

Alexandra Bruce #conspiracy #wingnut

Well, a brief look at the guy, he apparently had been involved in humanitarian works for decades and from the looks of it, his efforts did likely help a lot of people.

That said, people who want to prey on children often find work where they can be close to them, and helping some to prey on others is just all sorts of terrible.

As for the other nonsense, no. As stated above, there is no "Frazzledrip" video. The only evidence for it has been clearly false.

And that's not even the dumbest part. You claim Dalgish somehow got his hands on a video with an American politician and her aide doing terrible things. He then decides that using it as blackmail is the best idea. He makes use of this blackmail by first, leaving the country so the American politician can't help him, and leaking it, negating its effectiveness as blackmail. Because that makes sense.

Warren Davidson & Barry Moore #crackpot #wingnut

Oh, I can help. Can even answer the three points right away.

1. TDS (a common misnomer, like how the Big Bang was an expansion and not explosion or how jellyfish are not fish and contain no jelly) was an insult coined by the far right who conflated distaste for Trump as being crazy. The cause is most likely a mix of trying to play off the claims that people didn't like Obama because they were racist (which is certainly true for some sections of the Republican base) and mix of cognitive dissonance and projection for trying to support someone like Trump (ex. the "for the common people" and "religious right" party getting fully behind a grifting, adulterous conman who routinely flaunts both his corruption and disdain for the common man. A petty narcissist and repeated adulterer who is so removed from Christianity he can't name one Bible verse he likes)

2. Removing the source from office/being a public figure and holding his supporters accountable for their actions is the only real solution.

3. The main news networks being run by those who value profit over truth and teying to push an agenda is the cause. You have people who have networks rhat blur the lines between opinions and facts, who admit in court people like Carlson are in no way reliable or trustworthy, and then try to hide the fact. Peole like Trump come along and stoke the flames those news networks have been keeping hot, cultivating the fear mongering, being an acceptable outlet for their worst traits and behaviors, etc. It's been in the works since the Southern Strategy killed what was the Republican Party.

Bennett Lee Ross #crackpot #pratt #ufo #magick #conspiracy

I've always found it kinda baffling that Flat Earth idiots for some reason decided to throw out so much science when it's not really needed.

There is no reason that observable gravity wouldn't be feasible on a flat Earth. Like sure they believe astronomy is a scam, but that's just problems past the atmosphere, you can make up reasons there are issues.

Instead they insist on making up nonsense like some sort of electromagnetic component (which would be more observable and affect things differently based on composition, which gravity does not) or claiming it's "density" (which is reliant on gravity for the downward pull and wouldn't function in a vacuum chamber, among other issues) for some reason.

ALifeWastedOnRot #wingnut

Well, his name seems accurate. The self absorbed thought process that leads him to bitching about the most minimal ask to help keep people safe while driving is the sort rot this idiot has wasted their life on.

Laura Wood #conspiracy #wingnut

The thing is that most lay Catholics (or any laity of a religion when the leader is being accused by some randos) would need that heresy trial to see why one of the many ecumenical councils suddenly made most all the adherents of the faith heretics.

Cause just saying it doesn't help. Why would something that didn't change any doctrine make the clergy suddenly invalid to hold rank? It's always sounded so asinine. They sound like "Oh, having the mass in the native language, priests facing the people they are supposed to care for, and trying to be accepting and loving like Jesus said are just... fucking terrible. I hate it."

Astaro #fundie

Now, I can sympathize with getting a bit tired of seeing "Oh, this evil guy/gal? What if s/he wasn't?" or "What if we looked at thing from when this evil person wasn't evil?" sort of storylines. There are a LOT of those. Some sillier than others.

Being such a common trope, I'd even be hesitant to call it "subversive" at this point, especially for the Devil. The Devil in particular has been a character for centuries and written every which way, from a wronged fellow who just can't abide God's tyranny, to the usual evil type, to a goofball who makes random bets to hillbillies over fiddle playing. You name it, he's done it.

"You are not reading these pieces.

No, I'm reading, you twit. And unless that last sentence in crazy speak also means reading, then no. I'm certainly not doing that.

It is also a bit funny how often he keeps repeating that this, that, and the other thing are recursive. Not sure if it is purely just kinda ironic or if he just doesn't have many woo words in his head so has to reuse them.

Red Pill Poet #wingnut #conspiracy

Yeah, I'm with @Citizen_Justin

I think this idiot was too focused on trying to sound smart that he forgot to actually make a point.

Going through, if we ignore the superfluous descriptive language, we get "Wrapped in fantasies of immortality; taking pleasure in its vision of becoming one with a bio-digital "prison*" and having a good reality; the "Psychopathocracy**" gathered lots of evil to trick most everyone and make a shield to avoid detection of this trick."

* not sure what he's getting at with prison, so left it
** is a not super common term of how it appears that the government appears to be full of psychopaths and running things caters to their lack of morals and lack of regard for the law.

But, this is just rambling nonsense.

Bennett Lee Ross #crackpot #ufo #magick #quack #conspiracy

So Bennett is convinced a "timeline split" WILL happen. And he seems super convinced that it's like the multiiversal timeline sorta thing you see in movies and shows, where x event causes the timelines to exist at the same time, that sorta thing.

That being said, why does he portray the bad stuff as actually being bad? Like sure, it'll suck for that timeline, but there you also get the good ending. And it's not like anything can stop this split, apparently. So what does it matter if the nefarious evil shadow government who rules the world does weird sci-fi experiments to try to... take over the world? Like @Bastehotep said, they're already in control. Why do all this nonsense to "take" control? And even then it's just the bad end timeline where it's an issue? How lame is that?

As for the protein thing, yeah, it's completely unhinged, but what about people with an plant proteins? Will they just go comatose and try to photosynthesize?

Conservapedia #transphobia #crackpot #dunning-kruger

And does Super Mario get points off for falsely giving hope to Italians that they can also double jump, or that a career in plumbing will let them travel through tunnels and save princesses?

Though, joking aside, I do like the phrasing of "that they do not naturally possess." Is there something you can buy to give you an unnatural double jump? Does Conservapedia think people will sell their souls, not for fame, wealth, or pleasurable company, but for the ability to double jump? Inquiring minds want to know.

Donald Trump #wingnut #racist

I'd say if someone makes an oath that says "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States" and then says he doesn't fucking know if he is going to and will have his lawyers "look into it" then he should be removed from office for failing the bare minimum of the job requirement.

Indiana Lieutenant Governor Micah Beckwith #dunning-kruger

I suppose if he lives in Bizarro world he "could" be right.

But no, the 3/5ths compromise meant that Southern slave owners (the sort of fuckwits who thought owning people as property was just fine) were unequally represented in the House of Representatives. By being a slave with no say on government, that let those enslaving others use your body for an extra vote.

So no. It is not a celebration of equality. The state of the Republican Party, bunch of dumbass clowns. That somehow have power to ruin the country.

State of the Nation Editor #racist #wingnut #crackpot #conspiracy

You'd think if a country has a secret magic/sci-fi weather controlling death machine things would be easier for them militarily, especially since they've shown no regard for human life, one of the usual mitigating factors of such a weapon.

Like, a news story of "Gaza was flattened by intense weather, as unprecedented storms, flooding, and tornadoes leveled the area. Isreal helps relocate the displaced citizens and purchases the area for reconstruction" is SO much better than "Isreal has become more and more reviled, partially for military action against Hamas, but mostly for the growing list of war crimes they are committing on the regular km Gaza." Still a bit scummy but buying out wrecked property would go over so much easier than what's going on.

Now, maybe Gaza is close to home, but that shouldn't be an issue. Worried about Iranian nukes? Category 5 hurricane rolling through Tehran. No need for missles if Syria gets an unprecedented 8 feet of flooding.

Seriously, you're building them up as super villains, they could spam that shit and blame global warming if they really had that tech.

Laura Wood quoting Betrayed Catholics #fundie #conspiracy

1. Vatican 2 didn't change any Catholic doctrines. Why would it suddenly become corrupted and "Anti-Christ" if nothing belief-wise changed?

2. Why would Pope Pius XII be the "last" Pope? John XXIII was elected after him and initiated the Second Vatican Council, Even if John 23 did things you don't like him, he was still a true Pope?

3. Why would this council mess up apostlic succession and not others that had bigger influences on the doctrines of the Catholic Church?

4. And, sure, you could say what is going on with the Catholic Church fits Apocalyptic Prophecy... if you ignore it.

Brent D. Cates #wingnut #conspiracy

Vox Day #fundie

It is always funny seeing a particularly lonesome sort of heretic decry every other main type of church they would otherwise belong to as corrupt.

In Vox's case, imagine the whole "Love one another" and "Lying is bad" aspects are two big things he hates about most Christian denominations.

Laura Wood #fundie #wingnut

Ecumenism is not a fancy word for polytheism. Since Laura is an idiot, ecumenism is trying to foster unity and heal divisions "within Christianity." Interfaith cooperation is different.

If she can't get something that simple correct, why would any of her other points be looked at with any seriousness?

Not that her other points deserve seriousness even as she presents them. Trying to get along with/cooperate with/find common ground with other religions doesn't equate to saying the deity (or lack thereof with various flavors of the example of Buddhism) is "good" by any stretch. But generally the interfaith cooperation sort of sentiment mostly boils down to "Hey, you know what sucks for people? Religious persecution and violence. How about we work so people don't hate each other and harm each other as much?"

Of course with the three biggest monotheistic religions being iterations of the "same" God, her argument gets even sillier.

Red Pill Poet #quack #wingnut #conspiracy

Well, seeing with how wide spread the vaccines are/were, and how many people died before vs after they were rolled out... think you're fine being ignored.

And, man, this is one reason I've always been kinda cold on free verse poetry. Reading it, especially when it's terrible, reads more like the writer is having a stroke vs anything meaningful.

Laura Milander #conspiracy #crackpot #dunning-kruger #fundie

If the opposition to Trump was "actually" a bunch of Satan worshipping mustache twirling villains, wouldn't they just be pretending to hate Trump so the petty, adulterous, malicious conman can continue to erode what's left of the "Good ol' God Fearing Americans?"

The man can't tell you a verse of the Bible he likes, why do you think he's doing any other than draping himself in hollow patriotism and callously trying to foment religious zeal behind him?

(For context without having to check Twitter, it is in regards to rumors of Trump defunding an LGBTQ+ suicide prevention hotline that has had well over a million calls/texts since it was created in 2022)

And yes, it's "Obviously" the schools and teachers trying to help these students that are causing them to be suicidal. Not family, not bigoted schools/teachers, not classmates bullying them, not people in government trying to repeal protections and rights, not random religious fuckwits who say stuff like they're going to hell for being whatever. "Clearly" the schools and teachers who advocate for the poor students using the hotline are to blame.

@Conscience I'm fairly sure several Fetish Inquisitions already exist, though I imagine it's more along the vibes of nunsploitation or generally sexual/kinky religious stuff vs things like people kink shaming others, heh.

Isaac Weishaupt #fundie #magick #conspiracy

What I find interesting is how influential the absolutely terrible slop Hislop was selling.

The man elevated a woman to deity status (Semiramis being the more folklorey/legendary counterpart of the historical Shammuramat) because her husband Ninus had a name "like" Nimrod (a purely Biblical person who doesn't have any good historical or mythological analogs). He invents a connection to a different deity Tammuz (this OP seems to conflate him with Gilgamesh, which... isn't a thing?). And of course, the big claim is that "True Christians" actually worship Jesus and God
but those evil Papists are part of an ancient global conspiracy/cult run by the Masons/the Catholic Church. Every big religion aside from the "True Christians" worship some variation of the mother goddess who's name has been changed over and over (and I think the funniest examples given are Artemis/Diana and Athena/Minerva).

Granted, when he was writing (1853 and 1858 (pamphlet snd book versions respectively) there was less research and things were harder to verify for the average person. But that people today still seem to think it as even more than a poorly researched conspiracy filled screed is just kinda sad.

Bennett Lee Ross #crackpot #ufo #magick #quack #conspiracy

The worst thing about this sort of bullshit is that because they don't really use actual definitions, it's impossible to even get at what they are talking about. Like "aqualine sun"

The Latin word aquiline (not aquALine) "means" eagle. Is he saying there is some sorta eagle sun? Does the sun have a hooked shape, or hooked nose (a current definition)?

The only thing that comes up for aqualine are company names are products, which don't make sense for an adjective. If he means "watery" the word would be aquaTIC not aquaLINE. And in context there is nothing that could help anyone parse the meaning.

These woo idiots use words like they are translating English from something else poorly and whatever translation program they are using is broken on top of that.

Emerald Robinson and Mary Frost #quack #wingnut

Most of what I remember was assholes throwing temper tantrums about masks and having to stay home during a pandemic. Assaulting and killing people for asking them to wear a mask. The callous disregard for others when asked to be civil and try to help others.

And, just because I can be a "bit" pedantic, only one of the examples Mary Frost said could be a threat, and even then "do this or no visiting grandkids" seems more an ultimatum than a "threat." The first is purely an observation, the second a health warning/observation.

bublgumbitch #wingnut #dunning-kruger

I'd more argue that it's childish to argue if Hitler was evil or not because the answer is such an overwhelming yes, you have to have a warped moral compass to disagree.

Like sure, short term he helped to bring Germany from the weakened post WWI state it was in to a thriving economic powerhouse, but what he was doing wasn't sustainable even without his visions of ethnic cleansing and conquest.

But anyone who would stoke the flames of hatred like he did, engage in such reckless violence as he did, and engineer genocide like he did IS evil. People often compare Stalin's death toll to Hitler's, talking about how one is considered evil while the other person was responsible for more death. Aside from being portrayed in a slightly better initial light because he was a member of the allies, Stalin didn't really "try" to kill as many people. Sure, people died in famines and labor camps, but Stalin didn't have the methodical way of slaughtering people that the Nazis did.

If for whatever reason the famines, droughts, and bad conditions didn't kill the (higher estimates of) 20 so million people, Stalin and the CPSU wasn't going to make sure they died. Hitler and the Nazis happily eradicated 12 million+ people and would have done more if the war didn't stop them. That's the difference.

Saying he had "some bad ideas' is such a gross understatement it honestly becomes a straight falsehood. His goal of "Helping Germany" was based on eradicating various ethnic and other groups. It is built on evil.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 #conspiracy #wingnut

So on the growing list of things she doesn't know how to do, we can add "writing a coherent list" to Greene's, which is honestly a little funny.

We have the things that, as a loon, she might be behind like raw milk and hemp mixed in with stuff she obviously doesn't like, the COVID vaccines and fentanyl.

And then there the ones where I can't hope to guess what she might even be trying to claim. She mentions the vapes, but nicotine products already have health risk warnings and she's in the party that has been against government oversight and regulations. And the FDA has only been able to do anything with nicotine/tobacco products since 2009. Fentanyl is... illegal for casual use and only good for prescription use? Not sure what she even wants the FDA to do? And finally the milk formula, it's recommended that infants don't have any before 6 months. It isn't always the case and too much too young can be detrimental, but that's hardly the FDA's fault?

"Is it possible that, at some point in the past, large audiences were entertained by watching bloody armed fights to the death"

Huh. I'm honestly a little mixed up by this one, they usually have the "is it possible that this happened?" Sort of questions are for their completely crazy bullshit ideas. They switched it up on us, normally they'd lead with the nonsense about the very well documented goings on of the Colosseum being used as a power plant.

But, aside from the well documented use as an arena, who has ever said the arches and columns were "purely" decorative? They are designed to support the building, Rome was famous for their great use if building materials and arches. And yes. People do love watching fights. Movies, tv shows, games all revel in violence. Actual martial arts like boxing, MMA, Muay Thai, Knight Fights, scripted fights like Pro Wrestling, to stuff like mentioned above, things like Battle Bots or Robot Wars. People LOVE watching fights and fighting.

The bigger questions that rule against it being a giant power plant would be the obvious ine above, why did all contemporary writings describe it as an arena? Why would you have a power plant that could sit 50-80 thousand people? Why would you have a retractable awning for bad weather? Why would you build it to hold water? Where all the arenas all over the Empire just smaller power plants, even with the variations of construction? Where did the power go? To the fire lit rooms? The slave powered field equipment?

JD Cowan #fundie

The simplest answer to that is variety. Demonic aesthetics often look neat/are fun to draw so having a character with them is nice as a creator and help boost engagement.

As an expanded part of variety, it does depend on the characters' origin and creator's thoughts.

Character wise, it should go without saying, but Hell sucks. That's kind of the most defining feature. And the demonic denizens of Hell are either previously angels or humans. Angels or humans who are being punished for some reason and have a long, long time to think about it and regret their actions. Why wouldn't a human, for instance, who really regrets whatever they did nit try to help others or do better if they had the chance?

Creator wise, being X and having a redemption arc is good character building. A person who is/was in "insert violent profession" but now wants to help others and not harm them? A recovering addict of whatever cleaning up and avoiding the thing they were addicted to? Good chances as a writer for character motivation, world building, and development. Being "intrinsically" evil is just another backstory to work with. And of course, the creator might not be a Bible thumping idiot, and if they even believe in Hell would have it be more an extended sort of Purgatory. Since God is you know, often described as all loving, and a pit of fire and torture for all eternity doesn't jive with the author's interpretation of that. But that's the lovely thing with fiction. Just like zombies, vampires, werewolves, and other fantasy races, the demons can be whatever the author wants.

I think the only good advice on the whole stupid picture is to "Not believe what..." the OP posts. Granted telling people not to research it and just to use "common sense" is telling. Might be because none of the research agrees with them.

But, sure. I won't believe what you post, I'll use a bit of common sense.

Pretending the Constitution (and Bill of Eights, they are ammendments to the Constitution not a completely different thing. And Declaration of Independence isn't a governing document) didn't set up a form of representative democracy (which you seem to hate) shows you have no idea what you are talking about.

Or you can just say his name is I Am or Jealous. Per the story, He says "I am who I am" and then "Tell them I Am sent you" when He spoke to Moses and that was turned to the YHVH, and extrapolated out to Yahweh or Jehovah, depending on what you like. Like, if the name doesn't translate to "I Am" then why use it?

Later when speaking at length, depending on translation, God also says (in third person) "Don't worship other gods, but the Lord, whose name is Jealous (or called Jealous) and is a jealous god."

Which honestly is more a realistic naming, the I Am name sounds goofy.

But, seriously though? How could the devil be worshipped "in place" of God? You're stating that your all powerful, all knowing god is somehow deprived of a worshipper who devotes their life to him, praises him, prays to him, and does his best to life life according God's commandments... because of a translation futz up? Because the (let's pretend) 20% of the time the person refers to God as Yahweh and not God, God the Father, God Almighty, Jesus, or any other name? That'd be enough to send the person to hell? Heck, his name would have to be Petty in that case, being a super petty pisaant of a deity.

And, for the flat Earth nonsense, if the god you worship is reliant on actively going against observable reality, seems like you have the false god.

I mean, sure Rob Zombie (I only really know more "about" him vs know him well, he's really not my scene so the Mr. Cummings threw me until he mentioned Dragula) can be described as using a lot of "negative babble," especially in his films. He's not exactly a wordsmith when it comes to character dialogue, from what I've seen. But he loves old exploitation flicks, old horror movies, and that whole vibe in general, and from everything I've seen, is a generally stand up guy. Just not my thing film and mostly music wise.

Another thing I'll give him, is while he does seem to only really like showing off (often murderous) trailer trash hillbilly redneck types, he's never appeared to have any signs of being a racist fuckwit. So Rob Zombie, Robert Cummiings, congrats on that. If crazy conspiratorial racist assholes don't think that you support their vision, you are doing something right.

Michael Knowles #homophobia #transphobia #wingnut

I "love" how the entire article doesn't mention any details. It's just amazing when you listen to someone talking about news and have to find the news yourself... I looked up the general information, and from that, if it is indeed what he's talking about, is a bunch (not "a kid" as mentioned) kids were kicked out for homophobia/transphobia. Now, it also doesn't go into detail because of the very young ages of all involved.

So unless we know, it could be a school overreacting, as schools can do for ANY issue, or completely warranted as they publicly stated homophobia/transphobia, but it was "also" a whole lot of bullying and abuse of students, the reason given out being the reason for said bullying and abuse.

So yeah. Because of the age of the students, we're likely not getting names/details. And, more cynically, especially not with how I've seen schools cover things up to aave face.

Vox Day #wingnut #racist

Monarchy/Dictatorship: Often fail because of weak, corrupt leadership. What should be simple succession has historically turned into civil war when various factions of either the royal family or other nobles try to enrich themselves.

Oligarchy: Often fails because the allure of power and wealth. When the reason you are in charge is because you are rich and powerful, the nation and common citizen's welfare is less important than the Oligarch's coffers.

And in both, nepotism and cronyism often weaken the economy.

But because Vox loves lying, revels in deplorable behavior, and is gay for dictators, he doesn't really look over actual causes of issues and just parrots his already held beliefs like it means something.

Of course there was one during his second presidency, he had several during his first. Every president, with the possible exception of William Harrison had at least one. And that's what you're leading with?

Well, after skimming the rest and seeing how some woo energy will get you cold fusion(?!) so your soul can dimension jump from physical reality... yeah. That likely was their best argument, making people think blood moons were special.

Suppose it's only expected here for someone who talks about the Bible to not have actually read the Bible, and who are super involved in religion to not know the doctrines they are talking about.

1. The Immaculate Conception doesn't go against anything in the Bible. It's mostly just a "Well, God doesn't like sin, has perfect knowledge, so sparing Mary from original sin at least makes the mother of the to be Jesus born in a sinless woman. There isn't anything in the Bible about it either way, honestly. Just something people figured would happen.

2. The Immaculate Conception doesn't comment on any other brothers after Jesus. That is another topic. Catholics (at least, might be some others) usually hold that after birthing God, Joseph and Mary didn't have other children, but Joseph likely was fairly older and had children from a previous marriage. Other Christian denominations don't claim that. But irrelevant to the topic.

3. JD is likely confusing Mary Magdalene with Mary Jesus' mother. Because the former is often (for some reason, nothing Biblical) conflated with the prostitute who anointed Jesus' feet. No where in the Bible does it state Mary the Mother of God was involved with anyone but Joseph.

4. Shows a bit of JD's mindset where he'd assume that someone chosen to be the literal mother of the God he worships deserves nothing but scorn and contempt. One can only guess how wonderfully he treats women in his life.

Man, I love this sort of "reading the signs of Biblical Prophecy" when it's so obvious they are just reaching desperately.

Like, I don't even know what they get out if it. "Hey! Here is a Bible verse that mentions a thing. This other thing mentions a dragon, but literally has nothing else to do with it. The space craft is white, has no heads, has no horns, and does not wear crowns. It also has nothing to do in context of the rest of the verses around it. No chasing after pregnant women, no tail, no wiping out a third of the stars in the sky, nothing."

This helps lead people to Jesus... how?

I wonder if Trunp's casual desire to backstab and alienate our allies, his desire to hack and slash government departments under his control, gut regulations on safety and the environment, and just being an all around terrible person could have anything to do with an uptick in critical talk about Trump?

No, must be that CHINA doesn't like him. That's the most rational explanation, according to Jon Freeman.
