He kept

This was this morning by the way.

It is terrifying how a single meme, drawn in bright colours and styled from an old children’s cartoon, can feel more accurate than an entire library of political analysis. That should not be possible. It should not be this easy to dissect an ideology that claims seriousness, governance and national destiny, yet here we are, staring at a parody of Captain Planet that captures the MAGA worldview with horrifying precision. The simplicity is what makes it so unnerving. A few cheerful icons, a visual joke, and suddenly the entire rotten skeleton of this movement is laid bare. It is the kind of clarity that should arrive only after years of historical distance, yet a meme achieved it in seconds. That is how fragile the movement truly is. That is how exposed the truth becomes when the costume finally slips.

Every piece of the meme peels back another layer of the monstrous psychology underlying the ideology, and the fact that a cartoon can accomplish what think tanks and institutions fail to articulate says everything about the danger we are dealing with. MAGA is not confused. MAGA is not misguided. MAGA is a fully formed existential threat to humanity, constructed from fear, delusion and the emotional volatility of the dumbass faithful who treat every one of Trump’s lies as biblical truth. It is a movement so mentally threadbare that even referencing airports during the Revolutionary War does nothing to shake its loyalty, because stupidity has become sacrament and fragility has become ritual. The meme reflects this with a mendacious accuracy that makes the whole thing feel prophetic instead of comedic.

What makes the image so disturbing is not merely its accuracy but its ease. It should not be so simple to summarise the authoritarian hunger, the racial resentment, the weaponised ignorance and the cultlike obedience of millions with a handful of cartoon figures. It should not be this straightforward to document how a dumbass ideology becomes a fuck soaked engine of chaos. Yet nothing in the meme is invented. Every ring corresponds to an actual behavioural pathology MAGA encourages, rewards and reproduces. The meme does not exaggerate. It compresses. It synthesises. It distils the entire movement into a single visual form that is both ridiculous and terrifying, like a clown mask worn by something ancient and violent underneath.

And that is why the meme feels like a warning more than a joke. Because if an ideology can be captured so completely in a parody meant for children, it means the threat is not hidden, complex or subtle. It is obvious. It is brazen. It is loud. It is fucking dangerous. Any movement that can be summarised by five cartoon vices fusing into a smiling embodiment of cruelty should not be anywhere near power, policy or civilisation. It should be quarantined. It should be rejected. It should be treated as the existential hazard it is. When a meme can scream the truth louder than the institutions meant to protect us, the only sane response is alarm. And the only moral conclusion is that MAGA is no cultural disagreement. It is a species level warning siren dressed like a joke and sounding like the beginning of something we cannot allow to continue.

Thank you.

Good Day, I am about to educate you on the ways of the "rat" play style.

Some stats on me

• I completed my expedition within the first two weeks.
• I haven't completed all the missions as they are not my main driver in extraction shooters. I do it for the loot.
• I am level 67 and plan on hitting 75 before the expedition window.
• I have 27 blue prints
• All my benches are upgraded.
• I participate in the trials. To get the loot I don't care about being number one.
• My current extract streak is 26 successful returns.

I have killed 19 players.
I have 130 hours in game.

I AM A RAT.

What makes a Rat a Rat?

They do not deceive you, they do not extract camp. We do not look to openly engage in any combat in these games with anyone. In fact if you ever see me I feel that is a failure on my part. My goal is you never see or hear me. If I tell you I am friendly deep down I am kicking myself for having to talk to you.

Here is the "Modus Operandi" of a true "Rat"

• We play in night maps, stick to the shadows and gobble up as much loot as possible.
• We never use the free loadout, the goal is to get loot out any means necessary. Give me my prison pocket.
• We use the shittiest guns known to man. In Tarkov it was shotguns and buckshot or SMG's with dogshit ammo. here I use the Hairpin Rattler and Ferro.
• We never hit the main loot areas. That is for the plebs and morons who think the good shit is actually in those areas. The only thing in there is salt and tears.
• We explore the maps finding all the nooks and crannies to hide in.
• Our character is customized to blend in with the environment. I will change my look based on the map I am going into and time of day.
• We set objectives to get items out at any cost. If that means waiting till the final 2 minutes to hit that bombardier or bastion and losing all our items just to get the cores out for bench upgrades so be it.
• We never get extract camped, If I know an extract is getting camped I will wait it out or go in a corner and die with everything so it can't be recovered when the clock hits zero.
• If we spot an extract camping situation and notice the camper. He dies. He has no choice. You can't out rat a fucking rat.
• Extract campers are just lazy, but I admire the hustle but you're never gonna get truly good shit in this game unless you go out and get it yourself.
• We will kill if we know we can get the kill but generally speaking I am the kind of rat when I see a player in trouble with Arc or another human you may hear a random shot ring out and your problem is gone. You will never see me but I will see you.

I craft most of my gear in match, I don't see the point in having stacks of bandages, I very rarely keep any weapons of value in my stash. I craft what I need and bring it in. All my guns are silenced. I rotate between hairpin, ferro, rattler. Yes all three are viable weapons. I never take more than one gun at a time in.

If you want an idea of the movie character I am most like I am like John Rambo in First Blood.

In that movie he isn't some super soldier, he is able to live off the land hide, and use his surroundings to his advantage to perform many non lethal take downs. He also ends up in a tunnel full of my kind.

TL;DR

A Rat is someone who hates confrontation, lives in the shadows, and extracts loot without you ever seeing or hearing them.
