  • Yeah, that said - I don’t think he’s a fascist yet. I think he’s an extreme Capitalist with a narcissistic personality.

    He likes to joke, play, and dance with violent rhetoric to get views and likes. He goads the left into giving him attention, and his supporters find it funny.

    So I think he’ll be a more run of the mill candidate than most on the left are claiming. This is because American democracy is already corrupt, already serves mostly the wealthy and bigotted, at the cost of the stupid, poor, vulnerable, and ignorant.

    So he won’t be a noteworthy fascist unless there’s a government action results in a mass violence, OR he refuses to leave office.

    Sure is!.. and deciding to change candidate without a democratic primary was part of finding that out.

    Gen-Z men also shifted towards Trump.

    So progress is unfortunately not linear, but can slip back to darker times. Which is not great.

    Edit: Also, though I think lots of Trump voters vote for him because he’s unusual. They see him as a vote against the usual. Against establishment candidates, and against the standard social-political contract. So establishment candidates being disconnected from what voters actually want is a big part of it.












  • You should really lookup what the Cambridge Analytica scandal was… They didn’t tell people they were manipulating them, they just did it.

    That’s part of the point. People who want to end Democracy aren’t doing so because they respect your right to choose.

    Likewise, I doubt you’d get a choice if your city falls under the domain of a network city.

    I think if you really don’t understand, then maybe that’s what’s needed to make you understand.


  • If a bunch of billionaires who control the algorithm want you to think something about history. That’s what you’ll think. Not much “looking back” to be done if that happens… And they have all the money they need to fulfill their plan. You should look some of this stuff up. 1. Yarvin wants a monarchy. 2. Thiel doesn’t think democracy is compatible with his idea of freedom. 3. Marc Andresseen wants each billionaire to run their own “network cities”.

    They all know each other, and donate to the cause. Investing in the related companies and projects.

    Look up those three sentences on google. See if I’m telling the truth. Thiel was involved with Cambridge Analytica via his company Palantir. That was the plot to manipulate people’s emotions by inserting stories into their social media feeds.

    They’re not going to go away. It’s not a matter of what you’ll think of Trump… These guys won’t stop after he’s gone. They want an end to democracy, and have all the money. Musk is with them. Eventually you will be convinced too.

    There won’t be any looking back where you’re going.
