Da yoots has got it right.
The Progressive Policy Institute (Will Marshall’s outfit) surveyed young working class folks. If the poll is valid, it shows a remarkably accurate understanding, despite all the toxins spewed by R and D media for decades. These people want Democrats to be like FDR and want Repooflicans to be like Ike. A couple of specific questions:…

Metawait 2
At a fixed timepoint in every episode of Lady Edgar’s official propaganda outlet This is your FBI, the smarmy Special Agent slaps his forehead and says “Wait! Why didn’t I notice this before?” Here’s one of those moments. For many years I’ve been focusing on ZERO TAX as the sole purpose of Repooflicans and Tech…

More Thiel Questions
Thiel Questions are arguments or views that others don’t share. The last time I updated them was more than a year ago. Time to add a few more. I’ve written about each of these before but didn’t treat them as Thiel. = = = = = (1) Standard “history” tells us that we didn’t offshore…

Old shared lie
Headline: Hillary Clinton warns against Trump 2024 win: ‘Hitler was duly elected’ Classic example of a Shared Lie. This is a valid argument against Trump. It’s ALSO a valid argument against Hillary. Most importantly, it disproves the entire myth of elections. Machiavelli wrote the book. Rulers still follow the book. For a ruler, elections are…

The hologram
Reprint from Nov 2016, shortly after Trump was “elected”. Nothing has changed except that I’m older now and exhausted from three years of TRUMP’S Nazi torture and strangulation, so I can’t write as well now. = = = = = START REPRINT: I’m still impressed by the fireworks aimed at a shimmering hologram of “Trump”.…

It’s all Sucker Filter
Looking at the post “debate” discussion, I was struck by the total absence of non-suckers. Everyone in the discussion stays inside a carefully constrained set of Shared Lies. This led to an extremely simple conclusion, which I’ve been nibbling around for a long time without quite getting there. Sucker filter explains EVERYTHING in politics. Politics…

Deepstate = Cheapstate
An Ockham thought after reading some theorists who attribute various emergencies to complicated PHYSICAL stuff like HAARP or “directed energy weapons” or “viruses” or “biochipped nanovax” or “escaped biolab projects”, etc etc etc. Deepstate is Cheapstate. Rich fuckheads never spend money unnecessarily. When you own the media and all the channels for the media, you…

Shared Multilie
Xlon’s X thing was always intended to be the whole web. 1. Commentators on both “sides” are missing the NON-ORIGINAL aspect. Before the HTML web, Compuserve and Prodigy were the entire web experience. If you were on Compuserve, you didn’t need anything else and couldn’t reach anything else, unless you got techy and delved into…

New coal, old coal
Britain is starting up a lithium mine in Cornwall, a traditional mining area. This is the REAL Brexit. Boris was playing an evil game, freeing his own demonic desires from EU limitations. Now Britain is trying to free itself from Chinese domination of the NEW coal, providing jobs for the descendants of the OLD coal…

This is crazy
Both “parties” have fallen into total personality cults. Each side has several credible opponents who can make valid arguments against the Lord Of The Cult. But the opponents never oppose. In real competition, product brands or church denominations or political parties offer SOMETHING DIFFERENT. There is always a dominant brand. Each non-dominant brand offers a…

Trying to clarify
Inspired by Mabel, trying to clarify my thinking about the line between publisher and common carrier. First: Section 230 of the Communications Act was a bad piece of “law”, undoing a very old balance and a very old distinction. In the 1990s the new online publishers like Yahoo and Myspace didn’t look like newspapers, so…

Gotchapower
Listening again to a 1950 Hollywood gossip show called Hollywood Byline. This episode is valuable because it’s uncut, including the offstage chatting and negotiating among the actors and producers. You can tell easily when the onstage parts start and end; all the voices are clear and organized and grammatical. I was comparing this on/off variable…

Trust ceiling
Still thinking about media, Batya, etc. Looked at a Gallup page on media trust to see if anything new is happening. Nothing fresh, but noticed this long-term graph that shows what media wants. Everyone says that Watergate was a shining example of Letting It All Hang Out, and renewed our trust in media. Nope. Watergate…

Feedback returns in one area
Americans are fairly smart about corporate brands but hopelessly dumb about political brands. When a corporation goes off the cliff for ESG, lots of people stop buying its product. We exert meaningful negative feedback, and now that the QE free money is gone, the negative feedback has some effect. We don’t respond in the same…

Nothing changes, nothing advances
It’s always fun to watch Shared Lies being busted. Nothing changes, nothing advances. Everyone still believes the fake “fact”, everyone still stoutly defends the two fake “sides” of the fake “argument” about the fake “fact”. Side A says the “fact” is good, side B says the “fact” is bad. Nobody is allowed to say that…
