The first five minutes was satire, the “experts” sit in front of bookshelves to display their “smartness”, talk at people their “truths” to be taken on faith, and go through the rituals of asking to like/subscribe to their channel.

The pointlessness and excess of F1 racing is the point, it’s the culmination of all human culture, experience and meaning. We try to look for deeper meaning to life truth whatever, but there is none, the meaning is on the surface. That’s all there is, all that ever was and ever will be.

Fixed.

Millions of adults never mature mentally. There is now an entire political party of adults with the minds of children.

You can guess which party by looking for tue signs: avoids responsibility, poor emotional regulation, lack of accountability, impulsivity, difficulty to commitment, self-centered, black and white thinking, difficulty handling conflict, stagnation of personal growth.

Those headlines aren’t reality, it’s hyperreality, outside is a whole different world from what the images you are being bombarded with. You only have one life to live, may as well experience it while you can.

Hypernormalisation even.

It’s the aesthetization of politics, it serves as a recruitment tool for fascist ideology. They present art and symbols (memes) designed to evoke appealing emotions or ideas. Through repetition, the emotions and ideas associated with these symbols become fused with the individual’s identity. The fascist ideology, introduced and linked to these symbols, is more readily accepted because the individual already holds a positive association with the original symbols. It’s basically classic conditioning to transform people into fascists.

They competed for the support of the same type of mind and reserved for each other the hatred of the heretic. But their practice showed how closely they are related. To both, the real enemy, the man with whom they had nothing in common and whom they could not hope to convince, is the liberal of the old type. While to the Nazi the communist, and to the communist the Nazi, and to both the socialist, are potential recruits who are made of the right timber, although they have listened to false prophets, they both know that there can be no compromise between them and those who really believe in individual freedom.

Oh you weren’t joking, they are real!

Regardless of the pervasive reach of interpersonal social media and of the Internet in general (unless blocked by effective firewalls), control over the mass media emanating from the political center will still be our most important weapon in establishing our authority after the coup.

This feels like a post hoc fallacy. Capitalism is not the cause of those things, societies that organize into dominance hierarchies, regardless of economic organization, cause those things. Slavery, wars, dictators, barbarism, deaths, corruption, and hypocritical systems were present before and in absence of capitalism. The Soviet Union formed into a dominance hierarchy (bureaucrat class instead of capitalist class), and inevitably displayed the same attributes.

It’s called the Dark Enlightenment, they essentially want to accelerate civilization collapse so their utopian vision is realized. The financial backers behind Trump adopted this philosophy, and have articulated their plan: dismantle democracy, Balkanize America and establish a patchwork of technomonarchy city-states. People really need to be talking with their community about localization of production of basic necessities, otherwise it will be chaos, famine and death when the system fails.
