Let me introduce sociopath theory.

Their lack of morals allows them to rapidly accumulate money and power. Once entrenched, they continue amass wealth and power far beyond what is healthy for functioning societies. People don’t check this accumulation because individually they are moral humans who it pains in the extreme to seriously injure another human on their own (Luigi is an extreme exception driven by unbearable pain). But, when it gets bad enough, the poor, the losers in the sociopath race, normally isolated, begin to bond together to protect themselves from predation. This bonding together decreases the individual emotional burden of doing violence. People mob up .. emboldened by those around them. At a certain point, it goes critical and elite heads roll far and wide.

At that point, the sociopaths are purged and the moral can go back to some form of just governance for a decade or two until the sociopaths begin to claw it all back.

Que the “ableist” hate mail.

"Ummm" ... "yeah, ya know." "Ummm." "Jeeze, I hadn't thought." Scratch scratch scratch" ... supressed burp. "Sigh." "Hmmm....ummm." "Hahahahahaha."

Yeah, fuck all that. Give me the info: Issue. Rule. Analysis. Conclusion. The big video push is social media grooming for the algo.

This became easy to predict about 15 years into the neoliberal project.

It’s the regime’s new economic paradigm.

Trump is a fire (lemmy.today)

I tend to agree with Ran in his “Trump is a fire” analogy. But I’d like to extend the analogy and see where it goes.

I spent some years of my youth as a wildland firefighter. There, I was taught about the “fire triangle.” Fire needs three things to sustain itself: (i) fuel, (ii) heat, and (iii) oxygen.

Ran says “And I don't want to make any specific predictions about how far it's going to burn, because I don't have a clear sense of how burnable the world is.”

By analogously analyzing the fire triangle factors, I think we can begin to take apart the world that continues to provide heat, fuel, and oxygen for MAGAs.

Thoughts?
