This is the problem. Without a positive solution that forces the enemy into self-defeating positions they can rally and shame and ridicule by straw manning.

Move the body politic along.

WHAT DO PEOPLE MEAN BY TRUST IN THEIR GOVERNMENT

by Micah Pezdirtz

1) Confidence in transparency (warranted or not)

2) Consent to policy as comprehended

3) Satisfaction with perceived outcome.

(CD: That is constitutional quality. I have to put that in there somewhere. Well done.)

=== in response to ===

In the political context, when people are expressing in their government, it only refers to three factors (a) the framing of the debate by the media, academy, state complex, (b) the orderliness or at least comprehensibility of the patterns of speech and (c) the current levels of anxiety for the future.

In other words, the academy, state, media, create demand by generation of conflict, just as diversity of race, ethnicity, and class generates conflict, just as ideological competition creates conflict. The state generates conflcit for ATTENTION which gets them POWER.

Trust is a synonym for predictability over time.

MR PRESIDENT, Revolution Comes. We will write our names in history. It’s an opportunity for an even GREATER LEGACY than the one you intended. Not just for you, but for all of us.

To start it, just ask us for “A Show of Support”.

MR PRESIDENT, you are finally catching up with the rest of us, and losing hope.

MR PRESIDENT, you are finally catching up with the rest of us, and losing hope. You hoped you could continue to build your legacy, end the war against our people and civilization, and you are finally, like us, losing HOPE. The reason for American failure? Hope before diligence.

The left invented desirable denial, sophism and pseudoscience. The postwar right

The left invented desirable denial, sophism and pseudoscience. The postwar right doubled down on moralizing, b/c they were as afraid of admitting western civ is eugenic as the left was of eugenics. It invalidated democracy as national virtue narrative, in addition to the church.

@demontage2000 @JohnMarkSays @TOOEdit The right loves the feeling of moral righteousness as much as the left loves outrage. But that is why conservative thinkers failed. We must like the founders, but better than they, create institutions and processes that provide shared incentives, not that require shared belief.

Just want to mention that the molotov cocktail line was crossed in hong kong today, and I’m hoping my prediction holds that it’s extraordinary utility against police forces will spread.

The Kremlin is far more byzantine and like the chinese communist party, far more a group of powerful families. Ukrainian power is outside of the government in the 40+ oligarchs (Gangsters), and they have more money than the state (and more men and guns).

@karlbykarlsmith I don’t think any American who hasn’t lived in Kiev and talked with these people has the vaguest ideal how good the legislature and law is, but who owns the various judiciaries, and how corrupt the bureaucracy is, not because these are bad people, but because everyone is so poor.
