At ths point all Putin/Hard Liners can do is prolong the conflict b/c RU citizens tolerate suffering and western don’t. Best strategy available to them is the one they’re using: reduce UA to rubble driving everyone to the table so existing gains are preserved. Otherwise P’s Dead.

c) US/DOD/UN strategy is to bleed RU out.
d) RU can only bleed out waiting oppy.

Q:”Curt: RU propaganda is preparing the people for nuclear war and 30M deaths. What’s the chance of nuclear war?”
A: Propaganda preparing the population takes off the domestic table, demand to ‘use nukes!’ without having to use nukes.

–“Libertarians aren’t known for having any understanding of human nature, power dynamics, elite theory or history.”– Martin Stepan
Why? Man organizes. Organizing creates power. Power is the possibility of altering the probability of outcomes via influence, direction, coercion.

So if you want to call it a psy op, rather than a theory of completing the anglo enlightenment promise of ‘an aristocracy of everyone’, meaning a middle-class majority. That’s a failed vision, not a conspiracy.

There are many reasons for this, from misattribution of the value theoretical credentialism in the state vs demonstrated competency, to the attempt of the academy to replace the church as moral scion. To false promise of Marxism-to-Woke that the four laws of nature are violable. https://twitter.com/NoahRevoy/status/1579514668628193280

It’s equally ‘Ucommon Knowledge’ that the Soviet’s managerialism influenced business via Boston Consulting, just as it did education and the academy. The end of political socialism in the 60’s was followed by biz’s purge of management in the 80’s, w/ Academy/State purge WAITING. https://twitter.com/curtdoolittle/status/1579529931268448256

@bariweiss’ interview on Uncommon Knowledge provides a more populist explanation of Turchin’s (and the Machiavellian’s in general) problem of oversupply of ‘false’ elites, and the consequence of postwar turn to ‘credentialism’ as ‘nobility’ was no longer required for Ivy’s. https://twitter.com/NoahRevoy/status/1579514668628193280

(Well done). So we should, and do, observe the shift from loyalty to empirical results for the broader population (nation) to loyalty to the utopian credentialists and their self-appropriation.
