SANTAGATA ON THE TRUTH WE DISCOVERED IN THIS ELECTION
Lessons & Observations from this election:
1) There is no “mainstream media”. There is only a Controlled Media.
2) The Polls are almost all lies to shape consent, to shame and to control. And to try and generate and gain “moral outrage” for the losers.
3) You would never call a Chinese “racist” or “xenophobic” for voting for a Chinese in China, therefore, it’s not just hypocritical but unacceptable to call a white person “racist” or “xenophobic” to do the same in U.S. (btw I have never heard of any Chinese electing whites to significant positions of power anywhere in China as one example).
4) When you attempt to shame people about who they shouldn’t vote for and tell them their ancestors who put men on the moon and gave you semiconductors and GPS and science and tech ad infinitum that they are tainted and losers they will Reveal preferences at the poll. Push the further and you’ll find out who they fight when cornered.
5) Trump proved that a Jedi level persuader can take on his party, the opposing party and the entire Controlled Media and win. There are a number Of simple psychological reasons and techniques which tap into our collective hard wired DNA and imprint in our psychological over the eons.
Enough lessons and observations for today…

To my friends in Ukraine. You didn’t believe me, did you? 😉
American politics are just as corrupt as Ukrainian. It’s just that we’re a lot richer, and our courts aren’t corrupt. So Americans threw out the entire government this time. You need to do it again. This time, kill enough of them that they fear you.

@paulkrugman We can start by you coming to terms with the fact that it’s about blowing up Washington and not about hatred.

—“Democracy is stable if and only if it is less costly than violent conflict, to those capable of winning a violent conflict.
But high time preference people discount the future cost of their present demands.
Even if they WANTED to preserve democracy and its boons for themselves by limiting their rapacity (that is, if they understood what is at stake and why) they would still lack the perspective necessary to know how much.
Violence is the only way to provide that, the only way to communicate that.
If they demand death and destruction, we simply prefer to supply it now, rather than later.
That way, they may get what they desire, and we may get what we desire – to go back about our business unmolested.
Win-win.”— Eli Harman
