sorry, can't hang with you, bro. you've convinced clara, but i'm not there. yes, i see a lot of bad actors in the world. but to use clara's analogy of global warming, i don't need the farting cows to be in on it with the oil companies and the forest clear cutters. the fact that they're all contributing to climate change isn't a curious coincidence worth examining; it's the inevitable result of the state of the world.
if you want to find the common thread that links climate change, nationalism and a lot of other ills, it's too many people on the earth + the technological means by which these people can inflict harm to each other and the planet. they don't need to be in cahoots. the fallacy in your belief structure is that facts don't matter to you. you've created your own epistemology that is evidence-proof. so, when you write about how cons and cults work,
this is how they work.
i don't write this to minimize the damage being done. whether it's climate change, wealth redistribution, nationalism, the rise of theocracies, we're in a multi-faceted crisis in the world. we're in a 5-alarm fire. for sure! but there's a danger drawing lines between the problems and parties when no lines exist. "what is the danger," you might ask? as you are a military man let me give you one example: vietnam. for sure, the soviet union obviously sought to expand its list of satellites. but according to my reading the overarching motive of ho chi minh was simply the independence of his country following chinese and then french domination. american misread this, assuming a conspiracy where none existed, costing america in ways impossible to fully calculate. multiply this x all the similar episodes (iran, chile, british guyana, nicaragua). the iraq war post 9/11, your generation's war, again a casualty of belief in a conspiracy that did not exist. belief in manufactured conspiracies yields consequences. the far right's hillary fever dream breeds consequences.
for sure, there are strange and almost inexplicable alliances. you mention both orban and netanyahu, and it's facepalming how the latter can embrace with a wet sloppy kiss the former, who is the next thing to a nazi. what they share in common is that they are power-hungry strongmen nationalists. but since you watched CPAC you know that orban railed against george soros, describing soros' vast conspiracy network, and i'm pretty sure you rolled your eyes at that. but orban's descriptions of the vast conspiracy should feel at home to you.
I feel like youâre misrepresenting my argument, which is obviously about me and how I miscommunicate and not about you. That said youâve reduced me to a conspiracy theorist.
Before I get to that I would say that we are witnessing *performative* vulgar Nazism, because thatâs how propaganda works, and weâre witnessing *performative* support for vulgar Nazism, people who think theyâre getting in early and getting over on honest people, because thatâs how cons work.
This is my thesis: the real world is measurable, or can be made measurable indirectly, and the real world has consequences. The measurements of consequences and who talks to whom and when and why and the comparison between what people say and what they actually *do* is informative, and for the moment more informative than the orthodox narrative because of media incentive structures and disinformation.
This is important because if I am right we are in a fight against a *networked* phenomenon that is targeting our *institutional* weaknesses⌠institutional thinking is too slow and too susceptible to its history being written by the winners. Network oriented thinking overlayed onto PACER and WIN and NCIC and search warrant database outputs and investigative journalist initial reports (ie. source documents and first principles) is a strong leading indicator of whatâs actually happening, and not CNN.
We, and CNN, can argue about what *happened* 1, 5, and 20 years from now, because it will be at least that long to sort out the data of the largest uncontrolled social and mass psychological experiment in history, and at least that long to sort out the corruption thatâs happening. Thatâs the thesis⌠a slow motion coup hijacked by a mafia shakedown that is in turn experiencing a hostile financial takeover, all against the backdrop of the biggest mass social psychological experiment in history where everyone is atomized and converted into data and thus targetable and fungible and bendable.
So no, thereâs not a conspiracy. There might be an entire economy though, a market if you will, where the invisible hand is both effectively assigning value to things and effectuating the supply of the things that people demand, as markets do, while market makers effectuate demand for things that are in supply, as market makers do.
This market of course has negative externalities and, in my opinion, itâs the negative externalities of this market that are indirectly measurable in âourâ world and that are affecting us in a totally novel and insidious way because of the current moment that we are in because there has been a revolution in influence affairs, in information affairs. The negative externalities I claim to exist would be consideredâhuman natureâ in the real world and be ignored. But if real the negative externalities might predict future regulation and thus overly entrepreneurial market makers are doing a brisk business selling derivatives of their products while they can and we are being overwhelmed.
Iâm saying that we lost our minds because of money.
Iâm saying you can predict what products will hit bike shop shelves 5 years from now because of the nature of supply chains and corporate brand strategy and product design process.
I posit that this is nothing new, that whatâs new is that for the first time (since the last time?) itâs bleeding over into the social construct that we call reality or narrative or shared history, because of technology, and as such I posited that the people participating in this market had come to like the way things were 2015 thru 2021 and were not going to want to go back to the old way willingly or lightly, ie. that geht would kick their feet and things were going to get weird.
Things are not getting as weird as I thought⌠I guess people are keeping their options open. Meanwhile the institutions are grinding into gear, slowly turning the ship around, etc. turning the entrepreneurs and market makers toward the service of our nation-state and stuffing the market back into the interstitial where it belongs, or maybe, one could hope, theyâre trying to close the markets once and for all, playing for keeps as I call it.
All that to say the nexus of tech and information and capital and surveillance and data and foreign interests and organized crime is an interesting place right now, and that the domestic wings of these silos need to be pressed into the service of the national interest, as they have been in the period of relative peace 1945-2020.
Crazy Weird Prediction: the Trump search warrant goes back to Tom Barrack, MBZ and MBS. And maybe Kushner.
