@philopublius9 @kash_avena @TClaudiusCAG @dw2 @GaryMarcus @DHuskytron @xriskology So - who in your mind is the most importantly thinker or motivator within this coup?

@kash_avena @TClaudiusCAG @dw2 @MrEwanMorrison @GaryMarcus @DHuskytron @xriskology I agree with that as well. Until there can be a drastic change in the wealth/power that really makes up the backbone/main source of the NRx coup, I think that could survive the MAGA/populist movement being ended & adapt its methods.

@TClaudiusCAG @philopublius9 @dw2 @MrEwanMorrison @GaryMarcus @DHuskytron @xriskology Yeah, because of our county's individualistic culture it might really have to come down to individuals getting hurt directly before we can all come together and end the mad rule of MAGA. I fear NRx will survive a regime change and continue growing like a cancerous mass.

@philopublius9 @kash_avena @dw2 @MrEwanMorrison @GaryMarcus @DHuskytron @xriskology The MAGA approach is "lets just completely give in to all our most atavistic impulses". You're probably right that the consequences of that strategy have to be fairly dramatic before a critical mass of the voting public start rejecting it. Pure "id" is fun ... until it is not.

@philopublius9 @kash_avena @dw2 @MrEwanMorrison @GaryMarcus @DHuskytron @xriskology Well the lust for dictatorship isn't unique to rich fat cats. There's a volkisch impulse too, best expressed by the "daddy's home w/his belt" analogies from damaged ppl like Mel Gibson. Not that he isn't a fat cat too, just that his rhetoric is more populist than Yarvin's.

@kash_avena @TClaudiusCAG @dw2 @MrEwanMorrison @GaryMarcus @DHuskytron @xriskology Is being doubled-down on right now. I think honestly, it won’t start to wear away and the average person won’t start to be receptive to what is happening until things start happening/start being adversely impacted on US soil in ways they haven’t been for most of US history
