@MrEwanMorrison @philopublius9 @kash_avena @TClaudiusCAG @dw2 @DHuskytron @xriskology I think is worth reading the Thiel bio called The Contrarian by @chafkin to see some of the roots

@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.

The statement 'It has unfortunately become more relevant, @chafkin.' is part of a broader conversation discussing political movements and their implications. The conversation touches on societal issues such as political power dynamics and cultural impacts, thus constituting public discourse.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not directly cause harm, but the broader conversation involves critical discussions of political movements, which can be sensitive.
  2. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement acknowledges the relevance of a topic, potentially promoting understanding of its importance, but does not explicitly promote empathy or compassion. [+1]
  3. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement is part of a dialogue that involves critique of political movements, but it does not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments. [+1]
