Grand Strategy /📄
Time is the most expensive thing in your life and something you can never buy more of. So anyone spending time on politics is ultimately doing it for a strategy, either hidden or revealed openly.
You will encounter two types of people in politics: The most common are those who are running a self-enrichment strategy. The rarest are those who are there to achieve an overall goal which cannot be done as an individual.
The first type type will make their goal's as vague as possible. For example:
"Make America Great Again" -> What constitutes greatness? Red flag laws? 500 billion for Black Americans?
"America First" -> What even *is* America at this stage and how do you isolate it from the Judeo-satanic plague? Celebrating war crimes and humiliating other nations to feel some temporary pride?
These goals are pathetic. I can go on, but it's easy to dish out so I will look within!
Do we have a goal? Of course we do, we've stated it a zillion times over the last decade or so: Our goal is to Make Anime Real.
The goal may seem childish, perhaps even more vague than the examples I've just mentioned. But it really is not. It's about making the ideal, real. It's all about purging ugliness, lack of hygiene, injustice, villainy and immorality from this planet, at any cost. It's to make the dreamy moments depicted in art, real. To have people grow up without all of the misery we have to live through today. All of it must be eliminated, failing that, the universe beyond this planet must be protected from this irredeemable world. Then at least that ideal will become real elsewhere without being threatened by all the ugliness here.
It's impossible to do this without engaging in some form of chaos because ultimately this entire world order must be destroyed to achieve this objective. The key comfort is doing this without losing one's soul, ideally by having the evil ones eliminate one another for you. It also involves protecting the ideal long enough for it to become real. So for example, protecting anime from tourists is aligned perfectly with this goal. But I take a much broader vision that must integrate the entire ecology of the universe and align everything towards this goal.
Is it impossible? I do not think it is. Is it hard? I don't think there's anything harder.
Even one unrepentant decision that results in the acting out of villainy, spreading of ugliness, immoral action or spreading a lie will foil this goal or at least make it impossible for such an individual to achieve it within themselves. You cannot hope to change the world without first changing yourself to match what you want around you. Once you've justified one form of evil, you will eventually justify all of them and become identical to the ugly world around you.*
Similarly, pan handling for money will connect you to the world, bring it within you and foil this objective. Also, using your real identity will link you to the world and foil your objective for many reasons. In general, the moment you have an interested stake in what you produce, influence and share, you will foil your objective. This is why I would never ever monetize.
With that all said, you can see why the political group I mentioned is so rare: It's a form of self-sacrifice, isolation and adherence to an extreme standard. When attacked, it's easiest to justify a retreat to one's self. Evil loves to attack in these circumstances, making this position even rarer still. Worst of all... those who follow this route will never get to taste the fruits of the tree one of them will, one day, get to plant upon the ashes of this cursed planet.
That's ok with those of us who remain because the dream is alive in our hearts and minds everyday. The process of fighting for this world in the correct way mirrors exactly the world we desired around us, in our hearts, minds and soul.
We will make anime real, at all costs, oomfies!

* [Sadly, for some this is unavoidable. Those who must, shouldn't be resented as long as their action aligns with the goal and they acknowledge they have been irreversibly polluted. Just like any soldier losing their innocence in a war. I've written about this before so I will leave it there.]
It's actually a crime against humanity how elegant and beautiful the internet used to be, and now everything just looks like garbage. we are constantly swimming in garbage, both IRL and online. How do the tech elites think anything looks fine now? Why is everyone just rotting?
Dismantling the "no body owes you anything" boomer meme.
This meme is used to promote hard-heartedness, despicable callousness, atomised individualism and general satanism.
Where did it come from?
What does it truly mean?
Why should we overcome it?
And how?
A short thread. /🧵
