@MadsPosting If only you knew how loved by a stranger you didn't know... when the old man trauma dumps on you, somewhere in his heart, it cries out, "may this never happen to you"
The essence of Post-Fukuyama politics is the realization that the inherit end goal of any political faction is to be the dominant parasitical class who justifies their lack of power and privilege as an injustice based on their own conception of morality.
Let me break this down for people in the most clear way possible
YOU CAN'T WIN AN ELECTION BY TELLLING PEOPLE THEY HAVE PLENTY OF MONEY SO JUST SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN
I'm a high school teacher by trade so the fact that I need to explain this to theoretical professionals is insane
Academic discourse is nothing much more than meaningless signaling, just verbiage that meandere around buzzwords before inevitably arriving at the preordained and universally understood conclusion, so it doesn't matter that it is degenerating into a semiliterate Congolese pidgin dialect. In the end they won't even have to write anything. Grunting at the appropriate moments during the catechism will be sufficient reason for Cambridge to confer a PhD.
This guy is supposed to be some genius investor but couldn't foresee his kid leveraging an all access money printer to continually stay in school forever?
Everyone I know here is a experiencing the same problem:
Xitter - higher engagement than ever, no growth in a year
Substack - 4x the engagement as last year, no growth
YouTube - continued high enragement, no growth
So what causes this?
Perhaps our “right-wing” sphere just hit limits of its growth?
This doesn’t make sense, we are making constant inroads into other demographics, and until we hit “Daily Wire” levels we haven’t exhausted the number of people willing to hear our message.
Perhaps people are just ‘logging off’?
That can’t be the case since there is higher engagement than ever.
Perhaps an algorithm change or shadow-ban?
Ok, but it works strange. Usually engagement and growth track together. It’s almost like social media has been “siloed” such that people are encouraged to watch what they already watch but really nothing new.
@Stryk1986@GreeneMan6 I second this, While I enjoy the podcast, I don't really see many solutions outside of "Get talking" presented, when should people go for entryism? how much local involvement is needed before state/federal (or euro equivalent).
