What the Future May Hold

The Germans in late 1920s, early 1930s Germany, they weren’t evil; they weren’t monsters. Neither were the Hutu in Rwanda. But “charismatic” men came along, and began shouting at regular people, every day, through tiny boxes in their homes: their radios, telling them that nothing was their fault; it was “the other.” Your gay neighbor, that Jewish store keeper, that Tutsi minority.

I bring these examples up, so you can see what is happening here. Now. Trump is working with the tech bros (Musk, Andreesen, Thiel, Durov, Luckey, Pavlovski, etc) and the global far right. They’re all sing from the same hymnal now. It’s time to wake up, now

  2. This is totally, diametrically wrong. Everything is bottom-up. Nothing is top-down. The people are always the problem. There are no "charismatic" persons, only people who know how to jump on a bandwagon and pretend to lead it.
