I was born into a cult I cannot name. You’ve heard of them. I can’t say their name b/c they scrub coverage and I would risk attack. I am known to them, as is my family. I must protect my family but I also must share what I know.

The GOP is becoming just like them.

#OneVoice1 🧵
This cult holds people against their will. It segregates its own into castes, so’s to profit from free labor. It holds power and control above all else. To deviate from their dictates is to risk expulsion or death. This cult structuralizes itself against dissent.

Sound familiar?
This cult will slime your character and turn your family against you. They divide even the closest relations—parents, children—at the slightest hint of deviation from their views. I am fortunate to not have been raised in one of their churches.

Sound familiar?
This cult induces an absolute adoration of control, an idolization of hierarchy. They hold to a king, to be told what to do. Their leaders do no wrong. Their godhead is infallible despite his having been a shitty man, a veritable demon in man’s skin.

I know this sounds familiar.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned about cultists it’s that they have to choose to leave. No one can do it for them. They cannot be reasoned nor bargained w/. They will obey the dictates of their masters for they have been made empty to be filled up again w/ disdain for outsiders.
The cult I speak of teaches its adherents to speak in code for in language lies an iron wall pressed between themselves and outsiders.

The outsiders are us.

The GOP is a cult. They must be destroyed. Anything less will result in subversion of the US, the death of our biome.

i know steve bannon, i met him back in the day. we talked theory on community accretion in online spaces. he took some of that theory and applied it to help foment the alt right.

the alt right grew from the online video gaming space.

i know this space bc i helped create it.

🧵
when we think of the alt right and what they have become it never was any surprise. everything is pretty well known and out in the open, however it is de-emphasized by commercial media which in so doing effectively squashes relevant data in the public square.
it's why comm media seem to lag behind independent research: this propaganda technique, which i call staggered information release, is the cleaving into bits - into bytes - of complex truths so that every fact can be massaged into any mold desired.

You know what they’re trying to do? They’re trying to squeeze out players. Vaping. Now CBD. Don’t be surprised when new alternatives get big and gobble up the spaces. Same thing happened w/ online gambling (poker). Hell, the internet!

Here’s a history and overview. #OneVoice1 🧵
This is how our economy is exploited; it’s a “pump and dump” on a societal scale. The same mobs are crashing storefronts, but now it’s big corporations racketing the shit out of small–midsized businesses. In every sector. Soon there will be no opportunity left—we’re almost there.
To those who say “This is how it is, that’s how it’s played, the economy is rigged…”

You’re absoforkintootly right.

At a certain point, corps—money aggregates—get large enough to “bend” the markets. They have gravity.

I call them Death Stars of Capitalism.

The Intersectionality of Control

(As pertains to authoritarian lockdown of shared resources vital to continued human civilization.)

A thread in 3 parts:

I. Social Drivers
II. Inciting Techniques
III. False Flags vs. Real Solutions

#OneVoice1 🧵
DISCLAIMER: With this thread I seek to dissect the 2019 manifestation of white nationalism on a global scale. Therefore, “global white nationalism” refers not to localized racism or violence, but the collectivized, global nature of such threats today, which is unique in history.
I. Social Drivers

Global white nationalism is founded not on racism but the climate crisis.

Ethnonationalists—perhaps unwittingly—serve to protect capital interests while capital interests abet racism as a tactic.

Both misrepresent white identity as a means for human survival.

I’m sick of selling shit. I’ve been hustlin since I was 4 yrs old, in the flea markets around the Bay Area.

As a teen I saved up $40 of my lunch money to buy Magic cards, then sharked my way into a collection worth thousands.

Our entire economy is predicated on selling shit. 🧵
I’m officially done.

When I was 18 I was the youngest salesman in all Sears Brand Central depts in California. This was big ticket stuff; I sold computers.

We were encouraged to sell extended warranties, called MAs. One quarter I had the highest MA % in NorCal.

I killed a man.
I killed a man but not w/ my own hands: He tried to pass a bad check for a computer. I spotted it, reported him to Loss Prevention. They chased him into a rainy holiday intersection.

He was hit by a truck and flattened by another motorist.

I got $50 for this.

Does life = $50?

Let’s talk neoliberalism. Neoliberalism is not liberalism. Modern neoliberalism stems from Reaganism and Thatcherism.

Trump is a neoliberal.

Neoliberalism mainstreamed in the 80s by way of evangelicals and the resurrected corpse of the economist Milton Friedman.

#OneVoice1 🧵
Neoliberalism’s incipience begins in the late 70s, right about when Noam Chomsky warned of “a new breed of liberalism.”

Now, Friedman was kinduva lowgrade dude. He was basically marginalized and had all these frootloops theories based on his mentor Hayek.
The vid above is Chomsky. Before you get caught up in buzzwords and labels listen to what he says: He is warning of the metastasization of liberalism into a corporate multi-core state. Trickle-down bullshit and corporate personhood and primacy are hallmarks of neoliberal thought.

I hate being thirsty, don’t you?

Hucksters know this; they leverage need. Your lack is big business.

“Water is the oil of the 21st century.” Andrew Liveris (of Dow then DuPont)

“[Water is] the petroleum for the next century.” 2008 Goldman Sachs report

“There are opportunities in the water space that haven't been seen for decades now that governments have run out of money.” Martin Kloeck (Signina Capital)

We hear of corporate influence in politics. Now take it to its natural conclusion. Rethink 2008. commondreams.org/views/2019/07/…
Scarcity is a huge driver of capitalist markets. We learned it in high school: supply and demand.

Now apply that to the basics of survival.

Governments fulfill universal needs.

As govs become less capable who fills their shoes? Think of oligarchical interference as investment.
