>This is what civilizational collapse looks like

1/
the dark cloud:

a major risk of civilizational collapse indeed, but not for the reasons you think
2/
look around:

now that the media's tribe is in throes and *might* collapse culturally, the best chance would be a competing tribe to carry on the torch

even before collapse, a competing tribe is good to keep the quality up & prices down. i.e., keep the messaging *honest*.
3/
unforced error:

through pervasive propaganda, the media changed the originally multi-tribe society led by men into a mono-tribe led media. the tribe became synonymous with the state, and the state became total.

in the name of unity we gave up the idea of ever questioning.
4/
where eagles dare:

a competing tribe still *exists*, but is culturally suppressed, suspended in deep hibernation, and would take some time to rebound. in particular to build or restore *unclogged* channels of communication...
5/
we need to talk:

...and build or restore *vocabulary* that is crisp, truthful, and unencumbered by doublethink.
6/
the story so far:

the risk stems directly from there being virtually no competing tribe to the media-led one.

the angloshpere is a system connected vessels and it's been dominated by one single tribe. when that tribe catches a cold, every english speaker sneezes.
7/
gather energy:

the way forward? remind us it is okay to have a tribe. point to successful tribes that live happily in the modern society and grow in size.

explore. restore leadership to people who *lead*.

and make english language great again :-)

Biden wants nuclear disarmament of North Korea as a *prerequisete to meet*?

Obama and Biden's administration *screwed Ukraine big time*; nobody can trust USA's word on that for a couple decades
2/
a sovereign state:

Ukraine had decent nuclear arsenal, inherited from Soviet Union

a bit dated & not enough to launch a major war, but plenty enough to keep itself *safe* from foreign attack
3/
a deal made made:

in 1994 Ukraine signed Memorandum, getting assurances of territorial integrity from USA, UK, Russia in exchange for dismantling the weapons (disarmament)

the other key difference is that you aren't streaming game files; you are streaming *the gameplay* - your own creation, with game as a background.

similar how you don't pay your hairdresser for streaming while wearing the haircut from her. it's the background to your own act. Image

remember when the journalists were peddling "impeach Trump"?

once in a while somebody half-sober asked, "Pence would become president, what about the LGBT?"

those people were quickly sidelined
3/
the "muh impeach" was newer for real, it was about manipulating the *rollercoaster of emotions*
