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.

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.

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’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 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?

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.

I hate being thirsty, don’t you?

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