A situation is not a temporary thing. People should remember the situation they find themselves in and their life are the same thing.

The Pen is Mightier than the Sword Among bloody victory itself, Self Righteousness and Fear mongering are the means of the sword. That instrument, the sword, can be used by the authorities of the ruling class status quo as well as the authorities of the actors organizing the forces for change. Listen to who uses it and how. Generally the forces for change don’t have the power of the sword, but gain it soon enough as their pens produces the narratives that capture the action of the people. As podcast and alternate media overtake legacy media in grabbing the attention of the people, the one holding the sword changes. Are you watching? It does not always appear as a bloody change. It is what makes sense to them that moves them. What makes sense to you? #asknostr

With regard to what happens as a result of democratic (i.e., mob) rule, I am partial to understanding that it has something to do with the individual beliefs of the members of the mob. I do find value in credible polling in my own attempts to understand those beliefs. I don't look for the administration's 'doings' to align with my views on righteousness or morality, but they don't need to do that in order to become, for lack of a better word, the reality of our environment. Can we agree on this situation we find ourselves in. These changes in our enviorment seems to me to be a battle between a resistant, status quo ruling class and an emerging a new billionaire class who demands reconsideration of the orthodoxy. The loss of credibility of the legacy media seems to be the prerequisite, not the consequence, of this change. The alternate media seems to give to the masses a cognitive space to accept the change and participate accordingly. What is accordingly?

We are not trying to make the world safe for democracy. We are trying to make democracy safe for us!

The power of the state, like that of all rulers and ruling institutions, is that which its opposition cannot stop.

I believe in intelligence when it is understood as that which organizes the many into one. Justy as it organizes 1 to 30 trillion cells into one individual human body, similarly it organizes human populations into culturally (think polis, i.e., city) like minded actors. What do we call those actions within this type of complexity that are not intended on the becoming of one? Without those actions which some call destructive, it cannot grow (think change). The forces at work today that are intent on 'e pluribus unum' depend on the 'God We Trust'. Not to say that is a bad thing.

People who don't know the difference between a consensus and the truth often think that they believe the truth.

Some people present this as evidence that Trump is Hitler.   Some people believe it.
