“The guy is clearly an idiot, maybe he means well but again that is irrelevant. This has Republican hit job written all over it from the get-go, I wouldn’t be surprised if Collins team found out about the tattoo (before he even decided to run) and directed “political technicians” to infiltrate his social circle and subtly nudge this guy to run, consequently becoming an unwitting accomplice to sabotage a genuine left-wing movement.”
For America’s adversaries and the Dark Enlightenment who financed Trump, it’s the best decision. Elements within the Trump admin have the stated goals of dismantling democracy, destroying the economic world order, and collapsing civilization. These people supported Trump because of the absolutely shortsighted, selfish and stupid decisions he would make.
When parties are roughly evenly matched, elections often turn on irrelevant or misleading considerations such as economic spurts or downturns beyond the incumbents’ control; the outcomes are essentially random. Thus, voters do not control the course of public policy, even indirectly.
Duverger’s law, the way the elections are winner takes all makes it mathematically certain there are only two viable options. It’s basic math which people failed at.
His ideas have influenced people in the Trump admin unfortunately, it’s likely where they got the notion of shifting the world order to a multi-polar one.
The video, since you didn’t watch it, explains how Dugin and the Dark Enlightenment align insofar as destroying liberal democracy and the West.
That depends on the target audience. It certainly plays into the Dark Enlightenment’s objective of scapegoating (mimetic theory) the chaos agent (Trump) tasked with dismantling democracy. By some metrics, the US is no longer a liberal democracy, so it must follow that phase 2 of establishing an authoritarian state techno-monarchy will begin during/soon after Trump’s actual removal.
A core element of the Dark Enlightenment is the mimetic theory of desire, especially its scapegoat mechanism. Trump was supported by the tech oligarchs to serve as a chaos agent in dismantling democracy, to then be scapegoated and removed from office after destruction was complete. Credible institutions have noted the US is no longer a liberal democracy, but an electoral democracy, the autocratization process is still in process. It’s doubtful he will be removed before fully ending democracy, and especially not before midterms, I suspect next year is when those efforts truly take off, maximizing Vance’s time in power to carry out Thiel & Co’s utopian vision of a Balkanized technofeudal America, an antithesis to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Vance is Dark Enlightenment, the plan going in was Trump to serve as chaos agent to dismantle democracy and then scapegoated (mimetic theory) after the destruction was complete. Vance would then step in to “rebuild” a utopian society from the ashes as Peter Thiel envisioned. The presupposition here is that democracy is effectively ended, it’s not working as planned and they would hold off until after midterms before impeach/25th Trump to maximize success in establishing whatever technofeudal dystopia they’ve decided on.
As opposed to any other system in human history. Do you know what a category error is?
Before capitalism, there was no minority repression, or something.
Oh look ad homs from a tankie.
It’s a common strategy for political and media operatives to support weak primary candidates in the opposing party.
I’m just gonna link a comment I made months back:

Not to be confused with the Caduceus, the symbol of commerce, used by for-profit healthcare.

It’s not pro Russian, fuck Russia, either watch the video before commenting or stfu.
15 year old video, unlikely to come up in anyone’s algorithm.
It basically discusses Duverger’s law and why first past the post voting is not a good system.
You could have watched the video for context, gained a better understanding of the system and what needs to change. Ignorance is not a strength.

That’s actually been the plan since the beginning. A major component of the Dark Enlightenment is the mimetic theory of desire’s scapegoat mechanism.

We can make morals out of science, it establishes truth and can serve as a foundation for moral development.
