The backdrop is that centrism is failing everywhere. Macron's France is a great example but you can see it in Starmer's Britain. It might be sensible policy but it doesn't satisfy anyone emotionally whereas Trumpism does. Of course "satisfied emotionally" can leave you with one hell of a hangover the next day.

Self-trolling, or centre left trolling centre-right, AND vice versa is my best answer to https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=reactionary%20centrism&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... (whatever else the centre stands for in any institution, one needs to see the dividing line _clearly_. What is the dividing line that defines the R-C in HN? Usually has something to do with things that feel like they cannot be said, yes!) Of course details matter*, but how else can we pull the rabbits out from under the rug? *Such as virtuoso listening skills, a functional beta-blocker or quietapine regime, etc. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46713785 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46713785

  Churchill's description of centre-left trolling centre-right and vice versa is his description of politics as being a collision sport where it's important to both be going in the same direction when you make contact, just pushing each other sideways to attempt to achieve an advantage for your side (the common goal should be the primary component; factional goals are secondary)? lagniappe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcJ9QDN_-cw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcJ9QDN_-cw

    Sounds about right. Here though.. have we figured out what the common goal is? I'm not even sure what the factional ones are.. "Decoupling by coupling" is my name for this confusion :) Concrete to-do is to dissect and mount some YouTube transcripts for ah, what I'd call "offspring activation" On the other axis, there is mention of lyingflat so that's where I've been nudging the trolls :) For both I'll have to read Hiroyuki Nishimura. May take a month! (Both the original and the Chinese version) "Things that cannot be said" as per Orwell are indeed part of the troll-sploration, shall we say, common, objectives.. ?

      Just about the time you've finished your reading, I may have located an english .srt for the "talking 'bout [his] g-g-g-generation". Currently only up to Andress-as-Inanna scene, and apparently she's had more trouble with return of capital lately than return on capital...

        The 1% effort seems very close to what I've arrived at as a strategy for doing something both novel and good (where, if the status quo is decent, most attempts will be either novel xor good). But then again, I've slept rough in my life, so maybe I'm the wrong person to ask? Who? Who are the other candidates, to be compared with Nishimura-san? (or do the vids answer that? will watch them soon)
