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)?

- gsf_emergency_6 9mo agoSounds 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.. ?

- aebtebeten 9mo agoJust 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...

Tough question
- aebtebeten 9mo agoThe 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)

- aebtebeten 9mo agoOK, tough question indeed! So is the basic issue (in Linebargian terms), how to offer decency, goodness, security, prosperity, authority, liberty under law to people who are searching for glamor, terror, inspiration, and romance instead? (please let me know if you run across any digitisation of Lewis, "Hitler", 1930 ... https://www.monmouth.edu/department-of-english/documents/wyndham-lewiss-theory-of-mass-culture.pdf/#page=12 https://www.monmouth.edu/department-of-english/documents/wyn... ...when Lewis states, "the German Nation has the chance at present of voting for its future tyrant," he is really saying "at least Hitler is not you, Mr. Tyrannical Democrat." ... by supporting a tyrant who menaces authority figures in his own country, he demonstrates that he won't submit to them. ... the puerile fantasy of Oedipal mastery is underscored by an ironic posture that, on this occasion, was ill-chosen.)
- gsf_emergency_6 9mo agoYes. Channel Gen-Z's latent hipsterism (isolation from upper-middle-intellectuallism) into (gender neutral) "bernie-broism".
