Seems like we’ve been on the express train to Billionaireville for a little too long now.

Good take. Attention is the oxygen i think. The heat? The pent up anger of the populace having endured decades of what is essentially a neoliberal uniparty. The fuel, distrust in literally everything that comes down from on high ... be it government, academia, corporations, etc etc.

 

I tend to agree with Ran in his “Trump is a fire” analogy. But I’d like to extend the analogy and see where it goes.

I spent some years of my youth as a wildland firefighter. There, I was taught about the “fire triangle.” Fire needs three things to sustain itself: (i) fuel, (ii) heat, and (iii) oxygen.

Ran says “And I don't want to make any specific predictions about how far it's going to burn, because I don't have a clear sense of how burnable the world is.”

By analogously analyzing the fire triangle factors, I think we can begin to take apart the world that continues to provide heat, fuel, and oxygen for MAGAs.

Thoughts?

Spread the word among your meat space influence circle. It’s how it spreads. Remember, the walled garden folks don’t get this info online. They live in a bubble.

You bet. Just a big fan of #fedi and slowly trying to get word out to people like Ran who can get the word out. And I’d hope that sooner or later this becomes the default place to comment on all things Ran — because Ran is #fedi — not corporate walled information gardens.

Nothing that a healthy dose of #fedi can't cure.

Humans are largely human because we are terrible "one-trial learners." We twist the tiger's tail until it turns on us. We don't learn. We come back to twist the tiger's tail some more.
