I’ll check it out.

I think what is happening is the reluctance of associating the term influencer with propagandist. The terms themselves are synonymous, influencer a little more specific, and without the added negative connotations propagandist has. If people realized “influencer” is just another term for propagandist, that may harm ad revenue. So we have “distinctions” being made, between influencers who do regular propaganda and influencers who do bad propaganda or “influencer propaganda” instead of just admitting they are all by definition propagandists.

Propaganda is the expression of opinions or actions carried out deliberately by individuals or groups with a view to influencing the opinions or actions of other individuals or groups for predetermined ends and through psychological manipulations.

Propaganda, Jacques Ellul

Civilization collapse will hit hardest on communities who haven’t localized their production of basic necessities like food. The financial backers behind Trump adhere to the Dark Enlightenment philosophy, with the goals of dismantling democracy, balkanizing America and establishing a patchwork of technomonarchy city-states from the ashes of destruction. The dismantlement phase is complete, now begins another phase of their philosophy, the scapegoating of Trump and replacing him with their Chosen One.

Here is a quote from the dark enlightenment to get people an idea of what these people have planned:

Civilization, as a process, is indistinguishable from diminishing time-preference (or declining concern for the present in comparison to the future). Democracy, which both in theory and evident historical fact accentuates time-preference to the point of convulsive feeding-frenzy, is thus as close to a precise negation of civilization as anything could be, short of instantaneous social collapse into murderous barbarism or zombie apocalypse (which it eventually leads to). As the democratic virus burns through society, painstakingly accumulated habits and attitudes of forward-thinking, prudential, human and industrial investment, are replaced by a sterile, orgiastic consumerism, financial incontinence, and a ‘reality television’ political circus. Tomorrow might belong to the other team, so it’s best to eat it all now.

A key milestone of the Dark Enlightenment agenda is to scapegoat (per mimetic theory) Trump after he has dismantled democracy and have him replaced by Vance by way of 25th amendment.

Freud popularized and systematized the concept, he was viewed as the founder of psychoanalysis so most psychoanalysts work was based off that foundation.

His reluctance to devolve power, his lack of loyalty towards his most zealous followers, his readiness to chop and change policies, his preference for mediocrities and sycophants over men of natural ability, and, most of all, his increasing tendency to believe his own rhetoric about the state of the nation ensured that the new state was never going to be a meritocracy

This is in reference to Mussolini, but it’s a valid description of Trump as well.

That’s typically the case between theory and practice. His writing carved out exemptions to justify totalitarianism in certain instances, defeating the entire purpose of his warnings against it. That said, the analysis of totalitarianism is accurate, the chapters on why the worst get on top and the end of truth are relevant to today’s political climate.

The word “truth” itself ceases to have its old meaning. It describes no longer something to be found, with the individual conscience as the sole arbiter of whether in any particular instance the evidence (or the standing of those proclaiming it) warrants a belief; it becomes something to be laid down by authority, something which has to be believed in the interest of the unity of the organized effort and which may have to be altered as the exigencies of this organized effort require it.

The Road to Serfdom, F. A. Hayek

It makes sense if you look at it from Trump’s financial backers Dark Enlightenment philosophy. It involves the mimetic theory of creating a scapegoat. So Trump dismantles democracy and triggers the collapse of the United States, is then scapegoated and removed by way of 25th amendment, then the Dark Enlightenment “Chosen One” JD Vance establishes the new patchwork of technomonarchy city-states from the ashes of civilization. Seems a bit rushed, I think they underestimated the amount of effort it would take to destroy the country.

They were nothing more than useful idiots, the Party no longer has use for them, they will be among the first Americans sent to the camps.

For that, you need to understand the etymology of the term and its evolution by way of elite capture as defined by Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò.

The term “woke” originated in AAVE to call awareness about racial injustice and systemic oppression dating back to the 1930s. The term was then captured and the meaning broadened by the elite within the Democratic Party, transforming the term into an empty signifier, that is the meaning is vague and varies from person to person.

The two parties differ on social issues because the ruling class (neoliberals) doesn’t really care about those issues, and use it as a tool to divide the masses into two camps.

The term was then captured again and inverted into a pejorative, loaded language term by the Republican Party, who has adopted authoritarian capitalist measures under Trump to protect the unsustainable system of increasing wealth inequality. It’s actually ironic how the right claims they are defending “Western Civilization”, when one of the main factors throughout history of civilization collapse is extreme wealth inequality.

The term “radical left” is used to shift the Overton window to associate center-right Democrats with “the fringe” of the left. This enables Republicans to move to the fringe of right-wing extremism and still be viewed as “moderate”. They got you fighting over trivialities, supporting policies that harm not only “the others” but yourself, while they pillage and plunder the wealth of the nation.

They got you supporting the same system as the Soviet Union, the same things you claim to oppose, because it’s marketed to you.

I recommend reading The Road to Serfdom, since you are by the author’s definition a socialist of the right-wing variety. In that vein of thought, it’s little surprise MAGA is closer to Marxist/Maoist Communism than anything American.

In short, the “non-radical” way to say it is its original meaning.

Learning about and recognizing the different plants around you can be extremely beneficial too. I recommend books for identifying local plants species, so many have medicinal and nutritional value. Call it gaining your “plant vision” lol!

“Radical left” is an example of loaded language from the video.

It’s over the top and stupid because he’s using crowd psychology, it’s language tailored to elicit an emotional response based on irrational fear and anger. The “truth” is delegated from above, it’s true because the “authority” says it’s true. The intent of this type of rhetoric is to mobilize supporters to commit violence.

Since fascism’s mythic power is automatically sapped by the renewed ascendancy of the private over the public sphere of life which ensues once political stability and relative social harmony are restored, it can only maintain its momentum and cohesion by continually precipitating events which seemed to fulfil the promise of permanent revolution, of continuing palingenesis.

Though it may seek through agitation and propaganda to develop into an ‘irresistible’ mass movement, fascism must always in the last analysis be imposed by an elite in the name of a national community yet to be realized, and whose realization, even once the movement is installed in power, will initially (and in practice indefinitely) involve reeducation, propaganda and social control on a massive scale.

Since only a minority of the population can be temperamentally susceptible to converting spontaneously to fascism or becoming the new breed of homo fascistus, and since even at the height of its popularity, no modern regime can enjoy total support, the thorough-going ideological coordination of the national community could never come about ‘naturally’. A grotesque parody of it has to be enacted through the extensive use of propaganda and terror.

Nature of Fascism, R Griffin.

Incredible as some of these aberrations may appear, we must yet be on our guard not to dismiss them as mere accidental by-products which have nothing to do with the essential character of a planned or totalitarian system. They are not. They are a direct result of that same desire to see everything directed by a “unitary conception of the whole,” of the need to uphold at all costs the views in the service of which people are asked to make constant sacrifices, and of the general idea that the knowledge and beliefs of the people are an instrument to be used for a single purpose. Once science has to serve, not truth, but the interests of a class, a community, or a state, the sole task of argument and discussion is to vindicate and to spread still further the beliefs by which the whole life of the community is directed. As the Nazi minister of justice has explained, the question which every new scientific theory must ask itself is: “Do I serve National Socialism for the greatest benefit of all?”

The Road to Serfdom, Ch. 11 The End of Truth, F. A. Hayek

These “influencers”, or propagandists to be concise, are encouraging the masses to ignorantly embrace the arbitrary rule of a vulgar conventionalist. They need the eradication of the Rule of Law, the dismantlement of Democracy and the Balkanisation of America to fulfill their twisted utopian vision of technofeudal fiefdoms.

Vulgar conventionalism is … that the life according to nature is the preserve of a small minority, of the natural elite, of those who are truly men and not [born] to be slaves. To be more precise, the summit of happiness is the life of the tyrant, of the man who has successfully committed the greatest crime by subordinating the city as a whole to his private good and who can afford to drop the appearance of justice or legality.
