There are two cars, a red one and a blue one. The blue one is heading toward a solid concrete wall in a straight line at 250 mph. The red one is heading to the same wall, but at only 180 mph, and it's taking a more circuitous, scenic route. Pick which one you want to ride in.

masterful, genius level handling of a dialectic, if so.

Are you sure you want to continue this line of thought on ATS? Some here honestly believe that Trump is the 2nd coming and if not that, at least one of Gods chosen emissaries to help bring in Armageddon.

He could be in on the technocratic government and also investigating the criminals on the left. These things can both be true. I still doubt Trump based on some of his ideas that are elitist.

I have long held a quiet suspicion that Donald Trump and the whole MAGA thing was a big psyop. I thought, maybe he's in on it, or maybe he's just being played like the rest of us. But I have doubted the depth of sincerity - or perhaps better said, the efficacy - of the movement.
For example, the whole Q thing has excited so many over that past few years, but what real results have come from it? How many people have actually gone to jail because of political corruption, child trafficking, etc.? Please, somebody give me a head count. It seems to have revealed a lot of truth (i.e., really just rubbed it in our faces). It seems to have threatened a lot of wicked people (all empty threats thus far). Every week there's another IT'S COMING!!!! moment, but ... crickets. Nada. No heads have rolled. No prison time. Just a lot of feel-good expectations that keep getting pumped up to put us all on hold. Just be patient, it's coming...........
My wife was listening to some of the press conference from yesterday (I think it was from yesterday) where the "team" was talking about vaccinations and I was overhearing a bit. A thought occurred to me.
If you want to see what technocratic fascism looks like, all you need to do is look out of your window from the confines of your government imposed self-imprisonment. Look at the newsfeed and social media feeds on your phone or computer. Just look around. I won't say that technocratic fascism is "being ushered in." It has been "being ushered in." for years. And we (myself included) have all been willing participants. I carry around my own tracking device with me, and have known that I was doing so for a long time. I'm an idiot, just like most of the rest of you.
Given the choice between only two bad alternatives, a really, really bad one and a maybe not quite so bad one, I guess most people - if they can't see a third alternative - will choose the maybe not quite so bad one. What I overheard in the press conference that my wife was listening to was the maybe not quite so bad alternative. I was hearing a soft-sell for technocratic fascism in that press conference. It sounded like an alternative to what the "progressive left" is hammering, but in the end, I have a feeling that it'll end up in the same place.
My analogy of comparison between the Democrats and the Republicans has, for years, been this:
There are two cars, a red one and a blue one. The blue one is heading toward a solid concrete wall in a straight line at 250 mph. The red one is heading to the same wall, but at only 180 mph, and it's taking a more circuitous, scenic route. Pick which one you want to ride in.
That may be the choice that we have been given between a hard-sell and a soft-sell, and hard execution and a soft execution of the new techno-fascist regime. I think that we are being handed a softsell to the inevitable future of the human race. George Orwell said, "If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever." I have always doubted whether people like Orwell and Huxley were warning us or mocking us. I have always leaned toward the latter.
Take your pick: Really, really bad, or maybe not quite so bad.

"Trump" card...
Almost makes one think that maybe they were waving it in our faces the whole time.

Well I think they were.
I felt Trump was going to win, when I first heard the start of his campaign and after the first debates I was sure. His message could not have been better crafted to harness the collective will of the people. In the years before that election there was a collective anti-globalist current on the net, upset about the trade deals and the economy. Straight out of the gate those were the talking points he hit and the itches he scratched.
I saw the same thing in the lead up to Obama appearing from nowhere. I knew he was going to win, because the sentiments of hope and change were the zietgiest of the internet at that time.

Well-written thread incoserv...
Technocratic Fascists being the format for dystopia also seems accurate based on what we are experiencing...
Thanks for putting this together, S & F
