Politics = Drama; Avoid As Much As Possible - Examples From The Life of A Transgender in Politics

in #informationwar6 years ago

Politics is just drama. I've been telling similar things for some time. I'm not just talking about current events. I'm talking about the times that have passed to the times that are yet to come. I'm talking about tyranny and I'm talking about democracy. No matter which you pick, it is just drama that should be treated as a tumor that's killing the goodness of the world. Some wouldn't consider me an authority on the subject as I've never been political myself. I support Libertarian and Anarcho-Capitalist movements out of principle as they extend from the ever sacrosanct Non Aggression Principle. I also support basic sensibilities such freedom, privacy and spreading of valuable knowledge.

Today I randomly came across a YouTube video made by a person who has been involved in political commentary and it involved so many eye opening facts that should be enough reason for you to stop following people for political opinions. She is a transgender women living in USSA with seemingly right leaning views. Her channels has been demonetized by YouTube which is actually a good sign. She didn't start her channel to become famous or anything. But things had somehow gone viral and she got to witness the things both mainstream media and even small scale media are doing.

Simply put, they are doing anything and everything for engagement. Media companies have become like weapons manufacturers selling for both sides or script writers of soap operas who are fuleing conflicts and building drama.

I work in the political commentary world (PragerU) and the things you talk about here are exactly what I've seen as well. I think we need to call out the people who are being dishonest. I will blast Charlie Kirk every chance I get. People like him make politics toxic and distort our messages. He trains his activists to advertise their events to local antifa and to have people pose as protesters. They know it's good for views. But they are feeding the country's flames with that shit. Don't leave their names out. Put the liars on blast so that the honest ones can continue spreading their important messages without being conflated with the shite

I had this suspicion with some of them. I think it’s absolutely Rubin, Milo, and Candace. Also might be indirectly referring to Crowder. Thank God I’m not getting any hints of molyneux or mcinnes.
Just from this video I’m getting this weird suspicion that we have some plants on the conservative side.
Not going to lie Blaire, I’m not a huge fan of any LGBT anything, and I often disagree with you and many of the other (what I consider to be) centre-right commentators on a lot of things. That being said, this took a lot of guts for you to do and I respect you for it. I’m not a subscriber, so my opinion doesn’t really matter on this subject, but look out for yourself by all means.
We’re all coming upon some trying times and I would really like to know who is honestly in my corner and who is a fraud. Thanks for letting us know that they’re definitely out there.
Stay safe out there.

Digging A Little Deeper

Whenever I dig deep into something with a social/community aspect, one thing that is always evident is the power of incentives. Most things that are huge on the political landscape these days wasn't even a thing during 10 years ago. I would even say that politics wasn't this big of a deal at the time. What has happened is that people are able to gain things by getting them some oppressed minority label. They can gain things by throwing a fit using buzzwords or blowing things out of proportion. There is always honest actors. There are those who would never take part in a 51% attack on a blockchain like Dash, STEEM etc.

But anybody can have an opinion these days and have it broadcaster around the globe with social media and other related platforms. Basically we have a permissionless system for media usage and the incentives our society has created is seriously messed up.

Pushed Into Sex Work By Support Groups

You've really got to ask what these support groups are actually doing. They come across as ideological echo-chambers which are obviously going to turned into breeding grounds for politics. Minority groups have the incentive to be and act in a certain way to gain benefits that are not based on merit. Affirmative action (state enforced/sanctioned discrimination) is one. Attention hogging is another. It's easier than ever to access that 15 minutes of fame. It's easy to see lots of individuals becoming famous and "living the life". Those with no talents would find that identity can be used as something to replace talent.

At the end they themselves become sort of victims of their own ideology and for anybody who is wondering why there are so many political movements related to sex and sexuality, you can see that it's a trap these idiots have made for themselves. Those with nothing and nothing to fight for would join anything that can help them feel good and worth something.

Now Where is The Good in Any of This?

Personally I see no way that a significant amount of good things can come from a political landscape. One side is obviously disgusting and I watched the videos while writing this post and I really wasn't expecting things to be this bad. The only real TV channel I watch is called HBO and most of my YouTube subscriptions are related to technology, philosophy, education and entertainment.

I'm proud that I haven't been involved in these things.

“Libertarianism is neither of the left nor of the right. It is unique. It is sui generis. It is apart from left and right. The left right political spectrum simply has no room for libertarianism. Think of an equilateral triangle, with libertarianism at one corner, the left at a second corner and the right at the third corner. We are equally distant from both of those misbegotten political economic philosophies. No, better yet, think in terms of an isosceles triangle, with us at the top and the two of them at the bottom, indicating they have more in common with each other than with us.”

Interesting. I love HBO for Soprano's, The Wire and Oz because the tell a story of our troubled society today. Btw check this interview with the writer of The Wire:

The Wire was an eye opener for me. I thought gangsterism was only a problem in my country which is South Africa.
