The 1948 Irgun Re-Born?
To the winner the spoils for the Oracle told me so where ocean breezes blow
“Unless a man has talents to make something of himself, freedom is an irksome burden. Of what avail is freedom to choose if the self be ineffectual? We join a mass movement to escape individual responsibility, or, in the words of the ardent young Nazi, “to be free from freedom.”
Eric Hoffer (writer)
“If there had been a strong democratic sentiment in Germany, Hitler would never have come to power . [Germans] deserved what they got when they went round crying for a hero.”
AJP Taylor (historian)

The signposts are there for all to read: The West -- in deliberately overlooking such explicit markers -- cannot then complain, or escape, the ensuing consequences.
No, the ‘tin ear’ is not some new western derangement -- a unique mass collapse of sanity -- that we are living through. It is something worse: a return to a dogmatic, authoritarian version of truth which dissident physicist Eric Weinstein complains has (in the West) also destroyed true science -- ignoring and silencing its most important dissident voices, whilst amply rewarding Science’s frauds.
Consider: Prime Minister Netanyahu addressed the US Congress on 24 July saying, in an unrelieved Manichaean mode, that the West is facing an “axis of evil” (Iran and allies), which the US must join in destroying. It was a call to participate in civilisational war.

“As Peace, am I not praised by both men and gods as the very source and defender of all good things?...Though nothing is more odious to God and harmful to man, yet it is incredible to see the tremendous expenditure of work and effort that intelligent beings put forth in an effort to exchange me for a heap of ruinous evils.” (Erasmus, The Complaint of Peace, 1517, Dolan translation)
I think that to many minds, and especially anyone successful in western schools, to find 'a truth' or 'the truth' is to find but a singular fact, a singular vision, a singular system. This is selected to the exclusion of what are seen all other facts, visions, or systems. In so doing these narrow truths all but choke us out if we disagree.
What do you make of Eric Weinstein.
He is positioned as a Trump/ Vance/Thiel advisor.
I've gone off his brother, Brett, of course.
Why is there such a small pool of actors?
