yup. i think it's the same thing. that's why it's hard sometimes to look away from that shit. the US isn't built for dictators. trump is as close to a dictator as bannon is ever going to see in his lifetime, but

a) red team/blue team, and
b) trump tweets things.

also

c) jared/ivanka/w/ev.

bannon is legit Interesting but i think there's just too many cooks in that kitchen. even trump must be frustrated sometimes. and he's playing against putin, who is probably 6000 miles above sea-level when it comes to this stuff and doesn't have the same kinds of issues to deal with.

not remotely. i mean i guess it could be for some. but if the whole thing is economics - or at least, a very large & influential part of the whole thing - then fascism/top-down state capitalism is always going to be a kind of a question.

i mean yes ofc it's good not to lose your shit and to be able to think about the good, the beautiful, the true, ethics, all of that. i just have a kind of an interest in this stuff.

i mean ffs bannon wrote trump's inauguration speech and basically directly quoted bane. this isn't exactly mike myers/dr evil.

nationalism is a rising thing. land tweets about it all the time. the chinese are getting hip to it. the russians are hip to it. the eastern side of europe is getting into it. italy/germany is becoming divided. and trump is obviously who he is b/c of it. these are interesting times.

i'd agree. but would bannon pass all of moldbug's tests? it's probably too risky for moldbug to say, i guess. in the public mimetosphere you don't always want to talk about this stuff.

fascinating. just so fucking interesting.
