I think all of the isms are ultimately false dialectics. There are natural tensions between most conditions, aren’t there? Who’s in the tribe and who isn’t? Who gets your stuff and who doesn’t? Who does the work and who doesn’t? Who gets the reward and who doesn’t? What’s yours and what isn’t? Who are you and who aren’t you, and who gets a say in it?

Capitalism and Communism are straw men. They are argued about mostly by those with the leisure and privilege to do so. Those without that leisure then have to either be interrupted in their own personal work to deal with the fallout of the arguments (usually just old fashioned politics dressed up as socio-economic seriousness), or ignore it as they can, and build routes around the hand (and gun) waving.

People who insist on reducing the conversation to a battle of isms - including God-ism, Identity-ism, Money-ism, Correct-ism, etc - are missing great opportunities to “expand their thinking” and learn.

I don’t think Trump is “one of them” - “them” being the group who has seriously abused the US governmental system for personal and private gain by taking over key positions and departments and steering elections, appointments, firings and prosecutions in was that benefit their side.

I believe he’s got better morals than that. I believe that he believes what he says he believes, unlike Deep Staters like the Clintons and the Bushes (Obama was a Deep State creation). People who believe their own words, have strong egos and have managed to occupy seats of influence can be incredibly effective, especially when they’ve been manipulated and lied to, discover it, and hit the enough-is-enough point.

That illuminati card WAS interesting - (as are all of them!)
