Counterpoint: Montaigne would have been a great blogger. Rousseau, paranoid and moralistic as he was, would have been a top-tier poster before quickly descending into madness.
No. You can't point to MAGA narratives and say "look how we're the same." They are inherently disingenuous. Most of all with themselves. They don't know what they value or why they value it. They are walking contradictions who are entirely self-interested and will say whatever is most likely to win.
our leaders are creating an environment Rosseau would aruge is freedom (hardship and strife, but not for an external powers benefit, for your survival and benefit)
but it is literally maximum slavery, as they are going to deliberately create domestic and foreign chaos for total control like abusers
Currently reading the social contract now and it's insanely relevant. There's a part shortly after this that says the people's silence is the people's consent.
It never fails to astonish me how this pattern repeats itself over and over and over again in history. You can see it coming from way off and yet it happens again and again. Always with the same miserable result.
My memory of the Cold War era had me witnessing the end of a martial law dictatorship in the Philippines in 1986. I moved back to Texas later that year when the GOP hated russia.

Well yes. This is the party that ended slavery and then, when the votes of racists were up for grabs, became the party of the Lost Cause. They've been going downhill ever since Reconstruction.

this take was so bad i made 10 minute video to say how bad it is.
They literally promise carnage and hardship domestically and abroad.
Our leaders are lying to the people trauma and violence is a gateway to power for them.

Nobody.
I noticed that it did not sink in for popular appeal, and I won't be the least bit astonished if people still don't get it now.
The English in this was written from a higher level of intelligence. Basically.
