We live in extreme times. Polarization of political views & extreme ideologies have taken over our belief systems. Today on twitter I found out that Trump got permanently suspended. Here is what twitter said;
My timeline was filled with irrational comments, lash outs, fear and resentment against the suspension. My followers on Twitter I suspect are more conservative/right leaning in their political views, despite my content to be mainly centrist viewpoints. Some of my followers also happen to be left leaning and yet cite me as one of their favorite accounts.
Whatever your political views may be, I am here to tell you not to express it. That doesn’t mean for you to turn a blind eye to politics and remain ignorant. There is a difference between not having any viewpoints and not expressing it. This is one of those moments where you “Don’t Always Express what you Believe In”, a title of an article that will be soon published for subscribed members only.
Expressing your political views commits you to a side. It doesn’t matter how mildly or aggressively you express it. What matters is that you have chosen a side.
A side you probably don’t even understand. I tweeted earlier today that;
Nothing is what it seems. Do not assume that Right-wing Capitalists are the savior of this world. Do not assume that they preach free market capitalism. They don’t.
Most billionaires are capitalists on their way up and become socialists as they reach the top. The right-wing capitalists you supposedly support despise free-market capitalism, an economic policy that would threaten their capitalist empire. The only way to preserve their interest is to remove free-market capitalism and promote socialism and left-leaning ideologies. What you think of the left is probably not true. The left is not run by the left. Their inherent ideology of social equality and egalitarianism is so dysfunctional and weak, that it would not allow them to become such a force of nature and take over the media with the ability to wreak havoc over a nation through protests & riots.
Whether my observations are right or wrong, everything that is happening suggests that one thing is absolutely clear:
The destruction of the middle class.
Today’s Neo-Marxist socialists do not care about the poor. They just hate the rich. and consequently push for egalitarianism. And the capitalist billionaires that once believed in free-market capitalism declare it as their #1 public enemy by endorsing leftist ideologies to eradicate the middle class who generated their fortune in the first place.
It is no coincidence that Silicon Valley’s political views are left leaning. The big tech giants who reach billions of people on their social media platforms have taken a stronghold to promote their leftist-ideologies and effectively destroy the middle class through equality. My view is that the majority of the left-wing activists and the minority of the right-wing corporate capitalists are closely working together to bring about the eradication of the middle class.
So what do you do?
Nothing is what it seems on the spotlight. So there is not much you can do. Furthermore, if you choose a side, then you are more likely to generate enemies for yourself than make an impact on your chosen cause. So keep your political views to yourself and support both sides. Rather than latch on to some cause none of us even understand at a molecular level, improve your own life.
- Focus on becoming financially independent
- Publicly maintain a centrist viewpoint
- Network and provide value
- Build trusted connections
Then if you want to help a cause that you believe in, you will do it with force. And you will be able to fund, lobby and covertly associate yourself however you choose to. Learn to play BOTH SIDES of the game. The world is a stage of transactions. Senators and judges are bought as means to achieve particular ends. Whatever you see on the spotlight, is not what it seems.
