Indeed, how can you stop tribalism?

I don't know how, but I'm certain that transparency and open information will most certainly help and in a free dialogue people can criticize bad ideas and explain why they're bad. The unbalanced power of the corporate media is like a megaphone to our whisper of SaidIt and few will ever get to hear how wrong they are.

The Borgias was a fun TV series, naturally with its agendas, anachronisms, and fictions. What I find far more interesting is Webster Tarpley's lectures on the Venetians (don't bother with his contemporary political-historical stuff).

14 - I'm very serious, if I were in charge as temporary global tyrant. Everyone has been brought up in our Prussion Education systems and trained all their lives to believe all the lies of authority. A successful rebellion only requires 3% of the population to push back. If critical thinking, open science, open journalism, and skepticism of authority were presented to the masses, I'm quite certain that at least a quarter at minimum would wake the fuck up. Corbett is great, but as the tyrant in charge I would make better content with great writing, sexy presenters, glossy graphics, slick music, and of course a curriculum for all levels. Also, Corbett is not really for noobies. However, Richard Grove of Tragedy And Hope (T&H YouTube channel) has developed a critical thinking course, for free, and Mark Passio gives an excellent 4 hour class on Natural Law (in a nutshell: don't harm or deceive), which I'm quite certain could be compressed waaaay down and presented with glamour. I'd also make my Truther Newbie Crash Course a mandatory history class (though with a high production overhaul).

If I were in charge.

I also, neglected to mention, that I'd take on a lot of advisors and help and make it all 100% transparent, open, and publicly broadcast, rather than in closed secret boardroom meetings. All documents are released and all financials and economics transparent. ALSO, very critical, instead of doing things ONLY ONE way, I would encourage diversity and folks to develop MANY ways of doing things, so if any fail we have many alternatives.

After exposure to all that, I'm quite certain civilization would be totally different. But it's just a pipe dream.

I enjoyed T and H even if I didn't agree with a lot of it I think what he did for the man who's writings he had learned so much from when he was in the hospital was outstanding and incredible. I forget that man's name right now.

But why do you want to be a tyrant?

I don't. You recruited me when you asked me "What would you have done if you were in charge?" All authority is tyrannical to some degree. To make profound changes to the already indescribably tyrannical systems we have like I suggested, would require the status quo to be forced to change, via bigger tyranny, and the brainwashed masses won't evolve easily either.

I thought it was a fascinating and curious little challenge to outline the grand sweeping changes necessary to bring fairness to the people and Earth.

Ahhhh got it. I wasn't I asking about Covid-19 though? What woudl you do if you were in charge? Anyway an interesting list indeed!.

I would go with the Swedes and do absolutely nothing.

Though, if it were actually a threat, as I stated:

In short, the virus is equal to or less than the flu.

Isolate the sick and the susceptible (Boomers) = quarantine.

Isolate the healthy = tyranny.

So, if I were in charge, the former obviously.

It's easier to say now with hindsight. Initially there was a lot of fear and confusion. Leaders not in the scam loop might be excused for going along with it - maybe. Considering it's all just a giant power grab and excuse to crash the market, reset inflation, grab wealth and power, pass lots of draconian laws, starve the people, thin the herd, and rebuild their new world order, then it's hard to believe any leaders were out of the loop.

The WHO and FEMA and all the health organizations are WELL FUCKING FUNDED and have been preparing all their existences for these emergency situations - yet NONE of them acted efficiently or effectively and now demand MORE money and authority. BULLSHIT.

Nothing ads up and the whole think is not just blown out of proportion, they fucking nuked the entire fucking planet.

Of course they'll never consider https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jubilee_(biblical) so "debts would be forgiven" and we can return to normalcy. Their whole plan is to create a new normal giving them more power.
