In America it seems there are several states which are acting like rogues meaning they support immigrants and refugees, more than they support legal citizens.  Now I'm not saying legal law abiding citizens are any better as humans than refugees or immigrants. I am saying this is what these rogue states are doing.  In the UK we can see something similar happening where people from foreign nations are flooding in, often who clearly do not like this nation or the people in it nor its culture, but not always.  The tendency seems to be to come to a well developed nation for a better life, the work and the benefits to a large extent.  Yes, clearly there is a significantly large undesirable element who want to be here for nefarious reasons and god only knows which other nation or gang is behind that. There is a good case to be made that it might be the democratically elected leadership of the nation, who have yet to ask the people if that is what they actually w...

May I propose what might be new idea to you? Let us call it 'obedience theory'. Study the articles here for a full diagnosis of obedience theory in full.  The theory is about 'obedience'. And when society is ruled by hierarchy, it is the foundation of how people decide on everything else. There may be other factors driving success. But these will be lesser derivatives of obedience. That is to say, obedience to the authority I choose - let's call it my tribe.  And being seen to conform to the story of that tribe comes first, before all else, especially abstract principles like morals, facts, saving the planet and truth etc. The wonder of obedience theory is that you do not have to act out your obedience, though that can help(protests, activism etc). The trick is to understand that you will quickly rise more easily and more quickly in the social hierarchy if you can signal your obedience better than the rest. It is all relative.  If you can reframe your mind to this,...

From Grok: https://x.com/i/grok/share/CHCq1rufBXgZRbwHbhVu4kwVU Tribal epistemology is a term that describes a way of determining what is true or believed that is heavily shaped by group (or "tribal") loyalty rather than by shared standards of evidence, logic, or correspondence to observable reality. The most widely cited definition comes from political writer David Roberts (in a 2017 Vox article about political polarization and Donald Trump), where he described it as:Information is evaluated based not on conformity to common standards of evidence or correspondence to a common understanding of the world, but on whether it supports the tribe’s values and goals and is vouchsafed by tribal leaders. In short: something counts as "true" (or at least worthy of belief) primarily because it helps our side, comes from our leaders, or affirms our group's identity—and inconvenient or disconfirming evidence tends to be dismissed, discredited, or simply ignored.K...

  This is why the main 4 uniparty's in the UK have abandoned it. This is why the US President is insisting on its wholesale adoption. It becomes nigh on impossible to steal an election if your identity is linked with your vote using a digital signature. Because using this everyday tech your signature is immutable. (cannot be reversed nor repudiated). Not even the state can tamper with a 256 bit hash quickly enough and at scale, to undermine an election * And with further simple digital tech, and without impeding your privacy at all, your vote can be proven to have taken place. (Zero Knowledge Proofs) The slave states of the world are not smart. They are slow. And why would a slave try hard at anything if no extra salary will be gained by it? Despite all this degeneracy these states have have finally recognised the truth in this allegation and the 'benefits' of control through obedience which come by abandoning Digital ID or Voter ID.  From primary evidence in the past 3 US ...
