    But of course many much smarter people figured it all out ages ago already. What ‘left’ solid folks fail at is they don’t immediately understand that empathy and good plan isn’t enough but you need marketing.

    In their honesty they often fail to see the appeal of the shallow and the allure of the superficial. All the skills alt right excels at.

    They do not easily see or aren’t willing to, that you often need to trick or even lie or manipulate people to be in the position to do good things and/or to do them effectively on a big scale.

      Yeah I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how the left is so aware of the fact that we’re correct we sometimes forget to actually sell it. We’re a plain bottle of salicylic acid on the shelf next to a full display of the latest and greatest 100% genuine snake oil
