Political Economies, Resiliency and Markets, and the Catholic Church
Actionable Information:
Political Economies
On an institutional level, there is an opportunity to formalize right-wing populist media organizations that capitalize on the collapse of the traditional Republican establishment. John Fredericks has already started doing this. He established The Georgia Star this month, and other outlets in Virginia, Michigan, Minnesota, and Tennessee. As Fox News numbers continue to crater, who would have guessed that local legislative hearings across the country would be getting NFL viewer numbers?
This opportunity stretches beyond just media. The political bifurcation has created an alternative economy with demands for more or less the same products, but from different brands. One such entrepreneur is Mike Lindell. Mike is a genius, can count cards, and intends to run for Governor of Minnesota. In an interview, he revealed that the cornerstone of his marketing strategy is to never run an ad twice that doesn’t generate more revenue than it costs to run. His ads run continuously on RSBN, Newsmax, and America’s Voice Live.
Field Journalism
On an individual level, there is an opportunity for aspiring journalists and reporters to establish a personal brand within this movement through field journalism, the type that Andy Ngo and Tim Pool became famous for. Field journalism is where you physically show up to cover an event that people want to see. RSBN does this type of coverage fairly well on an institutional scale, but there is an opportunity for journalist personalities and influencers to take some of the market share. The product here isn’t to point out the obvious contradictions in the way that traditional media outlets do, but rather to reveal the positive aesthetics that emanate from these events and this movement. There is an under-accounted-for 'cool' factor here, and if you understand mimetic desire and the human propensity to mimic models, you understand that this is the real product to be capitalized on. The MSM won’t cover it, and there is a clear demand for this type of content.
Narrative Reconstruction:
Resiliency, Materialism, and Markets
I wrote a short piece about Resiliency, Materialism, and Markets this week here. The thesis is that the materialist framework in which we are accustomed to view the world, is a philosophy that is tailor-made for markets because the limitations of our measuring tools allow for an endless stream of data points that can be isolated, combined, and optimized for, ad infinitum. A product for each optimization. The application of materialism in markets does not leverage what is known about resilient, natural processes, but instead obscures what is known, in order to optimize for cherry-picked targets, often revealed in time to serve cynical interests.
Catholic Church
This week the Pope expressed his desire to ‘Build Back Better’, joining the chorus of the Biden campaign, Justin Trudeau, Boris Johnson, the UN, and corporate America. Since the Catholic Church receives most of its revenue from resettling refugees in the United States, it’s really no surprise that they have transitioned into a full blown globalist institution. The CCP and the Vatican reached a deal a few years ago that gave the CCP the power to directly appoint Catholic bishops inside China. It is worth noting that Catholic churches in China have Xi prominently displayed on the alter. This week, the Pope hosted popular NBA stars at the Vatican in an effort to bring awareness to global social justice issues. Most Catholics have no idea this is occurring, and are shocked when they find out. Like most other institutions, they capitalize on asymmetric information gaps.
Biden
As far as narrative reconstruction goes, watch this clip where Joe Biden literally says the quiet part out loud, and adjust your worldview accordingly.
