If you are unfamiliar with the philosophical differences between John Locke and Thomas Hobbes, you need to watch this video. While American revolutionaries adopted Locke's notion, the Nazis embraced Hobbes' ideal. Under Trump, America is adopting the same philosophy as the Nazis.

Excellent primer. The guy in this video has helped me understand that this "golden age" of #Trumpism feels different and frightening and why it does. It's tearing up the old Lockean worldview we took for granted. But #Trumpism is no better than an old Hobbesian autocracy

Did anyone else not know about the “hold for 2X speed” until seeing this video? Lol thank you

Bill is right. Here is a chair. It is well-documented that the Nazis sat on chairs. They loved them. Who else loves chairs…right…Trump! This is how it starts.

Right, but the anarcho-capitalist side refuses both of them.

Thank you.

To America: You know nothing mister... It's all Nietzsche... Supermang...

You also need to understand that pure capitalism is what collapses the system - socialist philosophy is what created the modern state and its infrastructure base on which capitalism is built. It’s forgetting that fact has let Nazis take over. The US was built on socialism

Absolutely frakking true ☝️
