Isn’t it ironic that the US government would put out a Bat coin for 2020, in the mitts of this whole world BS. That’s a batshit way of rubbing it in.

The fisherman said, "Your Majesty, you should return to the palace! In just a short time I expect a huge rain storm."

The king replied: "I hold the palace meteorologist in high regard. He is an educated and experienced professional. Besides, I pay him very high wages. He gave me a very different forecast. I trust him."

So the king continued on his way. However, in a short time a torrential rain fell from the sky. The King and Queen were totally soaked.

Furious, the king returned to the palace and gave the order to fire the meteorologist. Then he summoned the fisherman and offered him the prestigious position of royal forecaster.

The fisherman said, "Your Majesty, I do not know anything about forecasting. I obtain my information from my donkey. If I see my donkey's ears drooping, it means with certainty that it will rain."

So the king hired the donkey.

And thus began the practice of hiring dumb asses to work in influential positions of government.

The same king called in his Admiral of the Fleet and asked for an update.

“Sire, we roamed the seas to the north and destroyed all the enemy ships we encountered.

We then roamed the seas to the east and destroyed all the enemy ships we encountered.

We then roamed the seas to the south and destroyed all the enemy ships we encountered.

Finally, we roamed the seas to the west and destroyed all the enemy ships we encountered.”

The king interjected, “But we don’t have any enemies to the west.”

The admiral replied, “Ummm, we do now!”

Some of the concepts and 'arguments' contradict themselves. For example, the notion that totalitarian 'leaders' can 'isolate' individuals or a population is these days virtually impossible.
And the results can be inconsistent.
In Hong Kong, the PRC's brutal repression is making ordinary people afraid to protest.
In Myanmar, the military dictatorship's brutality is having the opposite effect, pushing people to fight back.
So the step by step road to totalitariansism is not a universal one....
But otherwise there's lots of good stuff there.
