    Understand, that Trump’s NOT playing the Zero-Sum Game: he’s playing the Negative-Sum Game, as mass-shooters are, too…

    He isn’t working towards future-generations’ victory, rather, he’s working to enforce that there IS NO US of A for anybody to be a citizen-of, after he’s finished with it: he will go down in history as its last ruler…

    Same as mass-shooters want glory/infamy, not long-life…

    ( & “journalism”'s stringing-along the false-framing that it’s really otherwise, is just helping increase our body-count at the end of this decade, in treason against true Journalism’s spirit )


    The 5 culture-levels ( levels, not “stages”, as stages are irreversable, like larval-caterpiller, but adult-giraffe, after their metamorphosis, you know? ), that are anchored on the 3 categories of Game, are:

    5: Positive-Sum Game, aka Win-Win Alliance: “Living is self-inherently AWESOME!!”

    4: mixed: “WE are great, THEY are not.”

    3: Zero-Sum Game, aka competitive-narcissism, which money-people presume that all players are playing: “I am great, others are not.”

    2: mixed, subject-to-narcissism’s-rule: “MY life sucks.”

    1: Negative-Sum Game, mass-shooters, competitive-nihilism: “LIFE, ITSELF sucks, let’s butcher it for importance/glory.”

    You can watch the simplified-condensed version here: https://www.ted.com/talks/david_logan_tribal_leadership & if you find that understanding the 5 cultures is important to you, because you want to decide which of the cultures you live-in, through the rest of your life, then I beg you to invest in understanding everything in their book, “Tribal Leadership” by Logan, King, & Fischer-Wright.

    They didn’t realize that the 5 culture-levels all hang on the 3 categories of game, I did, but with that key, it’s even more important to be understanding this, as the US of A is now manufacturing a mass-enforced-conversion of people down to culture-level-2 & culture-level-1 ( homeless oft becomes culture-level-1 within 3 months, and I say that having experienced years of it: it DESTROYS you, inside ).

    Immunize your life against that particular erosion-of-your-life, now, while you’ve still got good leverage, because they’re working to enforce that we lose all our leverage, ASAP…

    _ /\ _

    EDIT: to make it explicit, what I’m saying…

    IF you don’t understand which of the 3 categories-of-Game a player is playing, THEN you aren’t competent in understanding what their strategy is!!

    ONCE you understand that the accelerationists, & the far-right, are not playing for long-rule, they are playing for power-while-destroying-everyone-else’s-life, THEN you can understand what is, vs what isn’t, Strategy, from their perspective, see?

    Should have made that obvious, instead of only implying it, as it was sufficiently-obvious in my head, but … you aren’t me, & be happy about that, too.

    While the MAGA world sees “4-D chess,” other countries see checkers against an opponent who keeps eating the pieces.

    Trump is pushing the whole world into Chinas hands (willingly and unwillingly). He has been the single most destructive force for US soft power since 1776.

    There is nothing good for the American people. The only reason he’s doing it is to push global corruption.

    I mean Brasil will still get orders from the U.S., but it just tells the country to not depend on trade with the U.S. in the future because U.S. companies may not be able to afford to buy your products.

    Edit: you guys know this is the entire point of Tarrifs right? To make it so your companies find other countries products are to expensive… So you find a way to make them cheaper in country. Just in this case they won’t find them cheaper… So it will manipulate the amount sold from Brasil… and hurt their economy unless they make trade deals elsewhere to sell any potential losses
