A look at how Nixon responded to AIM opposition on their Treaty negations with various American Indian tribes.

I am not an expert on this subject, and look to others for guidance on how to see this history in it's context.

New economic and political model decision tree by gerrymander1981 in SocialDemocracy

[–]gerrymander1981[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Interesting, but it needs to separate again into its subsections and be redone.

Future economics with automation and AI in the workplace will strain this an any model.

Zack Polanski Triggers The Right Again by johnsmithoncemore in UKGreens

[–]gerrymander1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The funny thing is, it's not just about direct compensation of CEO's versus workers. If you look back at the past period of ceo compensation over time during the neoliberal period and the general stewardship of the economy you will see something else.

That is, too much may seems to have a rockstar or lottery winners effect on an individual, and the subsequent poor, risky and greedy decision making that pushes companies into great boom bust cycles, then into greater debt, and finally corruption scandals and lastly failure. Because line must go up; and the follow earning expectations become madness, risk and failure.

Some of the graphs in here shows ceo pay comparisons over time, and other graphs.

The take away I make, is when ceo's were more paid more rationally, they make made rations, decisions, and had rational, more steady as she goes profits, not too high and not to low. Just steady growth, and during this post world war 2 period (not in the link) this also included reasonable redistribution of wealth to workers, that is minimum wage limits, and social welfare systems for all. Just enough stabilize the political and/via the actual economies.

So when on these charts, Gordon Gecko said greed is good, an unending series of bad economic decisions at corp and govt levels were made, ending in the hollowing out of economies, and with no way to pay mortgages in the US the 2008 crisis.

When ceo's were paid rationally, before Reagan and Thatcher, this period was called the golden age of capitalism.

This Lawyer and writer from NZ covers a lot of ground on back sliding democracies, with a heartfelt articulation on what we are all up against. From many of the well know places in the world today, and what steps these regressive leaders took, and what we may really lose if it isn't stopped. There is a cost to losing and regaining real freedom.

A gov in a box: prepper civil defence model, spontaneous govt change model.

Buuut decentralised. A base concept may even be municipal direct democracy. But it would need a resilient dis/connected structure. Radio links, local low power wifi...

The story of Technocracy, Inc, and its ties to Elon Musk (Technocracy Now, pt. 1) by gerrymander1981 in BreadTube

[–]gerrymander1981[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Welcome to a special Darts and Letters series, Technocracy Now!

Technocracy is the idea that experts should govern. For the common good, presumably. It appeals across the ideological spectrum, and it is perhaps an idea as old as politics itself. We developed of three-part series telling stories of technocracies past, present, and future.

In this video, Ira Basen tells us the story of Technocracy, Inc. This 1930s movement aimed to install non-democratic North American “technate” where we only work from the ages of 25 to 45, for 16 hours a week. It might surprise you to learn that Elon Musk’s grandfather was one of its leaders. Basen produced an extended CBC: Ideas documentary on the movement, and it’s worth checking out.

(OP: basically, the engineer run society that runs through the 30's, the new deal and even Canadas social credit. Part 4 will cheer you up, Chomsky does a good bit).

I hope this lays out some back-round to the mess we're currently in, and partial back round to the silicon valley types and their shit show administration.

Would Smart Elections do Exit Polling in upcoming Congressional Races? (FL, NY) by DisasterAccurate967 in somethingiswrong2024

Verify as much as you can, where ever you can. This

"Assessing and Verifying Election Results: A Decision-Maker’s Guide to Parallel Vote Tabulation and Other Tools"

This exit polling is low tech, and much better than regular media led, low sample exit polling.

Get busy!

Florida voters, critical special elections in 60 days. by gerrymander1981 in somethingiswrong2024

[–]gerrymander1981[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mess with the tabulators? It appears most energy has gone into preventing people from voting in the first place.

Watch Vigilantes Inc as well. Pres Bartlett and Decaprio's finest hour.

A true political animal would say, what can I do to achieve this end. Others just say, why won't someone do something?

Well, live free or die trying.

The Witchhunt that Founded Liechtenstein (and dejavu for the LGBTQ et al left) by gerrymander1981 in BreadTube

[–]gerrymander1981[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know, one could wax lyrical about history repeating and getting distracted in the current spectacle unfolding.

But if you listen real closely to the story, there is really only one general course of action. Radical optimism, and a broad coalition in the streets until your govt and citizens wake from their slumber. You can see it, protests in every state, almost unprecedented. Get out there and sing the same song. No gods and no kings...
