Projection long predates these clowns. The republican party, and the oligarchs and their companies, projected all of their own faults onto their opponents and critics long before any of the current nonsense.

As long as the population trusts these ivy league suits, on tv, on the radio, in academia, that are in league with those monied interests, the perpetrators can accuse others of what they are doing to some effect. It's as simple as that.

People trust the wrong people, and manipulators learned how to play those people. For the oligarchs and their companies, they've went to great expense and cooperated for 50 years to create this alternate reality, and to war against reality itself, to further their business interests. In doing so they created a monster that will further escape their control and destroy them one way and or another, along with the US republic, freedom, our way of life, the value of the dollar, etc. But that's another story.

These current leaders just co-opted, seized control of the machine built by big money working together to further their interests by removing reality from our nation.

so hot right now...

Thiel is worse simply as he's more powerful and can get more done. This guy's machinations brought the current president to power, silicon valley never would've surrendered to the party enough for them to win without thiel and his help, which is much much more involved than we know.

Then we must consider, doge, the fake non congressionally made illegal agency, that hired non senate approved leaders, was staffed by young men recruited from Thiel/Yarvin/et al's drug fueled parties, and groomed them, to access and export all government agency data to their (and other sources as they secretly agreed,) secret data banks.

That information in the hands of these people, in combination with what they already have, and their political connections, is far more dangerous than one might realize. It is dangerous in ways not apparent. Information is power and they had too much before.

Ellison has nothing like that going on to that degree. He's a tool, a piece of shit, but he's no Dr. Evil as Thiel is.

Agreed.
