When faced with domestic/personal political problems, an easy method to sideline & slowly solve them, is to start or escalate #war.

It shifts the public conversation, changes the legal & political environment /interests, eases expanded military action at home, & creates opportunities to reward & align with certain factions (oligarchs, corporations, #military leaders).

Here are my thoughts and analysis on the subject in the shape of a table.

What do you think?

Took me a while to make this :)

Please share if you think this makes sense!

*Focusing on recent / ongoing conflicts!

I think what's interesting is Putin, Stalin, Hitler and Natanyahu all gained power through controlling access to higher level people.

Every last one of them started out as a lame glorified secretary before their final transformation.

    Gotta be detached from reality to think the following don't exist in USA:

    • martial law (eg. ICE)
    • security state expansion
    • changes to legal system
    • censorship
    • crackdowns on protests

    It's also very strange to act like USA is not involved in Ukraine, Gaza, Syria, Lebanon, etc.

    This meme gets 1/5 stars.

    Shouldn't Trump have crackdown on protests? He hates protesters, advocates "non lethal" actions against them, has killed several, and docs and intimidates others.

    Also a good case that Trump has effectively changed the legal system. The justice department is full of loyalists who work for him, not the USA.

    Saw a post few hours ago that apparently the feds are massively stocking up on ,,less lethal" chemical weapons... I guess that translates to tear gas etc. So the crackdown might be coming, maybe after he manipiulated the midterms and still lost.

    I was trying to relate this to the use of conflicts, while it may be true, - he was already doing this before the conflicts and could be doing this without them I think. Thank you for mentioning it though :)

    This does not even scratch the surface of what Trump has going. Not even close. In fact, even with a much shorter period in charge, he has surpassed the controversial actions of the two others, (probably) put together
