Is he a perfect embodiment of our movement? No. Does he unfairly criticize Trump at times in a very leftist manner? Yes and I hate it. Does he believe the election was stolen despite mountains of evidence? No and I hate that too.
But is he correct on issues the vast majority of the time? Yes. Is he slowly amassing a giant conservative entertainment media conglomerate to finally fight against the left wing media base? Yes. Is he redpilling people left and right while regularly shitting savagely on leftists? Hell yes.
I get that Shapiro isn’t the 100% America First media mogul we need. But he’s damn close and I feel like making him out as a “leftist ally” and “enemy” is a step too far.
Fascinating insights around Scott. Is Cialdinis book worth the time investment? I'm super selective about what I read now but open to more info on Cult Death persuasion/manipulation tactics. Relevant considering the 24!7 psy op attacks. Armouring up.
Cialdini's book is very good and worth reading, though it could use a rewrite with modern examples. Sort of a companion book to How to Win Friends and Influence People.
It brings a lot of subtle technique into the open for discussion.
