Rule 13: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.

This one has them short circuiting. Too many targets to focus on. Too many loose ends to tie up. They can't focus on anything. Good morning. Sunday morning.

I'd say 1984 is a must-read as well.

In that vein, Fahrenheit 451 and Brave New World as well.

It's very hit or miss on here. One can post something great, and nobody glances at it. Then a few minutes later, somebody posts something good or even not good, and it's stickied.

Your list is great. Unfortunately, in my opinion, some of the most important books regarding communism have never been translated into English. When I say this, I mainly think about the countless memoirs written by former communist political prisoners. I was born in Romania and moved to the US in my early twenties. I read probably more than 15 such memoirs, I even had the opportunity to meet a few survivors. Saying these books are chilling is understating them. It is such a disservice to humanity that these books don't get an international readership. And I bet other Eastern European countries have their own such books.

The Gulag Archipelago author, Alexandr Solzhenitsyn, described the "Pitesti Phenomenon" (one of the experiments done by communists on young people in the Romanian prisons) as the "most terrible act of barbarism in the contemporary world".

If you want a more bite-sized approach to learning about the madness of Soviet work camps, there's a collection of short stories called Kolyma Stories by Varlam Shalamov that is well-translated and quite moving.

She was trying (and failing) to be playfully coy. Oh my- we can't tell you our plan- let me change the subject.

So interesting that Trump single handedly stopped the BLM riots. If you think about it, before he started talking about Law and Order, and forcing Slow Biden to either accept his talking point, they were winning. They strong armed America, and every one, every site and news station had to cower or be called a racist. Trump took a stand, people followed his lead, and instead of being called anti-black, we were called pro peace. He's very good at changing the narrative and not allowing anyone to dictate his image.

They got freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it down, but they didn't agree on the first part, "pick the target", and picked too many.

They also didn't properly calculate the populace's beliefs because they were skewed by progressive social media. So when they tried to 'polarize it' around a point, so that 40% of people would fall on one side and 60% would fall on yours, they picked the centerpoint wrong and we got the 60% while they got the 40.

They should have focused on corona and the foodlines. They then jump on then Ahmaud Arbery case but then it lost steam so they went back to corona. Then Floyd, they half wanted to keep talking about corona, half wanted to push blm. Then the riot happen and they wanted to push that too. Commies want to keep people in fear, American don't take threats kindly.
