A recent comment I put up on youtube....
Hello Ring of Fire,
Thankyou for your latest comments Donald Trump.
The most basic point about Trump and Truth Social, the imitation of facebook that he owns, is that he reduces politics and policy to something akin to the hucksterism of World Wrestling Federation, where only wrestling exists. The point for the shareholders of WWF is create a perfect vacuum.
There is nothing outside of it that it could incorporate, as a sub-part part of it's values. Nor can there be, otherwise as an entertainment it would instantly vanish for said content to have no content that was not self promotion.
In WWF the main point is to hide in plain sight how much the 'wrestling' is a well rehearsed 'Ballet with violence' as Jesse 'The Body' Ventura once memorably described it on BBC World Service. WWF give the wrestling/ballet the imitation of life, a plot and some continuity, a spurious sense of purpose, via incoherent and over promoted fake feuds that reduce the airtime, short as it has to be, of the wrestling bouts.
That the self promotion of the wrestling network is the point of the wrestling naturally empties it of all value outside of it. That style of promotion makes it perfect for mental-age-five grifters, like Donald Trump, who revel in the circularity where they see their endless self promotion as the point of their wealth, and their wealth is a means of self promotion, to further wealth....
