How is it that the weirdest dudes keep ending up with so much power and influence. Like, this is just bigoted shit obviously, but it’s weird bigoted shit. What is it about people that makes them look at a weirdo freak (derogatory) like this and think “this is a man I need to have direct the entirety of my belief system going forward”?
Useful idiots. There needs to be somebody who stands in front of the crowd and takes the blame. That person must be weird enough that people don’t keep following once the support is removed.
Success is awarded to the confident. You can be an absolute weird idiot and still, in the right circumstances, get massive success just because people assume there’s a reason you seem so confident, and who are they to second guess that confidence?
I think a part of it is you have to be weird to want to chase power. Normal people aren’t thinking 24/7 about how they can leap frog their way into power
The other part is that normal people as party of a well functioning society need to actively maintain systems that keep fuckwits from accumulation to much power, and we haven’t been doing that.

Social media has accelerated this. No one would know who this guy was in the 90s, for example.
I have zero idea who he is. Or Thiel for that matter …
Well, they are actively trying to enslave and kill you, so maybe learn
Look it up. By now it’s borderline neglect to not know about them.

That’s literally the only reason Trump is where he is. He’s not actually good at anything.
Confidence is often mistaken for competence. I’d like to believe that’s why “con(fidence) men” are ever successful.

Then they decide to get makeovers or permanent eyeliner like that’s supposed to make up for all the other weird shit?
Yeah, why can’t they just be a weirdo freak (celebratory) like the rest of us anarchists?
