Disagree, strongly.
They win because they're playing to basic human primate biology. Not because of talent, but because they're taking the easiest road. If the left could figure out a way to harness the same hardwiring they'd achieve similar success, but that's the trap, innit?
Easy to win when you're perfectly happy burning everything to the ground.
I don't disagree with you. Perhaps, I intended a different meaning here than what I was able to get across. The "fall in line assholes" bit is how they do it -- exerting authority. Then they add in a "crash" upon which the pieces are in place for perpetuating social control as people demand authority through the mechanisms of fear that they just so happen to own, control and profit from. Yet, the ability and the aplomb of the right is second to none in order to get this done. Of course, it does not work in all cases, but it does work on a level that can and will affect us all if we are taken to giving a shit about this existence for one and all. Namely, because it saddens and angers us that something so obvious can't be seen by others.
