There are 3 categories of game:
In Trump's mixture of zero-sum & negative-sum games ( mass-shooters are playing primarily negative-sum games: the greater the holocaust, the "bigger their win", but inter-mass-shooter-narcissism's significant, too ), Trump is still primarily zero-sum .. but that is changing..
When he finally gets fed-up with being frustrated by the "woke", & invokes the Insurrection Act, or martial-law, or whatever guillotine he takes to civilrights, then it'll be competitive-nihilism 1st, competitive-narcissism 2nd.
He's already made it illegal for states to regulate AI.
He's already tromped on renewables as hard as he can, while pushing coal & oil.
He's already got in-place a rampaging-of-the-population intended to trigger ANY reaction he can get that'll "justify" removing all civilrights ( the ICEing of the Democrat states within the US )
Once he's crossed that tipping-point, then .. it'll be an all-Americas-mass-shooting, demolishing all for sake of making absolutely certain that NOTHING is "great" after he's gone.
Why would gas-guzzlers be a "dead-end future" when the category-of-game they're playing DOESN'T HAVE ANY "future" in it?
When it's an endgame, with NO future, by intent?
See what's actually going on!
A kenjutsu guy pointed-out, years ago, that IF one is trained & conditioned to assume that one's opponent wants to live, so any cut directed their-way will be blocked..
but this time one's opponent doesn't care whether they die, only that YOU die..
THEN all one's instincts are wired for the wrong category-of-game: a game that one isn't in!
Then one dies.
Netanyahu's "Israel" is presuming that their "deterrent" is somehow self-inherent, when it's actually dependent on their neighbors valuing their-own lives more than they value annihilating Netanyahu's "Israel".
Once Netanyahu's "Israel"'s narcissism/machiavellianism/psychopathy/sadism ( DarkTetrad ) has eradicated enough deterrent from their-region, then why wouldn't Netanyahu's "Israel" get annihilated by suicide-troops?
Deterrent means deterring!
IF one's behavior removes deterring, then one has no deterrent, anymore!
Netanyahu, whether unconsciously or consciously, is playing the mass-shooter's game: competitive-nihilism.
So is Putin.
So is Trump, but with Trump, it's still narcissism-1st, nihilism-2nd.
That's changing.
When it becomes nihilism-1st, then all the big "owners" will be literally "saner" to join the regime-dictator in competitive-nihilism, if they value their remaining-life's quality: to do otherwise would make their remaining-life hell, obviously.
I'm not saying it is "right" or Right to push an evil's rule, or its ways, I'm saying it is humanly-sane: it is understandable, it is explainable, going against one's context has COSTS, etc.
For the oligarchs to push what the ruling-regime wants being-pushed, is, within-their-context, sane.
This is identifying that it isn't that they are the origin of betraying-our-world, rather, they're just navigating their-world in a contextually-sane way.
The problem isn't them, the problem is the whole-system of valuing DarkTriad, rewarding it, giving it all authority possible, segregating people by class-status, pushing the underpaying of parents ( manufacturing whole-population attachment-disorder, which helps create the narcissism that the far-right feeds-on ), & obscene overpaying of the wealthy..
that this is all an inevitable end-game of the diseased "values" our system embodies.
What Detroit's owners are doing is natural but they are symptom, not cause.
The cause is our corrupt "society", with its glorification of DarkTriad & its eradication of accountability from authority, its systemic segregation-of-wealth-from-the-bottom, its systemic rejection-of-responsibiliity, its systemic pushing-of-narcissism-growing-distractions, its protection of disinformation, its removal of actual Journalism, replacing it with "journalism", etc.
What they're doing is symptom, not cause, and it is honestly rational, within the "reality" of the Trump regime which will enforce that it is final ( there will be no regime going the other-way, afterwards, after Trump removes civilrights: it's too late ).
It is simply "when IN Rome, DO as Romans do".
Maybe ideology won't allow that humankind has responsibility, & will insist that it is THEM that are the problem, and not more-fundamental-problems..
but truth's got to be spoken by somebody, somewhere.
It's the same as the majority of East Germans being snitches in order to ingratiate themselves with the machiavellianness-institution ruling them: that, too, was showing/demonstrating human-nature, honestly & actually.
What it was showing wasn't nice, or good, but it was accurate.
Within that context, integrity was .. not viable, & humankind adapted, & became embodying of absence-of-integrity.
I think people aren't understanding that the genociding that the zionists are enforcing in Palestine is the same-nature as the genociding that ICE++ are going to be enforcing within the US, after the dictatorship tippingpoint.
But 100x as strongly.
It's the same nature, fundamentally.
& any business which wants to "get along" within what's coming .. has to adapt to becoming what the context wants.
( I'm saying this while knowing that humankind doesn't show any indication of being able to survive this-century: humankind looks, to me, like a drug-addict who's in the process of "blowing their brains out" with drugs, because the alternative, going dry, is intolerable.
& that at this point I ought have no hope, as it's only baseless delusion.
Humankind's devotion to ignorance, nonresponsibility, fighting-appearances-not-fundamentals, solving-the-wrong-problem, prohibiting-accountability, disallowing-responsibility, etc, is indellible.
& the consequence of that is .. species DarwinAward: extinguishment, later this century.
At this point I consider divine-intervention to be humankind's ONLY chance, and .. I'm not seeing any evidence that that's happening.
Humankind won't solve the right problems, with the right drive, in the right order, with all actually-required force.
& .. imagine some drunk fighting-you-off, as you try getting them off the train-tracks, before the oncoming-train splats them all over the sky..
at some point, you have to just accept that there's nothing you can do, step back, & witness their non-responsible self-obliteration, right?
Humankind's doing that, now..
& it's depressing-as-hell.
A whole world being thrown-away, for sake of habits, conventions, entrenched-beliefs, ideologies, prejudices, etc.
& the required-objectivity, the required-correct-reasoning, the required-worldview-accurizing ( all 3 are dimensions that differentiate Science/Empiricism from ideologies ) .. just aren't having roots-enough, in humankind. )
