What makes populists so popular?

 

 What makes populists so popular?



If we are thinking the politics there is always the possibility. That the politician will start to follow some very noisy. But a small marginal group. The small marginal groups are many times boosting their agenda with weapons. And that is the reason why I should put the image of R-4 carbine at the top of this text. Guns are the things that guarantee publicity. And those things also guarantee authority for the people who carry them. But in this case, I will not put the image of the weapon in that place. 

The reason for that is he tells people what they want to hear. Same way as other populists he has an explanation for everything. The reason for that thing is the "political elitists". That imaginational group is denying people to think what they want. And the thing that makes Trump somehow terrible is that he plays the same game with marginal groups. The thing that makes marginal groups frightening is that they are boosting their agenda and opinions with weapons. 

And those weapons are, of course, in the main role of that kind of people demonstrations. The reason why regular people want to "respect" Trump. Is that he uses a very interesting way to act.  The official part of the supporters of Trump is using very controlled language. But the people who are not the "official part" use death threats people who are "on their way". Of course, those threats are published in newspapers. And of course, Trump has nothing to do with anger. That his supporters feel. 

The people who are working in the field are in a great role. If somebody shoots them that thing rises martyrs in the hands of Trumpists. There is, of course, forgotten that some of those "demonstrators" who are angry, because their man did not get in White House because that man got too few votes carried guns.

The description of the disinformation is that is misinformation that somebody delivers on purpose. The modern electronic networks guarantee that also disinformation is spreading very fast. There are four things about disinformation. 

1) We should afraid of disinformation


2) And also deliverers of disinformation can claim that real, confirmed information is disinformation. 


3) Everybody can deliver disinformation


4) Making sure that something is disinformation can be harder than people ever imagine.

Riots are stressful situations. And those situations make weapons more dangerous than they normally are. 


The case of Kyle Rittenhouse is a good example of how weapons are used as a threat. 18 years old boy shoots two demonstrators by using an automatic rifle. And the court released him. Rittenhouse claimed that those victims threat him. The thing is that if Rittenhouse's victims were black. 

That thing could cause racial demonstrations or even riots. Riots are stressful situations. And Kyle Rittenhouse is a young man without any experience and training to face any kind of violence. The gun in the hands of that kind of man in a stressful situation is always dangerous. 

But Rittenhouse shot white men. The situation was a riot that began in the case that police shot a black man who resisted arresting. Both black and white politicians want sometimes benefit from the situations where a white cop shoots a black person. 

Or the thing is that in the modern US politics is seen the dangerous polarization. There is enough for people who want to make politics with those things. The white cop shoots a black man. And that is the reason for the riot. The cops are racists, and then that thing causes the counter riots. In every riot is people who want just steal property. 


There could be professional criminals who provocate riots for causing disorders. Those people are breaking windows and stealing property by using that kind of riot as a mask. 


The stories of purpose provocation in the cases of riots or "Agent provocateurs" might begin from the professional criminals who provocate riots for causing disorder. Then those people will kick windows of the shops in, and steal things that they want. There are also stories that the members of the Ku Klux Klan are taken apart in some national rights demonstrations for provocating riots. But the coordination of that kind of action is not proven. 

That black man was of course, unarmed. That is the truth that is told in the media. Until somebody thought that there was a gun. That thing can explode the situation. 

The fact is that the attitude of policemen might be so-called "overloaded". When the media and superiorities are telling stories about the high crime records, crack houses, and homes full of weapons in those areas. 

That thing causes that the police is seeing those areas as more dangerous than normal people. And then they are "seeing weapons" more often than normal people. 


That thing causes a dangerous situation and if somebody yells "gun" that means law enforcement might feel that the other people are in danger. And then they open fire. There is a possibility that if the arrested person has a gun. And that is drop to somewhere some other person like a drug dealer or drug user will simply pick that gun from the streets.

The thing is that if there are people around with assault weapons "protecting their property" causes stress to cops who don't know why those people are surrounding them. Riots are always a stressful situation and the possibility that there is a gun in the pockets of rioters causes stress to law enforcement. But when rioters are armed with assault weapons. The stress is very high. There is needed only a small reason And the entire situation turns to the massacre. 

They cannot know are those people in the same gang as the person they try to arrest. Or when the attitudes of the cops are fully loaded to face violence when trainers are telling about shootings and media is full of mass shootings that thing can cause the situation that some cop will open fire. The thing that makes cops more willing to use guns is the personal threat. If there is some threat calls to the telephones of the cops can cause that the cop to "see guns" more often than usual. 


The death threats are causing violence. 


Another thing that the people who are playing the "non-official" line of the supporters of Trump are telling about the threats and other things like post packages full of shit to newspapers. The message of those people is simple.  "If you are against us, you will get lots of shit in your life". This means that people who are against Trump should be quiet. 

The thing is that publicity about things like death threats is the thing that is used for pressurizing people to be quiet about things like weaponized right-wing nationalists whose mission in this kind of theater is to bring force for people who believe populists. And the thing that populists are offering is "strong leadership" and "great nation". 

The thing that is making those things very dramatic and also addictive. Is that those people are offering something concrete for their followers. That thing is the assault weapon with great respect. The weapons are carried in the demonstrations against the police. And that thing makes those situations very stressful.

The LK-99 could be a fundamental advance even if it cannot reach superconductivity in 400K.

The next step in superconducting research is that LK-99 was not superconducting at room temperature. Or was it? The thing is that there is needed more research about that material. And even if it couldn't reach superconductivity in 400K that doesn't mean that material is not fundamental. And if LK-99 can maintain its superconductivity in 400K that means a fundamental breakthrough in superconducting technology.  The LK-99 can be hype or it can be the real thing. The thing is, anyway, that high-voltage cables and our electric networks are not turning superconducting before next summer. But if we can change the electric network to superconducting by using some reasonable material. That thing can be the next step in the environment. Superconductors decrease the need to produce electricity. But today cooling systems that need lots of energy are the thing that turn superconductors that need low temperatures non-practical for everyday use.  When the project begins there is lots of ent

Black holes, the speed of light, and gravitational background are things that are connecting the universe.

 Black holes, the speed of light, and gravitational background are things that are connecting the universe.  Black holes and gravitational waves: is black hole's singularity at so high energy level that energy travels in one direction in the form of a gravitational wave.  We normally say that black holes do not send radiation. And we are wrong. Black holes send gravitational waves. Gravitational waves are wave movement or radiation. And that means the black holes are bright gravitational objects.  If we can use water to illustrate the gravitational interaction we can say that gravitational waves push the surface tension out from the gravitational center. Then the other quantum fields push particles or objects into a black hole. The gravitational waves push energy out from the objects. And then the energy or quantum fields behind that object push them into the gravitational center.  The elementary particles are quantum fields or whisk-looking structures. If the gravitational wave is

The CEO of Open AI, Sam Altman said that AI development requires a similar organization as IAEA.

We know that there are many risks in AI development. And there must be something that puts people realize that these kinds of things are not jokes. The problem is how to take control of the AI development. If we think about international contracts regarding AI development. We must realize that there is a possibility that the contract that should limit AI development turns into another version of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. That treaty didn't ever deny the escalation of nuclear weapons. And there is a big possibility that the AI-limitation contracts follow the route of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.  The biggest problem with AI development is the new platforms that can run every complicated and effective code. That means the quantum computer-based neural networks can turn themselves more intelligent than humans. The AI has the ultimate ability to learn new things. And if it runs on the quantum-hybrid system that switches its state between binary and quantum states,
