Posted by Tom Pfotzer. Subject: bottom-up political and economic evolution
Lifted from last thread, post by Snake. Reference: snake | May 10 2026 14:23 utc | 183
Snake said:
nothing is going to change until the bottom up controls what is now the top down.. Bottom up places human rights, human dignity and human progress before all other concerns, while top down places profits, control, ownership and monopoly power before all other concerns.. What concerns me, is few people are planning on making that transformation happen? They are not even talking about it?
Snake: you’re right, nothing will change until the bottom gets its act together. Here’s how I segment (marketing-speak for “divide on behavioral lines” ) the “bottom”:
a. Bottom is busy making ends meet. Until their situation changes (more leisure time, awareness, propensity to act on awareness, or pain level) they aren’t going to show up. That’s about 50 percent of the “bottom”
b. another 30 pct of the bottom is culturally in a rut – selfish, immediate gratification, no sense of common interest with others. It’ll take decades to haul them out of that rut, so they are also safely ignored for now
c. For those bottom people, or maybe I should call them the “Many” – for the many that do have spare time, resources, and are aware, and have a propensity to act … I estimate that’s about 10-20 percent of the many – that’s where the potential for change lies.
Let me label section C above as the “ready, willing and ables” or RWA. They’re (mostly) not _really_ RWA, but they’re proximal. What will it take to get them to truly RWA?
a. Better information. More sources, more reading, more time allocated to climbing the learning curve
b. Better networks. They need more interaction with the other RWAs that are ahead of them
c. Better teaching tools, for ex. some white papers on “history of Ukraine, and how the war actually happened”. You remember the one B did a while back? Pieces like that, a few pages each, on topical items, like “Does the US really have a republic?” or “Who decides who the US’ enemies are, and why?”.
d. comm platforms. I think everyone agrees that the communications platforms available to the RWAs are inadequate. We need a comm platform that does items A, B, and C above
That will help the Many get to situational awareness on the political dimension, and help people ID what their interests really are. I think “interests” is pretty fuzzy right now.
The next, probably most significant aspect of activating the Many is economic. The Many is under rapidly increasing economic pressure, and most don’t have a repertoire of responses, nor the knowledge, relationships, and resources to execute the short-term evasive maneuvers – e.g. dodging the immediately-arriving econ bullets – and then strategic planning and execution necessary to outfit their household for longer-term economic prosperity.
That last para is what I spend my free time on; I’m a tools-builder guy, and I build tools that help RWAs invent new products, and build businesses that produce and sell products (newly invented ones, or oldies-but-goodies). My thesis is that until the Many knows how to do the stuff that the Few learned to do, the Many are going to stay disadvantaged.
Most of the really well-to-do Fews built a business a while back (maybe even a generation or two back), made some money, diversified into other businesses (bought them outright, or bought stock) and have been stackin’ and accumulatin’ ever since.
Turns out that product development and business development (spinning up a new business) can be learned. It’s a teachable set of skills. It’s also possible to teach people how to play well in teams.
So there are ways to get at the systemic problems, like wealth concentration, and isolation, and fragmentation of communities, and lack of political cohesion via a collection of tools that people can gradually learn to use, that end up changing their life quite a bit. And it doesn’t necessarily require any heroics; gradualism and incrementalism and persistence work just fine.
You asked “Is anyone doing anything about the fact that the Many are stuck?”. I am, and now you know, generally, how I am approaching the problem. Here at MoA we address the theoretical aspects of political economy (plus war porn). My work is at the mechanical, physical level: stuff that brings home the bacon, builds relationships including and especially economic transaction relationships.
A lot of new products and businesses are going to be needed in the near future, Snake. Time to get good at it.

Sorry this is going to be long and may upset some barflies. Re : Posted by: James C | May 10 2026 22:23 utc | 40
regarding the linked in b’s collection.
https://www.mtracey.net/p/meet-the-jane-doe-caught-fabricating
I’m going posit:
Salmond v Epstein.
Compare.
“Judge Clarke quickly shot down Kristy’s foolish request, correctly noting “the Court does not have the power to prevent publication of Ms. Doe’s name by a nonparty to this suit who gained her name from a source not covered by the protective order.” To which I say: hear, hear!!! Isn’t the First Amendment grand? Kristy Makuta, Kristy Makuta, Kristy Makuta.”
Ok caped crusader, Tracey- now do the same for the fabricators and liars in the failed attempt at besmirching and imprisoning Alex Salmond in Scotland a few years ago!
Those conspirators were proved to be perjurors by a JURY!
Yet not a single one of the lying bints or the conspiracists has been named or arrested never mind gone to court.
If Tracey is that invested in debunking ‘Epsteins’ fake victims; shouldn’t he at least do the same for other such ‘proven’ fake cases?
Salmond is now dead – heart attack.
No doubt the years of stress he suffered made his health worse. As the Crown deepstate and it’s wormtongue SNP ‘Scot’s’ aimed to derail independent Scotland with its own independent bank and laws.
Still does.
When it comes to covering up actual child abuse the fake victim who goes to court and takes the limelight away from hundreds who are disappeared or bought off with NDA’s – this is not the first time.
It’s standard operating procedure to subvert the legal rights and remedies of the real victims. Mostly when they were children.
Anyone supporting that, is obviously providing the smoke and mirrors to perpetrate that fraud upon the public.
So I am making this challenge to Tracey, put your money where your mouth is with the Scottish ‘jigsaw wimmin’.
They also hide their conspiracy behind ‘guaranteed’ anonymity. Why should they get away with proven lies?
“But perhaps the most incredible thing about the whole crazy scam, which perhaps should be most emphasized above all else, is that Kristy and her Wigdor enablers would’ve essentially gotten away with it if they hadn’t gotten so cocky. “
Writes the cocksure Tracey.
Isn’t the whole point of such a bare faced lie to divert attention from the real victims?
So NOT ‘getting away with it’ – ‘if it weren’t for you pesky kids scoobydoobydoo’ was the entire point!
“we now know for certain that literal fabrications were being approved willy-nilly. “
Howls scooby Tracey pointing at the villainy
Of course they were. That is the whole point of building and installing the ‘bad apples’ that spoil the whole barrel of genuine victims.
If you deny that possibility but just focus on the fake bad apples – aren’t you doing the the dirty ground work,planned out by the JPMorgans, Judges and Lawyers on behalf of their whole Epstein Class?
“core to the “Epstein” mythos is an assemblage of severely disturbed and mentally ill women, whose grandiloquent ideations were egged on by unscrupulous lawyers (and journalists) — always with an eye on the monetary prize.”
The prize isn’t Money – it is the conjurers trick of magic that can’t possibly be real! So it shouldn’t be believed as the magic it purports to be!
Isn’t this t in fact aiding and abetting a mass miscarriage of justice?
“But that larger structural problem is almost immaterial here, because the unique circumstances of this situation are that “Jane Doe” has now been judicially ruled to have perpetrated a fraud on the Court, and therefore the public. She has been sanctioned accordingly by Judge Jessica Clarke. In no conceivable world could her continued anonymization be justified, even if you’re the most flamboyant advocate of “victims.” “
I agree whole heartedly; that should be the case anywhere in the worlds judiciary when such a conspiracy, calumny and perjury is evident.
So I say again to the redoubtable journo – what’s good for the goose should be good for the gander.
Name the alphabet women of the Crown state – if you really are a disinterested social justice warrior and care – I dare him.
Tracey finished that long piece with:
“the disclosure requirements of the “Epstein Files Transparency Act.” So three cheers for the transparency, I guess, even though it’s probably not quite the kind of “transparency” that survivors and politicians had been sloganeering for. Oh well!”
Which is as clear as he can be, that HE BELIEVES there are ‘survivors’!
He believes there are REAL victims of the Epstein Classes.
