      Covfefe Anon Retweeted Evan

      Insider has a coalition with other insiders but doesn't have decisive organizational power This insider evokes "grassroots support" as support which has several effects which allow him to win the internal power struggle The action is then taken Details / examples to follow 1/xhttps://twitter.com/EvanPlatinum/status/1231816916005572608 …

      Evan @EvanPlatinum
      But lets take this reasoning seriously. If all power always originated with elites and moved down the hierarchical line, then why would they need to create the illusion of 'grassroots', movements? Why placate a base that by definition can't wield power? Why not just do things?

      Why do 'grassroots' movements provide support when aligned to insiders? Because of a shared ideology that regards certain types of support as natural, normal ways of deciding disputes. Every group needs dispute resolution processes to run any organizations. 2/x

      "Grassroots" support is the same as "scientific" support; each work the same way but in different contexts. Some things count as "authentic" grassroots - BLM; others are illegitimate - yellow vests, Charlottesville. Manipulating procedural outcomes https://twitter.com/i_contemplate_/status/1047679498009923584 … 3/x

      The most underrated and under-discussed phrase in Moldbug's corpus is 'Manipulating procedural outcomes.'

      Company X had to pull some ad or donate billions to a diversity initiative because of a "controversy" - that was "grassroots" pressure (insiders using outsiders as justification); company Y loses money rather than backing down - the pressure on them isn't "real" 4/x

      Insiders need a dispute resolution mechanism; this is unavoidable. In a business they're nominally supposed to care about the present value of the enterprise and this gets routed around; in government who the hell knows what they're even nominally supposed to be maximizing 5/x

          The outcome ends up that you have a Schelling point around progressivism and everyone advances it and advances himself by manipulating progressivism for self benefit (monetary or status-wise). Everyone operates on the same rules because in org fights you need teammates. 6/x
