Authoritarianism versus libertarianism, localism versus globalism, traditio

Here is one example:

Should EU not use the summer/wintertime anymore (permanent wintertime). If you agree, some leftists, like the green party, but also rightist, like FvD say yes. Other leftist, like GroenLinks and right PVV say no... right....
That is, roughly speaking, my current perspective. People will adopt whatever political flag is convenient to get what they think they want.
There are layers below and around that which control what a person wants. Watching everything since 2016, it turns out it is stupendously easy to control what people want, it just takes an enormous amount of wealth and resources. If you can SURROUND a group of people with a unified narrative (there are some limits to this of course), over a long enough period of time people will start to mirror the narrative. Here is how this works:
* A part of our brain is DESIGNED to mirror the behaviour and emotions of members of our tribe. This is the mechanism that allows us to feel kinship, share sorrow, feel empathy. This is the mechanism that allows us to build tight tribe bonds which in turn allows us to survive.
* Statistically, all tribes have variability that can be described in defferent ways. Individuals have variability amongst each other. Groups like men and women share variability at the group level. What this means is that if you can flood enough of the environment with a unified narrative, all you need is 100 monkeys (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hundredth_monkey_effect) to spread the narrative. You just need enough trusted members of a group to mirror the narrative and it will spread to the rest of us through our brain mirroring mechanism automatically.
The reason that the value systems of the different dutch parties differ in ways that don't follow into simple political categorizations is because the people controlling the resources / narrative environment have arbitrary desires and goals. Or to say it another way, those countries where political parties do fall into simplified political labels have a narrative that only curently falls into those labels. The political groups simply mirror these values, the labels and values are entirely arbitrary.
Please note that, although the cooks and cranks are turning out to be right, narratives in our species have a self organizing spontanety. We have all been members of a group of people where one nutter starts a rumour and before you know it everyone actually beleives this bullshit and you are left scratching our head as to how that happened. Our mirroring mechanism allows for this spontaneous self organization of narrative and eventually beleif.
I now label peoples political flags based on, roughly speaking, the aliegences they make in order to get what they want, and then subgroupings of things that they want.
So far it has provided a tremendous amount of clarity.
