Questions:

Are you suggesting that Leli is operating under this organized structure as a intentional strategy?

It is only the issues (they attack on) that are rising organically, or the system itself?

If it is an intentional strategy, who are the organizers/leaders?

What is comparable on the right? What is the right’s strategy?

How do you interpret this in relation to the Peter Thiel article? I think of the right as the rational/logical arm of society. The left brings passion which can lead to evolutionary change. Both passion and reason are needed.

Is the LeLi storytelling (intentional or not) winning hearts and surpassing minds?

LeLi is system for political control. This entire thing is designed to capture the establishment.

Each party in this is acting by themselves but prodded by incentive structures that are rooted in an ideology. Many are trees (as you mentioned) unable to sense the forest but acting only in self interests along the pathways so designed to slant one way.

Thiel is describing the second level symptoms. Imagine a patient - he just feels a simple stomach ache, Doctor runs tests and finds 10 anomalies (like Thiel has found out). I am observing lifestyle anomalies and my hypothesis is that these can explain what Thiel has discovered and also the stomach ache.

The Right is more individualistic and hence not organised. Right will denounce other right actors who they do not agree with. The Right sometimes has blind adherence to principles, no matter that these principles do not deliver the desired outcomes. (These principles are not values where adherence is good, but rather norms mis-identified as principles). Some of these principles need to change (like government offering certain services, etc.)

In a sense the inter-play between left and right is a tug of war between society-first objectives and individual-first objectives. It is healthy so long as it is fair, if the balance is upset we end up with communism or crony capitalism.

However, the LeLi system is now too big and has effectively captured the establishment. It has taken them time to put the relevant actors in correct positions. The strands of uncritical-idealism can produce passions, whether they win hearts or not. They surely surpass minds.

Thank you.

Are you speaking of India specifically, or globally?

Is LeLi a formal organization?

Unfortunately this cabal is quite global. But LeLi is quite well knit but not a formal organisation.

Thanks.

I don’t know why I find this so intriguing. 🤔

Definitely merits an E-Book, don't hesitate please!

This is a killer system and needs to be challenged powerfully. And for that its structure and perniciousness needs to be fully understood.
