January 25, 2023 Corrupters use slogans to shape their decisions, because their realities are nonfunctional for evaluation purposes. One of their slogans (which they tend not to divulge, but which Trump puts on billboards) is, they are what they associate with. That's why conservatives fight a war against the lower classes. They don't want powerless nobodies reshaping themselves as powerless nobodies. In case the absurdity is not self-evident, normal persons are worth whatever they are worth. That means they create their worth through their activities. But not corrupters; their activities are not supposed to reflect their destructiveness. So in rationalizing their corruptions, they tell themselves that their environment determines their worth. Corrupters convince themselves, and no one else, through their rationalizations. In other words, they construct rationalizations to take care of the truth about their corruptness. Since the rationalizations are designed to take care of that problem, corrupters tell themselves that the rationalizations are truths and then attempt to live by the result as slogans. So corrupters have themselves convinced that their environment determines their worth and translate that assumption into the slogan that says, they are what they associate with. Of course, they pick up the slogan from other like-minded persons and find that it takes care of a lot of problems in recalibrating their worth. A large group of like-minded persons make corrupters feel secure in their rationalized absurdities. Wherever there is power there must be powerless victims, or there would be no difference between those with power and those without. So power mongers are always opposed to the persons who they dominate. They don't want to be shaped by their victims. Trump surrounds himself with gold paint assuming it makes him worth gold. Since he considers himself to be the most important person in existence, he doesn't want to come into contact with losers and be worth nothing. It's so important for corrupters to be winners that they must avoid becoming losers by coming into contact with losers. There is no way to disconnect from losers totally enough for corrupters, so they fight a war against losers, which includes the lower classes and all vulnerable persons. Strangely, corrupters assume rational persons are losers. Reagan said, if you have to explain, you are already a loser. That means he assumes everyone is trying to be a winner and rationality (the process of explaining) is for losers.
