You've been Framed [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

The Art of Framing was polished up and rolled out like a German Blitzkrieg — well over decades ago.

Republican communications strategist Frank Luntz wrote: “communication is functional, the people are the true end, language is just a tool to reach and teach them”.

Now — Look at the # click links at the top of this page.

What do you see.

I see a world that is directing itself on the framing that frank Luntz built and DJT dominates with.

New Frames that people are looking for

FUN — LOVE — COMMUNITY — SALVATION —

No Spend Fridays — make them Fun and full of Love and without technology.

The GOP has invested very very very very heavily in AI.

This plan requires a tech over reach. Doge is setting the playing field for AI control of a system taking orders from an Elite leadership.

So:

If a tree falls and no one is there to perceive it — 1. Did it fall 2. Was there a forest.

If you do not engage in a tech heavy world — can you be controlled?

Things we can easily do to take momentum and change the framing.

1. Start using cash and slowly put aside cash, especially for local purchases with local vendors and services.

2. Make opportunities where your cell phone does not go with you

3. Make up slang with your social groups that describe political and social behavior.

4. Seek out and broadcast groups and individuals who are living and doing daily living without politics and creating the world you want to see.

5. Stop complaint driven analysis — stop living in the frames that Fascist create.

6. Make and use terms that come out of a framing you have created.

7. Make it easy for others to take your ideas, you are less important if you gain popularity — more important if you can help others become leaders. Give away the good stuff — seek no reward seek now financial fulfillment — learn to love the doing — find the reward in the doing

8. DO NOT BE IMPORTANT — Be real and full of flaw and full of love — you are not alone

There is no more doomerism — we are here.

Doomerism in 2025 and doom scrolling and doom porn is the # line at KOS.

Stop serving up freshly brewed “ be afraid of _” “I’m scared that ___ will do _”

best to make lemonade.

Take a listen to pop music — the theme of wanting love and comfort in the apocalypse is very prevalent. Anyone under 30 sees the world as dying, or knows that this is the most logical outcome that they will witness.

Today is a good day to die.

Hokahe' – A Good Day to Die. For the Lakota, Hokahe' was a rallying cry for warriors preparing for battle. “It is a good day to die” is the literal translation, but in a broader society, it means I am not afraid.

I am not afraid to Love

I am not afraid to share

I am not afraid to give of myself for the reward that IS giving — not a result from it. the act is the reward.

I am not afraid to laugh

I am not afraid of death, violence, and fascists.

In my darkest moments i am not alone — i am love.

P.S.

Lest anyone think these ideas are not out there being expressed by others:
