Socialists are verbal. Nationalists are visual. Capitalists are numerical. The leftist failure mode is to repeat a slogan like “mostly peaceful protests”, even when it doesn’t reflect observable reality. If they read it, it’s real to them. The rightist failure mode is to repost some video that “goes hard”, even when it doesn’t reflect observable reality. If they see it, it’s real to them. The capitalist has to deal with the world of hard numbers. The verbal and the visual are important, but ultimately secondary to the numerical.
