Topic: Taming Of The Shrew

The current political struggle is defined as a fight against "corporate feudalism" rather than a simple left-right divide. Solomon notes that similar algorithmic tactics were used to cheat Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primaries. The media's gaslighting is compared to Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew," where the audience is forced to accept a false reality, such as the claim that libertarians are potential terrorists.

The judicial system's refusal to hear election cases based on a "lack of standing" is described as an unsettling assault on reality. The media's portrayal of the January 6th Capitol event as an "insurrection" while calling violent summer riots "peaceful" is cited as evidence of mass gaslighting. Solomon concludes that the public is being forced to accept a narrative that contradicts their own observations to avoid professional and social ruin.
