I first came to The Burning Platform a few years ago as part of a routine that I have. I own a business that is international in nature and, as a result, watching social and political trends and understanding how they affect my business became an important part of simply getting up in the morning and planning my days, weeks and months. Political stability is a key component to moving goods through borders so in my mind if you are not paying attention to said social/political trends then you do so at your own peril.
Watching and understanding these trends has gone from an activity born of necessity to a sort of hobby of late and, when combined with an interest in human history and psychology, it eventually evolves into a desire to understand models of human interaction and an attempt to predict social and political trends.
So before I go any further I’d like to thank Yojimbo for introducing me to the Alt-Right – a movement which I would likely have glossed over had I not ended up here. The web is a big place and TBP is a sort of nexus for information about what is happening in the world sociopolitically. It is a good barometer of mood and provides the reader with a view into the undercurrents that eventually create huge social tsunami’s during times of flux and change such as Fourth Turnings.
