When Charisma squares off against Celebrity on an Equal Playing Field, Charisma wins Every Time! Celebrity's only advantage lies in the ability to Finance the Events and Media Environment (New Media: Ellison's Oracle/ or Thiel's Palantir) which bestow Celebrity and Connect Celebrities with their Public (Censorship thru Donor Financing, not Forbidding). TPUSA and Erika Kirk represent the "Celebrity" approach. Charlie Kirk was pure "Charisma".
The Linked Post (above) is entitled "What TDS Prevents UniParty Supporters from Seeing..." Why can't they see? The criterion for understanding Truth is "Will to Power" (Nietzsche). And they therefore have no "desire" to recognize the Truth. It doesn't "empower" them (unless they also understand that they can censor through financing instead of forbidding outright (through Law)
Nietzsche primarily develops the concept of will to power as the criterion for truth and value in his posthumously published notebooks, compiled as The Will to Power (specifically notes from the 1880s) and in Beyond Good and Evil. He argues that "truth" is not objective but a, perspectival tool used by the will to power to master reality.
Key, specific locations and contexts include:
The Will to Power (Notebooks/WP): In notes often cited as WP 688 and WP 1067, Nietzsche argues that the will to power is the fundamental drive, asserting that "This world is the will to power—and nothing besides!". In this context, truth is interpreted as a type of error that allows a particular species of life to survive and dominate, making the "truth" dependent on its power-enhancing value.Beyond Good and Evil (BGE), Section 13: Nietzsche challenges philosophers by asking why they desire truth rather than untruth, implying that the "will to truth" is actually a manifestation of the will to power.Thus Spoke Zarathustra: Nietzsche explicitly connects the concept to all life, stating, "Wherever I found a living thing, I found there the will to power" (Part 2, "Self-Overcoming").
Essentially, Nietzsche argues that what is "true" is simply what enhances a particular will to power.
