The world has changed a lot in the past few weeks, through the bizarre events unfolding in America, culminating on the 28th of February, when Zelensky was hosted in the Oval Office, only to be yelled at and berated by the President and Vice President, and also openly mocked for not wearing a suit by Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend, who was also there for some reason.

在過去的幾周裡，通過美國發生的離奇事件，世界發生了很大的變化。2 月 28 日，澤倫斯基在橢圓形辦公室受到招待，但卻遭到總統和副總統的謾罵和斥責，還因為沒有穿西裝而被瑪喬麗-泰勒-格林的男友公開嘲笑，而他也因某種原因出現在那裡。

My second question for President Zelensky...

我想問澤倫斯基總統的第二個問題...

You're the highest level in this country's office, and you refuse to wear a suit.

你是這個國家最高級別的官員，卻拒絕穿西裝。

A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the...

This spectacle was as amusing as it was horrifying.

The US President and Vice President, supposedly the leaders of the free, democratic world, in control of the most powerful military force on the planet, and the largest economy, yelling and bickering at the leader of a nation, under attack by Russia, publicly, in front of cameras, in the Oval Office.

美國總統和副總統，本應是自由、民主世界的領袖，掌控著地球上最強大的軍事力量和最大的經濟體，卻在橢圓形辦公室裡，當著攝影機的鏡頭，公開對受到俄羅斯攻擊的一個國家的領導人大喊大叫，爭吵不休。

Many people are attempting to analyze this situation, rationalize it.

許多人試圖分析這種情況，使之合理化。

What kind of backwards 4D chess move was this from the Trump administration?

這是特朗普政府走出的怎樣一招倒退的四維棋？

In my opinion, these attempts at analysis are fine, but I think I have an easier method of making sense of the situation.

在我看來，這些分析嘗試都不錯，但我認為我有一個更容易理解的方法。

Now please keep in mind these are only my preliminary thoughts, and I didn't have the time yet to flesh them out properly.

請記住，這些只是我的初步想法，我還沒有時間把它們充實起來。

But due to how quickly everything is changing, I've decided to make this video anyway.

但由於一切都變化得太快，我還是決定製作這段視頻。

So you tell me if the following makes sense to you.

那麼，請你告訴我，以下內容對你是否有意義。

As far as I can see, the Trump administration's behavior can be explained by three interacting internal forces.

在我看來，特朗普政府的行為可以用三種相互作用的內部力量來解釋。

These are fascist, corporatist, and incompetent.

這些都是法西斯主義者、公司主義者和無能之輩。

The fascist wing contains all the far-right lunatics, your neo-Nazis, Christian fascists, and so on.

法西斯翼包含所有極右翼的瘋子、新納粹分子、基督教法西斯分子等。

Their ideal world is that of 1950s vacuum cleaner commercials.

他們的理想世界是上世紀 50 年代的吸塵器廣告。

Mom, dad, suburbs, 2.5 children, all-white neighborhoods, which they want to bring about through a larpy, traditional conservative dictatorship.

媽媽、爸爸、郊區、2.5 個孩子、全白人社區，他們希望通過傳統保守的獨裁統治來實現這一切。

To them, democracy, free speech, freedom of religion, and so on are just tools to exploit to the aforementioned end.

對他們來說，民主、言論自由、宗教自由等不過是為達到上述目的而利用的工具而已。

And they will throw away all those ideals the second they no longer need to pretend to love them.

一旦他們不再需要假裝愛他們，他們就會拋棄所有這些理想。

The corporatist wing contains your wannabe oligarchs, people who want to turn the US into a corporation with a government attached, basically, an unregulated playpen for billionaires where they can do whatever they want.

公司主義一派包括那些想當寡頭的人，他們想把美國變成一個附帶政府的公司，基本上就是一個不受監管的億萬富翁的遊戲場，在那裡他們可以為所欲為。

Corporatists seek to subvert the government, then replace its functions, thereby becoming the de facto government themselves.

公司主義者試圖顛覆政府，然後取代其職能，從而自己成為事實上的政府。

For more details, see the cyberpunk genre as a whole.

更多詳情，請參閱賽博朋克流派整體。

And then we have the incompetent wing, which is mostly Trump and his ego.

然後是無能的一派，主要是特朗普和他的自負。

Trump is emotional, rather unintelligent, and a narcissist.

特朗普情緒化，相當不聰明，而且是個自戀狂。

He's basically a massive liability for the fascists and corporatists, but Trump also happens to be the face of their movement.

對於法西斯主義者和公司主義者來說，他基本上就是一個巨大的包袱，但特朗普又恰好是他們運動的代言人。

Without Trump, there is no MAGA, there is no enacting Project 2025, and there is no turning America into an oligarchy, so they have to put up with him.

沒有特朗普，就沒有 MAGA，就沒有 "2025 計劃"，也就無法把美國變成寡頭政治，所以他們不得不忍受特朗普。

They can control him to some extent, but sometimes Trump will just go his own way no matter what.

他們可以在一定程度上控制他，但有時特朗普無論如何都會一意孤行。

Trump's incompetence also trickles down the ranks in a way, since they hire people based on loyalty to Trump, not skill.

特朗普的無能在某種程度上也會向下滲透，因為他們僱人的依據是對特朗普的忠誠，而不是技能。

This creates a sort of weird, swaying, dead weight within the system, like water sloshing around inside a ship's hull, making it prone to wild, unexpected swings for seemingly no reason.

這就在系統中產生了一種怪異的、搖擺的、死重的感覺，就像水在船體中盪來盪去一樣，使它很容易無緣無故地發生狂野的、意想不到的擺動。

So this would be incompetence, the wild card of the three wings.

是以，這將是無能，是三翼中的通病。

And appealing to just one at a time will not work.

一次只呼籲一個人是行不通的。

Keir Starmer has recently visited the US, where he put on a frankly embarrassing performance of bootlicking and groveling.

基爾-斯塔默（Keir Starmer）最近訪問了美國，他在那裡進行了一場令人尷尬的馬屁和卑躬屈膝的表演。

What I said, which is that we do have, of course, a special relationship with our friends in the UK, and also with some of our European allies, but we also know that there have been infringements on free speech that actually affect not just the British, of course, what the British do in their own country is up to them, but also affect American technology companies, and by extension, American citizens.

我所說的是，當然，我們與英國的朋友以及一些歐洲盟友有著特殊的關係，但我們也知道，對言論自由的侵犯實際上不僅影響到英國人，當然，英國人在自己國家做什麼由他們自己決定，但也影響到美國的科技公司，進而影響到美國公民。

So that is something that we'll talk about today at lunch.

所以，這是我們今天午餐時要討論的問題。

We've had free speech for a very, very long time in the United Kingdom, and it will last for a very, very long time.

在英國，言論自由已經存在了很長很長時間，而且還將持續很長很長時間。

Well, no, I mean, certainly we wouldn't want to reach across US citizens, and we don't, and that's absolutely right.

嗯，不，我的意思是，我們當然不希望接觸到美國公民，我們也不會，這是完全正確的。

Trying his absolute best to suck up to Trump.

Because Starmer tried appealing to the incompetence, not the fascism or corporatism.

因為斯塔默試圖訴諸的是無能，而不是法西斯主義或公司主義。

Zelensky floated the mineral deal to Trump early on.

澤倫斯基很早就向特朗普提出了礦產交易。

Help us, and we'll make some of our rare earth metals available to you.

幫助我們，我們就會向你們提供一些稀土金屬。

Because Zelensky only appealed to the corporatists, not the fascists or the incompetent.

因為澤倫斯基只對公司主義者有吸引力，而不是法西斯主義者或無能者。

Viktor Orban has been orbiting Trump and his people for almost a decade, trying to posture as a fellow warrior for white civilization, hoping to get political support for his authoritarian project back home.

近十年來，維克托-歐爾班一直圍繞著特朗普和他的人民，試圖擺出一副白人文明戰士的姿態，希望為他在國內的專制計劃爭取政治支持。

Because Orban only appeals to the fascists, not the corporatists or the incompetent.

因為歐爾班只對法西斯主義者有吸引力，而不是公司主義者或無能者。

In order to deal with the Trump administration, you have to appeal to all three wings at the same time.

要想與特朗普政府打交道，就必須同時吸引三方面的力量。

If you can offer something meaningful that both fascists, corporatists and the incompetent will favor, if you do something that appeases all three simultaneously, then you will have become indistinguishable from them.

如果你能提供法西斯主義者、公司主義者和無能者都會青睞的有意義的東西，如果你做的事情能同時討好這三者，那麼你就會變得與他們無異。

You will have made a deal with the devil essentially, with no going back.

你將與魔鬼做了一筆根本無法回頭的交易。

Notably, Elon Musk is the perfect combination of the three wings, being both fascist, corporatist and incompetent.

值得注意的是，埃隆-馬斯克是三翼的完美結合，既是法西斯主義者，又是公司主義者，還是無能之輩。

Not coincidentally, the only person who can appeal nearly perfectly to all three wings at the same time is Vladimir Putin.

無獨有偶，唯一能同時幾乎完美地吸引三翼的人就是普京。

If you wonder why the Trump administration is so drawn to Russia, this is why.

如果您想知道特朗普政府為何如此青睞俄羅斯，這就是原因所在。

Russia is a dictatorship with sham elections.

俄羅斯是一個假選舉的獨裁國家。

It leans increasingly heavily into far-right Christian nationalism, where its leader pretends to be a devout believer while also furnishing his palace with striptease poles.

它越來越傾向於極右翼的基督教民族主義，其領導人假裝是虔誠的信徒，同時還在自己的宮殿裡擺放脫衣舞杆。

俄羅斯也是超級資本主義國家。

The owner class below Putin is composed of oligarchs heading large corporations in a system that is essentially legalized cartelling and corruption, fully plugged into the neoliberal world economy, where the dream of all those below the owners, the mid- and low-level managerial class, is to hoard enough public money so they can spend their days in a gaudy mansion in Dubai.

普京以下的所有者階層由寡頭組成，他們上司著大型企業，其制度本質上是合法化的卡特爾和腐敗，完全融入了新自由主義的世界經濟，所有者以下的中低層管理階層的夢想就是囤積足夠的公款，這樣他們就可以在迪拜的華麗豪宅中頤養天年。

The Russian elite also knows how to handle incompetent leaders.

俄羅斯精英也知道如何處理無能的領導人。

Putin is used to dealing with dimpot dictators in their satellite states and easily finds common ground with Trump.

普京習慣於與衛星國的昏君獨裁者打交道，很容易與特朗普找到共同點。

He had also received official KGB training on how to deal with authoritarian, narcissistic leaders.

他還接受了克格勃關於如何與專制、自戀的領導人打交道的官方培訓。

Therefore, it is no wonder that the Trump administration and Russia constantly keep gravitating towards each other.

是以，特朗普政府與俄羅斯不斷相互傾軋也就不足為奇了。

So, as the remaining bastions of the free, democratic world, how do you counter this?

那麼，作為自由民主世界僅存的堡壘，你們該如何反擊呢？

Quite simply, we need to address the systemic issue that gave rise to the Trump administration and most other far-right movements in the West.

很簡單，我們需要解決引發特朗普政府和西方大多數其他極右運動的系統性問題。

Well, as they say, it's the economy, stupid!

俗話說得好，經濟才是硬道理！

The rich get richer, while everyone else gets poorer.

Prices are up, inflation is up, your salary isn't.

物價上漲，通貨膨脹，你的工資卻沒有漲。

All the while, billionaires' wealth is increasing at a record pace.

與此同時，億萬富翁的財富卻在以創紀錄的速度增長。

People are not idiots, and they see all that happening.

人們不是傻瓜，他們看到了這一切的發生。

But they can't always articulate their negative feelings in any coherent political form.

但他們總是無法以任何連貫的政治形式來表達自己的負面情緒。

So people's negative feelings, the bad vibes if you will, manifest in general anti-elitism and anti-intellectualism, like an extremely high fever that also damages your body, not just the virus inside you.

是以，人們的負面情緒，也可以說是壞情緒，表現為普遍的反精英主義和反智主義，就像極度高燒一樣，也會損害你的身體，而不僅僅是你體內的病毒。

All this anger and desire for change can be channeled into a positive and constructive political movement.

所有這些憤怒和變革的願望都可以轉化為積極和建設性的政治運動。

Only, that specific political movement has been dead for some time in most Western countries.

只不過，這場特殊的政治運動在大多數西方國家已經消亡了一段時間。

We are talking about leftism, which for many regular people has become an actual slur.

我們談論的是左派，對許多普通人來說，左派已經成為一種實際的汙名。

Footage of leftist meetings and conferences go viral because of how ridiculous they get.

左派會議和大會的片段之所以被瘋傳，就是因為它們有多荒謬。

If we want to defeat capitalism, we are going to need a party that will organize working people to fight for the demands that we want and to win socialism.

如果我們想打敗資本主義，我們就需要一個能組織勞動人民為我們想要的要求而奮鬥並贏得社會主義的政黨。
