The Trump, Hubbard and Lucas Syndrome

October 5, 2020

Keep doubling down and forget how to quit.

Beat karma vs dogma with downright stubborn determination.

The story telling abilities are all on a par. They all produce great theatre with drama, use/abuse religion and practice manipulation of the masses with dazzel and razz.

And make billions while at it.

They’re the ‘best’ sales people on Earth because they wont take no for an answer.

I will not comment on Mr. Lucas family life at all.

However, Trump and Hubbards womanizing antics are well documented.

But between Hubbards first ‘honest, real and only religion'(again), Trumps reality TV show type presidency and Lucas’ Star Wars…

I think we could all happily argue that Lucas’ story telling was the most honest.

He wanted to tell a good fictional tale. It included religion, adventure, beating the odds underdog farm boy making the big time with romance to boot and some fancy lights and cgi. Made billions from it. Ended up with a fan based semi formal religion set up arguably in his honor, which he has participated in at arms length.

Trump took billions and used it over a lifetime to wankle through property business into TV and onto the presidency when he invoked religion in a TV moment. Rallied the troops. Proud Boys to Stand Down, Stand By.

Hubbards scientology/fiction work speaks for itself.

One other thing, if your a Lucas supporter, a Trek geek might not like you as a pal.

Trumps and Hubbard followers have been killed and killed in the name of their respective ’causes’.
