Centralized vs. Distributed data processing methods applies to communism

vs. capitalism, also dictatorships vs. democracy in dataism. Harari "Homo Deus". So how does oligarchy and the GOP, creating narratives the GOP base get mashed into believing, fit into 'distributed data processing' theory? They claim to be all about the individual yet they tribalize and control. They just could not let their base enjoy a very smart, affable and cool president in Obama because that would ebb some racism in their base and they could not have that. Hypocrites! If the GOP base has to March to ethnic bias and wear some of the same clothes and think the same and feel the same, how is that going to help people adapt to a rapidly changing world?

"Rather, capitalism won the cold war because distributed data processing works better than centralized data processing, at least in periods of accelerating technological changes."

"Not only individual organisms are seen today as data processing systems, but also entire societies such as beehives, bacteria colonies, forests and human cities." Harari.

Human emotion is seen as just an algorithm, what a perfect philosophy for the GOP.
