    If there's a future, children will learn about how the empire burned while it's brightest minds were analyzing the fridge contents of powerless members of the two elite political parties responsible for collapse.

    Read about the decline of any empire and this will seem so eerily familiar. The class elites and their intellectuals are trying to decipher tea leaves and chicken bones while the empire is coming off the tracks.


  • I was unironically listening to and parroting Freakonomics 5 years ago. I don't think there's a fire hose of chuds just waiting to be moved left. Many definitely can be moved for sure, but there is less of a mental struggle for a working class lib to move left than a working class fascist.











  • Trump also had billionaire patrons and donors independent of the other candidates. The Mercers and others spent a lot of money and hired a lot of the people that got Trump through. All of gamergate was done by people working for Robert Mercer. Bernie simply didn't have this reserve of money giving him regular shots in the arm. And yes, of course, Obama stepping (stomping?) on the scales for Bernie made all the difference.
