Eh we're doing fine but government is pretty solidly locked up between 2 dominant neoliberal parties pursuing a predictably corporatist agenda. Other parties have largely succumbed to PASOKification. Still, politics is sane here, which is nice

paranoid randroid posted:the hosed up thing about democracy is that Aristotle was almost right when he said that democracy leads to the masses voting themselves a largess from the state, except instead the masses vote for the wealthy to receive that largess on vague promises of getting some dosh on the side And even then Aristotle talked a lot about democracies being swayed by pseudo-populist hucksters. Guys, I think democracy might not work...

nine-gear crow posted:That expose the Daily Beast did on Milo as he was reaching terminal velocity in his post-pedo career tailspin had a fascinating sub-plot weaved through it and that was how Access Journalists like Olivia Nuzzi worked their asses off to ingratiate themselves to Milo and become his friends despite knowing he was a toxic white supremacist. I think it is endemic to the system, they don’t know how to properly respond to actual fascists so they divide by zero mentally and try to make friends with the fascists, because Almighty Access. Maggie demands her precious Access. This was from a few pages ago, but I don't think this is quite right. Access may be important to a lot of reporters/journalists, sure, but Olivia Nuzzi was a fan of not just Milo, but Ann Coulter too. Not sure what type of access one would get by being buddy-buddy with those clowns. Nuzzi seems like less of an accepting centrist, and more of a crypto-chud, which is why that Buzzfeed article seemed so terrifying imo. It showed several examples of supposedly left-wing news outlets, like Vice, hiring people who provide intel to right-winger outlets.

it's so annoying that people still think rich people are smart when they're probably the dumbest people on earth. Stereotype posted:It’s astounding to me how dumb everyone involved in this administration is. Then it’s massively depressing that tens of millions of people think that they are actually very smart. it's frightening realizing how many people in your life are actually absolutely braindead when you hear them talk about these folks (or politics in general). i had an older coworker showing me a tpusa meme about aoc asking me what i thought about it (knowing i'm very left wing). this dude is like third from the top in our company. the same email had a bunch of other right wing propaganda that would've taken two seconds to debunk. it was driving me insane after the election how many people in the office were using the ahistorical cities vs rural electoral college defense (even people i know definitely didn't vote for trump)..

He's just a hateful, incoherent rear end in a top hat with accelerating dementia. There is no bottom because there's nothing loving there in the first place. Any sense people think they can make of his behavior is just their own pattern recognition trying not to freak out over a divide by zero error.

Real question is whether he's doing this as framing for Trump and co. Repeatedly saying "I don't remember" on the witness stand, or if he's doing it so he can then cite it when he himself is saying it. Dude has intimate nightly phone calls with dear leader and Cohen was his "lawyer."
