11. New Deal regulatory schemes, from national security to financial rules, were premised on this basic view that big biz wasn't property.

30. Faced with a corporate autocrat lying in corporate management speak or a political autocrat promising to save your job, who do you pick?

Might be right. But strikes me as "Being There" — elites rationalizing mindless drivel from an imbecile gardner. https://t.co/ooymCpwWQO

The answer to, "What idiot did this!?" is almost always, "A smart, well-intentioned person making tradeoffs you hadn't even considered."

8. Evangelicals want to live in a theocracy. They fully support any government action that forces Christian views on non-Christians.

…Midwestern folk have a general idea of who's screwing them over, and Sanders parses as an honest man. THAT'S why he'd win Missouri.

Makes you wonder how much market stagnation is not intentional collusion but the accidental result of rational firm level group-think.

My capacity for abstract thought (like about software) is predicated on me not using brainspace on lower level issues like safety & food.

A Tale of Two Moralities, Part One: Regional Inequality and Moral Polarization
“The good news is that anti-elite anybody-but-Hillary-ism doesn’t really imply serious public appetite for anything like alt-right authoritarianism. The bad news is that the liberal-democratic capitalist welfare state and the so-called ‘neoliberal’ global order is far and away the best humanity has ever done, and we’ve taken it for granted. We could very well trash it in a fit of pique, and wind up a middle-income kleptocracy boiling with civil strife and/or destabilize the global order in a way that ends in utter horror.”

“WESTWORLD,” RACE, AND THE WESTERN
“The first season of “Westworld” fused the robot-rebellion genre with mythology of the American West, but it failed to reckon with the racial implications of its fictional civil war.”
[…]
“In the Western, as John Ford made it, the West liberated America from the divisive issue of slavery, allowing white men and white women to come together, at last, in making America great again.”

Writing the Truth: Five Difficulties
Bertolt Brecht, 1934:
“Nowadays, anyone who wishes to combat lies and ignorance and to write the truth must overcome at least five difficulties.
- He must have the courage to write the truth when truth is everywhere opposed;
- the keenness to recognize it, although it is everywhere concealed;
- the skill to manipulate it as a weapon;
- the judgment to select those in whose hands it will be effective;
- and the cunning to spread the truth among such persons.
These are formidable problems for writers living under Fascism, but they exist also for those writers who have fled or been exiled; they exist even for writers working in countries where civil liberty prevails.”
