MAGA's goal is the rejuvenation of the national spirit. A typical fascist goal. The method is hatered and division. A typical fascist method.

@MonetaryWonk But I agree that neoliberalism is a beautiful ideology. An enticing myth. It does speak to some of the most primordial human instincts. It's a powerful delusion.

@MonetaryWonk > If more ppl simply looked at each issue objectively, instead of what their tribe says they should think

I crossed tribes somehwere around 2011-2014. Which is why I consider myself quite objective. Facts and logic, it turned out are much more on the Left side

We can have nice things. We don’t have to be laughed at by the rest of the world anymore. President AOC is in reach.

Ancient Roman democracy failed in a very similar fashion and that led to a dysfunctinal society and democarcy, to the rise of authoritarianism, i.e. the Empire and ultimately to the disintegration of the Roman society and finally its death.

America is so much Rome. It's jarring.

In Munich, AOC connects income inequality to the rise of authoritarianism.

This is fascinating as it is the original surface on which Ancient Romans walked in 4th century AD...

Most people stepping into Saint Peter's basilica don't notice the red porphyry disk, the "Rota Porphyretica".
Charlemagne was crowned on this in 800 AD, and 21 further emperors.
Originally in the old basilica, it was lifted to here

@MonetaryWonk @X__Anderson I call this The War Divided. And btw, there's early signs that the War Divided is now coming to Europe with massive tech advances thanks to increased defence budgets.

All this flies in the face of the neoliberal doctrine.

[Roaring 20s Redux (Misho) 🇺🇦🇵🇸 @MishoMoney]

@MonetaryWonk @X__Anderson These are hidden and not so hidden subsidies that gave a crucial boost the US computer industry. Basically, neither Intel, nor Sequoia Capital, and lots more in the Sillicon Valley would not have existed had it no been for the subsidies.

@adamwren Should be obvious to anybody...

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

Robin Williams warned us about Donald Trump.

We didn’t listen.

[Roaring 20s Redux (Misho) 🇺🇦🇵🇸 @MishoMoney]

@EduardHabsburg It's also the original surface on which ancient Romans walked in 4th century AD...

[Roaring 20s Redux (Misho) 🇺🇦🇵🇸 @MishoMoney]

@MonetaryWonk How do explain Sweden then?

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

The midterms are 10 months away, but Donald Trump is already meddling in them.

Why a raid in Georgia today should concern everyone 👇

🚨Gavin Newsom Issues a Stark Warning🚨

"You will not have a country if he rigs this election. You will have a President who will be running for a third term, mark my word..."

Rand Paul is right here.

My take: Even if Alex Peretti is a commie and did shady things in the past, nothing here justifies his murder, and ICE killed him for protecting a woman.

@MonetaryWonk When nowadays I think of the USA the first thing that comes to mind is the Ancian Greek sequence:

hubris, äte, nemesis

[Roaring 20s Redux (Misho) 🇺🇦🇵🇸 @MishoMoney]

@MonetaryWonk Another element that I expect will backfire bigly for MAGA and the US is the destruction of NATO.

Europe's massive investment in military R&D is spurring a lot of innovation and finally Europe is also getting the war dividend and throwing out he measly peace dividend. Good deal.
