Been thinking more abt this. The only one whose association with racist/elitist pseudoscience really surprised me was Chomsky, because he spent his career seemingly arguing in the other direction.
The enemy is reactionism; the idea that a certain elect are special equity holders in society.
I don't know why commentators still think that Nazism would somehow make a Texas candidate less popular...
When you vote Republican, you reliably vote for:
1) A criminal war-of-choice
2) A crashed economy
3) Both
How is this idea still surviving that the GOP knows anything about business, stability, or economic growth?
It’s obviously and foreseeably the opposite.

When Anne Applebaum suggests reading material, smart people listen.
Part of me is still baffled by why billionaires would seek pseudointellectual company and rationalization.
