yeh, and also hilights the huge advantage the progressive globalists have - its harder to get the grumpy conservatives in each nation to give a lavender about each other.

hence that version of the truth has more focused participants, we are yet to see the global nationalists form coalitions of "ill ignore you if you ignore me" that create big super structures.
Really been thinking lately why there isn't a closer look/reassessment over Ancient Egypt-- if one wants to see the outcome of what a "worldwide" economics-first order looks like.

Who was the Pharaoh but the guy who owned the water rights over the Nile? Everything else flows [pun intended] from there. Old/Middle Kingdom "political" control is almost always overstated but the guy in charge held a very tight grip through the economic sphere. And the religious aspect, which really takes off closer to "New" Kingdom times is, I think, misread or read back into earlier sources where it isn't quite the same thing.

That old economic Egypt was a "world" economy which was totaling, with very rigid class differentiation but deeply egalitarian within the classes. Everyone had a place as long as it was economically beneficial to the pharaoh-system.

Paul Gallant should have asked his cat to explain the difference between a predator and prey to him.

As we used to say in the olden days: "Couldn't happen to a better guy!"

Question for Paul Gallant: "What do you call someone who finally learns the difference between "we" and "me" sometime in their mid 40's?"
Answer: "WOKE!"

its an early trend but Im noticing that a certain group of middle class women arent as supportive of the woke agenda now that the Karen meme is in full flight.

it was all fun and games when things are blamed on the generic white man but its seeming less amusing to them now.

Tablet | How the Media Led the Great Racial Awakening
Years before Trump’s election the media dramatically increased coverage of racism and embraced new theories of racial consciousness that set the stage for the latest unrest.

Matt Taibbi | A review of "The People, No: A Brief History of Anti-Populism"
It wasn’t until after World War II that the more effective version of anti-Populist messaging was developed, as Frank writes:
Now anti-populism was taken up by a new elite, a liberal elite that was led by a handful of thinkers at prestigious universities … In short, the highly educated learned to deplore working-class movements for their bigotry, their refusal of modernity, and their borderline madness.
The new conception of populism, as popularized by historians like Richard Hofstadter, pitted the common run of voters against a growing class of elite-educated managerial professionals, philosopher-kings who set correct policy for the ignorant masses.

The model of enlightened government for this new “technocratic” class of “consensus thinkers” was John Kennedy’s “Camelot” cabinet of Experts in Shirtsleeves, with Robert McNamara’s corporatized Pentagon their Shining Bureaucracy on a Hill. This vision of ideal democracy has dominated mainstream press discourse for almost seventy years.

The Spectator | Why is the media downplaying the Hunter Biden story?
Throughout the resulting impeachment push against Trump, press outlets like Bloomberg dutifully supported Democrats by explaining there was ‘nothing illegal (or even that unusual)’ about the sitting vice president’s son taking a highly paid do-nothing job in a corrupt country on the frontlines of American diplomacy.

The Senate report helpfully points out the imbecility of such claims: of course Hunter’s job was preposterously corrupt, any several people pointed it out at the time. In early 2015 George Kent, a senior diplomat at the US embassy in Ukraine, complained to the White House about Hunter Biden’s Burisma ‘job’. When he was ignored, in 2016 Kent reiterated that Hunter’s job ‘was very awkward for all US officials pushing an anti-corruption agenda in Ukraine’. Another State Department official, Amos Hochstein, warned that Hunter’s position was making it easy for Russian media to attack America’s anti-corruption push in Ukraine.

The Senate report isn’t restricted to Ukraine, though. Hunter, a Navy washout prone to drug benders (though who is Cockburn to judge?), had a remarkable acumen for finding foreign business opportunities. The report highlights millions in payments that Hunter, business partner Devin Archer, and their firms received from wealthy foreign nationals in China and Russia.

Gallup | Bias in Others' News a Greater Concern Than Bias in Own News
While Americans acknowledge bias in their favored source of news, their greater concern about bias in other people's media may suggest their discontent with the news media lies less in their experience with it than in their perceptions of others' experiences, explaining how this plays into the political polarization in the U.S. national discourse. One hypothesis to account for this is that people may assume they are better able than others to recognize news bias, and thus believe they are more impervious to it.
Translation: My news source good, your news source bad.

No news here. This seems very consistent with human nature and our predilection for tribalism. Same for politics, religion, sports teams, music, etc.

Taki's Mag | ‘Truth’ Over Facts
Can a society carry on when it is ruled by giant toddlers obsessed with fantasy stories, rather than adults doing the hard work of governing a people? What happens when a significant portion of the people collectively realize that the people in charge are dangerously nuts? At some point the script will demand an answer, and it will not involve strong female leads riding a dragon. It will be much worse.
