genuinely insane that "this war is solely for Israel and against every American interest and sensibility" can't be pointed out. I guess Murdoch wanted it, which explains some of it but... jfc
it's entirely for Israel and not only screwing American economy but betraying our allies
first proper English translation of his work (I think?) will be published by Columbia University Press
Marx's "false consciousness" is kinda the opposite of "people will vote for more treats"—it's shapes their ideology (how they model their world to be effective/fulfill needs) but it's always a simplification or out-of-date
middle class people making themselves the victim of things not happening to them is pretty contemptible—the classic shifting to the third person when complaining about prices. I wonder if "real wages up for lowest quintile [more people bidding up]" is part of the reason for increased demand
The postmodern left is just consumerist "I deserve ∞ treats and if you cite economic reasons you hate the working class" but they purloin socialist vocabulary or call themselves "anti-capitalist" so it can catch you off-guard
Americans ("so many people") comparing themselves to richer Americans while ignoring the workers in other countries (that they depend on for their lifestyles) is a problem though.
Americans are consumers first and they try to shoehorn things into left-sounding language but at best it's clumsily trying to object to status inequality and at worst it's Americans trying to make ethical claims the government must feed them more (even if that means exploitation elsewhere)

Epstein names Bill Hellman, Geoff Ling, Ed Boyden, and Caleb Harper as potential members of his secret society in Haven’t seen Bill Hellman (board of Ford?) or Ed Boyden (MIT) get attention
people don't vote by "economic interest" despite leftists' insistence on that slogan. Also the 200k+ bracket swung for Kamala hardest, not sure what you mean by "working class ... voting for them at a higher rate"
best to call them selfish now lest we end up declaring war on Argentina to save the working class from the trauma of a $3 hamburger
why not? Communism’s dead, Bernie made more of a splash than anyone else unfortunately.
Lutnick (the current commerce secretary) is mentioned as "to investigate" for a ponzi scheme (!!) Bill Barr, Trump's former attorney general, for being present when a girl was raped. www.justice.gov/epstein/file...
Epstein/Maxwell hosted sinaloa cartel members at Trump’s golf course, trafficking 12-14 year-old girls to them. Robin Leech said to have strangled a 14 year-old to death (who is buried on the golf course) www.justice.gov/epstein/file...
