There’s also some bogstandard anti-regulation laissez-faire neo-liberal bullshit in there, too. “I earned bought my medical degree (and also some of it was retroactively subsidized) which means I can prescribe whatever I want! Bakers don’t have to make you your queer cake! It’s my decision if I sign your marriage…

Naomi Klien’s Shock Doctrine. Again....

I enjoyed this part:

That should be on a T-Shirt. LOL

This kind:

Of course, his bootstrap was marrying someone born into the 1% (he got rich from a company his father-in-law set up for him and his brother-in-law that had as its sole customer.... his father-in-law’s company).

Take it up with Merriam-Webster and the OED.

Not a single one of which are historians. That others use this bad terminology does not mean it’s not bad terminology. This seems like more of the illogical and immature “medieval is bad” nonsense rather than any honest attempt to analyze political thought. You can’t separate feudalism from reciprocal obligation.…

This isn’t “neo-feudal”. Feudalism created reciprocal obligations between the upper and lower classes, and even if imperfect in practice those obligations are more than fundamentalist capitalists seem to believe they owe the lower classes. The well-being of your peasants/clients was something a lord was supposed to…

Being white is a privilege but white privilege is a right!

I feel like I’m in the Twilight Zone. In what world do you ask sarcastically whether food, clothing and shelter are rights to imply that they clearly are not?

I would have asked him if being white is a privilege.

Every passing day, it looks more like feeding the chicken necks of neo-feudalists like Johnson to the guillotine is becoming a necessity. If that happens, it would be a privilege for those who do it.

I find it strange he should think life is a right and food is a privilege.

Trump: the guy that makes the leader of North Korea *look good* by comparison. If Trump wasn’t stymied by the Constitution, and two other branches of government, he would LOVE to turn the USA into China/North Korea/Philippines/Russia.

Normally I don’t think that the leader of North Korea (any of the Kims) has anything worthwhile to say, but damn, that was some shade.
