The peek behind the political curtain... I've been after such insights since Ulick Varange (Imperium) defined democracy as "the unhampered looting by finance capitalists" and E.M. Cioran (The Temptation to Exist) said "Are we but ham actors of wisdom and madness?" In the Trump era, I've noticed that "the go-to coping mechanism for the Republican base is violence." And... "The southern evangelical churches are front organizations for the Ku Klux Klan."
this reads like a longer version of that very short interview with some marketing suit in a mall near the end of the last episode of the monumental Century of the Self (though I'm no fanboy of the director).
Here's an approximation from memory of what this guy said:
"We've identified 4 types of people: mainstreamers, who look for belonging; aspirers - they look for the esteem of others; succeeders, who want control; and reformers - they look for self-esteem."
Imo, the secret to good posting is humor and/or sincerity

This and Gonzo journalism on Montana and Helium cities are the reason why I subscribed. Bravo and size the means of meme production!

The gotta be an all-inclusive category - spergs. This is a very spergy post.
Cernovitch, I have no idea. Every time I try to follow him, I unfollow in a couple of posts. Many times like that.
Same with BAP. He has brilliant flashes but a sea of meaningless words.
Sounds exhausting.
