And, it's like, I've wanted polticians who would sit there and stonewall these idiots on everything since Bush. Zero ideological overlap, zero willingness to concede, zero willingness to agree with them. People who'll *oppose* consistently.

I also don't hear a lot of MAGA types clamoring for the final abolition of the social order. As a matter of fact, they tend to want it restored and reinforced.

They expect absolute genuflection, something I've never given readily to much of anyone. Not exactly a radical statement, but I think rampant lackeyism mostly just makes politics in general worse.

Kojima, like David Lynch, has a uncanny ability to be approximately correct about the sources of many of society's ills

Honestly, I despise the world these people built enough that collapse would almost come off as an improvement at this point.

You're a solid wall of grey, too? Hot damn, I thought I was the only one!

I've always hated these modes of political analysis that amount to "shut up and accept your position as history's losers to avoid making a scene".

I hate this "Real American Conservatives are only conservative because those mean outsider leftists emerged out of the aether after the '60s/after 9/11 and forced them to" spiel.
