I know. I'm aware. And obviously I enjoy the discussion. My disillusionment is tempered by the observation that the whole of the chattering class is flat-footed and floundering and that the only honest ones are writing variations of "what the fuck just happened". The ones that are claiming bullshit like "noam chomsky called this political moment 6 years ago" are the ones that are looking for a safe place to stop thinking. There are a lot of fundamental tenets of neoliberal thought and policy that aren't questioned because fuck you, that's why. For 30 years it's only been the howling moonbats that talk about the "creature from Jeckyll Island". And first Strauss and Howe, and then Ha-Joon Chang, and then Piketty raise real questions about economics and its effects but nobody listens and now? Well, now everyone is floundering around for answers and I hope some alternative theories get some real investigation. Sometimes we need some real fuckin' hubris before we can move on. I guess, in a way, Trump=Hitler is a part of that.
