This is super tangential to this post, but All In is a wild podcast. While one guy is re-discovering the purpose and mechanism of taxes, some other guy is claiming that it's good actually that the entire government now has to justify itself, to him, from first principles. All to a cheering crowd of fans who think these guys are obviously the smartest guys alive.
It's an insane look into a completely stupid world.
- whoknowsidont 2y agoYou've pretty much hit the crux of the entire problem in this one comment. Some decidedly very dumb people who have a lot of confidence and a very large sum of money are basically controlling the zeitgeist both politically and culturally and it is not looking pretty. It was frustrating before, then scary, now I think a lot of us are thinking about more material actions we can take to stop this non-sense.
