Crane Fist posted:I can't do it. It's just so loving tedious and overwritten. What's the catch EDIT: This is actually a summary of the dealbook article I linked to, not the n+1 piece. The catch is there is none. It's really as simple as it first appears. Everything was fine, but the economic crisis in 2007 made everyone real angry and susceptible to "radical" messages about how maybe people should have some say over how the economy is managed. Basically, hyper-partisanship and distrust of experts didn't exist until the crisis, factors like ongoing economic despair, vast social inequality, racism, criminal behavior among elites, post-911, the Internet echo chambers and disinformation, political campaigns, the history of the US up to 2007, etc. are basically irrelevant in this piece. Sanders is basically Trump on the left because he wants to restrain trade and the power of the market, and the same goes for anyone else on the left or right. Occupy Wall Street was the same as the Tea Party because OWS dared to challenge the banking elite. The economic crisis has made everyone into little Stalins and Hitlers who want to rain on the economic prosperity parade, and if we can't make the economy appear solvent, manage our debt, or go back to sucking off economists, bankers and investors, there's going to be blood in the streets as the savage Americans, blinded by "populism," demand accountability. LOL. Particularly precious is when he holds up conservative policies in the UK (i.e. austerity) as "populist" to demonstrate how the right and left don't work (because they're just two sides of the same coin lol). There's more (or less) to it, but I can't be bothered. It's the kind of piece that automatically offends the historian in me by being simplistic rubbish masquerading as sensible and responsible. The fact his interview subjects are all bankers, economists and Obama-era advisers is what really gives it the "we don't really give a gently caress about the little people" DNC shine.

That's okay though, now people have something to look at without having to actually read the lovely Dealbook article.

World War Mammories posted:I could definitely be out of the loop, but butina is still accused of conspiracy and acting as an unregistered foreign agent, eg. through communication with torshin etc, yes? her alleged crimes are more than "had sex in exchange for favors"? I don't understand how "prosecutors hosed up trying to push something salacious" and "there is credible evidence butina committed crimes" are mutually exclusive. moreover, I still don't understand the need to be contrarian about this stuff. I am with david klion on this (whoever told me about this dude, probably in the succ zone, thanks). just because various succers want to use "rich oligarchs, both foreign and domestic, attempted to infiltrate the electoral process to make a fuckload of money and accidentally got a piss golem elected, to their delight" to preserve their own power doesn't mean said subversion by said oligarchs never happened, nor that it is cool and good. they aren't necessarily mutually exclusive, but when a prosecutor gets yelled at because they got caught saying false things in court, it's usually fair to assume that they've said other false things that haven't been caught yet

the Russia story is basically irrelevant most likely, some of it is true and some of it is false. I'm not going to get super invested in arguing something that's only slightly above Bagelgate in terms of importance
