   It's really reassuring having repeated confirmation that the ruling class and their courtiers in the media are mostly a bunch of unprincipled sociopaths who can't understand doing anything except for money and power.

     It's no wonder why America is a country where homes and healthcare are unaffordable and basic rights get peeled away from us on a daily basis when even our heroic defenders of the liberal democratic order seem more concerned with backing fascists and lining their own pockets.

     And if you don't like it, they'll sic the riot cops on you.

     And I guess what all of this has revealed is the brokenness of our political culture and government, the corruption, and the extent of the apathy and contempt they have for ordinary people.

     At every point in this system, there are veto points for preventing progress. But corruption and authoritarianism breeze right on through.
