I've followed you on Twitter for years (as various accounts since Twitter is fond of suspending me), and had no idea you are on substack. So glad to find this. Now I don't have to miss out.
I am sad that I didn’t discover you until you were booted off twitter. You give voice to so much I have thought since the “Maestro” was conducting. My anger went into overdrive when Angelo Mozillo got away and It’s been simmering since. But how to address; what to do? We are living in the Matrix but have swallowed red pills, and yet we are still being used as human fuel- ok bad metaphor.
Does the venting help your peace of mind? Serious question.
Don’t know if others have this issue but I can’t see anything you link to like your “pinned tweet”. Just get an error message from the way back machine.
Stupid Twitter ban. My pinned tweet says I primarily focus on the military-industrial war machine, and our Fed-led kleptocracy.
As for your question, yes. I think many more are now aware of these two existential threats than, say, 10 years ago. Still a tiny fraction, but I feel like I've made a small difference.
Since folks cannot get out of a false dichotomy political theatre paradigm, is doubtful they will ever get close to the Fed and Military-Industrial-Congressional Complex. Analysing them lately, I'm pretty much perplexed of simplicity of the ways they exist - ants (no offense to these magnificent insects) and village idiots come to mind.
As Jordan Peterson said, one needs to risk causing offence when debating something meaningful. Because it matters. The US has scored so many own goals in the last 50 years some one should take the ball from us.
The analysis is spot-on, as always. The decline of the West is mainly driven by its moral decadence and complete lack of elite accountability. The bill is due, and it won't be cheap. Amazing how we have wasted 200+ years of technological domination and civilization in less than 40 years.
Electing Trump was Middle America giving the middle finger to the power elite/deep state. They came right back with a double-barrel salute with Biden and Harris.
I talked to a few people in 2016 who said they couldn't stand Trump but were going to vote for him. He was simply a giant middle-finger to the bipartisan status quo, or so they thought at the time.
I was OK with almost all of it, until you brought up Valerie Jarrett. Then I realized how happy I was to have forgotten that she existed. What a horrible person. Eric Holder is slightly above her in my contempt scale.
But nobody is close to Gavin Newsom, who hopes to be our next president. Newsom vs. Trump would be interesting... It's all covfefe.
Mostly know and love Yanis for his whole hearted support for Julian Assange but nice to see his economics are as good as his heart and ethical compass. All the qualities politicians abhor.
So whats the difference between democracy and populism again? Because when different groups of people do the same thing the media will either refer to it as democracy or populism depending on which group they they support.
The definition of populism according to the google is: "a political approach that strives to appeal to ordinary people who feel that their concerns are disregarded by established elite groups."
Most people would agree - using that definition - that they are populist! However, our Quisling MSM has tried to make populism synonymous with Nazis or something. The propaganda is ridiculous but the elites are terrified people will figure out their scam.
That's what I try to do - shine a little light on the scam.
I still watch the archived Yanis Varoufakis YouTube videos being interviewed on how to fix it all up, when he was running shotgun for what's his name Tsipris. Dude was spot on, after they ran him out, he's gone Hollywood.
There is one party; we are not invited.

Cheers!

Thanks! Namaste.

Great, I love tragedy that makes you laugh.
Another potentially great post, but unfortunately I wasn't offended at all.
Next time!

I am so with you and Ben Hunt on all of this.

I think it would be great to double down on the middle finger again.

Well, I didn't mean to bring up Valerie in a good way :)

I have always liked what I've heard from Yanis.
A lot of good points here. It doesn’t matter who is in charge. Same playbook.

This is pretty good, from June 2022.

Brilliant and thank you. I feel alive again.
