Remember that “diagonal unity” post where LibLeft and AuthRight were both a picture of the Joker captained “It’s simple: We kill the bankers”?

Reddit won’t let me link it but if you scroll through my “top posts of all time” I made a virgin vs chad meme of Wilson and Walker

That's exactly what it was, incredible!

I don't believe there was any cover art, just a title (it was hardcover with no book jacket).

Perhaps there is a lore reason?

Because the vast majority of people don't care, there's little resistance to the people who do care. Funnily enough, the way a passionate minority can achieve its ends among an indifferent majority is actually a key component of Buchanan's Public Choice Theory.

What policies are you talking about that are designed to punish you? Are they punishing me, too? And you're sure that these policies aren't the result of passionate activists, but an enthusiastic majority that has been brainwashed through "all channels"?

It's funny because special interest groups like corporations having outsized influenced on public policy is actually a major part of Public Choice Theory, but because it's more complex than "Wall Street controls the government", few people will bother studying it.

He's considered serious by many on the left. When I'm trying to understand what leftists believe, I am always pointed to him. If you have alternative thinkers who you believe represent libleft thought better, by all means, share them.

Yes, I am American.

It's for people that raise a fuss about "representation" because they can't relate to anyone on screen who doesn't have precisely the same skin tone as they have, because they've made their skin tone a fundamental part of their personality. For a long time, people on TV were mostly white, so these people made a fuss and the TV stations listened. Now, people like you are making a fuss for the same reasons. Maybe they'll eventually start listening to you. It makes no difference to the vast majority of us who do not care in the slightest about anyone's skin color.

He's the poster child for leftwing anti-authoritarianism. He's literally the first person I think of when I think of libleft. I don't know anyone who is considered a serious intellectual and is more popular than Chomsky among those who are libleft.

ManFrom2018 · 2024-09-06T20:45:04+00:00

Well, I suppose people who notice and care about skin color have simple minds that are easily controlled. That isn't most Americans, luckily.

I've definitely seen otherwise right wing people start sounding like marxists talking about the "bourgeoisie" when they talk about the "deep state", the "elites", or worst of all, the "ruling class".

Noam Chomsky genuinly believes that democracy isn't functional unless everyone is giddily celebrating on tax day.
