    Wow. This guy thinks leftist extremists are preparing behind the scenes to take over the Democrat Party.

    I wish.

    (By extreme leftists, he means Bernie, Elizabeth Warren, and AOC. Hardly anything to get worked up about.)

      yeah lol. i mean elizabeth warren is a vicious neoliberal authoritarian cunt but she has no political power or support. but bernie and aoc are both moderate principled politicians for the most part.

      For a better take on what dalios saying better to read peter turchin and avoid the billionaire capitalist cockamamie version

        I read Ages of Discord and it was very interesting. For example, he had kind of contrarian takes on the Great Depression (e.g. deflation was bad for the financial classes but actually helped the working and middle classes achieve broader prosperity). Which others would you recommend? A friend recommended Secular Cycles a long time ago but I haven’t got around to it yet.

          yeah secular cycles is great , particularly if you want a map of post fossil fuel future if we fumble the energy transition long term, the malthusianish cycles will start again. his blog is good too.

    Holy enlightened centrism… this guy is exactly the kind of both-sides-ing “undecided” voter that conservatives utilize to achieve the ratchet effect and stop any meaningful progress dead in its tracks.
