one of the things you realize when studying the history of nuclear strategy is that people from all kinds of fields - political science, history, economics, physics, engineering, etc. - are all perfectly capable of being completely insane.

Farmers vote against workers' interest bc most of us aren't working class. Farmers are business owners. With inherited wealth & property. It's not that hard to figure out! It's not folksy, & it's not "economic anxiety." Most *small family farmers* in the US are millionaires w 6-figure incomes.

USDA table showing that the median small family farm household has over $1M in assets and over $100K in net annual income (AFTER farm expenses & debts).

It's a real Experience being a farmer trying to shout as loud as I can about what's happening out here. While journalists ignore the obvious so they can write their tear-jerker bullshit. Farmers chose Trump, as a strategy to take advantage of their own workers & the entire US taxpayer population.

i feel like one problem here is that so many writers take Germany instead of Italy has their model of what it looks like

Last year, for this magazine, we put forward an unfashionable argument: that the Trump administration isn’t fascist. This was based predominantly on the president’s domestic policy. While he certainly exhibits authoritarian tendencies, some of the major tenets of fascism—such as centralising power in the hands of the state and working to bring about societal transformation—are absent. Instead, the Trump administration has systematically defanged government regulatory agencies, defunded entire government departments and routinely abandons or ignores the legislative and judicial branches. Its priority appears to be enriching the commander-in-chief (and his wealthy backers).

That Trump II is killing its way through every level of Iran's leadership until the unqualified recent hires are in charge is consistent with the notion that hegemons always try to export their ideal regime type.

The fact that Okinawan self-determination only gets flagged now in such a high-profile manner by the CCP as a way to stick it to Japan, when issues facing Okinawa aren’t exactly new, reflects to what extent it’s a cheap, quick attack and they don’t actually care about the issue
