Thank ya Cory! This is the modern take on politics that I’ve been needing to read! I’ve been reading up on historical political philosophy such as Hannah Arendt’s “The Origins of Totalitarianism”, which is fascinating. But I’ve been struggling to figure out how to apply what I’m learning to today.
Keep up the good work! I always enjoy your articles and insights. Having grown up in and lived in these red states, I know their labor values and how they’ve been usurped by neoliberal “conservative” politics. I want change, but I want smart change. I want change that actually liberates rather than forces one to supporting a lesser evil, or a devil known. I know many others do too, but lack imagination of a better world. Thank you for keeping the conversation and the hope alive!
