Maybe this is how we know the line between seediness and rectitude in MAGA. The latter is created by earnest non-white shopkeepers. The former can be found among white suburban guys who do, well, what you discuss here.
Regarding the 'war on PMC,' this always reminds me of 'Working Girl.' If only Melanie Griffith can get around Sigourney Weaver and talk with the Real Boss, then all can be well. I'm wondering about the history of evil mid-level managers in popular culture.
On another side note, I share your annoyance with certain conservatives who think MAGA is the intermediary stage to a new shared culture based on a love of Western classics. Guys, this is it. Right here. This is the culture.
Really interesting conversation. I don’t think enough is made about just how unhealthy it is to have a society taking in all of society’s thoughts constantly. It does feel like the only solution is to unplug as much as one can.
"In the new year, I’ll have a bunch of writing in other publications, including some exciting announcements about" -- about what? or is the suspense intentional...
Gnoccic Codexes: Just saw and bookmarked for after my shift. Glancing looks like I'll be confused by his use of new neocons. Can you shed some light as a primer on what he means by this?

I was like ‘where is Ganz and the Bosskap theory now that he’s been right about everything?’
(Is it Bosskap? I cannot remember how to spell it.) Anyway, this needs to be a household word. Maybe it’ll be 2024’s word of the year!

Fascinating discussion to the end. Hope you guys revisit the subject(s) into 2025.
