I found this person after investigating the author of the book: Drug War Capitalism. Sad to see another perfect example of liberals doing great analysis but coming short in being pragmatic.

    I’m not as surprised looking at their ‘‘credentials’’ on twitter, what they deemed important to ‘‘show off’’. That they graduated from Georgetown, an ivy league, that they enjoy raving (which likely entails psychedelics, leading to the ayahuasca bazinga brain, or new age hippie bullshit), and that they studied abroad in Japan (so they’re likely into anime and videogames, and gobble up everything Japan, cosplay or are geeky), and most telling of all, they grew up in LA, and we all know you need brain de-wormer growing up in the goddamn US. I forgot to mention that like me, they’re Millennial, and I’ve met a number of my generational kin that grew up with some privilege to study abroad, or mingle with people from other countries in ivy leagues and their bad takes. I think they studied with escuálidos in Georgetown and that misinforms their position. These are all assumptions, but tracking the brainrot is fun, just as it is for us tracking how we got here.

    As for the author this is one of those ‘‘ninis’’ that are neither Washington nor Moscow, but always end up in Washington.
