    It matches a couple of the patterns that antisemitic conspiracy theories have. Namely a secret society aimed at changing the status quo by subversion of ‘all the good people’. That’s a common theme, and has been used by both right wing and left wing antisemites. If you ask why would they subvert the good people, they answer, “It’s because it’s in their nature”

    Admittedly, it’s missing the tropes, like Christian Values, marxist-capitalists, etc, so more context is needed to say for certain






  • Then all communists and socialists are Fascist also. Mussolini was an ardent socialist before being a fascist, and indeed still considered himself a Socialist. Joseph Stalin signed the Molotov-Ribbontrop pact with Adolph Hitler, who was a thug for the Marxists before starting his National Socialist Workers Party. The Conservatives who value the appeal of Strength that Fascist thinkers call out with also fall prey to Fascism

    Indeed the Liberal Government of the United States subverted governments to install Fascist governments in South America such as the government under Pinochet. You and I both have the potential to be Fascist. I do not think that Nate Silver is any more of a Fascist than you or me, simply because he doesn’t shout from the street corners about the evils of Fascism.







  • So do you think that better halfway houses/better post-incarceration services would make a dent in our prison population? And I’m guessing that it shouldn’t be a private as that makes perverse incentives all the worse.

    Are there issues at public prisons with the revolving door at the same scale as private ones? Why do state run prisons have perverse incentives if they’re not there to make a profit? I have a hunch that it’s about being funded like schools are (I don’t know how prisons are funded)

    A lot of the violence seems to be a culture that’s hard to change. Is sexual assault training lacking in prisons? Do they not hire the right specialists to deal with these cases? Do you see any practices that might reduce violence in prisons or after prison?

    I want to know how things can change if there’s the political capital to do so. I really appreciate your comment too!
