      2/ Fast cascades do not indicate to me that people are grappling with issues and slowly reaching consensus - they indicate a purely social, not intellectual, process where people are snapping-to-grid. Conformity propagates outwards through the game-of-life grid. Zombies.

      3/ I am also very much against the SWIFT delisting of Russia, and the seizure of foreign exchange reserves. Why? Kegan 4 level thinking. (a) I want PROCESS with rules, deliberation, and appeals, not mob rule (b) I prefer a diversity of geopolitical regimes over a monoculture

      12/ ...I grew even more cynical at that moment (which is saying something - this is just after I'd watched Bill Clinton and Janet Reno burn women and children to death at Waco live on TV bc they'd embarrassed the BATF's "Operation Showtime" designed to justify higher budgets).

          13/ So anyway, I realized then that the elite class (a) have sort of a teleological world view where civilization means that everything becomes more and more centralized, and local independence / freedom upsets this vision of the anointed (b) they share class interest >

          In a few short days, we've moved from pundits mournfully intoning platitudes about the terrible return of war to Europe (completely ignoring the 90s, of course) to shrieking for a great power war and explaining nukes aren't that big a deal anyway. This is political psychosis.
