This DeLong rant reminds me of William Burroughs' routine about the dinosaurs. https://archive.fo/gysDb

My favorite part of that DeLong tweet thread is when he talks about the noble immigrants trying to make in their new country "a little Mogadishu" in which to be at home. It's even more mirror-image Moldbuggian than the Massachusetts shall conquer Kentucky stuff that precedes it.
-
Yeah, I had the same reaction: Dude is explicitly endorsing Moldbug's Cathedral thesis, from the inside.
-
At the time I said this: > "we are all in this together with no special authorities or leaders because of the Priesthood of All Believers" is SO on the nose it's embarassing

The only thing better than Burroughs' writing is hearing him speak.
-
The video is linked from the Reddit page but he's really hard to understand in the recording and the relevant part is in the middle.
-
When is he not hard to understand? :>
-
His 90s releases were a lot easier to understand, probably because of extensive editing.

its annoying because any president gets opposite party winning back congress, and it pretends flavor of backlash against obama had nothing to do with his actions and he was just like bill clinton(he wasnt) on top of that they consider newt gingrich extremist too
-
if you go back to any wave or iteration of the right wing in any time they would say its "extreme" if you look at their narrative of it there isnt any actually existing GOP wave they would actually be ok with
-
I remember how Ronald Reagan was extreme and his policies were causing a huge explosion in people becoming homeless. What was really going on was that the left had won the battle for deinstitutionalization in the late 1970s, and all the former mental patients were on sidewalks.
