@emptywheel The United States once allied with Organized Crime to defeat the Nazis & w/ Soviet Russia. Risk to benefit ratio. State craft -
@Kat_Missouri Yes. But the logic of your approach to networks would dictate that we go after the banks more aggressively than AQ. -
@emptywheel No, because you insist on ignoring the one, very significant difference: One is violent & will seek to kill, the other wants $ -
@Kat_Missouri Hmm. Seems a foolish distinction to me. They'll both do anything to accrue power. The banks are just more effective. -
@emptywheel Hmmm...That is the history of banking. JP Morgan, etc. This is not new. We curtail them w/law, but find them useful -
@Kat_Missouri You mean the JP Morgan Chase that used to be neither transnational nor transfunctional? Just like local crimes gangs = terror. -
@emptywheel No, I'm speaking of JP Morgan that helped build the interstate railroad while getting rich & then reeled in by anti-trust laws -
@Kat_Missouri Oh. So you ARE discussing something that is not a TCO, like comparing a neighborhood gang to Al Qaeda. Glad that's clear. - 2 more replies
