SJWs are fighting over the dead carcass of the old world. The amount of damage they can do is fundamentally limited. The ethnonationalist right though, is threatening the living, growing thing. The amount of damage they can do is basically infinite. They might kill golden goose.
You guys seem to believe in a wall between corporate and political power that is mostly theory now. Most politicians have a stake in the Corp world now. There’s a degree of institutionalized coincidence of types of power. During trust-busting era that was weaker.

I think politicians are generally responsive to the anger of the voters. Killing the golden goose is definitely possible is as a result of said anger. I would not say it’s guaranteed, but there’s a serious anti-corporate streak in our politics today.

But this also goes back to the Hobbesian bit you mention. Achieve success in politics, afterwards get invited to the speaker circuit and corporate boards, regardless of ethnic in-grouping

That didn’t work out well for Hillary.
