A couple of years ago I listened to an interview with Karen Elliott House, a top CFR/Rand Corp/Dow Jones/WSJ type who wrote a book on Saudi Arabia. The book (published in 2013) seemed like it emerged from a recognition that the Saudi leadership had decayed into a gerontocracy, and the empire needed to restructure its satrap kingdom. The publisher's description notes one purpose of the book was to explore what Saudi Arabia's "longtime American protector can do to help shape the Saudi future." I don't think the book mentioned bonesaws. But during the interview she was asked "so you've worked as a journalist in Saudi Arabia for two decades... was it difficult to establish relationships with these Saudi royals, being a woman?" And she said, nah, in fact it was pretty easy because I grew up in East Texas

Idgi, what does she think the end goal is here? Is she pro capitalist now?

I'm imagining fast forwarding to 2030 and Kahina is a mild mannered centrist, writing for Vox, working at a think tank. That nice Ms. Klein, the neighbors call. She serves on various committees, and wishes she had drowned

well you see, china is communist, which is bad and outdated, this is why china is failing compared to everyone else, which should not be confused with the reason why china is succeeding, which is capitalism, which china is, but not the good capitalism, but bad capitalist communism, which is cheating, which is not allowed according to capitalism which china isnt, they are communist, which doesnt work

communism, how passe. get your head out of the 19th century, you rubes.

to illustrate the folly of your ways, i will use 18th-century economic arguments and 17th-century philosophical tenets to defend the structure of capital, a concept rooted in the commerce of the city-states of 13th-century Italy,

you know, we live in chaotic times, it's hard to keep up with the breakneck pace of constantly updating news mixed media, taxing on the brain to sift through all the noise figuring out what's real. everything changes too fast

but there's something strangely reassuring about stupid shit like this. it hearkens back to the simpler times of the bush years. the familiar solidity of pure straight bullshit, so divorced from reality it can't even properly qualify as a lie. i realize that i miss it, that easy uncomplicated certainty.
