at least now countries subjected to imf nonsense know we actually believe all that austerity bullshit, as we are now demonstrating like some inexperienced escape artist drowning themselves

trump is really turning a big dial that says "tariffs" on it and ignoring screams from the audience like a contestant on the price is right

appeals to "first they came for..." will win nothing and no one, because we are a materially oriented culture totally alienated from the idea that civil society exists, much less that there are principles undergirding it

the idea that any significant portion of americans are ideological in any real sense is laughable, much less that they are liberal. we don't have an ideologically oriented system, it's all about tribal identities and cultural allegiances

there is no significant ideologically liberal population in this country. the democrats are a center right party representing the interests of the urban educated professional class

One reason why Trumpism has succeeded is that the right has come to recognize that the putative commitments many people have to liberalism are actually extremely thin and fake and, as far as elites are concerned, actually deployed instrumentally against constituencies the right also hates.

The defence spending commitment is a plan to spend a lot of money, with details of what it will achieve to follow.

A key aim is to not be invaded, but beyond that the details begin to waver.

How will Britain pay for higher military spending?

The defence budget is already a procurement disaster.
