Reasons We Hate Hillary Clinton

[Grendel]

The big killer for her was her abundantly overt neurodegernative condition. You don't convict a dog for embezzlement, and you don't pretend a tapeworm-brain can be a schemer.

My hot take on this is that we should be electing politicians at least ten years below the current average age for high offices, at any cost. There's probably a time-bomb of un-neutralized amyloid prions building up in the water supply as we speak. I can't make heads or tails of whether #####DRUNF has anything similar, but that election made it abundantly clear that the true rot in the political superstructure is far above and beyond the scope of this little catfight of barely-dissimilar parties we dare liken to any meaningful duel of ideology.

Yes, but this won't happen because the ironic result of fascism is gerontocracy. If you merge state and corporate power, corporate leaders are almost never young, so the government will be full of old farts. People need a better imagination to end fascism and keep our government liberal, a techno-cultural imagination instead of pitting "disruptive" and "factual" technology against "gradual" and "unessential" culture. Culture is essential, and capabilities should be cultivated rather than only abstract values, though without abstract values, there can be nothing.

I still think liberalism didn't have to end this way and even if we go socialist we'd still be liberal because liberalism means Enlightenment ideals, democracy, free markets, and natural rights, all of which seem perfectly compatible with socialism also known as the workers owning the means of production. I'd say "the gig economy" is the inevitable tide of socialism. Ironically neoliberalism and neoconservatism aren't and can't be liberal in the original sense.
