The irony of Olbermann using X to call for the arrest of the owner if X is just too delicious 😂. Like most prominent leftists, his self awareness value is in the negative number range

I think there's a very real, as in not joking in the slightest, that KO lost pressure in his tires awhile back. I think it's plausible he may have cranked things up intentionally to get clicks but still...

I don't know, and more importantly, don't care. I try to limit my grievances to things like Kroger not having any freaking orange juice on the shelves. Just got back from there. I had to go into the back cooler and get one off one of the two pallets of it they had, but were too F'ing lazy to put out on the shelves

The thing the left doesn’t recognize is the close linkage between the state and big business. We conservatives usually call democrats communists. But pure communism has the state owning the means of production. Under fascism, the one party state has a very cozy relationship with biggest companies. The state selects the winners among big businesses based on who supports the regime most faithfully and gives sweetheart deals to those companies. The state in turn uses its power to crush the smaller competitors of those companies and to protect their monopoly. There is a reason IG Farben, Volkswagen, and Krupp all prospered under Nazism.
And that is exactly what the American uniparty does in regards to America‘s biggest multinationals and tech giants (and why Musk got blackballed).
So I feel the modern American left is actually much closer to fascism than communism, especially when you factor in their penchant for censorship and legal persecution of opponents.

There are certainly some similarities but I dont believe that the corporatism is solely the province of the left. Imo, the reason we’re not fascist is we’re missing communism, a national strongman (we’re an oligarchy) and some sort of national unity. Fascism probably died with Franco or Pinochet. It’s not something that exists now. I think what exists now is more of a global elite oligarchy that is not bound by national borders.
