Donald Trump’s new security directive labels anti-capitalist beliefs as a predictor of political violence. The irony: left-wing structural analysis actually pushes people away from lone-wolf attacks and toward mass organizing for change.

    Okay, now it’s Nineteen Eighty-Four. With hints of Minority Report, Fahrenheit 451, Brazil, and our old friend Idiocracy, of course.

      I used to scoff at the comparison to Idiocracy but at this point I’d actually prefer that timeline.

        President Camacho cared about his people, recognized problems, and deferred to the knowledge of people he openly admitted were smarter than him to fix them.

        I would much prefer a Camacho over a Trump right about now.
