Other than that, can't complain. Ironic that RAFO is shutting down at the same time: In wotmanias final days, if anyone had told me every conservative in the US would be singing the praises of JULIAN ASSANGE in 8 years time, I would have said they were delusional. Then again, if anyone had told me when I was a kid that US conservatives would someday be worshiping at the altar of a KGB officer, I would have said the same. Politics makes strange bedfellows indeed, because apparently a great many "conservatives" will eagerly sign on with even the Soviets just for the sake of screwing the Democrats. In the end, what we have learned—what they have revealed—is that they were always fine with gulags, genocide, murdering journalists and protesters in the streets and invading armies driving tanks over neighboring sovereign states: Publicly owned industries were the only "tyranny" the right really ever minded.

We are about to all get a harsh reminder that, contrary to revisionist history, the "merger of state and corporate power" is in no sense "leftist." Lucky we are part of the religious, ethnic and sexual majority, huh? Oh... well, enjoy the bed you made for all us to lie in then.
