    It’s all the same tribalist grift. See Dan Olsen’s “Building A Flat Earth” and Innuendo Studios’s’s’ “Endnote: the Origins of Conservatism.” We’re dealing with people who figure someone’s got to be king, and don’t mean things when they say words. They only understand the world in terms of interpersonal trust. Like there’s some innate total hierarchy, for everything, where being higher up means you get the power to decide what’s real.

    And they think that’s all you’re doing, because they think that’s all there is.
