    It’s the worst form of right wing authoritarianism. The terror is stochastic, the institutional violence is slow, the captains of industry are all in on it, the figureheads are interchangeable, and the dystopic aspects are distracting and soul numbing rather than providing a sense of being a hard-bitten underdog. There’s nobody you can kill, nothing to destroy that would end it, and all the people with the most credible alternative ideas will demand that you read a shitload of stuff and will still bicker and undercut each other rather than do it.
