Elitism is good, and I think anti-elitist discourse is childish. Of course all societies need elites, by virtue of their superior intelligence, strength, bravery, moral values, and so on. But what’s going on here is that we’re being ruled by the stupidest people on the fucking planet. That’s what hurts.

The problem is, they’re too stupid to voluntarily let go of the levers. And that’s how you get bloody revolutions. It *is* possible to do the necessary land/resource redistribution etc. peacefully… but no. Ain’t gonna happen that way.

I don’t want to even think about how white supremacist the whole thing probably was.
Progress is soooo slow…..

“The Line” has got to be the stupidest project I’ve ever heard of…. it sounds like something rejected from a comedy show….

MBS is apparently liberalizing the country, which is upsetting a lot of muslims.
