    It’s less a sneaky trick and more a condition imposed on us by political circumstance. “I can’t really tell you my ideological affiliation because I’m afraid you’re allergic to it” isn’t a good sign for your chances at persuasion.

    Even then, words are wind.

    I’m much less concerned with the professed views of this or that terminally online trillionaire gooner internet celebrity than I am with what said gooner is currently ordering his gooner gang to do to the US Treasury system. If he was running around in a Che Guevera T-shirt while he ripped the copper wiring out of the federal government, it wouldn’t make me feel any different.
