Fact that “Actually rich people love diversity” became the cynical contrarian take demonstrates how poorly contrarianism works in explaining the world.
My condottieri have betrayed me!!! Me, their wicked paymaster! All for the mere crime of not lining their pockets with enough silver to carry out my campaign of wanton destruction!!
Now they are in league with my enemies, and preparing to march on my holdfasts!!! Egads!!!
DDoS is such a boring attack, why bother. Look at me, using a bunch of computers to make yours kinda slow, ooOooOO
Hegseth wants so badly to be ~the guy~ who makes Christian Military a thing and it's all coming unglued.

People who have never heard of the Scissors Crisis or the Declaration of 46 love to make accusations about what the Bolsheviks were up to after the revolution. Getting a big brush in 1933 and painting backwards.
Rod Dreher posting from Austria that Hungary was only ever a deformed fascist theocracy, worthy of support against Woke Imperialism but unable to resolve its internal contradictions.
Federalist Society ironically running into problems that normally happen to Communist Parties: your ideological project starts to become successful, attracting a bunch of ambitious opportunists in it for the power and connections, leading to corruption and decay on the ideological front.

I've been telling Tomi Lahren for years that she's too controversial to have an athleisure line, I can't believe she's blowing off my advice like this.
Much hubbub about Magyar's win, whether it is a win for "The Left" or merely a return to centrist-neoliberalism. Time will tell, but nationalizing a bunch of assets as an opening move is at least an indication that centrist-neoliberalism is getting interesting.
