>you are ruled a gigantic globalist ass-rape machine whose only mission in life is to prevent you from thinking, and thus to liquidate ALL intellectuals.
I don't really disagree, but I think it's more fair to say that the "globalist mechanism" fixes to stop thought only in the cognizance of desires/needs, because if you reach a point where you can effectively address your *actual needs* and your material desires terminate, growth levels out and you cannot be seduced with an excess of new and novel graphic tees, gadgets or corn puffs. Their ideal "consumer" isn't a purely braindead idiot - the sophistication of globalism requires PhDs as much as it requires menial wage-slaves - it's a person without roots and whose fundamental, concrete needs have become irreconcilably forgotten to be filled with fungible and easily marketed, ephemeral wants. Someone who has lost their home, community, spirituality, their identity, and most importantly has no connection to the original forms of these, has no choice but to buy what they're glibly told will fill these abstract holes they feel in themselves.

Your comments about paleocons make me want to go on about Buckley and how he's unfortunately given way to irreligious randroids and populists but I think I've said enough
