If youโre a liberal journalist who helped a car wreck of a man become a fascist tool by giving him campaign advice and helping to kill negative press, how do you save face? (#nuzzi quotes pt 4)

Up now on your pod feeder: Sara Rose Caplan and I explore why trans people drive fascists bananas; fascism as a fear response to freedom and uncertainty; and why you canโt win arguments with bad-faith actors like Matt Walsh.

For all the worry about "destruction" of property right via "natural law" did nobody honestly say: "In Marx, personal use value is find (natural) but problems start with exchange value and rents?" Did they willfully ignore this?

Mamdaniโs charisma is realโbut charisma itself is value-neutral. From a cult studies POV, the panic some folks feel over possible betrayal isnโt as much about him as itโs about the institutional vacuum behind him.
