The think tank bros are not okay. Props to this dumbass retweeting all the people calling him a fucking idiot though. Good bit.

    Like this has got to be case in point of a generation raised on media who can only relate to politics through spectacle and aesthetics.....right? I'm coming up short on analogies but this is like the equivalent of wondering why UFC fights don't look like marvel movie action pieces or some shit. Like guess what kids: in real life oligarchs and business interests don't meet in secret shadowy smoke filled rooms. They meet out in the open on million dollar yachts and pieces of property and they often televise everything openly.

    The real life truth is every bit as evil but its also infinitely more banal.
