    I really feel like some palladium mag writers saw that WEF cheque and have been spinning a big wheel of topics to keep those cheques coming

      What’s Palladium’s background? All I know is they put out solid analysis of state power.

        Last I checked they're part of some research group for the WEF. Which means it's a well-researched, great resource, if lib at times.

          The weird thing is, it doesn’t seem to have lib takes. I know at least one of the writers is an ardent anti communist, but the analysis is pretty consistently materialist.

            Don't confuse a smart liberal for a materialist. There's a difference between Kissinger being great at understanding geopolitics, and being great at understanding historical materialism.
