      It doesn't matter though. He could post a picture of himself with poo poo pants and one of those cool Kanye shirts and his "fans" wouldn't remember it the next day. Everyone wants to talk about how the internet is spying on us but nobody wants to talk about what it does to our attention span.

      Point 5 is directed at the anti-emigration right I think. If you want to stay the premier super power you need to be able to exploit the labor of emigrants, ergo you can’t have your ethnostate and eat it too. Although these ideas are perfectly compatible in an apartheid state, so maybe a good idea for his next book.

      Just think of all the new slaves the prison system could have if there were a billion Americans though! It would be amazing for the economy.

        I feel like if you don't use the negotiations of power definition, you wind up having a very... Hazy understanding of politics. Like, you imagine that its to do with parliament adjusting the fuel excise tax policy 3 years from now to encourage lower emissions, and an endless debate around that and other equally boring (and ineffective) things.
