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

    Unless they are gathering in dimly lit rooms and saying "we are doing capitalism", it's not real capitalism

      I would say that this is similar to how american liberals don't believe in any form of racism besides someone screaming the n word while using klan robes, but I am not convinced that these think tank ghouls believe in anything besides filling their pockets

      they’re not lobbying in behalf of capitalism

      But they literally are lol. 95% of the politicians and organizations they support denounce communism and champion capitalism, using the word capitalism. The remaining 5% are explicitly fascist.

      That’s like me paying a bunch of money to a chef and saying “I actually don’t have a ‘personal chef’ per se. He just assembles an assortment of raw ingredients to create an elaborate source of sustenance.”

        Literally liberalism in a nutshell, except they wouldn’t be this honest
