    Apparently Dinesh D'Souza recently wrote a book about socialism and from what I can gather, he gets it as hilariously wrong as he gets everything else. According to him Liz Warren is part of the socialist vanguard in America, and the "socialism" of Norway only works because they're homogeneous.

        Why ((()))? I don't think the implication is that they're Jewish..?

            Oh wow I clearly haven't gone deep enough down the rabbit hole. TIL.

            Are the echo marks used by leftists to mark general dog whistles nowadays? (I do linguistics lol, the spread of ((())) is bizarrely fascinating to me.)

        It’s only because they’re white and speak a funny language isn’t really a convincing argument against.

        Unfortunately, it is for racists and "casual" racists. I came back to my family bc of the pandemic and was very surprised how casually racist my parents are.

        I haven't read it but from what I gather in reviews, yes, he says it works. But he says that Bernie Sanders and Liz Warren (I think he adds DeBlasio and Mayo Pete in there) want to turn the US into Venezuela, not Norway. And it looks like it gets prrrrretty racist from there...
