Are we going to acknowledge that this kind of obscene accumulation of wealth, while some of Amazon’s employees are depending on food stamps, isn’t just unethical, but also pathological?
Peak Liberalism.
Every American (and Western) leader has an innate sympathy for authoritarian dictators. The West has always been comfortable dealing with the most brutal tyrants. They love them.
So what’s different here? The Koreans, both North and South want peace. The South elected a president who is dedicated to ending the war. Western liberals on the other hand are so fucked in the head that they actually want war. That’s why they fawn over every word of the Washington warhawks, a group that should be facing charges in the Hague rather than being given regular columns and TV spots.

‘Trumpian chaos is, in fact, undergirded by a comprehensible worldview, a number of experts have insisted. The Brookings Institution scholar (and frequent Atlantic contributor) Thomas Wright argued in a January 2016 essay that Trump’s views are both discernible and explicable. Wright, who published his analysis at a time when most everyone in the foreign-policy establishment considered Trump’s candidacy to be a farce, wrote that Trump loathes the liberal international order and would work against it as president; he wrote that Trump also dislikes America’s military alliances, and would work against them; he argued that Trump believes in his bones that the global economy is unfair to the U.S.; and, finally, he wrote that Trump has an innate sympathy for “authoritarian strongmen.”’

The famous Stanford Prison experiment was, uh, methodologically unsound.
Not Renaissance but Baroque.
The staid mannerism of Renaissance painting doesn’t have nearly enough lunging in it.
