Two diametrically opposed groups of people, operating under two totally different definitions of “the enemy,” cannot unite in any meaningful sense.

    This is very funny coming from the news outlet that has Chris Hedges as one of their most prominent hosts, like the right and left can unite to take on antiwar, but not the elites. I know this is from Adam Johnson and not Chris Hedges, but to go on a news network that Hedges is a prominent member of and not bring up that he does this exact thing, is not very citations-needed

    Matt Stoller is, as far as I can tell, a libertarian economist with the typical libertarian brainworm-induced fantasy that capitalism would be better if there was more competition. I don’t think there’s really much point in trying to analyze him any further than that. He even states in the tweet that this whole article is about that the “left” and the “right” have different reasons for wanting the same thing to happen. He doesn’t really give a shit what those reasons are, he has his reasons for wanting it too and he’s just happy to see it happen.

    I’d unite with the right to oppose the elite ot would just require them to fundamentally change basically everything from their beliefs to their daily routine, namely not being a person who would gladly gun down minorities to protect corporate profits.
