Exploiters exploit power. Technocracy is eroding democracy as the primary life style.

Improbable then that less powerful countries, the low hanging fruit to the plunderers, will be brave enough, foolish enough, to eschew nuclear deference. Heaven help us.

Encountered this tedious, tendentious essay from one J.D. Vance in 2020, in which he says "My growing view is that too many American Catholics have failed to show proper deference to the papacy, treating the pope as a political figure to be criticized or praised according to their whims." lmao
