Pensamento em curso: «Em Portugal, a liberdade é muito difícil, sobretudo porque não temos liberais. Temos libertinos, demagogos ou ultramontanos
de todas as cores, mas pessoas que compreendam a dimensão profunda da liberdade já reparei que há muito poucas.

Did you guess who wrote "Opioid of the Masses"? Believe It or Not!

A sort of follow-up to yesterday's post.

The article "Opioid of the Masses," in which the current POTUS is portrayed with great realism, was published by J.D. Vance, the current vice president, on July 4, 2016, in The Atlantic magazine, which in 2020 endorsed the Democratic presidential nominee, Joe Biden, in the presidential election. At that time, J. D. Vance had not yet been recruited by Peter Thiel - who had not yet discovered that the Antichrist was back  (*) - to be part of the administration that he and other technocrats, such as Elon Musk, would support to instill some rationality into the government in the short term and replace Donald Trump in the medium term, either through his resignation or in new elections.
