CEOs looking around Earth: Yeah, this is a vibrant miracle of cosmic creation, but I'd be more excited if it was just solar-irradiated dust, that was really hard to get to.
This isn't an intelligent, mature observation, but the ultra-rich are high on their own farts.

So to return to this: Mussolini had 200,000 blackshirts for the March on Rome in a country of ~35m. Hitler had 400,000 brownshirts in 1932 in Germany for a population of ~60m.
So around 0.6% of the population.
0.6% of 340m Americans is just over 2 million.
They do not have enough goons.

In 1932, on the eve of seizing power, the Nazi goon army - the Sturmabteiling or SA - numbered 400,000 members. By 1933, it was over two *million.*
DHS has 240,00 employees and lot of those are non-goons who have, you know, real jobs.

To me it all feels like the 1980's bucket list of a sad, dying generation of cunty old men. They want some-sort of legacy even if it is the most stubbornly ignorant one of diminishing returns.

"the revolt of the bosses" is a good way of framing the elite reaction to woke 1. what's particularly interesting is that this isn't a reaction to an attack on profits--it's a reaction to changes in workplace culture--
which is to say, the psychic wage of hierarchy

I suspect that the revolt of the bosses element of all this really is explained by: a bunch of upper echelon Americans really didn't like the cultural and workplace changes induced by Woke era, some portion of them were pushed into internet insanity, but most just wanted a shift slightly right....

I'm not saying I have confidence Mamdani is gonna be a gamechanger. Maybe, maybe not, but symbols are important, and he is that much. Bernie and AOC once were too, and we know how that turned out. It's enough to scare the shit out of rich people for now, and that's fear that radicals can seize on.

The more rich people and politicians get scared, the more you know we're on track. They've been on a free ride for decades, and that ride depends on corporate welfare, poor wages, inadequate PTO, price gouging, lobbyists, and market manipulation. It's literally why 40 million people are on SNAP.

Fear is the key. No one is afraid of No Kings or Chuck Schumer. They're afraid of anarchists, socialists, and Zohran Mamdani because these things inherently threaten hegemony, and directly threaten it by taking action. A threat doesn't necessarily mean violence, but it does require confrontation.

European negotiators were personally targeted by their American counterparts during a brutal negotiation over green shipping rules, European Commission officials told POLITICO.
This highly unusual gambit left diplomats shaken after the meeting.
