Flip you around and you'd make a pretty passable Taiwan! (Image from this Reddit post, which is apparently a repost of a Tweet www.reddit.com/r/taiwan/com... )

A country where government officials can say, believe, and behave like this, and aren't immediately smacked down hard enough by reality.

![Tumblr post by dostoyevsky-official quoting an NYT article: "The [George W. Bush] aide said that guys like me were 'in what we call the reality-based community,' which he defined as people who 'believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernable reality.' I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me off. 'That's not the way the world really works anymore,' he continued. 'We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality -- judiciously, as you will -- we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors... and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do."

It's kinda sad that I feel like "having conversations with people firmly entrenched on opposing sides of the Balkanized Left" has become a surprisingly radical act. If we can't even fucking talk to each other, then how tf do you expect to talk to *anyone else* in order to build a mass movement?
