to the nature of any final deal, as long as one was done. When you as a trade expert are tired of hearing about it is when the point first becomes salient with the public.

Actually, it's important that what "goes without saying" here is actually said, and not arrogantly dismissed as moral purity or mindless virtue signalling. Giving wind to unsound policy, as you should know, is how much of the post-Brexit discourse played out, and left public eventually apathetic...

What was the name of his improv team?

Kanye?

I wouldn't characterize Lynch *solely* as a conservative (in the above sense) film maker. There are more ways to view his work. But I think it's wrong to say this aspect of his work doesn't exist. (Though also wrong to claim it validates or advocates for a modern political tendency.) 7/7

Maybe, in fact, Dune is such a story: there are protagonists and antagonists, but no one is truly a force for good, only agents acting in their own interests or some divine plan that will kill billions (even the Fremen, though isolationist, seem somewhat morally grey).

The question then is, what is an "anti-conservative" film by this standard? I'm not 100% sure, because to a certain extent many stories anchor themselves to a sense of good/evil, even if the characters aren't openly depicted that way. 5/

The problem is that "conservatism" has become associated (through those who claim its mantle) with a reactionary clinging to the rigid institutions of society that mask the darkness underneath, while its antithesis (let's call it "liberalism") is about tearing up the rotten wood to build a safer 4/

image of white picket fences etc. is a hypocritical facade that hides a sinister and brutal world of abuse and horror.

But I think that very stark contrast of rapacious evil with the goodness and kindness of his hero-figures (even if they are not "right-wing") is a central part of a world-view 2/

Congratulations Ali! To dare is to do!

Need to change "they" to "it" and "big" to "major".

You almost could not have phrased/written this in a way that is more discordant to the ear of someone from the UK.

if we just let it happen it will somehow resolve all our political problems by improving our material conditions. The history of the 21 century so far shows otherwise.

The attitude to consumers and workers seems to be "shut up and take it", while regulation of policies like de minimis by govts is irrational and dumb because it's restricting "what consumers want". Trade is a net positive for the world but a lot of its advocates imply directly or indirectly that ...

Might include "mandate of heaven" as part of the epithet ...
