In an interview about Palantir's creeping involvement in the British state and the NHS, I told @prospectmagazine.co.uk: “Its business is death and destruction. This is not an organisation you want running the democratic jewel of the postwar period.”

Funniest part of this is that it was also outlined as part of the Biden postwar vision according to the reporting from July 2024. The way US policy is the dog that gets wagged by the tail is fascinating.

I assume none of the denafizication experts from postwar Germany are still around, and de-Baathification was a fiasco, but surely there are some central Europeans with experience at tearing down Lenin statues still around who can advise the US at some point in the future.

Not necessarily, but we have a PROFOUNDLY skewed view of what, say, the 1950s and early 60s actually looked like. Postwar America was AWASH in "cheap"/"tacky" bright-colored consumer goods, foods, decor, etc marketed to the newly-prosperous suburban middle class precisely BECAUSE disposable income..
i wish it was possible to peer into the past to see if this hedonistic treadmill was as severe in past generations
like were people in the 1940s smugly talking about how the spread of electricity isn't good evidence of economic prosperity

Why do you think they’ve laid waste to the postwar international system? They’ve done it because if it still had any force, then the most important leaders in numerous white person countries would soon be serving decades in jail for knowingly abetting war crimes.

it's to protect traditional hierarchies of power and the wing of domestic capital that you can trace back generations, to C19 agrarian capitalists during reconstruction, to postwar Orange County Republicans, the church, and domestic manufacturing that was being rendered obsolete by neoliberalism

Regular folk might notice that we have smashed the postwar settlement trying to appease these people, laid waste to the public realm, made much of the country unlivably expensive for many people, all to try to make these cranks happy. But they’ll never be happy, as long as we exist and speak.
