Yet another perspicacious article Arielle! I enjoyed the parallels between the nomenklatura and the modern democrats. Always enjoy reading your articles, please keep them coming...
Do you also notice a trend where people are starting to come together against the ultra-rich and powerful, rather than just against each other? Like leftists who are bored with wokeism or rightists who think extreme conservatism is tired are all uniting against political corruption on whatever side, or against "evil CEOs"
Also, did you notice that Mangione's lawyer shares your last name? I think you should look into that
That's a really good point. Definitely part of the positive reception to Mangione has had to do with his choice of target: a wealthy CEO in an unpopular industry. I agree there's a trend on both sides in that regard.
Perhaps Manione's lawyer and I... are secretly the same person.
A lot to think about here. What are you thoughts about the Luigi Mangione case? Of course the whole system needs reform, but I am shocked to see people cheering on a murderer and glorifying the murder of another human.
I think the case is pretty telling. A lot of people are feeling powerless, and in that state violence seems more appealing... there's an element of, "if I can't fix the problem at least I'll pay them back for what they've done."

Thanks Peter! I enjoyed them too, the parallels were more striking than I expected

Fascinating article. Well done! I'm curious if you plan to follow-up with 3 Visions for Rightism and 3 Visions for Centrism
Thanks Alex! I don't have such plans at the moment, but it's not a bad idea!

Oh great... are you telling me there will be a wave of Luigi Mangione "he's literally me" Sigma Male TikTok edits? Fun.
Great article!
I'm imagining the "choose a button" guy and on one side there's political assassinations and on the other bed rotting.
