"The paranoid style in politics..."
"The paranoid style in politics and the paranoid style in entertainment are connected by the need for a simplified narrative that eliminates words and emphasises action…. The existence of the conspiracy reduces politics from a need for argument to a mere need for action to go stop the bad guys.... the simplified narrative of a conspiracy is used to escape the messy and inconvenient fact that other people actually disagree with you, and that you have to convince them."
We welcome thoughtful disagreement. But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me. PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
