This is the most Derrida shit ever ah God I can't believe I just say things like this now
By the way, I cannot confirm that either of these stories are true but I am always down for a good Derrida story. I developed a complex relationship with his work in grad school that generally also involved a lot of drinking and crying
See also: Lacan, and I should feel the same way about Foucault but then I got, like, some weird Stockholm syndrome around his panopticon theory that caused me to cite him in all my papers instead

Remember? That whole QAnon actually being the Protocols of the Elders of Zion thing? Nazis? White supremacists and their disinformation campaigns? You think your friendly neighborhood debunkers do this shit because it's so relaxing and fun?
Global far-right power grabs? Remember how I've been talking about that? Now, what might rampant anti-Semitism have to do with global far-right power grabs and disinformation campaigns?? (I don't even know who I'm yelling at here, this story just made me want to yell lol)

"It’s not that America’s government is too big or small.... America’s level of social investment — that’s “government spending” in the false terms of the hard right — is the lowest of any modern society."

The article is way less depressing than the headline btw

Stop your messing around, time you straightened right out

Unfortunately, Matt, you have spent so much time lying that I'm not sure that you have any credibility left. The burden of proof is on you now. Otherwise, this just sounds like more weaponized lies. This is how it's going to be for you from here on out, I'm afraid.
You've made your bed, and you have no one to blame but yourself.
