The Sage Garden: Part Deux

[Anti Democrat Democrat Club]

(insert definition of sage here)

Is this a belated April Fools prank?

It does seem that while we were distracted in the Great War sacrificing countless for no apparent reason, central banks consolidated power.  Nobody else won.  If only they benefit from it...they would logically be the ones who want it the most.

Really Al and Averroes?  Tell me what it was all about then.  Some spoiled archduke in Serbia?  

It couldn't be about throwing off old empires and dividing up the spoils from a new, centralized, global position of power...no...no...what a joke.  Worth dismissing as an April fools joke...

Power and money don't consolidate themselves.  The people who literally make the money make that happen.  They did very well by WWI.

But no... in the very cluttered minds of Al and Averroes...
It must've been very complex and handwavey so that only Al and Averroes understand...and in their confidence they can just mock everyone else.

We're all individuals, and the only chance any of us have is to look after ourselves and our immediate situation and try to make a functioning life out of the circumstances we find ourselves in. Thatcher was generally wrong, but she was right about one thing - there really is no such thing as Society. It's a meaningless abstraction that we'd do well to liberate ourselves from.

Your inclusion of this is more sage than Oakvale's post.

A bit unfair. It was a very sage post. Vintage sage.

An apt term directed against our Hedonistic Whiggish elite who thinks the current brand of secular humanistic atomistic individualism and neoliberal economics is the cutting edge wave of human history.

Literally sounds like a Snowstalker blubb.

Speaking of this...



I can't read an academic article published by Sage Publications without thinking about this forum.

I guess it's time to vote for Hillary, but even her path isn't guaranteed.

I just can't do that

There are times when one has to sacrifice the country.

Fixed that for you.
