I really like the concept in this article that the powers that be have no real attachment to any particular ideology, they're just tools to be used and discarded once they lose their usefulness.
It's like.... They're using the left, and it's terrible, but they'll use the right too, and it won't be better because whatever ideology they use it's actually about controlling people using whatever they can in the moment.
The entirety of people left of center are not completely insane, but it's more useful to use the insane nutjobs for 2 phase: first using them and their cultural power to dominate society, and once they've used up the last drop of their power, they'll be cast aside and the hatred towards them will be used as the next lever to dominate society and move onto the next thing. If that isn't exactly what we saw happening in the last cycle I don't know what is.
