Nothing does more to enrich and concentrate more power in the very few than two major issues:

Liberal interventionism, of which Neoconservatism is a certain subset (in clear academic terms), does so much more to allow big corporations and activist organizations to run the world than Trump's vision.  Why have international corporations…Read more

I don't see what's wrong with most of those quotes.  He boasts about being a successful businessman capable of screwing people over.  This is what so many of his supporters, including me, believe happens pretty often in business in general.  He's just being honest about it.  And people appreciated that honesty over the fakery of our pol…Read more

He poses a threat to many of their Establishment priorities, and so they have reasons to try to prevent him from succeeding.

@animal

I can see what you mean about how it is like a reverse process for both of us.  My Ni starts with a central idea and tests its integrity and ability to place itself in the center of reality and life, while your Se starts with the kaleidoscope of reality and life and gradually starts to appear as a unified whole.
