Bracing myself for direct conversation I stand on an opposite corner. Lighting a cigarette I count 14 cctv cameras each adorning houses clad in stainless steel window bars. Paranoia as a narcissistic display of affluence.

I know bsky loathes Tom Nichols, but I always thought his insight that the MAGA types are bored of affluence was accurate. Owning a car dealership and a 2 acre McMansion is less exciting than being the revolutionary hero in your own real life movie.

And who are dependent on this recognition, for whom it's not an empty sign, and who are not super-rich in affluence. Not to mention potential sexism (would they not have mentioned some smooth poster boy of TED talk fame? Not sure!) It's a shitty practice, and it should at least be addressed openly.
