This contains a level of bias not befitting HN: A political article that presumes a governance of ‘baddies’ vs ‘goodies’. His analysis is not necessarily wrong, it’s only 50% complete. It wouldn’t be hard for him to complete it; fundamentally his ‘goodies’ operate in the same fashion as his ‘baddies’ (he just likes them more).
