The Moral Compass of a Neoliberal.

I mean, the title says it all: Mao fangirl is now a senior advisor for Biden.

One of her favorite political philosophers killed forty five million human beings.

To be fair, those Chinese were backwards rural types--literal peasants.

If they wanted food, they should have thought of that before they chose the career path.

In any event, the destroyed were definitely not well-connected members of consulting and mergers/acquisition firms who cozy up to the ruling party

Still, it's nice to know what kind of murderousness is acceptable in polite company.

Maybe we'll see the Mao ornament return to the White House Christmas tree in 2021, too!

And I suppose we have a little data on how tough Uncle Joe's new management is going to be on Red Chinese trade chicanery, too.

  1. Likely not a good appointee. It would be like Mr Trump's connections with white supremacists. If they both stepped down today without further fanfare, it would be a goo deal as far as I'm concerned.

      Thanks for another malicious fantasy. Always an education.

    2. He did say some were "Very fine people." That seems about the same to most anyone listening in on this stuff. Has nothing to do with malice or fantasy.

    3. Again, repeating nonsense memes does not make them true. Mrs. McClarey tells you what he did say (not that you have any excuses on that point) and I'll point out that you do not have 'connections' to people on whom you merely comment.

  3. “Excuse me, they didn’t put themselves down as neo-Nazis, and you had some very bad people in that group. But you also had people that were very fine people on both sides. You had people in that group – excuse me, excuse me, I saw the same pictures you did. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name.”

    After another question at that press conference, Trump became even more explicit:

    “I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and white nationalists because they should be condemned totally.”

    This is liberal discourse in our time.

  6. Sounds mostly the same as a person who uttered Mother Teresa and Mao Zedong in the same breath. I'm sure there's a context for the appointee as well. Nobody said anything about neo-Nazis. It's white supremacy--not quite the same thing. The latter is cultural in its roots, the former mostly a political outlook.

Be reasonably civil. Ire alloyed with reason is fine. But slagging the host gets you the banhammer.
