Sentences to ponder, Mencius Moldbug coronavirus edition

“Anyone repeating lines like “the Trump administration has failed” is spreading an Orwellian lie. There is no “Trump administration.” There is an elected showman and his cronies, fronting for an unaccountable permanent government. The celebrities are neither in charge of the bureaucrats, nor deserve to be. Anyone can be excused for thinking either team is worse than the other. No one can be excused for confusing the two.”

That is from Mencius Moldbug, on the coronavirus, interesting throughout, though some of it quite off base I think.
