Re: The US 2008 Election thread
I think we should start a scandal saying McCain is a Fascist because his "[NAME] the [INSERT OCCUPATION] formula is an example of the Mussolini syndicalist state.
I'm so punk, I don't even take my leather jacket off when it catches fire. Which it does frequently, because of how fucking punk I am.

Even Francis Fukuyama is supporting Bill Ayres—I mean, Obama—for president. The Koran and Das Kapital for everyone!

One of the most ivory towered myopic arguments I've ever read.

Re: The US 2008 Election thread
Well, remember that a common phenomenon of academia is the appearance self-perpetuating bullshit vortices, where people who have never spent a moment of their adult lives outside of a University theorize and debate about issues they have never experienced firsthand.Dr. Medulla wrote:One of the most ivory towered myopic arguments I've ever read.

Re: The US 2008 Election thread
I think I've read/seen a few interviews where Fukuyama is fairly repentant about his End of History thesis. If nothing else, he comes off as a lot more thoughtful now than he did a decade ago.

Re: The US 2008 Election thread
He was one of the first (and few) neocons to publicly state, "We were wrong." There's some honour in that, I guess, albeit on a sliding scale.Flex wrote:I think I've read/seen a few interviews where Fukuyama is fairly repentant about his End of History thesis.
