      The ruling class explicitly set out to turn Americans into “perfect consumers”. They succeeded.

      These dumbest people on the planet aren’t a contemptible series of individual failures or an accident, they were grown in a lab.

      A system which cannot bear sober scrutiny must stupefy its subjects.
