Another disgrace rioter gets uncovered and it is a former Olympic swimming champion. After reading what this guy has gone through in recent years including homelessness then got back his life on track then makes me wonder if he didn't realize that storming into Capitol Hill with the mob was going to have some serious repercussions. Now his life is ruined again and he deserves it.

I have tried so hard to find this guy insightful and interesting, but it's mostly a bunch of fairly obvious observations dressed up with clever text designed to make him look smart and a lone savior (e.g., Magastan versus wokeistan, "peace-time cleptocrats", etc.); there are also false equivalences, such as claiming "woke" is as bad of a cult as Maga or Biden versus Trump, and a dose of subtle deep state and apocalyptic references, as if there are some dark actors who are pulling the strings behind the scenes that cause people to do what they do. This is what I would expect from a narcisistic physicist-turned-financier, as he favors a view of "master marionette" over more difficult to analyze micro-sociological processes. To me, explaining a lot of what is going on in the USA is not in the clouds, it's in the weeds.
