Klingenstein and the Claremont Institute push a harder-edged rightwing politics, and he appeared in a series of videos released in 2022 where he argued that American conservatives are in a "cold civil war" with "woke communists", and that "education, corporate media, entertainment, big business, big tech... together with the government function as a totalitarian regime".What's amusing about such blather is that many of his billionaire brethren spend a shitload of their moolah engaging in sportswashing, which practice Saudi has taken to a new level and visibility. At least in the USofA (and, it appears, the UK as well at least), professional sport leagues engage in very explicit, very aggressive 'communism' in the form of draft lotteries, salary caps (for players, only, of course), luxury tax (oohhh!!) and the like all in the quest for 'balance' among the various teams; make sure the playing field is level (well, really; tilted to aid the incompetent) so even a shitty team can win soon. One of the stated excuses for this communist ideology is that 'large market' teams would dominate the sport if left unchecked, destroy the 'small market' teams due solely to having more moolah. That's Communism with a capital K. Given that billionaires (almost?) universally got their moolah just by destroying their small fish brethren.
Sauce, geese, ganders. Well, all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.How many professional teams are owned by billionaires? A lot.
Of course, Steve Cohen is the counterargument to the jibe from the RRW: "If you're so smart, why ain't you rich?" Batshit J. Moron is, of course, the legacy method. Money and brains don't have a high correlation.
