This is not a diary, since I don’t have much right now that I think needs to be added to a tweet storm posted by David Rothkopf on what he terms “Asshole Culture.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Rothkopf

I wanted to bring attention to it here because I think it’s a typology that helps explain what we’re seeing in today’s politics (and much more), but also because I know that not all here are fans of the Twitter and so some might miss this insightful theory by a prominent political scientist.

I could have posted it here not using the tweet format, but I wanted to leave it in the form of tweets so that you might easily find the individual tweets on Twitter, should you feel inclined to “like” or comment on them. Enjoy!

Ex, "Despite their sense they are the heirs of America, raised to take the reins of power, of course it is their moral and ethical emptiness and their greed and ambition that has corroded what's best about the country and led to institutionalized inequality & corruption of today."
