The framing of this article resonates with me. Not the "weridos" thing, which feels like an attempt at a populist rallying cry. But rather the two camps and what they're aiming for.

The problem is that it seems isomorphic to modern politics. In one camp you have the builders (of regulatory structure) - in charge through soft social skills (political connections), inherently framing issues in ways that benefit themselves and their circles (regulatory capture). And in the other camp you have the destroyers pushing to prevent and eliminate regulatory structures (their power being pure money), so they can remain unhindered while building their own privately-controlled structures that become de facto inescapable without even a shred of democratic accountability.

Neither one of these camps effectively gives one flying fuck about the things that affect most people, beyond putting on shows pretending to champion those concerns to market themselves. But how the Hell do we break out of this? Any movement that manages to gain traction inevitably seems to be co-opted by opportunists who then arbitrage away any political capital that has built up around the issues, and we take the fast slide back down to the starting place.
