Rhyd, could you give examples of what you say about the right? Don't the supposedly left democrats have massive corporate connections with defense,, media and tech? How are religious fanatics hurting people? Don't the democrats have more financiers lening towrds them?
For the 'new' right, especially there's Peter Thiel (founder of PayPal). He's been funding a lot of right-journals and cultural projects for the last few years, and is becoming pretty much the George Soros of the right. And of course for the general right, there's always been the Koch brothers and multiple foundations funding journals, blogs, and activists.
Thanks for your response! Thiel gives me the willies, especially with Palantir, but the whole transhumanism thing speaks to rich people who want to dominate forever. It shouldn't be an option. As for the Kochs, I think small govt is a necessary defense against govt power. I don't begrudge money to people in need, I begrudge it to the crony capitalists.
