When someone finally invents a sustainable AI bot that runs on Albanian Washing-Claret rather than electricity, I believe it will post in much the same style as your good self 
Lovely work, keep it up

As much as it’s convenient to think all Trump supporters are mental bastards it’s simply not the case. A huge proportion of working class Americans think he is the man to change the status quo.

I think a major mistake that Europeans make is thinking that Americans generally are just like us.

Europeans are very cosseted by government. Americans are very self sufficient and don’t want government involved in their day to day lives.
Thank you. Since rational inquiry has failed to sway the idea that submission to authoritarianism equates with freedom, it is essential to pursue more arcane theories to attempt to explain their behaviour.
Yes, they are cunts

As an aside, Steve Silberman appears to be an all round excellent human being. Followed him for a very long time on Twitter, and he seems awesome.

Symptom rather than cause? Will give my Penguin Collected Freud a good rummaging.
Politics attracts the wrong people like flies to a turd - capable egomaniacs, thick egomanics, messianic zealots, extremists, racists, sexists, homophobes… bigots of every stripe; capital-B-Believers, sociopathic misanthropes, mountebanks, thieves, usurers, deviants, talentless attention-whores, and those who just want to be the driver of the gravy train.
Grouping them all under “Cunts” makes the whole thing less verbose.
By-the-bye, it also attracts decent people who want to do their best for wider society.
Obviously those are weeded-out and eradicated at an early stage.

mountbank I had to llok uo, I like that one.
Userer i know, assume this is in the form of a twice, even thrice, removed cockney slang, good effort if so.
Bill S: “…the usurer hangs the cozener…” - i.e. the loan-shark crime-boss magistrate hangs the petty thief who steals to eat.
Usury is very old word.
There was a Usury act in English law in the 15th Century
I’ll see your 500 and raise you 1500…
…didn’t Jebus get into a strop when he saw the usurers in the temple?
Even further back than that I think. It was a sin for Christians but Jews weren’t forbidden to do it. So countries would allow Jewish communities to establish themselves for the purposes of enabling commerce. Then when they’d lent you enough money you’d organise an uprising on some trumped-up religious ground and massacre them, conveniently destroying all your IOUs that they held in the process
Sure, it was just an example not a etymological historical definition
My point was it does not have its roots in Cockney Rhyming Slang
This is going well
