I’m currently wandering through Desolation Wildnerness with my father, so Exolymph is on hold. Here’s an article suggestion for the end of your week — “The Twin Insurgency” by Nils Gilman:
“Note that, conceptually, plutocratic insurgencies differ from kleptocracies; the latter use the institutions of state to loot the population, whereas the former wish to neutralize those institutions in order to facilitate private-sector looting. […] As these public services deteriorate in quality, the result is a self-reinforcing cycle whereby plutocratic insurgents increasingly see no reason to contribute anything to their host societies and, indeed, actively contest the idea that citizenship comes with economic responsibilities.”
