—“One is constantly thrown back on this problem of persecution of the productive minority. Been thinking about it all day. They always come after you. I read somewhere recently, maybe on your blog, maybe not, the argument that the elites love this persecution because it’s an engine of economic activity: The productive must constantly spend in order to protect themselves from the incursion of the hordes (mostly by moving but also by status signaling and private schools etc etc).”— Michael Churchill
