Dana WilliamsIf anyone's looking for an excellent biography or critical evaluation of the work of #sociologist C. Wright Mills (author of The #PowerElite, Causes of World War 3, etc.), I highly recommend #StanleyAronowitz's Taking It Big: C. Wright Mills & the Making of Political #Intellectuals.
It assesses Mills's major works & how he continuously worked to make public interventions, during a repressive political era in the US (1940s & 1950s), at odds w/ the Stalinist left & liberal apologists. #reading

Love this word, "dork" used as a verb.
The #BidenEmails highlight how these #powerElite come off looking like #crude #thugs because that's what they are. Brutal #fascist thugs with #privateArmies.
Have you seen JFK to 911: Rich Man's Trick? The narrator is an magnificent genius.
Maybe this whole #surveillanceState thing can be made to work in reverse. A big maybe. People would have to *want* to fight the #oligarchs. Ugh.
@sean @alex
To what extent are #powerElite now using #COVID to distract from their failures and divert attention to the "#SpreaderOther". And should those in power be held more to account for creating this situation in the first place?
