Mercer move

Well, this account is friendly to Mercer, but makes it clear that Mercer, above all, is terrified of appearing to be out of the "mainstream." Vox Day was clearer about it--Mercer is a standard libertarian conservative, for whom charges of "racism" are like garlic cloves to a vampire. Pretty much like the Kochs, I suppose, although without the open borders fanaticism. We'll see if his daughter (I saw a reference to "daughters" somewhere, so maybe there are two) is any better.

That's chump change these days, isn't it? Without a billion can you even be a player?

Anyway, your broader point, that the proper patron must have the right resentments, is certainly taken.
