Exceptalism or decline.That is the choice. Maybe too late but can we gather forces to return social cohesion?Close the divide.

Yeah, this is not a good look for anyone.

Exceptalism is a perfectly cromulent word.
I'm sure his concept of social cohesion is lovely. Why would he want to return it.
Murdoch tweets in a lotus position, incense rising around him, in front of a rock garden. When he clicks "tweet" one of his adepts bangs a gong.
I don't understand it. Will you guys please explain, is it like, he wants the little people to stop complaining?
How exactly could things get one whit better for this guy.
Maybe we could return social cohesion if the very rich people who mostly run the country participated in the same social institutions as the rest of us? That sure would be exceptalist! Just a thought.
How many declines are the result of choice, I wonder?
OH! So he's a spambot! That explains so much.
His tweets are hilariously incoherent, I love that he writes them himself. Earlier yesterday he tweeted "I have nothing to do with Sky News" with no context, it cracked me up for some reason.
It makes some sense if he meant "Acceptalism. SERENITY NOW." "God, please allow me to accept that which I can not purchase out right, due to meddling ant-trust legislation..."
My guess is that the social cohesion reference is to Charles Murray's latest tome "Coming Apart" which is all the rage among right wing deep thinkers this week.
Way to go, Siri.
Should have read: "Accept a lissom or a Deke line. That's me moist. Maybe two late but can we gather forces to return Social Cohesion? Clothes, the dvd?"
most of it makes sense in context. "Social Cohesion" was the Australian release title for The Social Network. Likewise "Clothes" was their title for The Devil Wears Prada. And as you all know our antipodean cousins have an unfortunate tendency to pronounce dvd as though it were a word. A Deke line is obviously a v-neck or something.
"Gather forces" on the other hand is just batshit insane. Someone get the cow-hammer and put gramps out of his misery.
Now there is a man who's committed himself to transcribing the Dr. Bronner soap labels one tweet at a time.
@melis Oh, that really would be a great Twitter feed. Always meant to finish reading that, but it's a lot to take in in bottle-label format, you know?
Looks like someone read the new Charles Murray book. He's like the Michael Pollan for right-wingers.
