Yes, just imagine Russia being one of the bastions of freedom in the XXIst century!

I know, right?

Clown world, where the capitalists turn commie and the commies turn capitalist.

Now that (((they))) have taken over the world, Asia will again become the center of power.

Well, not really. There is the second Foundation. I'm not going to say any more on the topic however.

I take it you're not talking about the new Foundation TV show based on the classic novel. I was keen to see it but now it's had mixed reviews.

It started off good, then had a couple "meh" episodes, then some good episodes where they started going off script, and then they made a wild turn into some unimaginable tangent that has little to do with the author's original work.

But yes, that is where the "Second Foundation" term comes from. It's been coined, so I use it, although it as a phenomenon, has nothing to do with anybody's science fiction writings.

I wished I'd known about the original book back when I read more.

I don't know if you're recommending it or not, but I think I'll try to watch it at some point because my knowledge of it in any media is basically zero.

Feel free to link me to Second Foundation stuff if you like, and/or nutshell explain briefly why you don't want to delve into it.

There is no link nor anything written about the actual "Second Foundation". But you can give them your phone number telepathically. If you are capable of telepathy. If you like, if you dare... Either way, I would recommend reading the books A LOT MORE than the TV thing.

I'd assumed you were alluding to something not found at.

No, I don't do telepathy, otherwise I'd have a hot girlfriend again.

It reminds me of how the democrats used to be the "racist" party and republicans were the party of abe lincoln.

I think a switch might happen again soon. I just saw Rubio say:

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) will call for Republicans to break up with Big Business when he addresses the National Conservatism Conference on Monday, Axios has learned.
