Francis Fukuyama is a Son of a Bitch

Remember him, the "End of History" douchebag beloved of the American Right? Here's his take on the latest crisis. It seems America still has much to offer -- cause our greatest export is still ideas -- especially to those fools in Europe:

And while fewer non-Americans are likely to listen to our advice, many would still benefit from emulating certain aspects of the Reagan model. Not, certainly, financial-market deregulation. But in continental Europe, workers are still treated to long vacations, short working weeks, job guarantees and a host of other benefits that weaken their productivity and will not be financially sustainable.

How -- I mean, seriously, how -- can you possibly brag about having long working hours and no job security? And to the extent to which the right wing and their Democratic emulators buy into this shit -- and the fact that this is considered thoughtful commentary worthy of publication in a major public forum --

I don't even know how to finish that sentence. It's like a categorical admission of "We're completely fucking evil."

Yeah, this was pretty uncalled for! He just had to say something man-hating. But, in his defense, he has always been a complete arse.
