Adaptive groups use their cabals to feed peers grift

 I think a good way to analyze future political machinations is in terms of biological evolution, specifically multi-level gene-culture evolution.  For example, when you're looking at the future of Qanon groups vs ANTIFA groups, look to see how each is able or unable to provide adaptive benefits for their members. ANTIFA mbembership gets you free bail, free lawyers and bonus points for Critical Theory university jobs and a host of Left wing activist groups. Qanon gets you.... a jobless future with no social media presence or big tech commerce allowed.  


Because that's hard to believe, just think how The Weather Underground terrorists have fared over time...


Another nice way to look at this is in term of intra-elite competition. Politicians need to give back to their donors. That's why recent Pork stimuli were so nice for everyone (aside from commoners). Here's how it looks once it gets operationalized under law.  Law precludes accusations of grift. It's a brilliant evolutionary strategy. It also explains why the right is fairing so poorly in culture war stuff. The left chose to go after prosecutorial power and bend rule of law to favour the "right" identities. The right's only fight was to say "all lives equal". That's been a losing cause. Rationally, it shouldn't have been. But evolutionarily, it's really easy to see why it is almost impossible to win.


The order reverses…

… a DOJ policy put in place by Attorney General Jeff Sessions which prohibited provisions in settlement agreements in civil litigation that directed the opposing party to pay the money from the settlement to some third-party interest group…

A politicized DOJ commands its victims to cough up money not to the US Treasury, but to left-wing activists. This practice became common under the Obama Regime.

The government would bring a civil action against some offending corporation, and then offer the corporation an opportunity to settle the dispute with a condition that required the corporation to pay some or all of the settlement money to a third party designated by the government.

A prime example of how this worked…

…was the 2014 settlement of claims against Bank of America relating to the 2008 mortgage fraud crisis. Out of the total of $17 billion DOJ required BofA to pay, nearly $7 billion went to left-wing activist groups associated with Democrat party special interests.

Bad times lay ahead for regular Americans, but not for radical moonbats.

The Biden Administration — before there is even a new Attorney General — has decided to resurrect that old grift in order to get the spigot of money turned back on for left-wing interest groups who look to the Justice Department to be their collection agency.
