The plutocrat as patriarch is on its way out.
They're not patriots, often they don't even believe in American exceptionalism or the future of the nation-state.But it's not the nation part they're interested in, only the state part. It is not people or flags that interest them, certainly not national identities or histories, only institutions. The state, regardless of borders or governments, as the great mother and father of mankind is the idea that compels their worship. Their philanthropic activity takes the form of floating pseudo-states that travel the world solving national problems and breaking up borders, and their foundations are obsessed with bulking up government and getting them to tackle one problem or another. -- Sultan Knish a blog by Daniel Greenfield
