Reminds me of my favorite Key and Peele sketch.
"Perchance good sir, could you point me in the direction of the nearest apothecary?"

That's the exact sentence that made me give up on this... blog entry? Whatever this thing is?
That sentence is truly, amazingly bad, and I very much doubt the image it evokes is the one the author had in mind when they wrote it.
Building a network, or as I like to call it, shitposting on twitter.
> interested in problems of governance from beyond the established liberal democratic paradigm
So... communists? Hippies? Not that there's anything wrong with either, I just find that such people are really into work-trade and barter, but they always have cash for alcohol and cigarettes.
This guy, apparently:
"When I wasn’t lifting and courting, I was building a network of intellectuals interested in problems of governance from beyond the established liberal democratic paradigm."
What a sentence.
>"I feel like it's a term used by somebody from the Edwardian era who needs a refill on their moustache wax."
I knew someone like this. The running joke was that they were a purveyor of 19th century elixirs, tonics—things of that nature. Then they shaved, and the magic ended.
