A public record of some of my thoughts. Feel free to comment, but don't expect me to respond.
P&C drink and review Sierra Nevada’s Celebration Fresh Hop IPA, then talk about totalitarianism, authoritarianism, and fascism. Following up, they evaluate Rod Dreher’s “soft totalitarianism” from Live Not by Lies, but decide Dreher might have the wrong label.
Our culture is at a cross-roads. Is there time (or the will) to stop the growing tech-inspired soft authoritarianism?
Pigweed and Crowhill drink and review Old Speckled Han, a very nice English Pale Ale, then discuss all the nonsense about cops.
Is the central intent of policing to surveil, terrorize, capture and kill marginalized populations, specifically black folk? There are people in our society who are promoting that story.
The media, politicians and similar cretins keep feeding us a narrative that we have an epidemic of white cops killing unarmed black people. Is it true?
In this lecture, at about 4:30, Peterson mentions a correlation between the prevalence of infectious disease and authoritarianism. That’s interesting and scary.
Ford pardoned Nixon so the country could move on and heal. Schumer says the only way to heal is to have an impeachment trial.
