I’m working on a new theory. Any interaction in which you don’t run the risk of getting punched in the face is a pretend interaction.
Who are you gonna call when you get in trouble?
This is worth watching.
What’s behind the totalitarianism on the left?
Anyone who is paying attention should know exactly what I’m talking about, but here are three recent examples.
- Paypal considers (then walks back) a proposal to “fine” users $2,500 if they promote “misinformation.”
- California is making it illegal for doctors to disagree with politicians.
- Blackrock and other asset managers are forcing companies to follow their ideological agenda.
It seems like this is the consequence of several different trains of thought that have been festering on the left.
- There is no truth, and therefore no point in debate. Everything comes down to an exercise of power.
- Words are violence.
- Oppressive attitudes (racism, sexism, homophobia, etc.) are so deeply ingrained in the system that the only remedy is to tear it all down.
- There is no right to free speech. People who are seen as upholding the current system must be silenced.
Anything else?
It’s not pro-Russia …
… to say that the United States is better off staying out of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
Unfortunately, our public “debate” is so awful that people get away with saying that sort of thing.
Now there’s no Democrat I could vote for
Tulsi Gabbard has decided to leave the Democratic Party, which reminds me of a saying I saw in an Amish country store, “We get too soon old, and too late smart.” IOW, it’s about time.
Pigweed asked how long it would be before she becomes a Nazi on CNN. We’ll see. It didn’t take long before she became a Russian agent on Twitter.
