...“Dead children in the street because of people like you! That is your legacy! Dead children!” he concluded in parting. I was relieved to be in one piece.
...My appearance alone upset him, in particular the tote bag I was carrying from the magazine where I’m an editor. I found this out only because the young man wrote about the diatribe in a tweet (since removed): “I yelled semi-incoherently at a man I believed to be a White Nationalist due to his white suit, bow-tie, hair cut, and smug, pasty face on the Q [sic] today. My anti-imperialist trigger was tripped by his @newcriterion bag. Imperial scum.”
...The irony is that we now live in a society in which more is permitted but less is allowed. Our sense of shame is replaced by a culture of shaming.

Liberals are stunned to learn Marxists are not their friends.

Good reason to carry CP gas and a stun gun. And work out more, to be able to throw the incapacitated a-hole onto the tracks. Thanks DUMBGRUNT.

This is why I go nude swimming.
Joe Biden? Izzat you?
I was not familiar with New Criterion, but I checked it out and it seems to be something cultured, educated, civilized people would enjoy. No wonder the punk went berserk on this guy.
New Criterion is one of the few conservative culture and arts magazines.

Yes, wearing a genuine hand-tied, bow tie, was what started it!
He described Colonel Sanders.
