Are these infantile ramblings what now pass for rational, intellectually-sound, emotionally mature behavior in the Western world?
If the rantings of my sister and brother are any indication, yes. Both well educated, married with kids. Both living in Washington state. I am no longer able to discuss politics with either of them as it so quickly gets ugly. Painfully sad for me.
I have friends in the same situation -— daughter and husband and family live in Washington state and they can no longer discuss politics with them.
I told her that her daughter was now part of a certain social group that considers themselves superior in ‘class’ to the rest of the country. She’s dealing with class snobbery.
People just won’t give up that false, cheap feeling of social superiority that being ‘left’ gives them. So it’s no point arguing facts.
That’s the left -— that is its sole claim to legitimacy. No facts, not economics, but social superiority.
We have entered an age of class snobbery. Amereica didn’t used to be like this.
