"The most extreme virtue-signaling is rewarded until it becomes a new threat, and then those who strayed unknowingly beyond the invisible lines will find themselves cast out for political crimes whose definition is constantly changing."
"Just as time is a one-way arrow, the politicization of everything is a one-way road to dissolution and collapse."
Gonna be unseasonably cool here in NYC next week.
That’s why they had to change global warming to global climate change.
As for this politicization of everything, I looked up an FBI profiler who narrates some crime stories and she Apologized for Being White on facebook!
I don’t get it.
Excellent post. Thanks
I would like someone to show me one real leftist/socialist/communist in the Democrat Party.
It’s all a smokescreen.
“I’m a socialist!” Screams Bernie.
From one of his three houses.
The Democrats are all greedy liars.
Does anybody, ANYBODY, think that Nancy Pelosi or Hillary Clinton want their grandchildren to enjoy the fun of pulling turnips at Turnip Commune #34?
“To remain confidential, everyday life must be treated as wartime. Your hand-written journal is safe, as long as you don’t share it digitally. But since we’ve morphed into an engagement-based social order, your selfhood now depends on engaging others digitally via “likes,” shares, etc. and sharing your most “engaging” images and experiences.”
My “selfhood” is more inclined to dealing directly with family & friends.
Really good article. We have really arrived at this in the good old USA. How very disheartening.
Politics trumps everything, all the time. It was always so and will always be so. The reason is because politics is first and foremost about self interest on a large scale.
The reason things seemed less political in the past was because people in this country were more in agreement about cultural values. Democrat or republican, pretty much everyone agreed about respecting the flag and military. People shared common cultural values. So politically we were on the same page with major issues.
With the advent of multiculturalism and “diversity is our strength”, the consensus on cultural values has disappeared, and that’s causing things to appear more politicized.
The real problem is the advent of multiculturalism and the breakdown of cultural shared values. .
