Will the illegal immigrants partake in the loot-loot-rioting too?

Any time there are brownie points at stake, you know the game is actually for status, and where status is the game, fashion is the currency. Thus, the dress-up in Arab keffiyehs, the charming head-scarf denoting allyship with Hamas...

A popular science fiction novel has been made into a pair of recent movies. The template doesn't fit, but how long before it is hijacked (as Star Wars was) and the square peg pounded into the round hole? I wonder because I see imagery of kids wearing these [I call them PLO bandanas] and what they'll wrap themselves in next in a misguided and misinformed attempt at "solidarity."

This is not the America our founding fathers envisioned. What they fought against was a walk in the park compared to the world today.

The guy makes a point that I always try to hit on and is obviously true.

Our society is very faddish / trendy and prone to taking these trends to extreams.

Much of what we claim to be environmentalism, national security, for public education, disease control has at least in part a degree of social fad, sometimes fueled by politics and business (power and money) and little to do with the cause they claim to be supporting. Yes, even being anti-Israel or pro-Ukraine, Covid, much of this LGBTQIA stuff floating out there today has all the classic signs of being a fad and having been sold to the public no different than when bell-bottom pants were in.

Not saying you’re wrong. But I want to at least continue making them work for it. If they’re going to cheat, make them work so hard for it that it’s obvious to everyone.

...We’re there already, I think. People need to open their own eyes because argument doesn’t work on a fixed heart and violence is illegal. I know many won’t until they are speared by the people they trusted because they eventually turn on one another when their opponents are neutered or eliminated.

We have become too tolerant, too willing to bend for minorities. A tiny % of the population gets breaks. Some we put up with, parking spaces for the handicapped (that many abuse) to letting men who play dress up as woman use ladies bathrooms.

While the style is a bit abstruse here, the choice and combination of words is brilliant.
