Can't a guy just write because he writes?
I mean, if some guy in chelsea wants to put chicken guts on a canvas, nobody says to him, "oh, you're so left wing."
But if a guy writes about common sense and the undeniability of truths that transcend the current f*cking fashion, he's considered "a right winger."
Ugh. No matter where you turn, the imbecils are waiting to infect you.
It ain't easy, I'll tell ya.
There is a mantra on the left “Politicize everything”.
It is a commandment, go forth and propagandize.
It got pretty bad in the 1990s. And even today in articles on apolitical subject matter there will suddenly be a slam of Bush or the Iraq war or something else totally unrelated.
And the reader is fully expected to agree with the writer’s viewpoint. There is no support for the aside, no defense of the attack. Just something that hits the reader like a speed bump.
A better editor would suggest taking this or that line out (of non-fiction writings) because they will forever horribly date them.
