You’re welcome. I have the quote in my profile page if you ever need it for a thread- he nailed it for sure. The left are throwing out absolutely asinine nonsense and demanding that the world accept and repeat the obviously blatant lies
Bob, checked your homepage. What a find - and the guy’s written books.. “Life at the Bottom: The Worldview That Makes the Underclass” is now on my ‘must read’ list. Thanks so much for the quote and the direction.
Theodore Dalrymple, a British psychiatrist who treats the poor in a slum hospital and a prison in England, has seemingly seen it all. Yet in listening to and observing his patients, he is continually astonished by the latest twist of depravity that exceeds even his own considerable experience. Dalrymple’s key insight in Life at the Bottom is that long-term poverty is caused not by economics but by a dysfunctional set of values, one that is continually reinforced by an elite culture searching for victims. This culture persuades those at the bottom that they have no responsibility for their actions and are not the molders of their own lives. Drawn from the pages of the cutting-edge political and cultural quarterly City Journal, Dalrymple’s book draws upon scores of eye-opening, true-life vignettes that are by turns hilariously funny, chillingly horrifying, and all too revealing-sometimes all at once. And Dalrymple writes in prose that transcends journalism and achieves the quality of literature.
