The sad part is that when somebody says “men and women are no different at all,” you can’t simply respond by saying, “Yes, they are different. Open your eyes and look around.”
Yes, that IS the sad part.
The terrifying part, is how this is Cultural Stalinism and nothing but, and how people from all sides are indulging themselves at it.
I was just calling out Allan Dershowitz for the same god-damned thing: how the very worst and most self-destructive things anyone once denounced can do, are to simultaneously back-pedal, re-explain and qualify, and also try to counter-denounce their denouncers in the bargain.
We see it again and again: the Accused, instead of the simplest three-word manifesto in the English language of “HOW DARE YOU?”, instead adopts the language and tactics of their personal NKVD, and tries to out-NKVD them.
How’s that going, for anyone dumb enough ever to have tried it?
I’m an opinionated asshole. I know I’m an opinionated asshole. I don’t apologize, for being an opinionated asshole. I like being an opinionated asshole. I’m proud to be an opinionated asshole. I don’t give a rat’s ass what anybody thinks of my being an opinionated asshole.
I remember when America was nation of proud, unapologetic opinionated assholes. I liked it. We all did, I thought.
What the hell happened?
