Truth is: when someone is
cancelled, they themselves do the
cancelling.
That's very true.
The other thing is this...and you'll find it's an infallible rule...if you kneel down to
*the Left, it's just so they can kick you in the face. Count on it.
*I don't think
left and
right are meaningful distinctions any more.
And I think we get ourselves twisted around tryin' to distinguish between strains of thinkin'.
Oh, Bernie, he's not a communist or socialist...he's a democratic socialist...that's entirely different.
Oh, Rand Paul, he's not a conservative or republican...he's a libertarian...that's entirely different.
We all do it, includin' me, this boxing up of ideas...it's wrong-headed and self-defeating.
If we strip away ideology and category, get to the root of things, inevitably we find only free men and slavers.
Viewed this way it becomes clear just how skewed it all is.
Many of our
friends, we discover, aren't, and
the loyal opposition is revealed to be simply the enemy.
What was a difference of opinion is, we find, really the difference between Aesop's battered rangy wolf and the comfortable fat house-dog.
Dialogue, diplomacy, reaching across the aisle, compromise, we see, aren't roads to solution but chutes to the abbatoir.
(How can there be accommodation between the free man and the slaver? Every concession, by either side, only serves the slaver:
Well, okay...I can't wear the leash all the time, but -- in the spirit of fellowship -- I'll wear it Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and alternating Sundays. Well, okay...I'd rather have you under heel 24/7, but -- in the spirit of fellowship -- you can be free Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and alternating Sundays.)
Democracy is forced into the light and we see it not as noble experiment (one man-one vote) but as the predation it is.
(Two wolves and one sheep vote on what to have for dinner...)
No, the
left is not the devil here, nor is the
right.
We gotta start lookin'
behind the curtain and we best do it now.
