    Excellent Article on the Jacobin-ism on the Left

    This did not "hot link" well so I had to put up the whole page on the site the article is on. You will get "page not found" before it comes up. It's the top article (for now,) the one with the picture of the man with the ostriches. Long but worth it.

        A twit as I understand it is a left-handed twat. We have several on this board.

          Artie, I can’t believe that I read your first article along with an editorial in today’s a Baltimore Sun entitled “Breaking the Cycle of Gun Violence Entails Constitutional Policing”. Among some of the pieces of brilliance from the same was that illegal stop and frisk resulting in gun seizures did not inhibit murders. Recent statements from some cop friends indicate a rise in community guns to avoid possession.

            Community guns. Gotta say I'm not used to thinking in those terms, personally. But it is a proven way of protecting contraband.

              The point of the article(why are they all so long?) seems to be about the rampant insanity going on everywhere about how holy black people are. The guy tells the truth and then nearly gets lynched by his fellow "journalists" and actually apologized.
              If I should die before I wake...great,a little more sleep.

                How about we learn to just see people as people? Some groups neither holier or un-holier than others. Too much to ask?

                  Totalitarians need Identity Politics to segregate out the opposition.

                    White identity was a big one there for awhile. Got the milsurps to prove it. Some say, it still is.
