…folks on the left have no issue with lying to our faces. Once you abandon the idea of Christianity and that false witness is a mortal sin to be worried about all that’s left is utilitarianism. So if a lie is useful it will be used.

…we have reached a point where the federal bureaucracy acts like the Chicago machine. We lionized a cheap Chicago pol and put him in charge and he and his crowd did their best to remake government in their own image to serve their agenda. The big difference is they didn’t advertise their “Make the US Chicago to the world.

…

…pro athletes tend to ease off after the big contract. In the old days when being a pro athlete didn’t mean generational wealth the winners share of an all star game or a championship might be the difference between sending a kid to college or getting ahead of a mortgage or not and if you were dropped you have to go back to a regular job. Generational wealth ends all this. It’s that wealth that is the ends, championships are just gravy.

…

…so many people feel entitled to their own reality along with everything else. What did you expect would happen to a generation that was constantly told they were special, were given participation trophies rather then being told to strive t win, and were brought up by parents who were more interested in being friends and thus never disciplined their kids? Why on earth did you expect them to turn out any other way?

…

…that Disney et/al still don’t care about the bottom line. Once you have generational wealth the incentive to produce profit for your shareholders is less a priority than keeping in the good graces of the “right” people. The affirmation of the smart set, basically the modern version of being “presented at court” is all that matters when that’s what you base your self worth on.

….

….that the “Never Trump” conservatives who once talked boldly about their values suddenly hate DeSantis as much as Trump seems to these day. When they became “nevertrump” the income stream from the right disappeared and the income stream from the left replaced it. Once they realized that the income stream from the right was not coming back suddenly “principled conservatism” became supporting the left, even against conservatives not named Trump.
