Writing for the City Journal, Christopher Rufo wonders whether a “quiet right counterculture” of sane and normal people is growing up right before our eyes (https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/4120803/posts).
The hippies and commies who were the counterculture of the 1960s and 70s, and their offspring, are a counterculture no more: they are The Establishment. They are General Motors funding “transgender” commercials in the public elementary schools. They are Big Tech, they are censorship, they are “cancel everybody who isn’t us!”
But outside the doomed Blue cities, ordinary people are working to rebuild “families, schools, churches, neighborhoods… things that will last,” says Rufo. Homeschool families are leading the way, with more and more parents opting not to keep their kids in public schools for teachers’ union fanatics to groom and prey on.
Man, from your mouth to God’s ear!
Read the essay, it’s not long. What do you think? Has he got something there, or what?
For some time now, I’ve been thinking that the polarity has reversed. Ultimately, what was feared in the ‘60s, authoritarian, demanding government and social forces, have been taken over by the Left. I don’t believe, for one moment, that their assumption of virtue is more than a paper-thin veneer, but that’s how I see it. So now, the Right is considered radical and dangerous, by people that are seeking to solidify their power.
Power, power itself, is the problem. Power does indeed, corrupt.
The Left, everywhere, was ALWAYS about exercising power over other people. Remind me to write about my 1972 appearance before a “people’s tribunal” at Michigan State.
Under Clarence Thomas’ leadership the Supreme Court overruled Roe, and his supporting opinion shows Thomas is ready to overturn all the woke decisions the Supreme Court has made in recent years. Pray for Thomas because you know he is at the top of the Leftist list.
