Clint Eastwood: Trump is Taking on The "Pussy Generation"I don't think he likes Trump all that much, but this much he likes. ESQ: Your characters have become touchstones in the culture, whether it's Reagan invoking "Make my day" or now Trump … I swear he's even practiced your scowl. In between those parts he discusses the Empty Chair bit he did at the 2012 convention. Meanwhile, Bret Easton Ellis, the bad boy young novelist of the 1980s, has similar thoughts on his podcast. The podcast is mainly focused on film, and the issue of social media and modern journalistic discourse bleeds into this area as it has had an unquestionable effect on artistic output in the past couple of years. On a previous episode, guest and Bored To Death creator Jonathan Ames confessed to having recently pulled out of writing an article for a publication simply because he feared the often overwhelming online backlash writers now face. The podcast is here. I don't think half of this party gets how sick the other half of us are of this shit. Half of the party is still trying to imitate the left, and set up their own lists of Things You Cannot Say, or trying to rescue the "good parts" of political correctness. And there are indeed some good parts. But very few. And a lot of the Political Correctness regime seems to be being saved to save just those few defensible parts of it. This is a major factor in the class-based schism in the GOP: One class, which never had much truck with the leftist-promulgated/college-inculcated speech codes, is completely against this bullshit, and the college educated folk are trying to rescue a Decent Speech Code out of he horrorshow of the left's speech codes. I'm not sure which side is right. I do know that the college crowd seems determined to rescue far too much of this nonsense; witness the sudden fiction that you're now not allowed to insult a parent who lost his son twelve years ago after he just insulted you. At some point, politeness seems to just be a polite euphemism for hectoring, harassing speech control. Speech policing is just another form of the leftists' favorite method of politicking -- rent seeking. And the rent they seek is your deference and your acceptance of their higher-caste status. And that's huge. It has huge impacts. Crap like that is why Sarah Palin can be called a Temptress Whore but if you make one joke about the "hero" Sandra Fluke, you get boycotted. Once you accept the (now nakedly stated) premise that some people simply have greater Social Privileges than others, that's the ball game -- you have now accepted that this is a caste-based society, and the castes have a heirarchy of priority of rights. And guess where you fall in that heirarchy? Spoiler alert: Not near the top. | Recent Comments
