Dostoievski was right

Yes. He was a bright lad, this one...

* Update: If he was the one who actually said that.

Woke Academia

Looks like Asians have become white. Congrats boys and girls.

Brent A. Williams, M.D.:

Opens Twitter. Sees "call pedophiles what they want to be called". Wonders when the Dems will put that into law...

Comment: "Foucault would be so proud."

What Williams is talkin' about.

This is what postmodernism does- put seeds of doubt in your head- 'maybe there are shades of grey' or 'maybe it's complicated'.

NO. Child safeguarding is a hard boundary.

"Groomers and their protection rings". No moms allowed in the library.

But sexual preference and gender identity are different. What about sex and gender identity?

Hi Victor. As the United Nations' 'independent expert on gender identity', can you please explain why you consistently use the terms 'sex' and 'gender identity' interchangeably? These of course mean completely different things, with the former grounded in biological science.

Then there's CRT. Christopher Rufo:

BREAKING: Scottsdale Unified school board president Jann-Michael Greenburg has been caught assembling a dossier with confidential information on parents who oppose critical race theory--including photographs of their children.

KC Johnson:

Yale Law DEI officials' "conduct constituted a flagrant abuse of power, pure and simple."

Wilfred Reilly on Glenn Loury vs. Michael Eric Dyson panel discussion:

My take is that Glenn responded to epistemological deontological non-pragmatic dialectic focused on hermeneutics with actual words that make sense.

Literary Corner: An American Fascist

Susan Ronald has written a book that focuses on the time of Joseph Kennedy, American Fascist, as an ambassador to Great Britain. Pretty astonishing.

In this meticulous, relentless biography, Joseph P. Kennedy is now firmly established in the annals of twentieth-century fascism. When he arrived in England in early 1938, he quickly found a home among the ruling elite who believed, as Susan Ronald puts it, that "fascism was the cure for communism." Notwithstanding FDR's unprecedented provocation of sending an Irishman with no diplomatic skills to Great Britain, Kennedy immediately sided with Prime Minister Chamberlain and the appeasers, believing that any deal with Hitler--no matter how humiliating and lethal to the lives of millions--was preferable to war. Kennedy never stopped believing that Hitler could be bought off, that businessmen could do business with fascists.

But appeasement, in and of itself, is not, of course, a form of fascism. Even Neville Chamberlain eventually realized that Hitler's cruel lust for power could not be satiated by offering so much of Europe to his suzerainty. FDR understood that Hitler could not be appeased and became increasingly wary of Kennedy, but kept him in England because the President felt the Ambassador's defeatist attitudes would demoralize the American people and undermine democratic life. Kennedy, on his leaves home, lectured FDR and said "very frankly" that the United States "would have to come to some form of Fascism here." . . .

Of course, now we have Antifa pushing communism as the cure for fascism. Odd how similar the communist and fascist approaches are when they gain any amount of power.

I have no idea who puts out unlimited hangout, but how well do you think the World Economic Forum is doing at "manufacturing trust" in 2021?

Have you seen much in the MSM about the massive demonstration in Melbourne, Australia?
