"This one may have been slightly over the line! Just one more incident like this and then we'll be really mad!"

If you're impotent, it's better not to posture as if you hold the guns. It only makes you look pathetic.

Our roofer brought us breakfast sandwiches. We are so back. (Going to have to come up with a good way to return the favor.)

I submit to you an alternative version. (The Dickinson one, I think, is a stretch in both images. Both would probably be better with a different choice. Part of this is because of his more minor role, part is because we just don't have anywhere near as many of his writings to pick from.)

Immanuel Kant. A murderer at your door. He asks if his quarry is inside your home. The modern mind offers a benevolent lie. Kant rejects that offer, pointing to a sacred, unconditional, and absolute duty: you will tell the truth, regardless of the consequences.

Now follow your duty to read. No exceptions; this imperative is categorical.

Making a prediction:

History will march on. Cthulhu will continue to swim left. This is not a turning point.

It's the same sort of emotional stimulus that gets us to react again and again and again. We get angry. We throw a fit. Nothing changes, except that we are made worse by our outburst, and the system is fed by it.

I have a simple request for those unconvinced but who are willing to give this perspective seriousness: Mark this moment. Mark how strong it feels. Keep a record of it somewhere. Make a tangible, physical reminder. Attach that reminder to how strongly nearly everyone on the right is reacting. Look back at it in the future and reflect. Think about how much changed because of that anger. Consider whether it was productive or useless in retrospect. You're reacting now. Fine. But make yourself reflect later. If I'm wrong, things will look good for your emotism. If I'm correct, it will be obvious later that nothing productive resulted from it. All I'm asking is that you make yourself reflect on this later. I will do the same, and hope that I'm currently in error.

I'm angry. How could they not let him have his alligator in the store? Join me, fellow Poors. Tonight, we riot.

I'm not sure this is right. The left doesn't need to think he was one of us to hate him. They also hate normie cons. These are people who called John McCain "Hitler." Lol
