The legitimation of anti-“Zionism” is being ramped up internationally. Arab money, coupled with international leftism, are conspiring to once again scapegoat the Jews, only this time, it is the “Israelis” and those who support them. Here, the legitimation comes from the academy and the leftwing press, and spreads outward to the culture at large. We’ve seen this play out before. I’ve long known the left wants to drag us back

I’m told that we use almost twice as much energy per person as does a European, and more like three times as much as does a Japanese citizen. We could do a lot better. I’d like to see our vehicles, and our homes, and our systems of

See? Now this is a case of marked misuse of a perfect viable weapon. And now we all have to suffer for it. Because once society succeeds in outlawing the cockslap, only outlaws will beat deserving people about the head and shoulders with their meat maces.
