Just some mumblings...
1) I just can't deal with the following things - pandering, victimhood, and scolds. It's no wonder leftism is so allergenic to me. Liberalism/leftism/communism is the combination of the worst impulses of all three.
2) Very good distillation of what's happening in the world today - the fight between paganism and Christianity (found via Instapundit). In a nutshell, the article argues that the two sides are really in an argument about whether we exist individually as sinners (Christianity) or as a collective that requires blood payment (paganism), and the current iteration of identity politics is an attempt to try and have it both ways. I have to say, it makes some very convincing cases, especially in light of what we are seeing in terms of people "confessing" their "guilt" despite the fact Officer Chauvin alone did it and was arrested and charged for it. Do read the whole thing.
3) The revolution always eats their own. All you have to do is see the Man-child Mayor of Minneapolis get booed out of a struggle session protest because he refused to back de-funding and abolishing the police. Or Muriel Bowser get criticized for painting "Black Lives Matter" on a street as a "stunt for white liberals."
4) The NFL better be careful - their decision to pander (there's that word again) to the players will most likely backfire. I can find better things to do on fall Sundays than watch the Ravens and Redskins play.
5) MLB is just about toast. The MLBPA thinks they are ordinary working Joes. Here's a clue...they aren't. In a fight between millionaires and billionaires, most people will side with the billionaire owners. Why? Because anyone who has any association with a business understands that the one who owns the business is the one who bears all the burdens, risks, costs, and maintenance. The players are...employees. They only have two concerns - health and pay. That's it. They're entertainers. The Orioles are terrible, but I still enjoyed going to a few games per year. That will end. Book it.
