Plus ca change, plus c’est la meme chose. History is is an every expanding circle. Its reiterations might stretch over many decades but the results are the same. Even the nonconformists conform to nonconformist rules.
I use to think “follow the money” was a somewhat overused, over cynical cliche. but now I am thinking it is not used enough. figure out why people do what they do – “the love of money is the root of all evil” seems to explain a lot of what’s happening today when you start to dig around in the ‘why is this happening’ category as it makes no sense and isn’t even logical on a very basic concept. if we mask it over with “emotional platitudes” and “righteous indignation” it appears that people won’t look at the “real” reason behind the actions. js

He’s not wrong. Free speech will go the way of the dodo if they get their new no law enforcement society.

If the progressive / leftists ever gain power, that is the very first thing they will do.

Instead of in-person demonstrations, they’ll have YouTube videos and instruction books “for Dummies”.
