Why I Post so Little Here These Days
This blog has been slowly dying for a while. It long ago ceased to get any readers and comments stopped eons before that. But, now I am truly running out of new things to say in the short space of a blog post. I am also coming to the point where I am just going to have to accept that nobody is ever going to agree with me on anything and there isn't anything I can do about it. I never thought I would live to see Stalinism rehabilitated. But, that isn't as surprising as some of the other past horrors such as Dutch colonial atrocities in Indonesia or the Danish slave trade that are now routinely and militantly denied or defended by huge numbers of "progressives." But, there is no convincing these people that their idols whether it is the USSR, Denmark, the Netherlands, or Israel has ever done anything wrong. Unfortunately, these people appear to make up the vast majority of the population posting on the Internet.
It appears to be a PC rule that thou shalt not criticize Israel in general for anything whatsoever. Recently the US Congress is reported to be almost one-half or more in favor of a new federal law outlawing the Boycott and Divestment of Israel. I cannot even understand anyone praising Stalin? Any common sense statements critical of today's Sacred Cows is forbidden. For our own sanity, it seems best to concentrate elsewhere?
ReplyDeleteOtto, you've been away from the USA for a long time now!

The chickens have come home to roost at UGA, although I suspect that most universities have crashed intellectually a long time ago. The lunatics aka Cultural Marxists are running the insane asylum.
