Footnotes to Plato from the foothills of the Superstition Mountains

When People Tell You Who They Are, Believe Them

Bari Weiss:

Here you can watch people gathered at the Sydney Opera House cheering “gas the Jews” and “death to the Jews.” People are rejoicing in the slaughter on the streets of Berlin and London and Toronto and New York. (Scroll down to read our Free Press dispatch on the celebrations in Manhattan.)

At our most prestigious universities there is silence from administrations that leapt to speak out on George Floyd’s killing and on the war in Ukraine. Meantime, the social justice crowd offers explanations for the massacre—a massacre that, in part, targeted a group of progressive Israelis at a music festival. Terrorists came to that festival on paragliders carrying machine guns to start their slaughter. They raped women there next to the dead bodies of their friends.

    War and killing are the natural state of unredeemed man. Peace is not.

    Those reports are almost unbelievable; the world though, is that way. An equally realistic view (imo) was presented this morning by Scott Adams: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szEKrqDNZJ4 (skip the ad)

    Joe, that leftists will not grant your point is one of their deepest mistakes.

    Dave,
    The Scott Adama video starts off with too much time-wasting bullshit. I turned it off. What’s his main point?

    “I’m struck that American intellectuals are reprinting the picture of the paraglider as an image of liberation, like a hip new logo, that visual of death.”
    This carries the Radical Chic notion to subhuman depths. If this be a war between civilized and savage, then it may have to be fought right here at home—meaning the modern West. Deal with the savage as he deserves to be dealt with for he will surely do the same to his enemy.

    You missed a good one, Bill. Anyhow – BS aside, have a good one.
