Surveillance Video Dismantles January 6th Narrative<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Narratives and the Left<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Leftists love narratives because a narrative needn't be true to be a narrative. Their assessment criteria are identity-tribal rather than logical.  A good narrative is a coherent  story that enhances the tribe's power. Whether true or false is not to the point, the point being power. Truth is not a leftist value. It is not a norm that constrains their speaking and thinking.   That is not to say that leftists don't sometimes speak the truth; they do when it serves their purposes. They don't when it doesn't.  Truth for a leftist has a merely instrumental value, not an absolute value.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Addendum<\/em> (3\/9).  I wrote to Tony Flood anent Tucker's exposure of our government's police-state tactics:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

I think that the U.S. has finally completed its transmogrification into the S.U.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And Tony reined me in a bit with this response:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Analogies with trajectories to totalitarianism (total statism) lose in precision what they may offer in rhetorical bite. We have our near-equivalents of Pravda <\/em>and Izvestiya. <\/em>(You know the old joke: Pravda <\/em>has no news; Izvestiya<\/em>, no truth.) But we also still have Tucker, Diana [West], et al. When the transmogrification is complete, we won't, and the result won't be Sovietization or Nazification, but probably given the technological means something even worse. I cannot measure the distance yet to be traveled, and hope we never do. I hope we're at a turning point and we'll turn the right way in light of the recent exposures.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Yes. Here's hoping that Carlson's display of serious testicular fortitude will have some positive effect on his journalistic colleagues who, most of them, have utterly forgotten the important role of the Fourth Estate in a democratic but constitutionally-based republic <\/em>and are now shills for the ruling power-hungry, greedy, anti-democratic, globalist elites.  To gauge just how far we have sunk in this country, give a listen to this exercise<\/a> in mendacity and misdirection by Senator Charles Schumer.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

So Carlson invited Schumer to come on TV and talk about it.<\/span><\/p>\n

But Schumer said he will appear on Carlson\u2019s show only if Carlson takes back everything he has said.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The rest of the good senator's crapweaselry here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Addendum II<\/em> (3\/9) Tony Flood adds:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Bill, a thought about your suggestion: Lysenko, the Stalin-era Lamarckian biologist who denied the reality of genes, was a poster boy for political interference in science. The current popular denial of the reality of chromosomal distinction (as though xx can "transition" to xy or vice versa) puts me in mind of this episode. Unlike the imposition of Lysenkoism, however, the ascendancy of the latter denial (and other, equally insane denials of reality) cannot be explained as a top-down affair. Contemporary ideologues conspired outside the corridors of political power until they wormed their way inside whence they can put finishing touches. We're living through something like Bolsheviks patiently working their way through generations of Romanovs and Russian nobility, undermining traditional institutions and beliefs one by one until society falls into their laps. No need to storm the Winter Palace if you already control the institutions that maintain it. Over time, one cultural hegemony replaces another. At least that's what I think they've been trying to do, but reality hasn't been cooperating.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I think you are on the right track, Tony. The capture of our culture and our institutions is not top-down, but bottom-up. It is akin to the "long march through the institutions" that David Horowitz often refers to. The student radicals of the '60s wormed their way into the professoriat, the entertainment and news media,  the churches, the schools, the judiciary, etc. and now — horribile dictu<\/em> — into such precincts as before they were not to be found: the military and corporate business worlds. Thus the bizarre phenomena of 'woke' capitalism  and a 'woke' and therefore weak  military as promoted by the likes of 'General' Milley under the 'control' of the demento-puppet, Joey B. What's next? Bespoke pacifist generals?<\/span><\/p>\n

Sorting through this socio-cultural garbage is a challenging intellectual exercise. We shall continue. But now I am going to take Bro Jackass out for a hard ride.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
