Imagine there’s no pronouns.
It isn’t hard to do.
Nothing to tribe or cancel for.
Only me and you.

For all practical purposes this fits the definition of colonization.

The book Dignity: Seeking Respect in Back Row America by @chrisarnade is a crushing indictment of left wing moral intuitions, ideology, and policy. Here’s an excerpt;

[The Independent Whig @TheWhig]

For several decades US left-wing ideologues have been slowly, inexorably, migrating to the country’s power centers, whereupon they establish their world view as “the right side of history,” impose it upon the rest of the country, and cancel (persecute) those who disagree.

@wil_da_beast630 Hate: Because he’s a midwit bureaucrat who is not, and never was, up to the task and power with which he was entrusted; whose all-over-the-map, reactionary, seemingly panicked, flip-flopping policies arguably harmed more than they helped.

Love: Because he’s on the “right” team.

@ZeteticAdvocate I’m fortunate to be able to work remotely, so day-to-day life has fallen into a surprisingly normal routine.

Memories are a gift. I sent these texts to my college buddy in Maine who invites me to visit for a week or two a couple times a year. He has a small property on a lake from which i can work remotely. He and i will often enjoy a coffee together on the dock in the morning.

De rigueur status quo left wing dogma about the right. Dangerously, wrong; tragically exacerbating rather than ameliorating the problem.
Caused by the the use of the one-dimensional world view of the left to analyze the multi-dimensional real world.

@ZeteticAdvocate My experience has been similar. Life is wonderful.

The root causes of gun violence are cultural, and have virtually nothing to do with the guns themselves.

Frankly, the logic that it’s about the guns is infantile; an insult to the intelligence of anyone who values facts, logic, and common sense.
