Thomas Paine publishes an open letter in the Pennsylvania Evening Post, under the name “Republicus,” which advocates for the name “United States of America” for the new nation now emerging.
This is the first time such a term has been used.
A majority of people lack a self (inner monologue)
They cannot understand how different people think, for the simple reason that they have no clue how they personally do either
This opinion might not be popular (but not too unpopular), but I disagree that Scott Wiener was harassed in this park because he is Jewish, and empathy for him on that front is semi-suicidal and misplaced.
In my view, Wiener was not harassed because he is Jewish but rather because he didn't take the full Leftist-approved Gaza line voluntarily before being challenged. Saying he was harassed for being Jewish misses the crucial point and gives him cover he doesn't deserve.
Radical Muslims would harass him for being Jewish, of course, and so would Woke Right chuds and their Neo-Nazi friends, but Leftists wouldn't. Not directly, anyway, and probably not actually intentionally. Leftists don't think like that, and this is very important
For Leftists, the crucial variable in play is whether or not you espoused their fully correct ideological point of view spontaneously without having to be told because you recognized it on your own (that is, you're socially enlightened, by their definition). The "transformed" person in Leftism, who is the only person who has worth, recognizes the world "from the people's standpoint," and to fail to recognize it is to prove that you are not correctly oriented and thus in line with the oppressor.
This is a completely different line of thought than harassing him because he is Jewish.
All the way back to Karl Marx in his 1843 (very early Marx) "On the Jewish Question," it's clearly articulated that the Left's problem with Jews is that they have a different way of viewing the work, which is being Jewish. The problem, though, is the worldview being wrong. Marx's solution is to "remove the Jewishness from the Jew," to paraphrase.
This difference is crucially important. These two things are not the same.
Scott Wiener built and nourished the revolutionary Leftist ideology and advanced it considerably. Then he failed it on its own terms. He deserves no sympathy for this, especially given how much information there is about this being inevitable and the fate of every single one of the people pushing Leftism.
Don't give him sympathy for something he doesn't deserve for reasons that aren't correct.

Some of the smartest people I have ever met in my life never went college.
Some of the stupidest people I have ever met in my life had a JD or a PhD (or both).
The reason the “credentialed” class hates me is because I also have the credentials they define themselves by, and I constantly remind them how worthless those credentials actually are.
(STEM not included.)
Cenk named his show after an actual Muslim genocide of Armenian Christians, by the way.
Just saying… maybe don’t take morality advice from fat lefty propagandists that lie for a living.
He was executed by Nazis. He was a Christian pastor who fought for the Jewish people and for true disciples of Christ in the Nazi Germany.
Never again is now.
