The Way of Witchthink

21st August 2023

Read it.

I recently had occasion to take the “White Privilege Test” endorsed by the black Lives Matter movement, and was thunderstruck, but not surprised, to find that none of the questions, not a single one, had anything to do with anything that could honestly be called a privilege.

This leads to a serious conundrum. What is White Privilege?

An even more serious question is this: How can anyone take such a silly question seriously?

Javier Milei and the Paradox of Freedom

20th August 2023

Read it.

Ever since the Brexit-cum-Trump dual shock of 2016, most of the international press has resorted to labeling candidates and causes to the right of establishment liberal-conservatism as “far-right,” “fringe,” or even “extreme.” To the extent these national-populist leaders have challenged entrenched orthodoxies on free trade and relatively free migration, this media hysteria is partly warranted. But what happens when the shock comes not from a conservative populist like Donald Trump, Viktor Orbán, or Jair Bolsonaro but from a dyed-in-the-wool libertarian? Someone who, taken at his word, wants not to bury but to revive a more radical version of the same neoliberal dogmas of yore about a limited state and the rejection of protectionism?

Inside Trump’s Decision to Skip the G.O.P. Debate (N.Y. Times) Of course, the notion that anybody writing for the NYT could possibly fathom what’s ‘inside Trump’s decision’ to go to the bathroom, much less skip the GOP debate, is ludicrous.

Why Trump might regret passing on the first debate (Politico) I’m betting that he shows up at the last minute, says something like “I thought I was going to get indicted today, but I didn’t, so I decided to show up here”, and turn over the game board. The press would go nuts, and would pay no attention to the other candidates.

The Constitution Prohibits Trump From Ever Being President Again (The Atlantic) Luttig and Tribe are the Crazy Uncles of the Deep State, the legal equivalent of Bernie Sanders.

Christie: Trump Canceled Election Fraud Press Conference Because ‘He’s Scared’ Of Jail (Huffington Post) The odds of Christie knowing anything about why Trump does something are less than zero.

Oberlin College … Again

10th August 2023

Read it.

So throughout the Oberlin/Gibson’s litigation I kept thinking: It looks like it wouldn’t take much effort by the college to restore the Gibsons’ satisfaction and to get them to drop the lawsuit. Make a perfunctory statement about the good faith of the Gibsons (especially since the shoplifters admitted guilt and said they didn’t believe race played any role in their apprehension). Agree for the college to continue buying products at about the rate the college bought them before the dispute. Agree to put Gibson’s on a “recommended vendor” list for outside organizations that meet on or use college facilities. Instead, the college dug in its heels, going full “scorched earth” in public relations and in litigation, cutting off business relations with Gibson’s, urging others in town to cut off business relations with Gibson’s, and making or encouraging others to make unfounded accusations against Gibson’s and the Gibson family.

The lawsuit verdict appears largely a consequence of the unreasonable behavior of the college. So I find it amusingly ironic that the college is now asserting that the insurance companies should have been more reasonable.

NEIGHBOR AGAINST NEIGHBOR: Social Networking App Boots Moms for Liberty Amid Leftist Attacks

2nd August 2023

Daily Signal

The social networking platform Nextdoor bills itself as an app to bring neighbors together, claiming that “connecting with others is a universal human need,” but it relies upon the Southern Poverty Law Center, a far-left smear factory, to determine which groups are too “hateful” to be good neighbors.

Nextdoor recently banned a Tennessee chapter of the concerned parents group Moms for Liberty after neighbors reportedly complained about the group being on the site. The ban took place exactly one week after the SPLC put Moms for Liberty—including the Hamilton County, Tennessee, chapter—on a “hate map,” along with chapters of the Ku Klux Klan.

“As a mom and former teacher in the community who cares deeply about the future of our children, I think it is ironic that a company that aims to bring communities together has targeted a large group of our community members by canceling us. We cannot communicate with our community,” Tonya Dodd, chapter chair of the Hamilton County Moms for Liberty, told The Daily Signal.
