‘How did we get to the point where we talk about what Piers Morgan thinks?’
13th March 2013
Lileks is not afraid to ask the hard questions.
He’s the latest in a long line of scolds and fussbudgets who want to slap Bad Thing X out of your hand for your own good. Never trust anyone whose frustration with the limits of persuasion lasts less than three seconds. If you can’t be persuaded you must be required. It’s almost insulting to have to try to persuade someone of something so self-evident; you have to pretend there’s mental equality between you and the idiot who insists on drinking soda with POISON in it.
And that’s my reaction to Democrats and their fellow fascists everywhere. These are people to whom the thought ‘Eh, it’s none of my business’ has never occurred.
