“The Cat in The Hat”

But then again you asked the fish...
I would recommend:

Exodus

The True Believer

Mutual Aid

Ecclesiastes

And songs like “The Future” by Leonard Cohen which updates Yeats with some modern specificity.
But I was just talking to Peter Thiel and found myself opining: “We have to stop trying to figure out whether this is 1968, 1917, 1860 or 1939. It’s none of those. We are finally, for the first time in many years, living in the future we discuss so much.”

Welcome. But that was not the extent of how wrong you were. Y’all were wrong about the “Intellectual Dark Web”. About it being right wing.

We were trying to warn you that the far woke left was hell bent to make omelettes mostly as an excuse to break as many “eggs” as possible.
I don’t want to take victory laps, but I’m not above it. You were very wrong Matt. And we couldn’t have been nicer or clearer. But you chose ridicule. Sorry. It’s not personal. You just totally didn’t get it.

Happy to discuss it. DM if interested.
Please retweet the first tweet in this thread. I want to close the coffin lid forever on labeling every member of the thinking principled Left as bro, a near neo-nazi or closet Alt-right.

Slanderous bullishit.
It’s G-d damned time to kill it.
Finally.

Shame & self-humiliation have become a trendy 🌎 fetish.

We talk about sadism & masochism as a pair: sadomasochism.

We talk of Narcissus & Echo.

We need a word for the kinky pair of the groveler & the scold who gets off having his/her boots licked to a shine. #Humiliphiliacs
With Humiliphilia, (s)he who gets off debasing others through coercing apologies is the Humiliatrix. If their victim/lover is eager to kiss their feet & beg forgiveness, that would make that person the Sobmissive.

Video of blameless folks kneeling before others? Now everywhere.
[Note: many people will now not notice that kneeling, either metaphorically or literally, is not Humiliphila. There are lots of reasons to kneel that are positive. I don’t know why but folks will not parse what I wrote. Why? Dunno. Beats me. It just happens...Chinese bots maybe?]

Uh..I’ve had the ‘privilege’ of having my car rammed by police who tried to get me not to report. I’ve taken an officer to task for flicking a lit cigarette out his window into my open car window, etc.

I’m a huge fan of good cops. Just no friend of powertripping while uniformed.
So let’s talk about this privilege.

I’d like to think that those of us who stand our ground against police abuse of power are solid Americans as opposed to Richie Rich.

So, I actually never want to hear the word privilege used like this. I’m a US patriot. There’s a difference.
If you don’t have the stones or the confidence in our boys and girls in blue to stand up to police abusing power, just step aside. But don’t disrespect or interfere with American patriots who don’t want to fear their own team. I love & trust most cops. Most are heroes. Clear? 🙏
