And they are going to look at your shopping cart and tell you you bought the wrong matches because the sulfur is in the striking paper, and explain a few more mistakes in your cart. And they will tell you not to buy it all in one place (dummy). And you will leave, confused, only to have them chase you in the parking lot and angrily snarl at you to stay out of their territory.

HEY-O!<br /><br /><b>They have a social experience with a lot of people and fool themselves into thinking they are members of a coherent and demanding community.

HEY-OOOO!<br /><br /><b>...identity politics is too small for this moment.</b><br /><br />You're right, David Brooks. The identity politics of divorced, hypocritical, Republican PR hack-journalists are indeed too small for this moment. We'll carry on without you, since you're too incapable or cowardly of opposing Trump, and too caught up in bashing women along with him.<br /><br /><b>Instead, the marches offered the pink hats, an anti-Trump movement built, oddly, around Planned Parenthood, and lots of signs with the word “pussy” in them...</b><br /><br />David, remember what the anti-Obama movement was built around? The Tea Party? Do you? And let's see, what were on conservative signs? Something about calling President Obama names? Do you really want to go there and make a comparison?<br /><br /><b>a generation of liberals and progressives narcissistically unaware of conditions outside their self-defined groups, and indifferent to the task of reaching out to Americans in every walk of life....</b><br /><br />And this is in comparison to...Trump? REALLY, David Brooks? Millions of people are narcissistic to march against Donald Trump, and indifferent to reaching out? What about your own party? WHAT ABOUT YOUR PRESIDENT?<br /><br /><b>The central threat is not the patriarchy.</b><br /><br />Then why do you need to leap to its defense, David? At least we've gotten you to simply acknowledge it exists. Baby steps, I guess.<br /><br /><b>dynamism of capitalism with biblical morality...</b><br /><br />Just ignore everything this Jesus guy says though. He's a bit of a hippie and we don't focus on him too much except when he's born and when he dies. Ignore everything he did in between. Also, he's white and blue eyed because that's important to me for some reason.<br /><br />Shorter David Brooks: "Projection now, projection tomorrow, and projection forever!"<br />Lit3Bolthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10407681812425172672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-70579610717301797062017-01-24T12:51:23.633-06:002017-01-24T12:51:23.633-06:00Yeah, we should all do it exactly the way you say ...
