Quote for the day

"Which is the other thing about the Beck/Limbaugh conservatives in Greenberg’s study: They are sectarian. Greenberg makes the key point that they think they have secret knowledge. All sectarians do. Those ultra-leftists who used to sit around arguing the fine points of Marx and Lenin did too. But if you have 'secret know-ledge', it’s very hard to communicate to those who, sadly, don’t know. The people in Greenberg’s focus group say they want to expand their numbers, but they’re too smug and certain about everything to really effectively do so."

Please be on-topic and read the comments policy. Spam, trolls, and fight-pickers will be deleted. If you don't have a Blogspot account and aren't sure how to comment, please see here. Fair warning -- I reject all comments containing any of the following:

1. Support for transgenderism
2. Negativity about Brexit
3. Support for a military draft or compulsory national service

I am not obligated to provide a platform for views I find morally abhorrent. And obviously I'm going to delete anything which is just quoting what an "AI" said. I want to hear from you, not from the always-wrong hallucination machine.

No comments advocating violence against any specific identifiable individual, even jokingly.

Please be considerate -- no political or politics-tinged comments on non-political posts, and no performative cynicism. Finally, please remember that this is a personal blog whose main purpose is to encourage contact from people with similar interests and world-views to mine. I really don't much care for arguing and debating; if arguing and debating is what you want, there are plenty of other places on the internet which welcome that.
