At this point we have entered a world of nihilism and cynicism and we instinctively flee to the safe harbors of tribalism and emotionalism.

And why the left's leading intellectual lights, be they activists, economists, or comedians, are consumed almost exclusively with the practice and craft of deconstructionism.

The mind that has been cut free from the moorings of traditional values and reasoning will "rise up" for NOTHING except a reasonably articulate sophist proposing a barely plausible, but emotionally satisfying narrative, for how the listener is being cheated by some diabolical "power broker."

To quote the movie 300, "Come, let us reason together."

Truthfully, I would welcome your input on any of the upcoming 'serious' editorials I will be crafting.
