So, here we were to be left with a new legal and cultural standard in adjudicating future disagreements and disputes, an utterly anti-Western standard quite befitting for our new relativist age:
The veracity of accusations will hinge on the particular identity, emotions, and ideology of the accuser;
Evidence, or lack of it, will be tangential, given the supposed unimpeachable motives of the ideologically correct accuser;
The burden of proof and evidence will rest with the accused to disprove the preordained assumption of guilt;
Hearsay will be a valuable narrative and constitute legitimate evidence;
Truth is not universal, but individualized. Ford’s “truth” is as valid as the “Truth,” given that competing narratives are adjudicated only by access to power. Ford is a victim, therefore her truth trumps “their” truth based on evidence and testimony.
Questionable and inconsistent testimony are proof of trauma and therefore exactitude; recalling an accusation to someone is proof that the action in the accusation took place.
Statutes of limitations do not exist; any allegation of decades prior is as valid as any in the present. All of us are subject at any moment to unsubstantiated accusations from decades past that will destroy lives. Assertion of an alleged crime is unimpeachable proof. Recall of where, when, why, and how it took place is irrelevant.
Individual accusations will always be subservient to cosmic causes; individuals are irrelevant if they do not serve ideological aims. All accusations fit universal stereotypes whose rules of finding guilt or innocence trump those of individual cases.
The accuser establishes the conditions under which charges are investigated; the accused nods assent.

It’s not new. Vishinsky established many the same rules for Stalin’s show trials.
I don't think Hanson is claiming they are new....just our epitaph.
I guess I’m glad to be in my 60s now. I can remember what was and will be dead before we completely turn into Stalin’s Soviet Union.
A good case for destroying the communist dem petty party. Utterly and completely destroy it until no one with a single brain cell would consider saying the name of it ever again except in the case of history books or relevant conversation pertaining to said history.
Run every single communist (aka leftist dem) out of America permanently with no chance of ever returning.
This is not about having a difference of ideology. If only that’s all it was! No; this is about the communist left doing everything it can to destroy America focusing on white males first then white females then white children. It must be stopped and eradicated at the root; by force if necessary.
Unlike the Nazi’s and the Stalinists, we don’t want to murder them in the streets or by using a gas chamber or starving them to death. We just want them to go to their rightful home; whatever communist hellhole that might be.
The current state of America reminds me of the Weimar Republic. If we are lucky we will get a Franco or Pinochet.
Innocent until proven guilty pretty much died with plea bargaining and aggressive prosecutors anyway.
Based on this standard I know a number of Senators who have no business holding public office in the United States, as well as several people who have no business as voting citizens.
The proper epitah: We should have never passed the 19th Amendment
Hansen is making the mistake that because there’s a trend, the trend must be permanent.
We aint started playing cowboys and SJWs yet.
The worm is turning, and much faster than the academic types comprehend.
Judge Bork, of blesed memory, warned about the collapse of civilization when he witnessed the Clarence Thomas hearings; i.e., Anita Hill. I wonder if it is a blessing that he is not alive to see this.
“If we are lucky we will get a Franco or Pinochet.”
It’s way past time for helicopter rides.
Posted a link to the original under American Greatness on my FB page and it went bonkers with virus and spyware notices. Had to delete.
The process IS the punishment.
Give us Weimar problems, get Weimar solutions.
If it weren't for Democrat double standards they'd have no standards at all!

Pinochet. Has my vote.
I've been saying for years that we may need a Pinochet type.
