“it is the imperviousness to reason that is most striking” Rod Little

All ‘isms’ on the left, to one degree or another, reject critical aspects of the outer reality within which we exist. It is quite literally a form of insanity.

They entirely fit the True Believer as defined by Eric Hoffer.

To a Tee.

Apparently their existence is to avoid themselves — and their own time, their own culture.

Anything but “Now.”

All of the responses to Riddle were…either emotional, or virtual signaling; nothing about *outcomes*. Can’t figure out if this really doesn’t occur to them or they’re engaging in magical thinking, that their tolerance/support of immigrants will result in them being spared as a reward.

There are some in Europe who are starting to fight back. For example, look at this huge banner unfurled at a soccer match in Poland:

Other forms (violent) of pushback are happening, too: http://preview.tinyurl.com/q4emak9

By the way, although I wasn’t familiar with Liddle before writing this post, and although I characterized his point of view as expressed in this post as representing that of the right, I’m well aware that he’s not really of the right.

That appears to be true enough.

Too much choice going on here ….

Basically, if you watch the entire video, he seems to have come to the conclusion that progressive programs have in general been co-opted by those for whom they were not necessarily intended originally.

Perhaps in the way that some might argue that social movements which originally seemed to assume that they would result in black male heads of households getting a fair shake in the opportunity pool, *seem*, and I say “seem”, to have benefited white females and immigrants more.

In this then, he seems to represent old left labor, rather than social justice agenda leftism. Old line “Marxism” versus “cultural Marxism” you might almost, say by way of analogy.

I love that lady. I could listen to liberal women reasoning out loud all day and not tire of it. But no woman had ever said something so funny, ever. I want more of her. I’ll pay a subscription fee.

Note how Liddle shortens the ‘a’ in class.
There is an awkward silence, then someone laughs and the audience goes “ooooh”, and Schama knows he’s beaten. The un-sayable has been said. This is not so much about “virtue-signalling” as social superiority signalling. Perhaps it’s the same in your country.
