Exactly how did the Left swivel away from the concerns of the (mostly) genuinely oppressed to this weird boutique world of mix’n’match identities, bizarrely ranked?”

I’ve concluded the Elites have beautifully coopted the Old-New-Left by way of the Social Justice Movement’s identity politics. Freddie de Boers is on the case:

I’m a Marxist. Though I’m a fairly unorthodox one at this point, I would still love to see a Marxist revolution. You know, an international movement of workers rising up and taking control of political and economic systems, and distributing resources and labor based on need, while organized under the principle of shared ownership of the productive apparatus of society.

Back in the 60s/70s the Left was perpetually on guard against being coopted by the Establishment to the point of paranoia.

Now the Left welcomes being coopted. It’s not a simple betrayal. Since the Left took over the academic high ground, the Elites have been indoctrinated into the Left and it became a class distinction. (Witness the BBC.)

And now the Elites have eaten the Left.

Kinda brilliant in its way .

Philadelphia Journalist Who Mocked Concern Over Violent Crime In Democrat Cities Shot Dead In Home

Experience keeps a dear school…

At around minute 50 you get the answer why so many of us continue to support President Trump. He’s put everything on the line for America. He truly loves America.

He’s seeing the increasing pace of globalization and the left’s efforts in this country to turn the system to permanent advantage. The law has been so perverted, but I don’t think the Supreme Court has the stomach to even try and set it right. They already know they and their families will be living in protective custody if they do.

This dovetails with another issue about the WHO. New rules are going to allow the left to abrogate any responsibility for the next Biological Terror weapon released for their use. Our government has ceded power to them that will allow them to hide behind.

Megan, JFM:

I am reminded of Michelle Shocked’s lovely 80s folkie hit, “Anchorage.” Naturally I tried to link it.

But there was no YouTube link. Shocked was a leftie, turned Christian. Back in 2013 she mentioned her gay-skeptical congregants and she got cancelled … hard.

Now I can’t find Michelle’s “Anchorage” anywhere.

It was a quiet morning, the town covered over with darkness and at ease in bed. Summer gathered in the weather, the wind had the proper touch, the breathing of the world was long and warm and slow. You had only to rise, lean from your window, and know that this indeed was the first real time of freedom and living, this was the first morning of summer.

I can get some of that back by listening to Vince Guaraldi’s jazz piano for the “Peanuts” specials. Or better yet George Winston’s cover:
