Barbarians at the gates
by Campbell Campbell-Jack, A Grain of Sand:
The only good thing to emerge from the events of the past few weeks is that the moral bankruptcy of leftist progressives has been highlighted. Mobs of well-meaning ‘liberals’ have gathered to justify the carnage of Hamas, as though beheading babies ripped from the womb is understandable if done in the sacred name of a ‘rebellion’ to bring down the oppressor.
This is more than a natural support for the underdog, a David vs Goliath re-enactment. We are witnessing the ultimate outworking of the morally idiotic pursuit of ‘social justice’, the simplistic offspring of identity politics, in which the Bad People are those with power, and the Good People are those without it. In this scheme, the line between good and evil passes not through each human heart, but between identity groups, and it has infected every sector of our culture.
Woke Capitalism. From Nike’s support for Colin Kaepernick, Gillette’s rejection of ‘toxic masculinity’, and Starbucks’ and Ben & Jerry’s automatic support for every woke campaign, there has been a sharp increase in corporations taking over public morality and attempt to remake society.
