V for Victory & Venom for Values: Part III
America’s Descent Into the Abyss
That the reaction is not to think it through, not to question, not to assemble facts, not to make arguments — but instead to wave banners and spout slogans such that you could hardly distinguish what they were doing from a manifesto that would come out of [does it matter?]”
— Glenn Loury, Tucker Carlson Today
When the context suits you, such words are solid gold. What you do when it doesn’t — determines the worth of your word. Ripping on woke is all the rage. And outrage industries of dish it but can’t take it — would talk about race and responsibility till the end of time. But heaven forbid we have a single conversation about war and responsibility.
Politeness and Consideration for Others is Like Investing Pennies and Getting Dollars Back
Never mind that and this:
It is amazing how many people think that they can answer an argument by attributing bad motives to those who disagree with them. Using this kind of reasoning, you can believe or not believe anything about anything, without having to bother to deal with facts or logic.
From my site:
Behold the Legacy of Your Beloved Sowell:
On evidence involving artillery rockets and material properties of centrifuge rotors — the apostles of Sowell smugly cite his books on economics, race, and whatnot: Anything to glorify him as they abandon any notion of accountability: Butchering his bedrock beliefs as they dance in delight behind their force field of fallacy.
These people do nothing but question my motives, mock my site, and assault my character — then proudly post quotes of Sowell looking stately as he condemns the very thing they’re doing:
My words:
Out of 31 tubes in subsequent testing, only one was successfully spun to 90,000 RPM for 65 minutes — which the CIA seized on as evidence in their favor. . . . DOE’s standard is to spin a tube at 20% above 90,000 RPM before failure — so 48,000 short is a pretty loose definition of “rough indication.”
Sowell’s words:
People who talk glibly about ‘intelligence failure’ act as if intelligence agencies that are doing their job right would know everything.
Which ones strike you as glib? 🤔
Repeat slogans: “Everybody believed Iraq had WMD”
Question people’s motives: "Bush hater, Bush basher, Bush Derangement Syndrome, Plamegate" & plenty more. Adding to the arsenal of childish crap to continue the tradition: "Snowflake, Libtard, Libturd, Cupcake, TDS, Demon-crat, Democrat Party"
Bold assertions: "Russians said so, British said so, Bill Clinton said so, Leaders of both parties said so"
No coherent argument, Repeat slogans, Vent their emotions, Question people’s motives, Bold assertions: ✔✔✔✔✔ — and then some!
And these are “mild” compared to the savagery I’ve seen:
You couldn’t carry Sowell’s jockstrap!”
Seriously? Get a life. It doesn’t matter what you say, he’s better than you basically in everything.
You deserved to be treated that way! You’re a moron and pathetic character assassin
Holy shit…. a video of a circle jerks with a nut in the center talking about RPMS. Yet somehow Thomas Sowell is a liar.
There is no measure for how asinine these acolytes are in defending the indefensible — automatons devoid of rational thought and manners. Your behavior has not an atom of integrity, courtesy, curiosity, courage, decency, effort:
Or any virtue of any kind.
Sowell’s a well-mannered guy and you act like animals to honor him. How proud he must be of the legacy he’s leaving behind in your love for him: Carrying the torch to torture the truth.
