Here’s a discussion between two people from my boyhood, whom I won’t identify by name, and whose comments I did not edit.
Old acquaintance 1: Guns, aren’t the problem, cars, alcohol, drugs, kill, way many more people. Let’s talk the truth here it’s people that are problem. How they are brought up , their mentality what they’re saying on the TV which in many cases is nothing but hatred you can call it like it is and this is the fact.
Old acquaintance 2If an individual goes crazy, wants to hurt someone and has rock, he might hurt someone badly. If he has a gun, people will die. Yes the problem is people, let’s not allow them the weapons to deal with their sick solution.
The discussion makes me wonder how people in France or Japan or Croatia frame this discussion.  I’m thinking that perhaps we in the U.S. have too many (barely literate) people like old acquaintance #1 to be able to deal with our problems intelligently, and that perhaps we’re doomed to remain stuck in neutral when it comes to issues like public safety.

Not sure about this.

A magna cum laude graduate of Harvard Law School might struggle to identify a bear. Could be.

This is the intelligence level of the American electorate today.

The Chinese ownership of American farmland is less than 0.00036, or 0.036%.  To put this into perspective, if the entirety of U.S. farmland were reduced to one acre, the Chinese government and business interests would own less than 15 square feet, about half the size of a small broom closet.

Yet, true to form, this is a huge issue for the MAGA base.

Social Justice and Despotism?

Published

This guy is quite effective in talking to uneducated, conservative Americans, most of whom have never traveled to, or even read anything about the happiest countries on Earth.

If I were going to make a statement about the relationship between social justice and despotism, I would at least consider the lives of the people in places that consider social justice to be something of importance, and compare/contrast this to the list of the countries that are perennially at the top of the World Happiness Rankings.

What makes the people in New Zealand, Iceland, Costa Rica, Northern Europe, etc., so happy?  Why do these are these nations suffer exactly zero despotism?

I would be completely ashamed of myself if I were to forward a political theory that had precisely no basis in fact.
