Recreating the theatrical residues of history
Comments (0)
On the Picket Line, a funny post about the circus of the current progressive movement
In San Francisco, to be part of the anti-war, progressive movement means to be sharing the stage with a whole bunch of unapologetic Stalinists, paranoid schizophrenics, ersatz intifadists, tin-eared rhetorical broken-records, insatiable identity-politics police, new-age gurus of every variety, publicity hounds, careerist Democrats, and the like... A superficial fetishization of the theatrical residue of history gets you a renaissance faire, not a successful political movement.
The author also gives some hopeful reports from a recent conference he attended.
