re: #16 researchok

There were some good responses in the piece.

I found Anthony Daniels’ remarks to be particularly on point.

Excerpts:

(The right to pursue happiness has long since been replaced by the right to be happy.) Hence he revenged himself upon those who denied him his right.

This is just a subroutine of “modern society is all about people being takers who think they deserve things.”

It’s horseshit.

Needless to say, such people are incapable of genuine self-examination, which has been replaced almost entirely in the modern world by psychobabble and sociological pseudo-explanations of human behavior.

Wash, rinse, repeat. Blahblahblah sick culture psychologists are part of the problem.

Also horseshit…and not even original.

It’s just a hunting decoy for paleoconservative babble about values and traditional morality. You can search and find these same phrases used elsewhere, and then look at the proposed remedies: rolling back gender equality and sexual mores, putting God back in schools, banishing “moral relativism” by allowing prayer in schools and re-writing textbooks to be American-exceptionalism brochures., and generally muddying the interaction between church and state.
