Succinctly and rightly reasoned Sam. And even those who were on the streets in "my day" protesting against Vietnam and protesting for civil rights (and there were risks, not just in the form of a police truncheon), have grown too comfortable in what for them is 'their golden years.' Worse still, they still believe themselves to be on the cutting edge of liberal thought, fighting for justice.

And too many “woke”, sensitive friends, who are freaked out by Trumps victory, don’t give a 🐀 rat’s ass about genocide, torture and World War III. Or is it that we don’t know what to do to? That helpless impotence leaves us with “virtue signaling.” Try telling them, particularly in NY, that they wasted their votes, voting DNC, when they could have made it count, voting Green.

Very good and timely expose' of Malcolm and looking into all your added sites because there is much I do not know, though I just bought his biography but do not know how much I can trust it. We shall see. Unfortunately, the impending doom of so much that can change our world for better or worse, has led me to buy a ton of books I have not yet read. I need a vacation. And I'm about to get one not in the worse way, like prison, but getting moved out of my public housing unit to spend two weeks or more in a hotel, which unfortunately does have internet.
