Which is more a pressing concern for our body politic - racism, or feminism? For me, the answer couldn't be clearer. After all, it wasn't hooded Klansmen, or HBDers, or Tea Partiers, or the Rotorary Club armed to the teeth with The Bell Curve, who stormed the Wordpress gates. It was those who consider themselves "progressive" and who all have vaginas, who did it. And they also just so happen to be Black.
There are the lies that they teach you.
There are the consistent examples, day after day, that prove otherwise, often in pretty brutal ways.
Then there is metanoia.
One of the reasons I've slacked off a bit on this blog is that I've noticed the randomness surrounding this event, whether it is truly theological in nature, or is indicative of the destruction of one these state sanctified lies. The discussion seems peripheral to the conversion, so to speak. People develop narratives about why they change their mind about this or that, but if you understand the weakness of stories, the near psychotic insistence the ego has to minimize the appearance of chaos in our lives, well you get an a pretty strong impression that the path is certainly not linear.
Or, I could do the hbd thing, and congratulate Obsidian for being an outlier, but it seems too pat, doesn't it, especially since there are plenty of really smart people still bowing to our democratic idols.
