This is why I want nothing to do with the conventional left.

Five cartoonists had just been killed by a death squad, and many on the left and the right seemed uncertain about which party had committed the greater offense.

Completely foul. Especially as the vast vast majority of the people — including most of the “educated” Left — didn’t actually understand any of the cartoons!

Political ideology as such is dead. Both sides of it. Something new might coalesce before we go extinct due to global climate change and the shutting down of the oxygen cycle.

But probably not.
