Oh fuck. Few things disturb me; that did.

There is nothing more resilent and less amenable to change than ideology based in identity. The left has no lock on that, of course — they just tend to be more obnoxious about it in normal times.

But these are not normal times, and thus we are seeing the last literal gasp of dying of identity. These people are perishing and their final thoughts as they struggle to breathe are denying the truth of their condition.

You hate to see it.
