The problem — at least the main problem — I have with the liberal “completely safe” prudery is that it’s just fundamentally anti-fun. There’s a surprisingly good and underrated movie called In Time where a main premise is that the rich are essentially immortal medically but can still die of injuries. The result is that they hardly do anything at all for fear of risking their immortality: they don’t swim, they don’t play and they mostly stay inside hiding from the world. They are the lockdown lifers in cinema form and though they have everything, their lives consist of nearly nothing.

This film is a perfect portrayal of modern liberals. Animated by fear, which is no animation at all, and driven by misapprehension of risk. This is paralysis and slow death. In reality there is no “completely safe,” of course. Inaction is action. Avoidance is merely attracting other dangers. Risk is not something that can be eliminated; life always ends the same way.

I’m ready to dance on liberalism’s grave. I just need the right tune.
