I have followed Naomi Klein since No Logo, and the Shock Doctrine was excellent. But more recently Klein has resorted to the conformity of shitlib talking points related to punditry on the populist Left, calling them conspiracy theorists. Really disappointing and condescending critique that only serves established power and interests.

Thanks for covering the attacks on the feminists at the library. They got so little media coverage, in part because the fascists stole their go pros and cell phones. I hadn’t heard about the unmasked anarchists. Sheesh!

You are one of the most sane people I know, David. The Antifa loony tunes you are talking about, along with the collections of purple hair, body piercing, alphabet soup sexual deviates are mentally ill. As you say, you can't win an argument with a lunatic so save your breath. That particularly goes for anyone religious. Religions are based on "faith". Faith is what you fall back on when there is no evidence to support your belief system. Anyway, keep on keeping on . . . you're on the right track, not a siding.
