Come on, cheer up. If this can still revolt people not everything is lost.
I just want to remind you of a quote that is at the bottom of every page at the People’s Cube:
=====================
“The uncontested absurdities of today are the accepted slogans of tomorrow. They come to be accepted by degrees, by precedent, by implication, by erosion, by default, by dint of constant pressure on one side and constant retreat on the other – until the day when they are suddenly declared to be the country’s official ideology.”
~ Ayn Rand
=====================
The purpose of this piece was precisely that – to contest absurdities that threaten to become the country’s official ideology.
