I love this.  Here you can BUY some “anti-capitalista” t-shirts.

Why the leftists don’t “get” the monumentally funny and intelligent “The People’s Cube.” Great report…

P.S. Can I get a POPE t-shirt?

I’ve been watching this Weather Underground documentary throughout the day today. Seeing these 60’s radicals kindles thoughts about how sad, pathetic, and transparent the “new left” of the 60’s and 70’s really was. I keep asking myself — how did anyone fall for it all?

I could only shake my head while watching the former Weathermen, now adultvs, try to justify the inexcusable behavior of their childhood and seeing how pathetically they gave up once it stopped being fun (one loser was lonely and missed his girlfriend — well duh!).

Two things still confuse me (I was born in 1978). One, how did the movement become so cheap-feeling so quickly (”rad” slogans everywhere, the pathetic drug and sex culture, the hero-worship of the drug-addled mind)? Two, what sort of moral void in the general culture must have existed for unhinged post-modernism to be so completely unleashed on American society? Certainly, the decline of Christianity in these raving communists’ lives did not push aside their attraction to religion - if anything, they were seeking a religion more stridently than their parents, whom they had to despise inately. Whether this documentary understands it or not, it hammers home the blatent religiousness of the entire 60’s new left movement.

Looking back to these days and looking at where we are today — it seems American culture has evolved significantly for the better. The moral foundation for individual rights seems more solid today than it was back then. That foundation is under serious attack (and the new left still exerts massive power, especially through our public institutions) but I feel safe declaring that the good guys have won more battles than they’ve lost since the end of the 60s.

Side note: Kejda — finish your book on the new left. Maybe this summer, eh?
