I have referred to this article numerous times over the years. It is the most concise explanation for one part of the insanity that has overcome us as a populace, that you still won’t find in a place like, say, The New Yorker. Twenty years hence, they’ll finally come around; the rest of us are left to fight before it’s too late.

I've said this on other forums. Something the Very Online Left doesn't realize is that in the 1930s, socialism/Marxism/communism was very much considered hip, cool, in vogue and leading edge. And they thought they owned the institutions.

20 years later, not so much.

Go rewatch Oppenheimer if you want to see how that played out last time.

I'm not saying McCarthyism was right, but it was indeed a thing.
