TODAY'S MOST PUNGENT PUTDOWN.

Ben Shapiro dismantles the notion of "telling your truth."
The narrative is important, say the media. Thus, we must characterize overt lies that ruin lives as a "sense of personal truth." But in reality, there is no "personal truth." There is only the truth, and your opinion -- or in this case, your overt lies
I had this formulation years ago. "Put another way, Wellesley's hegemonic discourse is good. Anybody who raises difficult questions is bad."  What is it about the Seven Sisters colleges, anyway?  That post was about Wellesleyans (not to be confused with Wesleyan Methodists) simultaneously cancelling ideas they disagreed with while denying they were cancelling anything.  Mr Shapiro's wisdom arises in the wake of Smith College types validating the oppression of their matriculants by disrespecting the hired hands.
