Brooks is a neoliberal chickenhawk, the left mocks him and the right misunderstands him.

This quote was especially insightful as well from him
“Meanwhile, members of the less-educated classes have to walk on eggshells, because they never know when we’ve changed the usage rules, so that something that was sayable five years ago now gets you fired” Controlling language is quite a weapon. Remember, college kids the usefulness of abusing the shit out of the word “unsafe” | ||

It's quite ironic that they assume people who disagree with them are "less-educated"... As if education leads to philosophical parity. It's a grievously ignorant misunderstanding of both the people who disagree with them, and the concept of education itself.

Not much. Thats why I don't mind engaging y'all in your own playground. Unfortunately, most of y'all have a very superficial understanding of your own precepts which leads you to quickly abandon that avenue of rhetoric when confronted with the precepts of your own lexicon; gotta go download your updated dogmatism.

“ During his presidency Barack Obama used the word “smart” in the context of his policies over 900 times. The implication was that anybody who disagreed with his policies (and perhaps didn’t go to Harvard Law) must be stupid” | |||

Also from the article:
“Members of our class also segregate ourselves into a few booming metro areas: San Francisco, D.C., Austin and so on. In 2020, Biden won only 500 or so counties, but together they are responsible for 71 percent of the American economy. Trump won over 2,500 counties, responsible for only 29 percent. Once we find our cliques, we don’t get out much. In the book “Social Class in the 21st Century,” sociologist Mike Savage and his co-researchers found that the members of the highly educated class tend to be the most insular, measured by how often we have contact with those who have jobs unlike our own” | ||

Just another deplorable over here. They're super educated, but they can't replace a fuse in their car or even change their oil, so they take it to jiffy lube where they get scammed for twice the price of their oil change for air filters that have a little dust to shake out of em
