This piece is published today in the magazine American Thinker. It is essentially an outline of my forthcoming book, minus the Conclusion (which is summarized in draft here).
Bravo - excellent article. It is a powerfully-impactful summary of (and an important lesson on) key elements of recent history that clearly & concisely illustrates how virtue signaling & idealism - when carried too far - become a far greater menace than even the serious, deeply-entrenched problems these initiatives were originally intended to address.
I hope it starts fires inside the minds of those who read it, and adds more fuel to the flames that are already lit. It will take a great deal of illumination & benevolent destruction to expose & excise these hypocrisies from society, academia, politics, & media.
Thanks very much for the kind words. Yes, the point is get people thinking "outside the box" and outside their "comfort zone". I believe that only by looking beyond the more obvious explanations will we find solutions. Reforming (or abolishing) the FBI or CIA, important as that is, will not help if they are not the source of the problem. Reforming (or abolishing) the welfare state may have a greater impact in the long run.
