How do we lead moral lives in an age of bullies?

We are dealing with people who intend to enslave us, and they dont mind at all adding us to massive new piles of bodies if we are a problem.

My response is "Add me to the piles, I am going to continue to be a problem".
 
In my lifetime, I have witnessed a shift from support of decency to tolerance of cruelty. Where do we go from here?

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance.

This is what civilization demands. It’s what the struggle for social justice requires. It’s why that struggle is so critical today, and why we all must be part of it.

This makes no sense. Nothing is stopping you from living a moral life. What is it with you Marxists and the collective? Can’t do anything on your own ?

The New Slavers can only be put down by mass rebellion....the thing is people are generally shit quality now....it will not be happening for the forseeable future.
 
Wow, just what I'd expect from the Left: Selective moral outrage. It's fine when the Left is intolerant and cruel.
"Intolerant and cruel"? trump is using the power of the government to force private institutions to change their curriculum. trump just destroyed over $10 in birth control devices rather than give them to nations who need them. They just had to incinerate millions of dollars in food rather than give it to starving nations because trump's an asshole. And let's not even get started on changing the names of ships and football teams because Republicans are petty little children. How about masked thugs chasing down berry pickers and bus boys?

Intolerant and cruel? You've described your own party perfectly.
It's only a problem when anyone else is, particularly if they exercise that in defiance of the Left.

Reich is a barking lunatic in that article.

Only if those institutions want to take federal money. Harvard has billions in endowments. They could simply stop taking federal money, like say Liberty University already does and then they could teach whatever the hell they want. But Harvard is greedy and can't pull away from the federal trough.

So? Since when is it the US's role to be the provider of such things to every nation on the planet?

Same thing, only here the food was expired by "Use by" date. If the federal government were to give such food to Americans, they'd have their asses sued off them in federal court in a nanosecond.
And let's not even get started on changing the names of ships and football teams because Republicans are petty little children.

Well, the names originally given or changed to were asinine Leftist sops to bullshit social justice. Why the fuck would we as a nation name a ship after a gay child molester?

Because that's what law enforcement officers do to criminals. Illegal immigration is a crime. One of the penalties for it is deportation.

Intolerant and cruel is the Left. It's just a matter of who they're doing it to.

Ruh-roh! You've triggered a lot of Big Daddy supporters, Hume. LOL
 
WILL: He used to just put a belt, a stick and a wrench on the kitchen table and say "choose."

SEAN: Gotta go with the belt there...

WILL: I used to go with the wrench.

SEAN: The wrench, why?

WILL: Cause fuck him, that's why.
